It can feel like everything you do is wrong but just remember that is is the story we tell ourselves that can make a difference in the way we think. What would it look like if you said to yourself "Everything I do is always right?" How do you think that would make you feel? Do you think you would start to think differently? Remember you were created the way you are for a reason. You are "perfect" because you are you and there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong with you. It is very important to be empowered and to love yourself. This can help you recognize that you cannot be doing everything wrong all the time.

The real question is, were you always told you were doing something wrong since you were a kid ? By parents, teachers, peers, older siblings perhaps ? This could be a reason why you tend to feel as though everything you did was wrong. Although, realizing your own value and supporting yourself rather than blaming yourself for everything can slowly change this way of thinking. Forgiving yourself and realizing that you are human, whenever you feel like you did a mistake is a way you can feel much better about situations and feel more confident in your decisions and actions.

We are our own harshest critics. It's cheesy, but it's true. Maybe someone has commented on things you do and made it seem like everything is wrong which has carried to today. Self love has a lot to do with accepting what you do as good enough. Self examine and figure out what about the things you do seems wrong. Is it that you don't think you're good enough? That links back to self love. Being optimistic and embracing yourself goes a long way in feeling and even being successful. Talking to a listener on here can help boost your confidence. I hope this helps you!

Bad Programming, Being told that in childhood by your caregivers. A faulty program before you were old enough to reason it out so you began to blame your self and that program got stunk in your mind and you have fed it and fed it until now we are older aIt did not happen overnight and it won't change overnight until we are willing to begin to dove down and examine these negative thoughts we have about our selves. It takes work to change and a willingness to do the work for the changes. You lack confidence, you don't trust yourself. It is not your fault that you think and feel that way but it is a lie. So until you begin to make that inner critic shut its mouth it will keep yelling in your ear that You can't do anything right or that you are not good enough. That Stinking Thinking. You Can be that bold confident person you desire to be. But it will cost you time to work on you and to really meet that awesome person just waiting to evovle.

This doesn't sound like a nice way to feel. It can't be easy feeling that way all the time. It's really important to remember that you are not alone in feeling like this and I am always here to chat if you need, as a one off or as a regular, scheduled chat.
Can I ask what makes you feel that what you are doing is always wrong?
If a close friend of yours in a similar situation felt the same way, would you agree with them? How would you reassure them?
Do you think the same could be true in your situation?

Sometimes we tend to compare ourselves with others, whether it is on social media, at school or even within our family, without really knowing what goes behind the scenes. It's common for us to take our worst moments and compare them to someone else's highlights and that makes us feel like if we were doing everything wrong. We don't even take the time to question if what we are seeing is realistic or even accurate in our own situation. In reality, we all have our mistakes, ups and downs and we should not blame ourselves for it. Those mistakes and feelings of disappointment towards ourselves can actually teach us more about our mindset: what we are expecting of ourselves, the pressure we put on ourselves and how we talk to us, so we might take it from there to start having more self compassion.

it's completely normal to feel that everything you do never takes a good turn or that you're messing everything up. but that's not true. life isn't about doing a right without messing the wrongs.. messing up is an achievement, a blessing, a lesson... you can learn from your wrongs more than you can learn from anything. and if you keep doing wrongs and learning from them, you'll reach a right! don't feel frustrated because you aren't able to work things as they "should" be. you'll realize you're amazing and that you've done great one day, maybe not tomorrow or the day after, but one day trust me.

Several studies show that our brain remembers negative events more deeply than positive ones. This comes from our evolutionary need to survive, because the lion hiding in the jungle was more important for us to focus on than the sunlight filtering through the trees or beauty of the day. But now that we're modern humans, that same focus that helped us survive now works against us. When you find yourself reminiscing about a time when you feel like you failed, try and counteract this by acknowledging the positive impact you had on the situation, even if there were negative aspects too. There will be times when this feels impossible, but I've found that lying in bed at the end of the day, it helps to think about a small way in which I grew that day, however tiny. If it helps, you can talk to a friend or loved one (or a listener!)

Everyone is right at sometimes and wrong sometimes, so there are definitely going to be times when you are wrong. I think understanding and accepting that is important, but forgiving yourself is also important. But having faith in yourself and trusting yourself is key to confidence. Building self-confidence is difficult but you must be confident in yourself to believe in yourself and your decisions. Believing that you are capable to make your own decisions and knowing your worth will allow you to feel satisfied with your choices. Once you gain confidence, you will stop doubting yourself each time and feel free.

We tend to have other peoples opinions, attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs absorbed into our own brain. Since we were young, we have always been listening to others and have been learning from others since the beginning of our time. We as human beings sometimes fail to create our own values and build our own philosophies and become limited to the ones that have been imposed on us and whether we have yet broken from that spell or not. It can be completely difficult when someone you love says something you are doing is wrong, but what someone is doing may not necessarily be 'wrong' for THEM. People have different outlooks on life and just because one person would not make those choices does not mean another shouldn't. For example, if I am not attracted to someone, but someone else is, should no one go after that individual because I think one way and the other person doesn't match my belief? No!
