Why do I just fear away from everything new?

Maybe you fear change. Change is a good thing gets you forward in life. Don't fear to fail either if you don't fail how are you gonna succeed.

There are a lot of levels to this in society that make it totally understandable for you to shy from things that are different or new. Society trains us to seek the familiar, for example; also many children are taught that different equals wrong or bad (games like "which one doesn't belong") . Examine your own personal fears one-by-one for each new thing. What about it frightens you? What are you afraid will happen if you accept the new/different thing? As humans we want stability because the universe was made of organized chaos and that is terrifying. Once we accept our fear and the reasons beneath it, we can learn how to manage it and coexist with it, or even conquer it altogether. Think of something you love that you would never have known about if you hadn't tried it.
