RE: Success and the desperate Fear of Failure

in #psychology8 years ago (edited)

Great self-reflection. I can't agree more with you. Have you thought of the "fear of success" is more acute than the "fail of failure" in which we always thought we do. It always come down to deep down how we truly define "success". Apart from fearing not being able to achieve want we thought we want to, we fear more about how these success is not being able to give us the satisfaction we thought it does. Like it doesn't make you feel truly successful as if you live in a lie. I resorted to soul search to answer a lot of this thing, to mitigate the anxiety I've experienced​​ in the process of pursuit...There is something valuable, intrinsic inside everyone of us that we can't find in external validation.
