What is nonsense is that you are working for a single contest , have a long a vision that will calm you and it will allow to pass well that contest too

You should see Codeforces as an opportunity to gain experience on dealing with evaluation/competition anxiety. There are many other places where the consequences of failing are real (e.g university exams and job interviews). Here, the worst thing that can happen to you is to get your rating decreased while learning something new.

Be confident and Go for number 1 even if tourist is participating : ) There were many people better than me in many contests but i still did better than a lot of them, do your best even if you failed maybe it was your destiny to fail.

You will fail.

There, I said it.

Now do yourself a favor, and fail. It is better than not trying. Fail. Fail again, and again and again.
