i wish i didn't have such high expectations for myself.

i win a lot in things, i do great in everything i do because i have this need to prove that i’m worth something to everyone else because yes, i value myself, but the people around me (my parents) make me feel like nothing i do is ever enough. im trying my best. and i got my score for region band. 150/200. and no, that isn’t bad, but i just feel like i failed, i didn’t get an all-state callback, and it’s so hard for me to fail at things. it really is. because i just, i’m wired to have to be the best at things. i have a 5.0 gpa, i’ve gotten 4 college scholarship offers already, and im just, still feeling like im not enough for my parents, and it’s way easier said than done to stop caring

@finneass I get that, I had to be perfect for my biological father but I was never good enough for him since I wasn’t a boy and I wasn’t his first kid; and it did do a lot of mental damage to me. Ever since then I had to be perfect but worrying over being perfect all the time is just going to hurt you mentally in the long run. You are perfect the way you are and I hope you realize that soon <33
