My entire life, I have always feared making mistakes. I was always afraid of what I did, what I said, how I said it, and other things were viewed in society. For me, I was always a perfectionist and in some ways I still am. I struggle with making mistakes but I have learned it is better to make a mistake than live your life on the edge always afraid of taking chances and learning from them.
I have made more than one mistake in my life and because of Depression and Anxiety, I tend to analyze each mistake that I make. Because of my Anxiety, I will replay the mistake over and over in my head and feel embarrassed, ashamed and guilty. It would replay over and over in my head and it made me feel like crap and completely worthless. It was up until my freshman year in college that I learned that making mistakes was all apart of the process and that I was not living my life as I should be.
We're all human and we all make mistakes. There is nothing wrong with that, we do stupid things, say hurtful things, or act in such a way that it makes someone upset or angry. But at the end of the day, those mistakes don't matter. It's better to admit your mistakes than completely shrug them off as if they weren't your fault and you weren't responsible for them. That makes you irresponsible, immature, and as someone who can't see that they have faults. We all have flaws, no one is perfect and I've learned that it is better to make mistakes than not taking chances at all. That's not living your life to the fullest. You have to make mistakes to grow as a person emotionally, psychically, and mentally. It's a part of life and it's something that I have struggled with for a long time and so do many people. I'm not perfect and neither are you, it's better to accept your imperfections than make excuses for them.
