Hi Dr. Morgan Levy, thank you for hosting this AMA!
I have a lot of pursuits that I've been putting off because I don't feel confident enough to proceed with them. This has compounded into something that even affects my work ethic in the things that I'm obligated to do for academic purposes. I'm constantly avoiding doing things, even if they're important to me and because I've avoided them, they feel tainted when these pursuits logically should be exciting to me, but have instead become associated with feelings of guilt and avoidance. I still want to do these pursuits, but I feel paralyzed every time at the thought of doing them and instead resort to trying not to think about them at all. What are your thoughts on this? If possible, do you have any advice on where to go from here?
