I Am Afraid of Failure

Holding back for fear of not succeeding. Closing myself off because avoidance seems like the safest path. I run because I think I won't come out ahead...sometimes I run because I know that I will. There are times I might hide my desires because I'm convinced that once obtained I'll inevitably lose them. All of it amounts to giving up before I've even given myself the chance to lose. Failing at failure perhaps?

If i was a virus i would attack Fear destroy it and spread myself across the globe so that in one hundred years fear would just be a word in history books.

@SW-User i dont know i guess in some instances it is probably good to be afraid just a little . A fearless world is a different discussion. I can see how fear can be useful in the case of the criminal or insane mind.

@CheerfullyCurious If only you could separate the instances where it deprives more than rescues, lol
