Fear of failure

neatCar3218 2 days ago

Anxiety about failing every possible thing- an importable meeting, social interaction, a party, phone call, being a mother. I feel blue.

@neatCar3218 are your standards/expectations impossibly high? What have you succeeded at today (any item at all, like getting out of bed)? What would be the worst thing that could happen if you failed in any of the areas you mentioned?

Many have varying levels of fear of failure. If it is keeping you from doing things you may need to reflect on. 

At one time of my life I missed out on things/ opportunities because I was fearful of failure but saw without that risk of failure.... I had zero chance of success.      we all fail it is how we handle it learn from it and grow that matters and in the end many do not remember the  moments where  we just think were embarrassing or failures.
