Now I understand. My real fear is to succeed. The thought came to me today that since we've started classes I've got each time an A-grade in math quizzes but still, I'm afraid of not doing well next time. I'm afraid of not doing well each time before the quiz and after the quiz.

I think that's it. I'm afraid of succeeding. I've told you about my english teacher discouraging me in an ealier post; she gave me a really good grade for my early versions of my essay. But still, I think I can't do it.

What's wrong with me? What's with all those bad thoughts?
I work very hard everyday. I shall feel confident, but I'm not.
It's not the first time it's happening in my life. But there was a period [last 2 years of high school] were I felt the most confident man in the world! Was it because of friends? [here I don't really have friends, just roommates]...

I need your opinion and your suggestions.
