Worries of my upcoming project.
College worries
Hi guys,
I am a degree student in PR(public relation). As of last time in diploma, I was a very passive free rider mate. (Due to no courage to do things) , some how i manage to go into degree. As to being passive in my early years, I am struggling comparing to others as I did not participate and Learb much during my early years.
Now I having this worries of upcoming assignment, create big event. Which in diploma we did, but mostly I did nothing and fail. Now I having this trauma of being useless again in this event due to previous failure.
Now I changed. I am more willing to learn and be active, but still worry as I won't contribute to the event and get labeled as free loader. Note that this is a new semester classmates and different from previous
My fear of being useless due to my previous failure, to add the others are more experienced. I am afraid the same thing will happen.
Thanks for listening, and I am not a person who express myself well. So please ask me question to verify the situation if missing.
My question is, what is the advice to conquer this fear? Thank you
Section 2: Updates
Now i receive the briefing for the project, an event planning. It is a huge one. We are having partnership with Media Prima, a big broadcasting industry. There will be celebrity coming as part of our idea pitch. Whats more, this event is participated by a lot of different PR classes.
This is when my worries get even bigger, I am worry that i am unable to deal with how big this event is. I think of the bad things, like might dissapoint the Media Prima, My weakness in PR course will be shown to my friends and they might start to dislike me- The whole PR not just my class.
Basically my worries is on my inablility to handle the event, and that it will affect my future. I feel so left back compare to others. Sorry long post, mind giving some advice?
Hello, so sorry to hear you are going through all of this worry at the moment, it's not something anyone should have to go through.
I'm not sure how much help this will be, but there is a work stress/college life self help guide on the 7 cups site and you might want to check it out if you haven't seen it?
Sorry that I personally cannot be of much help wih your situation at the moment, but I wish you all the best with everything. Take care
@Debseekadvice Hi Deb, I am sorry to hear about your situation, If I were in your situation I will be stressful and frustrated too. To answer your question, for me the best way to relief myself from the fear of mistake is to accept that I will make mistake and that is unavoidable. In fact it is okayto make a mistake, it is a process to growth and to become better from what you are now.. I hope that this helps you somehow and also like Skyash already said you can always go to self help guides in 7 cups, there is many usefull tips there for you to overcome this fear... (Sorry for my English XD)
@Debseekadvice I'm sorry you're going through this tough and frusterating time. It would hinder all of us. It's scary to fail. It's scary to fail, get back up and fail again. But that's how we learn and grow, we have to fail(: How I get over my fear of failure is just by looking at both sides of the coin. What if I succeed. You have to get into the mindset of wanting to succeed(: I remind myself that it's okay to fail and I always try to learn something from the mistakes I made that led up to my failure.
I wish you luck and success(:
@Debseekadvice Hi! I hope everything went well with the project! Be brave! Do you know that bravery isn't knowing something is scary and doing it anyway; its being scared and conquering your fear! You can do this! You can be outgoing and participate it will just take some extra work. You got this!
