Why do I always think everything I do is wrong?

Sometimes, as humans, we beat on ourselves. Whether it's about work or friends. We think that we can do better. It's hard not to think everything you do is wrong because you're just trying to better yourself. Although most of the time this is harmful. You need to teach yourself that it's okay to do things wrong.

Do you feel you're not good enough? Do you underestimate yourself? Somebody in your environment usually judges you harshly or tells you that you are not able to achieve something? Have you been raised with this idea of being wrong because you don't meet the desires or dreams of somebody else?

I was emotionally abused as a child by a mother who is an extreme perfectionist. She would yell at me for simple mistakes like dropping clean silverware on the floor or tripping over her feet. She was also extremely inconsistent with punishment because when she was angry she would take her anger out on me over something small that may not have bothered her if she was not already upset. As a result, I have also become a perfectionist and I am constantly worried about upsetting other people by the things I do and say. It is not my fault that I think that everything I do is wrong because I learned this behavior from someone who was hypersensitive to my flaws and could not distinguish accidents from intentional mistakes.

it is because you're too hard on yourself, you are truly amazing when you see through your low self esteem, you are better then you think you are and I know that, I bet EVERYONE knows that. Please love yourself and stop thinking yourself lowly, because I know that you deserve the best. You've worked hard on life and you are strong. Sure sometimes you make bad decisions but don't we all do that? And everything you do has meaning in it, I think the only thing you did wrong is thinking lowly of yourself, we all love and care for you.

In my experience, people think that way because they see that others are doing it better than they are or when someone comments on their work and they take that negatively. It can also be because the individual has low self-esteem, so even the smallest flaw in their work can make them feel like a failure, as they already are inclined towards that way of thinking. One way to improve this is to STOP comparing and focusing on improving yourself by taking small steps. Another way is to take criticism and feedback positively and see it as an opportunity to grow, which will allow you to improve your work, which in turn will improve your work and make you feel better about it :)

You are probably a perfectionist, who has very high standards for oneself and one's achievements. For a stereotypical perfectionist, perfection is the goal in everything they do and who they are, and they often have the same expectations of perfection for other people and external circumstances. Except, perfection does not exist in real life, thus they are left with the chronic feelings of disappointment in oneself and the world around them. Chances are, everything you do is not wrong, and if you asked other people, they may say that what you do is good or even excellent. The problem is, of course, that nothing you do is entirely perfect, and it can never be. We are humans, and we make mistakes, and even when we do things right, it will never be perfect. You must realize that what you are thinking or feeling may not always be accurate or true, and that your perfectionism bias makes you only focus on the mistakes, rather than your achievements. Try to seep your thoughts through a filter once in a while, and contrast them with objective reality. "Did I really do poorly or is it just a thought I am having? Am I trying to achieve unrealistic goals? Do I have unrealistic expectations for this situation? What are the objective evidence to support or reject my thought as resembling the truth?". Don't take your thoughts for granted, check them!

You’re overthinking, a lot of people do that. But it’s also a symptom of anxiety, so it’s better to see if you have anxiety while it can be easily taken care of. But with the over thinking, when you feel like you keep going back to something you did wrong and yelling at you’re self from it. Take a deep breath, though that may not seem easy it truly is not that hard. Sometimes you just have to be able to clear you’re mind to be able to let go of the stuff that’s holding you back. That’s keeping you from focusing. What you’re doing isn’t wrong, yes you could have made a mistake. But that’s not that big of a deal, want to know why. You’re human nobody’s perfect but you can get better, by simply learning from you’re mistakes.

Negative mindset! The the term 'everything' needs to be challenged and applied to reality. We all make wrong decisions and experience negative events however it is important to avoid self-blame and generalise the idea of wrongness to everything we do :) It is important to focus on the positives rather than the negatives - the more often we focus on what is wrong, the more likely we are going to ignore the rights. Furthermore the term 'wrong' can be challenged in a way that we all have our own interpretations of what is and what isn't. Overall - do not beat yourself down over any negative experiences. A change in perspective is key - not 'everything' we do is wrong and not everyone interprets 'wrong' the same way. Focus on the positives! We need to accept failures and find the motivation to pick ourselves back up and carry on :)

Often times, we think of things that we do is wrong because we do not have the foresight to see the consequences or benefits of our actions. It's not that the current action is wrong, we tend to fear what might happen if we continue to do what we have done. Let's take an example like breakups. Because we do not know the future, a breakup can be a very interesting part of life because we do not know whether or not that choice was wrong or right. While not applicable in every case of a breakup, it is important to rationalize decisions not solely on emotions but with logic.

If you fail in many of your attempts consecutively you conclude that you will fail every time without analyzing what was the reason for the failures. . The wrong does not lie with the doer but with the actions. you equate the results of actions with a doer . if actions are modified suitably , action will lead to successful results
