"I am done with trying to be perfect. or i am done with fearing of making mistakes"

Isn't that the starting point for all those Sensible people who claim their lives not as what Someone tells them how to live but what They Want?

It's Your Life -- Live the way YOU Want.
Or, you'll beat yourself up -- to no avail.

Of course we all live in a natural world, so there are constraints. But it's Your Life -- first and foremost. Live It YOUR Way. What are you waiting for?

Baby steps are a pleasant way to manage a healthy type of habit. Many small steps can also arrivd at a destunation. Extend a timeline to suit your way.
Many remember that childhood phrase about treating others how you're like to be treated. If a friend needed some support you'd likely do what you could. Treat yourself the same way. Make it fun at times. Do what you enjoy. Little things help a lot. Laugh everyday. If we're our own best friend we're giving ourselves a great start. All the best to you. ❤️ 💙 💜

Sisyphus,

Wondering if the 1st part of your above post re the part in '' '' is someone else followed by your words or both parts are your words?

That is good. No one is perfect. Look at the expectations you have of yourself and others. I find my expectations of myself and other people are usually unrealistic. Give yourself a break.

Thanks for clarifying that. I think it's good that you can post here. Like some others have replied to you, I hope you can add an "for instance' example. Even a few is helpful. People obviously do care. I can relate to your couple statements as they are too.

Have felt something like that at various 'cross'streets also it's sort a like reading a book or watching a show & getting to a point where you just feel like, okee dokee, time out. Just an example. 💜
