1. Career-I want to be a psychologist but law seems like the safer option. 2. Sexuality-I'm bisexual but I haven't acted on it yet! 3. Self-sabotage-the minute things go well for me, I mess them up because I don't think I deserve good things/didn't work hard enough but mostly "what if I lose all this?" and "how can I keep this up?"
I hate myself for being so "different" than other people
3. Ignore those feelings inside and do what you think is the right thing. By the way, the "right" thing is usually the one which involves the most amount of work.
Career - always follow your heart and interests. When you have more interest in something, you are more inclined to work at it, study more, and have more fun while doing it. If you have no interest in law, it will be a chore to study etc. You will never regret following your heart and gut, plus there are plenty of jobs in psychology (and the career path is just as long as law, so no loss there).
Sexuality - Bi-sexual or bi-curious? The more experience in life, the more you understand about yourself and what you want and don't want. You can be attracted to the same sex without being bi-sexual as well. Try everything, and then follow what feels right to you.
Self-sabotage - Experience will fix this over time. The more times you are in these situations, the more confident/experienced you will be when you face them or something similar next time. Embrace being scared/nervous - its a good feeling - and something you will learn from when it's all over.
Never hate yourself. You are who you are. Everybody is different, but most keep it to themselves on the inside.
I've kept a lot of my interests dormant for so long that I feel disillusioned.On a whole other level, I've lost trust in people so its extremely important to me to get control back in my life so I at least have that security. Thanks for your advice its very good. - 18 days ago
You're not all that "different" from other people.
1. It depends on what area of psychology you want to get into, some are in higher demand than others, so law isn't necessarily the safer option. If you wanted to be a school or organizational psychologist, you would probably do well.
2. What's holding you back?
3. I'm the same way. Sometimes, you just have to ignore yourself and enjoy the moment. It's not always easy, but you know that you're wrong, it wouldn't be self-sabotage otherwise. Every time you start to question yourself, try to remember how that's hurt you before to try to keep it from happening again.

Answerer
Your goals in psychology are realistic though, there's never a shortage of people who need counseling. I wouldn't want to do organizational psychology either haha, but it is more common for corporations to have psychologists these days.
People don't have to know about your sexuality right now. You owe it to yourself to see how things go. If that leads to something, you can tell people, otherwise, it's your business. - 18 days ago
