Do you ever doubt yourself?
Your decisions? Your abilities? Everything??
Somedays I doubt myself as a blogger….as a girlfriend…as a daughter…as a friend….
Am I doing a good job?
Do people like me?
Is he happy?
Are they proud?
Why do we doubt ourselves so much?
I suppose its human nature to doubt oneself and I have always really hated that about myself. The sheer weight that doubt can have on you. How much it can drag you down, make you sad, make you worry, wonder and cry.
I really try to pull myself out of it. We all know the signs when the doubts take over, we aren’t smiling, everything seems to be SUCH A BIG DEAL
In the grand scheme of things though….it’s not.
I have a warm bed to sleep in, more than enough clothes, shoes, etc, I have an amazing family, great friends, and a boyfriend who makes me smile everyday.
I am lucky and I shouldn’t have doubts…
But I’m only human…

Do you ever let the doubts take over?
Also are you following me on twitter? instagram? facebook? pinterest?
You should 🙂
Also now you can “stalk me” on Currently Obsessed where I list the things I’m OBSESSED with …its super fun! Come play!
I’m constantly plagued by doubt. I have a great support system which helps me pull through though. They’re always there to remind me how strong I am and how much they appreciate me!
I think doubts are part of being human, and as with most things there’s both a positive and a negative side. Doubts keep us honest and open sometimes, but the trick is to not let them take over. At least, that’s what I try to do! 😉
They always say that you’re never given more than you can handle but I’m telling you, I’ve gotten way more than my share, and since it hasn’t turned itself around in awhile, I’m starting to doubt even more. I have a support system but when they give me problems, then you doubt even more. Its just life I guess!
Doubt happens because the world has expectations that are absolutely too big to fill. Seriously don’t try. If you do something wrong apologize and move on. I have read your blog, unless you have a deep down psycho hiding hot men in your cellar thing going on I haven’t read about I am sure you are doing fine! But at the same time maybe I wouldn’t blame ya for the cellar thing 🙂
I am always questioning and doubting myself – did I do a good job, etc? But like you said, I think it’s part of human nature and for me, a hard part of being a Type A personality with a perfectionist mentality. But it’s a struggle and something I’m always working on. 🙂
This is totally me! I think we all doubt ourselves at some point or another. I just try to do my best, be positive, be polite and live each day as they come.
I totally have doubts…lots of them. And usually I have a doubting pity party when PMS-ing LOL!
But for me, the key is that I try to be the best I can be every day, and if I didn’t do so well, tomorrow is a fresh start.
This is something I have personally struggled with MY ENTIRE life…and it is SUCH a burden 🙁 My husband always tells me, if you are busy worrying about what others think and if they are happy with you, you arent making anyone happy. SO….do what you love…be passionate and the rest will fall into place lovely Neely!

what a great post, and i love the quotes 🙂
Some times I get consumed by doubts but mostly I am able to look at myself pretty objectively.
i got a doubt thing going on right now….
although mine is more like
I doubt i can make dinner tonight
i doubt i can clean the floors today
i doubt i can clean all the bathrooms
i doubt i put deodorant on..i smell something….
If I didn’t doubt myself so much, maybe I’d already have a book published. Kind of sad to think about…
I always question myself, too. And I’ve decided to do a huge blog re-vamp to be truer to myself. I have been doubting why I’m REALLY blogging, and it’s started to take a toll!
xox, lady! Have a GREAT Monday!
It’s hard not to question yourself sometimes, but it definitely would be nice to be more confident! Doubt really sucks.
I struggle with this every single day. I pray. I vent. I cry. But nothing ever seems to help. If you find a solution, please clue me in.
I let doubts take over so badly throughout my entire life to the point where I constantly changed my user name and blog names. I have just recently stopped doubting myself and starting loving myself being confident in my writings and my self as a whole.
Self doubt happens to everyone…still, it stinks! I think it’s natural because we hold ourselves to certain expectations. Just keep smiling and it all works out!! 🙂
*Also, thanks for the birthday wish on facebook!
I spent years of my life letting self-doubt consume me… YEARS! It’s still a struggle at times to be able to say, “I am awesome and I rock this shit!” but it’s definitely been getting easier.
Story of my life! I’m hoping self doubt goes away with either age or accomplishment!
I totally agree with this post and it’s RIGHT on point with timing right now for me. I have an “opportunity” in the wings and I keep weighing pros and cons and trying to decide what to do and what would be best for me. *sigh* You can always tell when I’m mulling something over b/c I don’t blog as much. I mean, sometimes I get super busy so there’s that, but if I don’t even do my weekend recap, it’s usually b/c I’m deep in self thought..haha..
I was just working on a post about this today! Thanks, I needed this!
It’s hard to be comfortable in our lives and not try to please everyone around us! Much love girly.
