I Feel Like A Fraud...................?

Question

Lately I've been feeling down and unmotivated...

I'm not sure how to really express this feeling...but for the longest I just feel like I'm not smart enough to be in some of the classes I take even though I get high grades in them. Currently, I have all honors and an AP class yet I don't feel like I'm smart enough to be in them. I feel like a fraud that somehow managed to weasel herself into those high level courses and that sooner or later I will be found out for it. My parents, teachers, and friends says that I am smart but I don't feel/think I am...

Not only that, but I also feel like I'm setting myself up for failure. Everyone else around me seems to have a pretty good idea on what they want as a career while I'm still indecisive. I used to have a pretty good idea on some of the fields I wanted to be in (Graphic Arts (Photo Editing), Medical (Radiologist), or Computer Programmer) but now I'm starting to second guess myself. Editing wise, I can't really get far with it at the moment since I don't have Photoshop and is currently using Gimp so I can't really gauge how I feel about that. Radiology wise, my laziness starts to kick in when I realize that I have to study and know a lot of medical terms and human anatomy. My laziness also seems to kick in when it comes to computer programming because I know there's a lot of languages I need to learn. My time in high school is starting to run out and within the next few years I will hopefully be going to college. I just feel so inadequate...

Answer 1

Are you a "perfectionist" by any chance? Typically these are the people who have what it takes to be the most successful, but feel the most inadequate and screw it all up by being lazy because they know they can't be perfect at what they do -- so they rather do nothing. Their fear of not being perfect overwhelms them. Just remember, you will never be perfect 100% of the time, but the bright side is, is that no one else can be either! Everyone is afraid of failure/being inadequate, so your feelings are natural. Just don't let the fears ruin your chances at success.



You're young and it's okay to not know what you want to do either. I didn't really know what I wanted to do until I was 34, and that caused me to waste a lot of years, tears, and money on going to college for things until I finally figured it out.



It's truly a shame that college education is wasted mostly on the youth. I wasted so many years going to college for things I thought I wanted to "be", and within a couple of years, I ended up realizing "this field isn't one i want to be in" and switched from one field of study (and college) to another. So don't worry. Take your time figuring out what to do. It's better than rushing in and wasting all the expenses that go along with college (tuition, books, etc...). Just don't let your fears/anxieties be the things that hold you back, and you'll be fine.

Answer 2

Transgenders are the best way they're on account that they suppose they had been born the flawed gender, in order that they almost always suppose extra like a fraud with their born gender. Transgenders should not suppose like they are going in opposition to God on account that there's no god and it is their frame, their option.

Answer 3
