Thinking about my worries

Am I good at my job?

Am I really capable of doing the things I say I will in the office? And if not, how do I communicate that?

Am I deserving of the position I’m being interviewed for?

How do I overcome the obstacle of not knowing who to talk to in order to make my projects successful while not fully being aware of my resources?

Am I going to be able to deliver on my ideas? I’m worried that I’ve had too many ideas for too long and then let people down by not executing them.

Am I going to be able to live up to what my supervisor sees in me? And why do they see it in me in the first place?

–

Am I a good boyfriend?

Am I ever going to be as positive as she is? Someone who everyone loves talking to and can confide in?

Am I ever going to be as hardworking and smart as she is?

Am I going to be able to make her happy?

–

Am I a good son and sibling?

Do I actually listen?

Do I actually voice my concerns instead of giving up and swallowing my tongue like I’ve done my whole life?

What am I doing to show that I’m actually trying to be somewhat successful, loving, and family-oriented?

Do I reach out to my dad and brother enough?

–

Am I a good student?

Am I actually learning anything that I can apply to my job?

Am I just going through the motions to get a high GPA so I can get a good job afterwards?

Am I making any real teacher or peer connections through my program?

Am I just getting a masters to get a masters?

What do I want to learn about next? I don’t want this to be the end of my learning.

And furthermore, is a masters just a certificate for me to say I actually do know what I’m talking about?

(have to go out to hang out with my girlfriend and friends in a bit, so going to rush through the rest)

–

Am I a good teammate?

–

Am I good at working out?

Am I good at keeping my body healthy based on what I eat and drink?

Why do I get lazy and not go?

–

Am I making the right decisions with my cryptocurrency and am I right in suggesting it to other people?

–

Am I actually smart? I feel a lot of resistance from people who think they’re experts in their field from having been in it for so long and don’t think it’s possible for anyone who isn’t in the field to have a meaningful conversation about it.

–

Am I spending my time the way I want to?

What am I not doing that I actually want to do?

What am I doing that I don’t actually want to do?
