Heart to Heart with Malvika

Published On: April 25, 2017 11:00 PM NPT By: Republica

I am a 20- year- old girl and have been in a relationship with a guy for 3 years now. He is a great guy and I love him and so does he. However, he is very ambitious and goal-oriented and I have pretty average ambitions compared to his, which is not a problem as that is one of the things I like about him, but sometimes I feel like I am not enough for him. Maybe it’s his way of motivating me and it does help at times but sometimes “why can’t you do that? / you should have done that” doesn’t really help a lot when you are feeling down and want to hear “it’s okay”. Everyone loves a hard-working and ambitious person and he is not different. I know he loves me but I feel like if he sees me failing/procrastinating/slacking off at times he might fall out of love. I fear to do things in front of him because I have a fear of failure and not being enough for him and he prefers a girl with an opposite attitude towards life just like everyone else. When I try to talk to him about this, it just doesn’t go through him. He is more of like “find a way to win” or “if you fall, don’t cry just stand up and run”. It’s hard to make him understand that people”cry” too. Most of the times he is right logically so I cannot say a lot to him but it’s mentally and emotionally tiring to always be the best of you. We love each other and are doing great so I don’t want to ruin this relationship by over thinking but I just feel like he’ll find me weak and won’t like me anymore. And also I feel like if I become like him, it won’t be the real me; instead, I’ll just be his substitute. Help me from over-thinking. What should I do?
