One way my fear holds me back is.....
I'm never going to open up to someone ever again. No one will understand and people might get hurt. Badly.
Fear hold me all my life from almost everything i like
I can't speak my mind. I'm so afraid I will say the wrong thing and I end up just agreeing with everyone else even if its not what I want to do
@selfdisciplinedSea2925. I agree, maybe a fear of not being liked?
@Powderman
I think it's more a fear of being judged then being liked for me.
@selfdisciplinedSea2925 "People will people. Just do me. ________<focus word
@selfdisciplinedSea2925
I agree. I always feel like I am being judged.
@selfdisciplinedSea2925
Agree but I dont' hold back and then dwell about the judging people might do or have done.
My fear of what people think of me prevents me from having a lot of friends
I am afraid that my family think I won't be successful. I fear that my mother and older brother will never want to be a part of my life because they're always negative. I will be hurt that they prefer to be these ugly people that are miserable and my own blood family, doudt me and they will always give me a hard time and leaving them behind sucks.
@Laura
May I ask what the purpose of this exercise it? How about starting a thread where people who have done things they feared talk about how they did it, how they faced that fear. Now THAT might be helpful.
My fear of making a fool out of myself and being a disappointment to everyone prevents me from taking initiatives and letting anyone in
Avoiding those situations instead of taking them head on and making good practice
I worry what people will think about me. I constantly look in mirrors just to point out my flaws and make myself more nervous, I worry if I'm too shy or if I'm ugly to them, I worry about people talking behind my back, I worry about being ugly or fat, I'd hate to be known as the ' ugly girl ' but if I wore makeup I'd worry about being a ' fake girl ' all I want is to be liked and i worry too much about it, everyone's opinions matter to me, and I worry about it too much.
@Aimeewild i worry about those thing to. Dont froget your perfect. Dpnt listen to ther people no matter hard it is dont. And o completer agree om the makeup it is like for example if akmeone did wear makeup theu worroed about being fake. That was a example btw but i complete understand what you are goong through. Whe i look in the mirrior i thinm to myself " that i cpuld loook better and be better". It us a lot harder this generation to be yourself. But i am here for yiu if you want to chat with me. Magbe i can jelp you cahse i fear this too jut maybe i can give you some advice.
I cant emrace any CHANGE my mind resist change heavily whether change in places,people,subjects,trends which cause me a great despairness
