Fear of failure

On Saturday it was Marius’ father’s birthday. Every year they have a big party for it, and lots of people stay at their house. I think I was a little less shy than last time, but still pretty awkward. Yuki spent the entire evening playing with a little girl, it was cute. He had a sock and she would run after him,  when he was with someone else she would yell “yuuuuuuki” in a sing-song voice until he returned. xD The photo above is the view from the kitchen.

I really need to start being more productive, but I am so incredibly.. pessimistic about my abilities at everything, also I have really high standards for myself. I feel like I will fail at everything I do.. Whenever I think about doing work, I think to myself “why bother? I won’t be able to do it well enough.. I’ll probably fail..”
There are some things which I choose to do anyways, like taking photos. That’s actually a horrible example though, as I take photos every day and delete about 95% of them because they are so awful..

I am also terrified of failure, so I put off doing things so I can keep the “possibility” of not failing.

This really applies to everything I do at the moment. Even dyeing my hair. I really want to lighten it, but I think to myself “why bother, I look so ugly at the moment.. my hair is so dry… maybe wait a while”. I don’t wear clothes I like for the same reason.

I haven’t drawn anything in months.. Last time I did it depressed me too much.

It sounds pretty crazy when I think about it. It’s fairly obvious it’s just a fear of failure though, will have to try and resolve it somehow.

So sick of the snow here.

I am thinking about where I would like to live, ideally, but I am really not sure. Far into the future I’d like to live in the US, but I am thinking about the next couple of years. Marius would like to go back to England, but I am really unsure. The economy is really bad – rent prices are ridiculous, it’s not very dog-friendly (would be extremely difficult to find an apartment, not many places to walk him, can’t bring him with me everywhere like in Bamberg), also horrible weather and overcrowded. O____O
I do miss some things though, like going to London. Bamberg feels dead to me, too quiet and old-fashioned. :\ But I think it’s less stressful to live here.

Also whilst I miss some things in England, I realise that I was completely miserable there (miserable being a huge understatement)
I am terrible at making decisions….

Video games I played in Januaryy

I hardly wrote anything on here last month. o.o Probably because I’ve been playing games a lot.

Anyways, here are some of the games I played in January:

Bioshock (completed)
WET (completed)
Bayonetta (completed)
Gears of War 2 co-op :O (completed)
Prince of Persia (completed)
Resident Evil 5 co-op (almost completed.. the end boss fight is so frustrating and ridiculous.. I hate button-bashing :\)

The best was of course Bioshock, I am really looking forward to the next one *__*
The worst was WET.. soo repetitive. O__o and the storyline/characters were stupid -.-

One week until Bioshock 2 is out! :)
