Oh..my...god. this is exactly how i feel, like a 100% what im struggling with. I suspected it was because i was worried of failing - aka things not going the way exactly how i want - but ive started to change my mentality and focus on the task, the present, rather than worrying about the results.

If it makes you feel any better, I am afraid of the same thing. Maybe it's because my father instilled this desire in me succeed no matter what and anything less than making money and being successful is "failure." I am afraid of failing, thus I don't try.
