Fear of Judgement & failure
I’m always scared that people will judge me if I do this etc, and because of that I don’t even start I wanted to start writing on LinkedIn but I’m scared that people will judge me and make fun of me I’m also very scared of failing, I had a shortlist from almost all the companies but I didn’t even prepare for my interview because I thought I won’t be able to crack it, I regret it so much I think nhi hoga and I don’t even try Instead of being grateful I destroyed all my opportunities which other people didn’t have Did I take it for granted? I want to overcome this in 2024, please help me what do I do?

Nobody gives a shit on tum kya kar rahe ho nahi kar rahe ho. Jitna ye sab sochoge utna hi downfall hoga.
Shortlist ho rahe ho toh kuch toh baat hoga na. 50-60% toh shortlist hi nahi ho pa rahe.
People have 100s of other things to think about. Even if they are looking at you, they won’t pay attention more than 5 seconds to you. So no use thinking of what others are thinking about you! Do what you like, that will help you keep some sanity of mind in the long run
There will be people who will judge you. Let them - they don’t have the courage to do what you want to do. Those who genuinely care and are secure in themselves will either say nothing or will appreciate your posts.
There will be situations where you won’t get the job you want despite preparing for it. It’s okay. Accept the fact that you won’t get what you want every time. What matters is how you respond and how you give your 100% every time. Not getting a job is not a reflection of your skill set. Don’t take it personally.
I went through similar feelings few years ago. I did not get better overnight. It was constantly telling myself what I said above. You are responsible for your own growth - nobody else. Put in the work.
