For example,

I need to lose weight. I constantly fear that I'll go for jogs, and eat right etc... and then I might lose weight, but then I'll gain it back, so then whats the point??

What is this? Is it a fear of success or failure?

I also feel that IF i do become a known actor, something I do or something will happen that will pull me down.. so then what do i do next?

Am I too obsessed with the future?

Idk why I'm just not able to give it my all to anything. I'm scared all the time.
Fear of failure and sounds like failure to success but you are not alone I have these same issues like you said with the lossing weight I keep telling my self that Iam going to start eating healthy and lose 50 pounds and its a fear In me saying what will people think about me If I do this and I know I need to change my eating habits and drink more water and when I go to the stores I dont buy water it be sodas and powerade .So Iam going to get help for it because no way In the world this is normall.Hugs wish you good luck
Thanks for this!
