How Do You Overcome Your Fears?

[Beegio]

I tried to explain to you that fear is abstract. Do you understand what that means?

Don't argue with that nikka.

He knows fukk and shyt about fukk and shyt.

You know and understand the answer to your question in the OP, so you're all set.

by realizing you will never completely eliminate it. it will always be there as long as there is insecurity. then you can learn to make peace with it. instead of constantly fighting the demons within, you should befriend them, make peace with them. use logic. "why exactly is fear in me?"keep asking why until you get to the common denominator.

don't try to eliminate fear. fear exists as a survival instinct and it's a necessary element hardwired within you. instead figure out what triggers it and see if it's a "rational" reason. if not, consciously change your perspective and watch fear within you fall back.

@TheFemalePerspective You have everything you need to be great. Fear is normal as long as you don't let it hold you back. Go be your best and reach for the sky.

I'm going to go for it!
If I fail, at least I can say,
I tried.

Spoiler

I'll probably cry if I don't get it

I always take calculated risks and only go for an opportunity when I believe I'm capable of succeeding 100%. Failing at something really hurts me to my core; it shatters my soul. I absolutely hate failure. Every time I've failed at something, I've cried like a baby, I've been really upset. But I'm slowly learning that failing is sometimes the stepping stone to success. Yet, I still have fears about going after something that I'm unsure I can obtain. This is greatly limiting my capabilities.

My manager is looking to fill a new position & has personally filled me in on it, and has even printed out the application form for me to fill out. The new salary could literally change my life. I'd be earning x3 what I'm earning right now... BUT, I'm deeply scared. The position comes with so many responsibilities and I like to be lazy. I don't think I'm ready yet. Plus this position is full-time & I enjoy working part-time and sleeping in the afternoons. I've told another colleague about the job position & even though she's less qualified than me, she's applying for it as we speak. I want to apply for it too but I only like to do things when I'm 100% ready. However, this is a great opportunity, and I don't want to miss out on it due to fear.

How do I overcome this? How do I grow some balls? Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Just bust your gun shorty, fukk all the pacing and overthinking. Your gonna have to live with and lose sleep over that regret for the rerst of your life. Go for your dreams and your inner peace.

Don't think,

Fear can hold a person hostage.

How Do You Overcome Your Fears?

Life is short. So fukk it.

This song inspired me too.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread.

Should know the outcome soon...

You are an insignificant little worm on an insignificant planet which circles an insignificant star in a big (presumably) bad universe. A universe you will never comprehend, nor can ever hope to comprehend.
Just like everything that walks, breathes, grows, flies, crawls or swims, you are going to die. One day, your planet will die. Long, long after, the sun it still circles as a dead rock will die. Then there will be darkness on the face of the earth. That is, there would be darkness if there was any creature alive to view it.
Yon are going to die. Nothing can alter the fact. It is immutable. Inevitable.

But that should set you free. What does anything matter if you are one day going to be dust? Nothing matters.

Say fukk it, and go in raw

 

[Mr. Foxx Foxx]

ask myself what would i do if i wasn't afraid, and make my decision based off the answer I come up with. Sometimes fear is common sense though.

 

[awkwardblackgirl]

Failure builds character. I regret the things that I didn't do over the things I've attempted to do and failed at. It gives me peace of mind knowing the results of something I've wanted to do/have, as opposed to wondering "what if?".
