I just sent my application to university. Its been something ive been thinking of and having anxiety over for the last few months. Ive been terrified of making the wrong decision, ive kind of known all the time what i want to do but at the same time ive wanted to please my parents. I chose the option that i thought fel better, and I thoguht i would be relieved now that the choice was made. But now im having a breakdown over decision, not really regret but im very sad about something. Im terrified that my parents are now disappointed, even though they say their arent. I dont believe them for some reason. Is the fact that im having a breakdown over my decision a sign that i've made the wrong decision? I dont know whats happenign. I dont wanna make the weong decision, and i want my parents to be happy about the decision ive made. I thoguht i chose the right option for me, why do i feel bad now? Please help

Maybe you feel like this because you're afraid you'll disappoint your parents rather than worrying about yourself? But hey you should think about yourself too and what you really want to do. Don't feel pressured because you don't want to disappoint your parents. I know what that feels like. Sometimes I'm afraid I'll disappoint my parents too. The guilt that I'm doing something wrong with my life sometimes overwhelms me you know? But I try not to think about it too much. I would do my best in my own way to be happy and to make choices that I feel are right. Don't try to be a people pleaser. I know it's hard especially when it comes to not disappointing parents. But as long as you do your best and you feel that what YOU do is right for yourself, the you shall have no shame or regret for what you've done. They should feel proud of you for what you feel is right for yourself. Take some time to yourself. Don't worry it's gonna be ok. I'm sure. Don't feel bad but just do what you feel is right for yourself. If you end up doing something that pleases your parents or other people just to make them feel good, that might not be a good thing. It's important to consider your feelings about your choices as well. I have hope for you and do not give up! I hope this helped you some bit at least :)
ReplyYour parents can't live their lives through YOU. Do what YOU want to do. They'll be dead at some point in the future and you would be on the wrong path for you if you only live to please them..
ReplyIt's your life not your parents life. You should go after what you want and not feel bad. Make them happy if possible but go after your dreams. Take it easy it will be ok.
Replythe wrong decision is always the one that pleases others and not yourself.
the right decision is always the one that makes YOU happy, regardless of what other people think.
i'm sorry but if your parents can't support you after you've worked so hard, you deserve better people in your life. it's okay to stress out about what your parents think, it doesn't mean you messed up. as long as it feels right to you, your decision is always the one you should stand by.
ReplyMake the decision for yourself, and accept the responsibilities and consequences that come with it.
Parents are there to guide and support you.
At the end of the day... we are the sum of all the choices that we make.
Live well.
