How do i get over the fear of failure?

Ever since i was a young teenager (i'm almost 19 now) i have wanted to be a comedian but i'm scared as shit to give my 100% because i don't want to have the realization that "oh i'm bad at this and i will never be good".

It paralyzes me and makes me not not want to do anything because its safer to think that "oh if i did try i could do it" than actually doing it.

If you strive and seek improvment you can improve.
But you cant even begin to get to that point if your afraid of failure.
By that very thought process you are already failing.
But that failure only means as much as you let it mean. You can see it as a tool for improvement, a lesson to be learned and be happy you can walk away from failure better than before you failed,

Or you can just mope around feeling sorry for not being born a winner.

Can you name a comedian who was an astounding success without any hickups or practice?
Why are you holding yourself to that expectation. Stop it.

If you never try you'll never do it. Everyone, and I mean everyone who does standup comedy sucks when they first start. All the greats and every standup comedian you like sucked at the beginning.

So prepare some material and go to an open mic night and perform for 5 minutes. If you actually want to be a standup comedian you'll return. You suck, but you'll learn to go about it.

I'm sorry sorry anon. My fiancé died 2 years ago, and I know what you're going through. Honestly, just keep yourself busy, but allow yourself to grief. For me after 2 years I'm still in pain, but I don't breakdown crying if something reminds me of them.
