    I have the same feelings. I hate it when I let people down but I can't help it. Too many expectations and too high. But I guess if you tried your best it's fine then.

    I'm the same way. It makes me uncomfortable when people have high expectations of me, but if you want to achieve things, you have to try to do your best. That's all we can ever do really. There's always a risk that this isn't good enough, of course. Look at top achievers in any field. I don't think there's anyone who has an unblemished record of successes only, at least not in the long term. So keep putting yourself forward, and if you get knocked down, pick yourself up and try again.
