I struggle getting things done. I have spend years researching how to be motivated or disciplined. I always thought that something was wrong with me for not completed my task. I also take wellbutrin which increase motivation. Wellbutrin helps a little with motivation and productivity but I still cannot thing completed anything I set my goals to and still procrastinate. After self reflecting, I realize it is not that I was born different or not motivated, it is because I am hugely afraid of pain/discomfort. If I sense a micro dose of discomfort, my natural urge is to run away and hide. I tried to power through my discomfort but on the third day, I felt a wall of resistance. I need advice. Do I reframe my thoughts, keep a journal and rate my discomfort before and after, or visualize my pain and discomfort in a relax state to desensitize it?

I am highly sensitive and mean comments bother me alot. At work, there was an issue where the customer's name was not in the computer system. I trying my best to help her. I heard her husband said," I have never met a dumber man in my life". He was clearly talking about me because I was the only man in the room. My supervisor heard the comment to so she took over. When that guy said that, my face got red and got bothered by the comment. Then it was a dinner break. The past hour, my face was red and was ruminating over and over; I try many ways to calm down like, practicing self compassion and trying to cognitive re framing.

I am asking this is because I feel that therapists are generally sensitive people and have to deal with mean or nasty comments.
