too afraid to start... (overcoming Gifted Kid Syndrome) 

this video brought me some extra catharsis to continue on this journey! :) Thank you for giving me the time and space to be vulnerable, hope you enjoyed!

Your thoughts resonate soo much with me its genuinely crazy man. Soo glad i came upon your channel real cool

I've been paralyzed for years now , just like that. There are so many ideas and dreams I wanna achieve but I'm right here sitting down doing nothing because I'm afraid of failing and everything what you've just said. I too will try to move and take action. I will try to verbalize or write down my feelings just like you did . I hope all of us overcome ourselves.

I think that sharing your thoughts could make ppl relate to you which is so sweet and make it feel like you are not the only one suffering from this so definitely keep going ♥

You said exactly what I have been thinking. I hope your channel blows up because everyone needs to hear your true words!!

You described my situation to a T. I have been in a rut for THREE YEARS! I've had endless ideas about what to do with my life, yet I haven't even done ONE thing yet! Ofcourse I feel regret and shame for wasting YEARS of my life, just surviving and not living. I just recently started taking little actions, but nothing on my ideas list. I relate to being the gifted kid. I have high and perfectionist standards for myself. I should get it in the first try and if I don't, then something is wrong with me. I not good at it. Yes, I have been called smart and an artist from a very young age. I never learned how to learn. I just understood things and expected that to carry on in life. Exactly! I am completely impatient with myself. I actually get angry with myself and my competence. I feel like I'm not only letting myself down, but letting others down too, because I'm living a life that is 'beneath' me. I have paralyzing perfectionism. It's amazing how a stranger on the internet can verbalize my exact thoughts and feelings! It took me 3 years to realize, yet you understood it in a much shorter amount of time. I also believe in enjoying the journey, but I magically expect myself to be at the destination. I think that's a good strategy; to just attempt and be consistent at the attempt and focus less on the result - the result will come eventually. "I'm trying" and "I'm working on it" are beautiful things to say to ourselves. We acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of others, it's time to appreciate ourselves. Exactly! Being grateful for even just being able to do these things (no matter how imperfect)! Thank you so much for this video! You literally spoke my mind! Let's do this! We got this! 💕

Omgg flaura this is the best video in your channel for me bcus I related every inch and was struggling with this for many years and pressurising myself upon it, my mom had always been a golden and perfect child in everything and maybe the influence has passed on cus literally today I spent hours art journaling and critizing myself each second that I d be better or be doing smthing else or sme stuff like that I never like my grades down and each time I lost sme percentage from my last scoring I start burst out sobbing bcus I feel like I hv degraded and become lazy I critizing and wish how much my personality or my speech wud HV been better, thx you soo much for this video, this video makes me feel smthing my inner voice is shouting and giving me clues for smthingg, thx you soo much for making me motivated for who I am!!!

This simulation messes up your plans, if they´re not part of it´s plan. Sad but very True. So don´t blame your self.
