I know most people write in about their relationships... this is not relationship related. I have been working on a enormous independent project for almost 3 years and I don't know how to end it. I feel like my life is in this project. Perhaps part of this problem is relationship related since I have let the opinion of one of my peers scare me into thinking that my work is not good enough. He is a man that I met almost the same time I started the project. He was attracted to me and I to him but nothing ever resulted from it because of many different variable but need I say it, one of them I believe was that he didn't take me seriously.I had feelings for this man and maybe I still do. I think part of my obsession with this project is that I feel that I am trying to prove my worth to other people and especially this man.I don't know what to do. My insecurity has become disabilitating.Any advice? Reply to this Question

 Okay so you really like this man and this project has really got you caught up.You really need to sit back and just take it easy.Of course continue with this project that you've been working on but don't stress yourself out about it.If this man really is attracted to you as you say, and you to him, then make him take you seriously.You are definitely worth a lot to everyone around you, and you shouldn't let what other people say get the best of you.I am sure that your work is wonderful and that you will achieve greatly but you ave to believe in yourself too.That is a HUGE factor in this too.It kind of sounds like you're putting yourself down by not thinking that your worth it.&& also whether their your close friends,brother,sister,mother, whatever you just have to listen to yourself about some things and the more you listen to your peers,the more you may result in being stressed and it could eventually lead to worse things.Just remember to always keep your confidence up because that will relieve some of your stress that you have trapped inside of you.
i really hope this helps you!!
