Has anyone ever felt this way

[cookderosa]

I'm prepping for college and I'm scared out of my mind! I know I'm growing up and transitioning ( educationally , emotionally and physically) but I feel like sometimes I'm losing rather than gaining and other days I'm gaining and gaining. My friend said I'm acting like a hormonal "b" and to get over it. Am I acting like one or has anyone ever felt this way?

You didn't say your age, but I'd say fear of the unknown is normal.

Also, if I can be bold, don't ask as many people for feedback. Every time you ask for feedback you're acting insecure. You asked at least one friend, and now you asked us- take time to quietly reflect on these big questions and make your decisions about most things.

Seek the counsel of wise people when the stakes are high. Example- having a mechanic check out a used car before you buy it would be smart, not insecure... but getting a second opinion on the color of the car reinforces you telling yourself that you need help making even the smallest decisions. And you probably don't!

But in all, let me assure you that making mistakes is good!!! You should make more of them. Seek out opportunities to try things without getting feedback. Allow yourself to slip and fall and get up. It will make you a very capable adult.
