What do you think stops you from succeeding?

Is it fear of something or is it simply the pressures of multiple problems which you feel as if need to be addressed first?

I think for me, my depression and irrational thinking stops me from succeeding at a higher standard.
 
right now, im struggling with my central identity... who am i? and also struggling with accepting this person (me.)

self esteem issues, and some anxiety are holding me back right now. im on the road, but im a late bloomer i guess, and i realize how far i have to go.
 
For me it's a pretty deep seated insecurity that i don't actually deserve to succeed. If i got some self esteem or was aware of my self worth then i would probably stop doing all of these little self destructive things i do to myself constantly and make something of my life. But until then.... I think it's time for me to go back to see my psychologist!
 
Nothing... anymore

In the past I could never see the long term pay offs of doing things the long and hard way, and until I saw those rewards I never thought it was worth it. Now i don't see any reason why anything should and will ever stop me from succeeding.
 
hahaha

My inability to apply myself wholeheartedly to anything.

My acceptance of having resigned myself to a life less lived.
 
My fear of failure, whereas most people experience a setback.. accept it and keep trying. I see any setback, even minor as failure, and i give up. I spend my life avoiding anything which has a chance of failure.. which is pretty much everything.
 
I feel like my social anxiety has made me miss out on many things that would have put me on a path of sucess. Not having the courage to step foreward and make things happen. I just go with the flow and it has gotten me nowhere. Topped with drug use, it makes me stay trapped in my mind and doesnt allow me to express my feelings very well, I have always had the problem of brain farting when someone is asking me something and not having an answer.
I have always been shy but I thought drugs would open me up, not the case at all.
