fear of being successfull

I currently own 4 businesses and plan on opening multiple more and think that my ocd has pushed me to be an entreprenuer but on the other hand the more success I have in business the more I feel guilty about being successfull. I know that it is a good thing to work towards your goals in life but I am constantly fighting with my self over this and I dont know why. Anybody else have fears of being successfull.

Yes. If i've ever been good at anything, i've quit, because i didn't want the public attention.

It leaves me feeling like i've missed out big time.

But theres no risk. No anxiety.

If only i wasn't so afraid of being "in the spotlight"

Im just always asking my self, why me? why was I able to do these things but so many people I know cant seem to get their lives together. And i know how I did it, I worked hard havent had a sip of alchol in 8 years quit smoking 9 years ago and work my a__ off while all my freinds go out to bars but I still feel guilty and I hate it, fortunatley for me even though I feel this way I still continue to open stuff.

People always think im crazy for all my ideas. As for people discouraging me that is and always has been a given and I dont really care about that but when my own mind is working against what i know is true it just drives me nuts I cant stand it!!! I have had ocd since about 20 I guess although I think ive had it longer and lately it has been getting worse probably due to more stress? I also just quit drinking diet coke and it seems to take the edge off a bit. Sometimes my brain will convince me that god will be mad at me for doing good!!! that is my main ocd and it is so stupid!!!
