Thank you for your posting. I feel your frustration popping out of the screen but I wonder, is it failure that he is scared of? I ask this as times of fear in my life, which is something I often struggle with, never seemed to be about failing at all. It is hard to explain what I mean but if you imagine failing and being scared of it, why would you be scared of it? What is the consequence of exposing this insecurity? this truth about you?
Is living up to expectations of others at the heart or is it about losing something because of it?
I agree fear shouldn't stop you and it feels good when it doesn't but I can tell you sometimes it does, because you can get stuck and if you get stuck it can feel harder to move forwards.
Also, does or did he ever want to be a successful Entrepreneur?
Some things that came to mind, good luck on your journey
I'm not sure! I have been thinking about that. It could easily be more than just being "afraid" like you said. He's never talked about being an Entrepreneur, But he's always wanted his own gaming channel/podcast or some how work in videogames. He's not going to college or anything like that. So I'm questioning on how he thinks he'll get there without "starting" on something. Whenever I ask him about his goals, He replys with "I don't know" . I then remind him, That not having some sort of plan or goal, means he won't ever end up anywhere near it.
So I have no idea! But I love the points that you brought up.
I hope my thoughts help you find your answers :)
I can confirm that who I was at 21 isn't who I am now. We all change and in different ways.
Wish you both the best
Thank you! That makes me feel better that things will change even more, I think I"ll focus more on my self development. I mean there are tons of fish in the sea.
