How do you help yourself honestly?

No matter how much I try to avoid myself from doing any tasks like working on my life such as focusing on college, learning must learn skills like driving, socializing, networking then just you know work on completing your tasks. I'm just avoiding avoiding and avoiding on purpose by being on the phone or doing random things. I thought eh I'll just ignore it but honestly that feeling of guilt and shame doesn't go away. Even doing irrelevant things for wasting time feels tiring and boring because it's repetitive habit then you also feel frustrated and overwhelmed doing the actual tasks. Idk really how beat this problem. I'm not sure if it's my anxiety or things I don't wanna hear or do. Like I'm not living life. I just want the easy stuff like I'm not even mentally physically tough. I'm hiding in a shell watching life but not experiencing. I keep lying to myself and others but how long. I'm tired of myself from myself.

Could it be anxiety and burnout? Are you burning out? Maybe your body is trying to tell you something.

Do you give yourself time to rest, relax, recover? Just because you are not productive does not mean you're a bad person.

Do you compare yourself to others? Dont. Comparison will drag you down.

Are your to-do lists what you think you should do versus what you want to do? Even if it's required and not a choice, what helps me is thinking why I want to do it and good things that'll happen.

For example, filing and organizing my paperwork. It's tedious. But I think about how much better I'd feel once my desk is tidy and how easy it'll be for me to find what I'm looking for. Small shifts in thinking make a difference.

Is your task list too much?

Are you anxious how things would turn out and afraid of mistakes? That is why I sometimes procrastinate. I'm trying a new technique of just day dreaming how that project will turn out. That gets me started. Remember: a less perfect project is better than none. And if it doesn't turn out how I want, I can always fix it.
