I excelled in academics when I was a student. I am good in everything my mind is concerned. I'm pretty much interested with quantum physics, astronomy, electronics and mathematics. I also want to invent things. If I think I can do something, my mind is saying that I will absolutely can do that. But the thing is, whenever I start something or plan to start something... it makes me go anxious. It feels like I'm afraid because my personality might change if I'm going to focus on one thing. I'm a cheerful person for my friends though serious at some times, but that's quite often to see. Is it normal to feel this way? I mean.. it's fear. And it's stopping me to do what I think I should be doing..

An internet forum really isn't a good place to get help with such issues. I suggest you seek professional help in digging into the root causes of your behavior.

Agree with phinds, you need professional help, I'd go to psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse, even better, they can prescribe you meds that can help you at a fraction of the cost of a psychiatrist.
