Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?

Always worried about doing the right thing

Wow, good question. I'm prooobably more focused on doing things "right" (or whatever my brain thinks is right). I think I'm usually fine with doing the "wrong" thing if I do it the "right" way. Brains are strange.

Doing things right because no matter what your being judged and never now if your actually doing it correctly

Definitely, doing things right is a problem for me (perfectionist). Doing right things is not a problem - that's how I live (and it is also a source of energy, although when one is sick this source doesn't work :(

Idk what you mean, in my book, doing the right thing is doing things right.

That was wrong. I'm more worried about doing things right. I can't even do THIS right...

Don't be so hard on yourself! Sometimes it helps me to remember to speak to myself as I would to a good friend ❤ You deserve that kindness!

I'm allways worried about doing things right. Especially when I think about the path I'm taking in life

Honestly, I'm always worried about both. I want to do things right because I'm afraid of disappointing someone. Since I was in elementary school, I was always concerned about doing things right. I grew up watching my brothers get into all kinds of trouble. I'm almost 23 and I still live day to do by doing things right. I don't want to disappoint anyone or have anyone lose hope in me by screwing something up. I also worry about doing the right thing for the same reason: disappointment. Both of these go for work, college, home, decision making, everything in my life. I have always just wanted to make things easier for everyone and having them not worry about what I do, because I always make the right decision and do the right thing. And when I fail to do so, I beat myself up over it, emotionally and mentally. In conclusion, for me they are both high on the chart for which I worry about more and it's a constant anxiety/stressor for me.
