I know to a certain degree is natural to feel nervous about doing something new, like gaining a promotion. Still, this used to wreck me really bad. I used to feel like I was not as good as they thought and I was going to mess up and then they would all be angry or disappointed in me. That kind of thought would be circling in my head and shooting my anxiety really badly to the point of inadvertently taking actions that would sabotage myself and ultimately fulfilling my own prophecy.
To be honest, I used to avoid accepting new responsibilities if I could help it. People would nudge online and I would decline invitations to be an administrator, help with web pages and basically anything outside my zone of comfort. When I got unemployed, applying for a job, even if I thought it was something I liked it was though. Just reading the requirements and responsibilities, my brain was already trying to cling in any excuse to say it was too hard and even if I got hired I'd just flunk it in not time.
I feel I can cope better now and I have tried to throw myself in if an opportunity comes but it is an uphill battle where all my instinct still wants me to run back and take refuge inside the cave. Haha.
I recently got new responsibilities on two different webs and I am covering for a co-worker in a job I have just barely finished my probation period. Part of me is like "no idiot, what are you doing?" and I am trying to just take it one day at the time. Anyway, I ranted enough.
how are you guys accepting new responsibility? Does it comes easy or do you try to avoid it?
What about promotions? Do you deal well with them?
