I also have a hard time with failure, so I feel as though I’m stuck between these two emotions eternally. I become sad and sometimes jealous when I see someone else achieving my goals. I feel as though one day everyone I know will be college graduates with the careers they wanted, and I will still be changing my career path every two weeks.

I know this story and I'm so afraid of this happening to me too. I scared that I'll end up not being able to do anything because I keep changing my mind and I can't stay focused on one thing for long.
At the 11th hour, I registered for courses this fall intending to take one. single. course. Just one. Because I know I won't be able to handle any more than that. It's kinda depressing for me in a way.
I try to stay focused on the positive because its amazing that I even registered.
