New to this platform. Does anyone else experience these feelings, or lack thereof?

Hello,

I'm 25 years old with a good job, cute pets and a great support system. I have always been told things I'm "good" at (gymnastics was a big one growing up) but I personally don't see it.

I seem to struggle with what one might call perfectionism but I'm not sure how that started. Nothing I ever do (learn a new skill, complete a project at work, even have a conversation) makes me feel fully satisfied with myself.

I am constantly second guessing myself (Ex. I re-read just about every text or email I sent because I worry someone might take it the wrong way & be hurt) and it makes me feel even worse about myself.

Does anyone else experience this? If so, what do you do to practice self-love? I think if I can learn how to love myself a lot of this would be solved, but the problem is I don't feel I am a lovable person.

Thanks in advance.

You sound a very capable person in life you should be satisfied and happy regarding your so called fault. As long as you are happy why worry especially if you are not stressed and you enjoy the tasks laid out in front of you. Sad to say i can be clumsy sometimes, given that I am jelous you are positive.
