My english is not that good but I guess you will understand what IM trying to say.

I am afraid of doing anything because I think Im going to mess up. Say someone wants me to help them do something I always say no because Im afraid I will ruin whatever it is they are trying to do. I used to dream being a music producer but whenever I try making an instrumental I quit because I feel everything is wrong. I love music but what Im really worried about is my career. This is my second year as an engineering student and its hard to imagine being part of a project where I will be responsible if anything goes wrong. I have also become less creative because I doubt myself a lot even thouhg a lot of people think Im one of the best students in my course.

    Everybody has doubts. You just need more confidence.

    Are you human? Humans are fallible, period. Whatever gave you the idea you could or would be perfect? Forget it. You should accept the fact that you are going to make mistakes, lots of mistakes, but that is how the wise person learns from and doesn't repeat, their mistakes.

    As a music producer I can tell you it is extremely hard to find money in it. I love music too and my life revolves around it but I am also a 30 year old man with no money living in his moms basement eating off food stamps.

      Is it not time to find a new career? 30 isn't that old to start down a new path.

        Honestly, I don't know what else to do and even if I put all my focus into something else, I wouldn't have time to do my music, which is more important to me than anything. Due to health issues I'm having a hard enough time lately functioning enough to just take care of myself. If my resources ever run out I plan to live out in the mountains if I can because I do not care much for society anyways. Nobody ever really knows how long they will live so I want to do the things that are important to me while I still can.
