Why do I always think everything I do is wrong?

Humans are very confusing and complex creatures, and so when we do small things we convince ourselves that maybe we could have done better, or maybe we made ourselves look silly. Though in your mind, you truly believe everything you do, you mess up or do it wrong, the truth is that nobody but you is thinking that. your anxieties and fears make you believe things that aren’t actually as bad as they seem! For example, maybe when you were ordering food you stuttered and slurred, and after you beat yourself up about it, but in reality the cashieer has seen much worse things! by the next day, they wouldn’t even remember the simple exchange. Anxiety likes to magnify simple mistakes and make them seem so much worse than they actually are. In conclusion, you’re not as bad as you think. stay safe!

That is a great question. I thank you for the opportunity to try my best to answer it. Sometimes our mind plays tricks on us. It makes us think we are doing everything wrong,when we are doing things right. You maybe asking your self,why does the mind do that? Well the mind is very hard to figure out at times. But hopefully with people who do studies on the brain,will come up with better ways of,why people think the way they do,and help us better to understand the mind and the brain better,and hopefully we will be better off for it in the long run. I hope this helps.

Having no belief in yourself and your abilities leads to uncertainty in many aspects of your life. The uncertainty seems to have a flow in effect that becomes apparent in many daily living activities you try to achieve. Being able to acknowledge and remedy any situation as soon as you are aware of an issue is important. Sometimes issues are not always apparent and we need to trust those around us with any information or guidance they may have to help us move forward. Some times you feel like you aren’t moving forward and allowing others to help us forward is important in our journey.

Its easy to think of wrong things because as humans, we tend to take note and be more critical. This is where self praise can come in handy. Evolutionarily, we learn by trial and error. Unfortunately it can be too easy to get stuck on errors. Everybody would benefit from taking note of the good that one does as an individual. Getting over the slump of negative thought concentration can be tough but if you can disclipline youtself to reframe your thinking structure, you will feel foolish for only concentrating on the negative in the past. The future is full of oppurtunities for growth and development, you cant have either without learning from past mistakes.

Actions and decisions are meant to be right and wrong, but at the end of the day, they're the ones that should come from your heart. Sometimes the actions and decisions we make seem right or even wrong, but at the end of the day, it's not always about the outcome, but the process. In our journey through life, we will come across many actions and decisions to make, and sometimes they can be the best ones or even the worst ones, but it's about how you learn from them. There are people who will support you through your decisions and some won't, and each moment in your life is for a reason, good and bad. It's just the doubts and fears that come with those deeds. In our minds, we seem to envision the outcome of our actions and how we will feel about it, but really, the outcome can come to be the opposite of what we think. It's just our thoughts overcoming the chance for happiness and confidence in those decisions. Eventually you will find things that turn out right with people there to support you, and that's one of the most beautiful moments in life, and sometimes even the ones that feel wrong can lead up to that too, it's all for a reason and purpose.

This may be from several reasons. More information or reflection may be needed from you. It could be your upbringing or the way your parents/caregivers/family treated you. Were you bullied or ridiculed? Do you find yourself being more anxious over certain activities or things that you do? Are you very sensitive to criticism, a harsh inner voice, or do you have low self-esteem? It’s hard to come to a conclusion here or give the help that you may need. You may be experiencing a form of anxiety, like social anxiety if you are preoccupied with thoughts like these around others, but I am not sure. More information is needed.

In this high pressured society, we are conditioned to think that perfection is the standard. Whether it's in how we interact with others, the grades we score on arbitrary tests, or the career options we want for ourselves, there is always this looming notion in society that we could do better and more to reach perfection. The issue is that perfection does not exist, and so all too many people are spending their lives chasing a standard which is simply unattainable. Thinking that everything that you do is wrong is a product of a culture which praises unnatural flawlessness over happiness, personal growth, and self-respect.

The reason for this could be that your parents or people you know would have been very critical of every work that you have done. This often results in low self-esteem. You are not the reason for it. The good news is that you can build up your self-esteem. There are various self-help activities and tips on how to improve your self-esteem. Overall, you need to believe in yourself and appreciate what you have done. You can try guided self-appraisal meditation. These things would take time and everyone has their own pace. You can chat about with our listeners or go for professional help.

Some of us are raised with value systems set up to tear us down. I think that often our parents don't even realize they are doing it, but it helps to keep us weaker and more pliable, easier to control. To deal with it, I have told myself that criticizing myself everywhere makes me a better person, because if I criticize myself, maybe I'll become a better person. As I've grown away from my parents, I've realized that hurting myself doesn't help anyone, especially not me. It's taken years of concentrated effort, but I'm learning to congratulate myself more and be willing to feel pride in myself. This is what is actually beneficial to others, as a more positive attitude is more positive for the whole world. But it also makes me happier, and I deserve happiness as much as anyone, as we are all equal.
