I took off this summer from college to finally get my driver's license after practicing and quitting half a dozen times for more then ten years. Parallel parking is my only hurdle, for I can drive a car safely, but as I am getting closer to taking the test I'm feeling self-sabotage coming in. It would be easier, no, comforting if I just didn't have the know-how to accomplish this, then I could say, "well heck I tried and it just couldn't be done". The anxiety I feel is about acquiring the skills to drive and get a license because I will feel like I'm on thin ice because success is so unfamiliar to me. If I get it, I will wonder who I am and what challenge comes next that make me feel unprepared for. I'm just feeling unsure of myself and my ability and the idea of driving alone is kind of scary. Am I crazy for not wanting success to happen? I just always have this nagging feeling that I'm not measuring up, need to do more, push myself harder to accomplish, but that usually makes me fail. What's going wrong with me?
