Why I can't Sleep at Night...

I don't do a very good job of completely trusting God.
I'm deathly afraid of failing and scared to ask questions which is a horrible combination.
When someone approaches me and makes a suggestion, often times I buck up or shut down, and then I run. It's all in how they talk to me. If they sound like I'm failing and blame me in their tone, I immediately get upset...to the point now where I may just start crying on the spot. It's only later I realize they were just trying to help me.
    Here's what I'm learning: Approach people who need help with kindness and gentleness of spirit. Otherwise you will crush their world and make themselves think they can't do anything right.
But for the love of all that is good in this world, please share your advice. People want to hear it, especially kids, teens, and those 20 somethings out there. We want to learn from your wisdom. But wisdom sure doesn't sound like good advice if you turn us into some twisted scape goat that you blame your problems on.
