Fobi mot Arroganse

[Haru]

Jeg skrev dette på et engelsk forum, men jeg vil dele det med dere også med tanke på at jeg ikke får så mange responser på det andre.

Jeg orker ikke skrive alt om på Norsk, så derfor limer jeg det inn her

Btw, så tror jeg dette kvalifiseres som Psykologi, dermed kvalifiseres for å postes her på Helse.

I have this fear of becoming a cocky or arrogant person.
This fear usually comes everyday in the shape of intrusive thoughts such as "dont be cocky don't be cocky" and this results in for instance, me using different words in a respond to a question while I woud have actually given a more confident and strong answer.

The answers I REALLY woud have given are not cocky and bad, and I know that, but since they are more strong and less shy I'm afraid of giving them because I'm not sure if the strength in the words, correspond to the strength inside me.
As I said, this phobia isn't just about responses, I just took it as an example.

It can also make me talk less highly about myself, refuse to give myself credit in a humble way, and it can give me a preference for considering myself less worthy then others. Its like hypocondria, because I DO KNOW these bad taughts are not correct, but still it doesn't help. And no, I'm not suicidal XD

Like all humans, I do occasionally get cocky. But still it makes me ask you all: is it normal for non-cocky humans to sometimes get?

In the end I feel like I shoud tell you that this isn't a severe problem, its not like I need a shrink or treatment. It doesn't plague me or reduce my life-quality. I think this is more of a dark coming-of-age thing, Its just very irritating once I ALLOW to think about it. And I don't know if I NEED to think about it to SHIELD myself from becoming cocky!?

Please, proper read the text, and do not ignore ANY of the questions. I woud more value responds from older wiser people.
