Does anyone have any advice for someone who is afraid of making mistakes? I have been a perfectionist for most (all) of my life. It is something I am working on changing. This summer I suffered a set-back in my Master's work that forced me to go non-thesis. I am still dealing with my own disappointment in myself. The set-back was related to me being unable to deal with the stress associated with the field work I was doing and having to make quick-decisions. I went into a deep depression / anxiety and am still recovering. I'm so indecisive with making decisions! I fear making the wrong decision and then having to face the consequences (I tend to be a people pleaser which is not good either). Any advice from other's experiences is greatly appreciated. I really want to work on changing my thoughts. Thanks.
