Yeah, it's something like that. Also it's mingled in there with not wanting to be dominated/told what to do, and feeling like I won't be able to do it -- or do it perfectly (up to some phantom standard).
I think you've really nailed it on the head with "nothing as meaningful or enjoyable will come up again," though. That gets to the heart of what I'm talking about. I'm not sure where that comes from, but I'd like to deal with it. At work, I think it comes along with a fear of "well if I finish this and I don't know what's next, will I be gotten rid of?"
Any thoughts?
