Members don't see this ad.

...I just nailed an interview very recently. And I think I may be getting an acceptance letter in the mail soon.

However, for SOME reason, I'm almost 'scared' to get accepted

Can anybody explain this?

Did anybody feel the same way?

What do I do?



Some people are afraid of rejection. I'm afraid of success.

Hello,

It is common for people to be nervous when they are about to embark to such a major life decision. However, if you wondered if you have made the right choice regarding your career, then you really need to re-evaluate your goal. Dental school not only put a financial strain on you but aslo requires such a sacrifice in your life (4 years of hard work) so make sure that it is for you. I am very happy with the decision I make.

Afraid of success? Never heard of such a fear. I however am afraid of heights and claustrophobic. The human brain is a wonderful thing! 😱

i hope things work out for the best - for ALL of us

you know, life is a journey - i just have to take it one step at a time


there will be obstacles - but i MUST overcome these

that's what it's all about


for those allready accepted - I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK 🙂




i wait, for my life to unfold in this time of uncertainty,

i feel like the next few months could determine the path i take in life




i'm at the crossroads - it's scary




i guess that's what this thread is about

we ALL have one thing in common - the path of Dentistry




but as broad as the profession IS, so is the span on each individual who sets on this journey - a JOURNEY of finding oneself





well, i leave this post, with five words



GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL 🙂

I'm afraid of winning the lottery. I just bought a ticket and am pretty sure I'm going to win. But if I win, I'm not really sure I want the money.

Does anyone feel the same way, or am I just crazy?

It is usually failure that makes a person feel alive, not success. A lot of drug addicts and compulsive gamblers get the greatest high when they know that they are down and out, losing, on the edge of breaking, faulted, a lemon! It is a brutal fact that some of us unconsciously want to fail...i get the same feeling sometimes about things. B/C, once you get the acceptence letter it is back to the old blaw you are used to.

that's unfortunate. sounds like it's the third stage towards commiting suicide. how do you manage to get yourself up every morning? 🙁
