It sounds like you may have some anxiety. I do as well and it can lie to you. It can make you feel things that aren't true. It can make you feel like you're always in the wrong even when you're not. Maybe so some research on the subject and even speak to someone about the issue. They can help you maybe find the underlying issues and help you move on and heal from it. Anxiety can do some crazy things to you and to your self image. I've been b dealing with it for a long time.

I feel like that if you believe that everything you are doing is wrong then you are not believing in your self, and hold doubt in your capabilities. This feeling might be because you are uncertain about what you are doing at the moment and your confusion makes you think that everything is wrong and nothing is right. I feel like the best thing to do in this situation is stop, take a deep breath, and believe in yourself. It is hard, and writing it out is much easier than physically believing it, but it is doable. Only then can you be able to start thinking that your actions are right, and feel confident about them.

Personally, I feel the same way. The things I do are always going wrong which gets very stressful at times. The most important thing to do is try and focus on the things you get right. Its draining to be dragged down by the things you have done wrong, you feel bad about it enough in the moment but thinking it later on will solve nothing at all. The positive things will keep you up feeling like you are actually capable of doing things right and effectively. The things you do wrong can almost be solved. Positivity is key.

Hi there! Thank you for your question.
This is something I have experienced myself. We tend to be our own worst critic at times. Usually we can judge ourselves more harshly than others do.
Can you think back to where this might be coming from? Were you made to feel like you had to be perfect in the past? How was it growing up? Did you feel criticized a lot?
A lot of our core beliefs have to do with our past, especially things we experienced in childhood. This might be worth thinking about.
The good news is that these beliefs can be challenged and reframed into more positive ones. Looking at ourself with kindness and grace instead of judgement can make a big difference.
And even if we do something wrong? What is the worst that could happen. Mistakes make us human. Use them to learn and grow.

Sometimes depending on the environment we grew up in, the feelings that we have come from there. If you were guilted all of your life, then you may feel guilty for everything around you. It is helpful to find someone that you are comfortable talking with to change your thought pattern. It is also important to know that you are not a bad person for feeling the way that you do about things. Life just brings us different challenges and there is always someone out there who is willing to help. Just be sure that you feel safe in sharing, as once it is on the table, it is on the table.

Thoughts like, “It’s just a matter of time before something else terrible happens. Bad things always happen to me,†become a barrier to positive thoughts and prevent you from focusing on good things in your life. Most times, the unfortunate things that happen in life are things that you have no control over, so wasting emotional energy on negative thoughts like, “Why me?!†or “What’s next?,†is a dead-end proposition that only results in more negative stinking thinking. A healthier approach is to simply acknowledge the bad things that have happened as negative events and turn your attention to what’s good in your life, like people who bring you joy or activities that create feelings of happiness, contentment, and gratitude.
A note of caution: Be careful who you share your misery with. Some people will respond to your situation with negative comments like, “When it rains it really pours†or “Bad things come in threes so watch out, †which just contribute to the negativity and add to your worried thoughts and feelings of anguish. So, be careful to only share your distress with people who will provide strength and positivity.

Your perspective is really important. We all make mistakes and we all tend to be really hard on ourselves. Very often we tend to look at the things that we are not good or fail in and that takes too much space in your life and in your brain. I really encourage you to change your perspective by looking at all the positive aspects in your life and see where you do make small things that are RIGHT. A good example would be everyday you make your bed or brush your teeth ,eat healthy ,work out . We all are programmed to NATURALLY look at the negative side of things because that way we ensure our survival. When our ancestors saw something dangerous like snakes, spiders or a predator we would see danger and that way we created in or brain a NEGATIVE feed loop.
Now here is the interesting part when you replace your negative feed loop with a POSITIVE feed loop that’s when your perspective changes. It s not easy but it’s a really really powerful tool and very very rewarding

This can be a form of overthinking. I understand feeling like you're doing everything wrong and that everyone is mad at you. Sometimes it may be you being insecure and if it is, find ways to calm down. Such as listening to music or reading a book. If its a person that is making you feel this way, talk to them. Make sure they know how you feel. Thinking like this is normal for people. It may be past trauma.

This is most likely due to a lack of self-esteem. When you think and/or feel poorly about yourself, it will project onto everything you do. You'll feel like everyone doesn't like you, that nothing you do is good enough, etc. The reality is, you don't like yourself. Nothing you do is good enough for you. At the end of the day, feeling like everything you do is wrong is not actually a reflection of your abilities, intellect, etc. When you heal your relationship with yourself, it will be far easier to see your purpose and value in the world.
