I know that I suffer from fear of success and failure when it comes to my creative endeavors. Fear of success is worse for me, I think, because somehow or other it puts me in a spotlight that I can't handle and can lead to depression, or even worse, giving up the project.
Failure is actually easier to accept for me because it reinforces all the old tapes.
Success means putting myself out on a limb and letting others see the most personal parts of me. I find it extremely difficult.
So, keep it up! I'm trying to, so knowing someone else is will give me courage!
