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

Both. They kinda go hand in hand, don't they?

I think doing things right is doing the right thing.

I think doing things right because I'm always in fear of messing things up

I'm definitely about doing things right. I just find that when I don't do something right I get a huge backlash from those around me, but really I should stop allowing people to have that much control over me.

I think I care more about doing the right thing, even when I give my best at everything I do. But of course, we are humans and will have mistakes at everything we do; not to be pessimistic, quite the opposite, there is an infinite range of possibilities between doing something absolutely right/wrong, and we will never, ever, hit the extreme of either one, and when we make a mistake we learn, gain experience and eventually evolve towards the endless (but enjoyable) path to perfection (and hence, happiness).

I'm worried in both ways actually.. I'm terrified to know that I could be doing the wrong thing for myself by becoming a person I don't want to be by letting myself fall apart and living to what others expect of me. On the other hand I'm scared to be wrong because I lack the self validation if I don't get things right.

Both both both! Worried about doing things perfectly, trying to show everyone that I am amazing when really I'm falling apart, and worried about what the hell to do in terms of all the big decisions I have to make in my life.

Just worried.

Wouldn't doing things right be the right thing to do? I'm more likely to abide by my morals and values than what my job may say I should do. But that's what lets me sleep at night.

Doing things right. I'm always scared I'm going to mess up

Doing the right things.

I guess a little bit of both but my main worry is doing the right thing. I always fear doing the wrong thing and making someone upset.
