Monday Chats | Fears
9/25/2017
I love
writing down more personal posts; believe it or not, they really make me feel
better and overall more relaxed. Even if you don’t have a blog I'd really
recommend writing down your worries or thoughts, it will make you feel a
hundred times better. Today I wanted to do another post on my Monday Chats
series, this time dedicated to fears.
I'm
someone who has a lot of fears and most of them are really irrational which
makes them even worse in my opinion. I cannot face my fears in a material way
(if that makes any sense) and that gives my fears so much strenght.
I'm
afraid of failure. I'm such a perfectionist; I want everything I do to be
perfect and that has made me develop a huge fear to failure. Fear of failing
and deceiving myself and the people around me. This fear makes me work so hard
whenever it comes to uni / school / blog work and make everything as perfect as
I can just so I don't deceive the people that expect something from me.
I'm
afraid of loneliness. I like having some time to myself, as I think most of us
do, and I don't really like having a huge group of friends. However, I'm afraid
of being lonely when I need someone to be by my side. This fear is really
irrational and has gotten worse and worse over the last few years and there's
nothing I can do to help it.
I'm
afraid of not succeeding. As I have said before I'm really perfectionist; I also
set really big goals which doesn't really help. I demand myself so much and I
really want to make something big out of my life / career. Success is up to
everyone and not succeeding (at least to what I see as success) really scares
me.
Big
changes and new beginnings also afraid me a lot. I don't really like changes as
they completely change my routine and that causes me so much anxiety. Having to
stick to a new routine, meeting new people, maybe failing at some point, etc;
all of these things (which go closely related to changes and new beginnings)
make me feel really anxious and afraid at the same time.
This
are my main fears. Obviously, they don't really help with my anxiety and can
even make it worse. However, I still wanted to do this post for two reason.
Number one, to let you know that it is okay to have fears; we all have them and
we all need to make an effort to face them everyday. Number two, to ask you for
advice; I want you guys to let me your tips on how to get away with my fears
and live a less anxious life.
