New here-feeling it or missing out?

Hey everyone,

I'm 25 with a solid job, adorable pets, and awesome friends who always have my back. People say I'm great at gymnastics, though growing up, I never quite believed it.

Anyway, perfectionism is like this constant shadow hanging over me-no idea when or why it started,but here we are. Everything feels like a letdown: learning new skills, finishing projects at work-even casual chats make me anxious that someone will misunderstand and get hurt.

So yeah, I'm constantly re-reading texts just to double-check they're perfectly clear. It's a never-ending cycle of doubt. You ever feel this way? If so, how do you manage to love yourself? Because honestly, if I could figure out how to be more self-loving, most of my problems would fade away.

Thanks for any advice or stories you might share!
