RE: Psychology Addict # 45 | Discussing Day-to-Day Fear
I think the only thing we need fear is fear itself. Opportunities may come and go. The major thing according to a book I read that most people regret at the point of death is the opportunities that could have taken but been afraid it wouldn't pan out or that they'd get rejected did not give it a try. I think we would be better if we live our lives with the what-is-the- worst-that-could-happen attitude. If we know failing is an option, then the worst that could happen is just that :)
Good morning Green 😊
what-is-the- worst-that-could-happen attitude, I am a fan of this attitude too Green. Even more so for those of us who don't live with specific phobias or severe levels of anxiety. I have learnt over the course of my life that people truly fear being judge, failing; but, perhaps, what hold them back the most is their 'fear of fear'. Maybe that is because we live in a world where we meant to be always 'happy'.
Oftentimes people come to me and tell me how afflicted they are feeling, and go on to describe a difficult family situation, or work issues etc... then they ask 'what is wrong with me?'. I say, 'you are appropriately, emotionally responding to a stressful event'. It is as if some people don't know that, which causes them to fear sadness, to fear feeling down ... and the cycle starts again!
Thank you for stopping by my dear Green.
I wish you a wonderful Friday ❤
I wish you an amazing weekend too. Most normal behaviour is now termed strange.
