Whatever I do/create I destroy it. Right now this is happening with my playlists. And it’s absurd, because no one listens to them anyway but I keep having days when I feel like I should delete all of them. Then it’s my private notebook. Then it’s what I write, what I paint, movies I kept track of on an app, and the list goes on.

To be totally honest it’s as if I’m afraid I might be insane for keeping these things. Some contain personal things (playlists, notebook) so alright I might want to keep them private, but the real issue is that I do that when I think “oh what will they think?”. I don’t know what to do, it might sound very stupid but this has really been bothering me since forever.

    Sounds like you need to learn to enjoy the process instead of the end result. Even when something is unfinished, it isn’t useless because you either enjoyed making it or it was simply practicing a skill.

      This. I’m constantly tweaking things to make them more and more of what I desire. But also the comment about waiting and checking back after a period of time sounds pretty good.

      Worst case: find someone you can talk to about it.
