Fear of success
Sometimes I think the thing I dread most is actually finishing the damned thing, then having to haul it up in front of the class and the assembled panel, only to be told, "See! We knew you'd come up with something brilliant. That wasn't really so bad after all, was it?"
People often do that to metell me it came out so well, it couldn't have hurt as much as I claimed.
That's like telling a lady who's just been in labor for four days straight, with all sorts of bleeding and complications, that it couldn't really have been all that bad, since after all the baby isn't even too deformed. I don't know how to explain to these schmucks that denial of pain is not only unhelpful, it's insulting.
