Too Self-Conscious While Writing.

I can feel far too self-conscious while writing. And sometimes it causes me to not write at all. I'm afraid people are going to judge my writing. Maybe it's not that good or maybe it's weird. What if somebody reads it and judges me for it? What if I write it, post it, and then regret posting it? What if it's full of mistakes and doesn't make any sense? Maybe there's a continuity problem or the characters won't be fleshed out enough. Maybe the humor won't be quite as spot on as I would like. Maybe my stories are too dark, too depressing.

I wish that I wasn't full of these concerns. But I am. I'm trying to work past it. I'm trying not to worry what other people will think and to just focus on how I feel about my own writing. It's not working great, but maybe one day I will be able to write without feeling so self-conscious. It's just weird because I didn't feel like this before. I used to write and write and I didn't really care all that much if it ended up perfect. But it's like now that I'm older I have more expectations for myself and my writing. I've ended up holding myself back because of it.

Does anybody have the same problem and feel the same way?
