Is it normal to care about what people think about me all the time?

Everything i do in life is for someone else. i don't do anything for myself and even when i have to, i feel an exceptional amount of guilt that i am taking something away from someone else by doing something that is for me. i am so terrified of disappointing people and of course i feel as if i disappoint people all the time. nothing that i do is ever good enough, i am not good enough, i am always lacking. i just wish i could get to a "place" where one thing that i do in life will seem "good enough".

  • I'm in the same boat as you. I feel as if my life should revolve around what others think is the best for me. It's not a good place to be in.

    It could mean that your own opinion of yourself is unsatisfactory; you rely on other people's opinions of you, which is of course not a good thing. Just find ways to build up your self esteem, it couldn't hurt.

    It's like I could've written this myself, which is exactly why I don't have any advice that could help :\
