Any advice?
I feel really lost. I feel like someone who dreams of success, but doesn't do anything to actually get there. I am so paralysed by the fear of failure that I can't even start. I feel ugly, stupid, poor, never enough. Others tell me they are inspired by my goal oriented attitude, confidence, and beauty, and that never makes sense to me. I don't get how someone can see me in such a positive way. I feel like I am a narcissist, a psychopath, a manipulator. I feel like I will never be good at anything. How do I stop feeling this way? It's so draining. Some days, I can't even get out of bed or get myself to eat because of this feeling. I feel like a fraud.

be the change you want...
I have known many who were goal oriented and had big plans but were not moving just talking. fear of failure is real but I have always had a stronger fear or being found out as a fraud. Each step towards goal or even if goals change makes you feel better and real not just someone who talks a big plan.
be the change / take care of the details.....each big journey starts with little steps.

it's really unfortunate how our minds can be our own worst enemy... especially when the people around u can see obvious signs of ur potential. u need to be able to unleash it. sometimes as humans we tend to think so negatively about things that aren't true about ourselves. it's like when butterflies spread their beautiful wings and everyone else who sees it can admire how pretty they are.
it's doubtful thoughts like these that creates an obstacle for success. i heard a quote that sounds something like: "starting is 50% of success" and that resonated with me cuz of how true it is. u will never know if something will work out unless u try.
so what are u waiting for? prove to urself that u are capable of anything! ♥️
Have you heard of imposter syndrome? A lot of over-achievers have it. If you are getting a lot of compliments but feel you're somehow just tricking people into thinking those things and the 'real you' is actually bad... Then go look it up.
Just knowing it was a common thing made me feel a lot better, especially when I read a lot of very successful people, the types of people I admire, have it too. It tends to be women but some men might have it too.
It's strange you say you don't do anything to get to success but other people say they are impressed by your hard work?
