Help me get over my fear of taking profits

Basically I like to hold my shares to the point that I grow very attached to the company. It’s not ideal but it’s the truth.

Even when I’m confident the shares will go down and I should sell so I can buy lower and get more shares, not being in the market gives me anxiety. Can you all help me with that

I’d have hundreds of more shares of micro if I’d just take profits and buy back lower.

I’m so tied to the stock that I figure I might as well hold because I’m constantly watching the ticker ( even when I don’t even have any shares)

I genuinely feel fear and anxiety until I buy back in. I’m very much aware I’m costing myself profits with this kind of behavior
