One way my fear holds me back is.....
It stops me from reaching out to others the way I really would like to, and value.
It stops me from going to important medical appointments. My mental health has this effect on my physical health, which is also not good.
@Kuma0187
I've been dealing with this myself. When I finally made myself go to the Dr. I found out I had three stomach ulcers. I needlessly suffered for a long time. Wish I had gone in sooner.
One way my fear holds me back is.....I almost always regret not having taken one mor photos, I take too long to decide to do things and I worry that I have stayed somewhere too long just trying to soak up the memory so it wont fade.
@PolyPanPanda
I think I'm the opposite way. I want to take photos of everything and it gets on some people's nerves sometimes.
I heard of a few people who developed a photography habit due to their anxiety and filled up whole rooms with their film stocks not to even look at any of it, probably mostly cause they suffered loss at some point. I'm hoping I don't end up that bad with it.
@CoinFountain My problem is i refrain from taking as many photos as i like for fear of annoying thoe with me or making us late to the next thing we are doing. I treasure photos because i feel likeif i photograph it im likely to remember better.
Too anxious to make and build friendships fear leaves me very lonely.
It sometimes stops me from being happy. I don't take risks at all, and avoid them at any cost. In my mind I fear that people dislike me or see my flaws, so I hide myself away from everyone .. it stops me from living life like I should. I feel that my fear or anxiety does not do justice to who I am. I am so much more than my fearful thoughts, but those fears somehow have locked me inside the room and threw away the key... and I dunno how to escape.
It stops me from being able to do my best
My stage fright.
It stops me from actually living and loving my life
@Laura
It stops me to have proper life
I'm afraid to get hurt again or get a bad guy, so I give myself excuses with each guy I meet.
