Aight, personally I’m a workaholic 19 year old who has never been in any girl-friend type relationship whatsoever and virtually has no meaningful friends (just a TON of acquaintances). Otherwise, I’m basically devoted to my pre-med work.

My question is that why do I continuously get nervous whenever I have work to be done (getting a test back, about to take a test, about to give a presentation), yet I rarely ever do badly on them? I have taken tests for years, and I always get high marks, but every time I get work back I still feel as if I’m going to fail. Whats worse is that I vividly remember every bad grade I’ve ever gotten in the past 6 years. I feel this problem is hampering everything else thats wrong with me (avoidant personality, etc.), as I am constantly nervous about my work. As a result, I can’t afford to change myself as I fear focusing more on anything else will just make the problem worse.
