One way my fear holds me back is.....
Fear stops me from living. I'm constantly scared of everything and it makes me feel pathetic. It stops me from conecting with anyone and it stops me from enjoying activities I used to love.
@SammyLouise
i feel ya...
my fear is simple yet complicated... I fear being alone and that is the one thing that I am so I suffer from the pain it causes daily
@Tiredandalone88 Do you meant literally alone at home or not in a relationship type alone? I can't be in my house with my family out. Only tiny bits of time if they are nearby. It's AWFUL and limiting and humliating. My kids have busy lives...I hate being a burden. My best friend of 35 yrs used to live 6 houses away.....on purpose....we planned it. Then she up and moved and left our friendship. REALLY hard on me. No goodbye. Our kids are best friends (college age no), so it's odd. I know this has more to do with her midlife meltdown, than me...but having her not around is hard. I have a dog I lean on too. I'm sorry you suffer. I will pray for relief for you.
@Teacup504 both. And thank you for your prayers and I'm sorry for what your going through
Me being afraid of trying new things
My fear holds me back by making me doubt and start overthinking simple situations.
It prevents me from believeing that what i have to say could really be important to someone else. It also makes me feel like i need to leave before they leave me first...
social events, small events, pretty much everything. my anxiety got so bad i was sometimes afraid to kiss my now ex boyfriend.
One way my fear holds me back is it keeps me from reaching out for help and support.
One way fear holds me back is... getting out and enjoyng the world. It has taken all my motivation.
One way my fear holds me back is... It prevents me from trying to do new things and enjoy them, even talking to people I'm comfortable talking to.
Fear holds me back from playing volleyball to the best of my abilities. It holds me back from doing my best in school. It holds me back from trying to make friends or even talk to anyone at all. It holds me back from being motivated enough to get up out of bed in the morning. Fear and anxiety hold me back from just about anything, and hopefully someday I will get better
