Literally every single one of our problems is caused by fear.

Fear is a spook

>>35343011

I realized this so I took it aponI myself to do things I feared.

Not meme shit like sky diving, but telling a girl i like her, dancing or singing infront of people, participating in competitions, going to a public gym. I've become less fearful overall.

I think this is what cognitive behavorial therapy or w/e is.

You can't escape fear by thinking. Only by doing.

In some cases fear is rational.

For some of us there's a legitimate possibility of death.

Walking a tightrope with no safety net.

All day, every day, for our entire lives.

It just takes one little slip to fall to our deaths.

Just one little slip in a long long lifetime.

OP here. This is so damn true. I had a sort of epiphany earlier and I realised everything I want in life is guarded by a wall of fear. Whether it's anxiety, self-conscious feelings, low self esteem etc. It's all irrational fear that can only be overcome by just doing it. All this time I've just been a fucking coward. It is that simple and obvious.

The way to beat fear is to just go do the shit you're afraid of. Little by little, the fear gets chipped away

I know. I'm so annoyed that I hadn't realised this sooner. It's like I knew it all along but didn't truly understand it.

I feel optimistic for the first time in over a year. Shit's amazing desu.

Life is supposed to be better than that
What the fuck

>>35343424
Better to realize it now and fight it then to never realize it and live your life in fear

>We have nothing to lose
Maybe you don't, but I really don't want to lose my comfy lifestyle of watching anime and playing vidya.

I don't have much to continue to this discussion other than that I agree and I do that too.

Also this screenshot from a top tier Facebook shitposting page. Unironically the wokest cunts on fb, though this screenshot doesn't capture the whole of it.
