i have been terrified of the stupidest things and wasn’t comfortable living with myself. then i found you. you helped me rid of all of my fears such as dark, certain videos, death, rejection, all of it. bless you Georgia Dow.
Me too I wasn't afraid of darkness, horror cinemas previously but now I totally avoid them, or try my best to avoid them... It feels sad... In 2023 I felt like I had developed anxiety, anyways now I've learned to manage it (without medication), touchwood hopefully I will be able to do that further. 😊
Since I was a child I have intentionally advanced toward things I want to run from to overcome fears. At a young age I overcame the darkness, bugs, and heights, to name a few things. In my adult life I look forward to advancing toward failure itself. Great video!
I found out about your channel from watching your reactions to arcane, and I’m so happy I did, your videos have helped me out a lot and your voice is so soothing. Thank you so much, please keep up the good work!!
I am afraid of people so much I took your advice and talked with some people and it was horrible pain but the happy news is I slept that night with smile on my face thank you a lot I needed someone to tell me this for a long time
If I was fearless, I would develop my skills and pursue my passions with a level of perseverance beyond anything I've ever experienced. I'd get singing lessons, piano lessons, dance lessons, become a fantastic artist, public speaker, author, athlete, design clothing, create businesses, become an amazing chef, allow the kind of relationship I desire into my life, be okay with making new friends and just live the life of my dreams. It's crazy because a part of the reason I want to succeed is to be someone I can be proud of and the other big part of the reason is so I can be enough so I can be loved. It's amazing how the thing that people (including me) really want is just love.

Maybe not exactly the same topic but there is this mindset a friend set me on: Utilizing this phenomenon of fear of missing out. If you are in doubt of doing anything - be it in professional or private life, like changing your job, ending a relationship, going all in either of those - ask yourself: are you more afraid of losing this chance and worry for the rest of your life - which is a valid and oh so cruel punishment because there is no real redemption for this - or try it and at least have the chance of succeeding? You may fail either way but the fear of eternal questioning "What if..." is, in my opinion, an incredible motivator and possibly the modern day equivalent to your tiger example.
I'm after 2-year therapy, it's been like 4 months now without therapist insights and I was sooooo "fine" until i've realized that fear is my last obstacle for gaining what I want and it "just" popped out cause I kinda lost my work-stability and came up with idea to start working on my own, and BOOM - fear blocked everything. I came here looking for perfect solution, some words to STOP me feeling the fear. I'm going to close this tab with a new solution now - that there are no easy ways but the right way or wrong way. And that right way is doing things regardless of fear... which I already knew, but yay sometimes fighting for yourself is the most fearful of fights. Gotta be kind to yourself on the way too. Thanks for that video, it gave me exactly what I needed, not what I wanted. :)
I’ve always stayed hidden, be observant and make friends in my head cuz I was scared of approaching since in the past everytime I have made An attempt to make friends, I’ve been bullied, called names, judged, all the fun stuff. This made me stop and I started to detach from the reality and live in my head with these made up scenarios and even I knew that it wasn’t real but that’s when I was less scared. I eventually made friends in undergrad but I only ever had 2 TRUE friends that I had made in HS. My own trust issues made me distant from my friends. I had a lot of pressure put on me since I was a child to help my family out of poverty and the fear grew worse. I went from being an honor roll student to failing my classes in my doctorate program I’m currently in. Everytime I try to think about facing my fears head on, all I get hit with are memories and experiences of my past that had always stopped me. Even now. Somedays I talk myself out of doing something that scare me because the first thought I get is “there’s no point…the judgements people make will last forever and no matter how hard I try, I’ll only be a laughing stock”. I never had problems looking for jobs but now I’m afraid to even look for jobs. You see this fear that I possess is irrational and I know that too yet it’s something I struggle to move past. This video was needed and I can’t appreciate it enough. Thank you so much!!!
@@saktya97 it gets better with time, you have to remind yourself to take it one moment at a time and in that moment you have to apply yourself and do the best that you can for yourself. Most importantly be a critique but not a judgment maker. I’m in a much better position and about to start my life working, and there’s still a bit of lingering fear of failure and embarrassment so I’m trying to fight that by putting myself deep in there (don’t recommend this as there are far better and healthier ways of going on about it) but I’m trying my best to keep my cool and not lose whatever little bit of confidence I have developed within the last 2 years. it’s a fight and struggle everyday, but you have to keep going one way or another.

I am sending all my positivity your way ! keep at it and dont let your fears stop you. Dont worry if it doesnt work out right away. learn from it and get back up. You can do this, i am rooting for you < 3
One of my main problems is that I'm too afraid to keep failing, and I know that this slows down my improvement by a lot, and I just hate myself for it more.. I'm self studying animation right now, and there's so much to learn, and I can't learn as fast because I'm so afraid to try this or that because I'm afraid it'll look or end bad, and at the end I just waste more time playing video games instead cause I'm too stuck, instead of just practicing my planned studies. Being alone and self studying is a nightmare haha!
if i am not afraid of starting over, i will start over and finally make myself do what i really wish to. I will start over and conquer my actions, making myself confident to take responsibility of my own life.
I recently learned it was my fear of failure is what has been holding me back from my career. I came to that realization with your video on Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel. Thank you for helping me realize that through your content.
If I am not afraid…I will study better…i will give practice tests that I have been afraid to give……I will do better in life….. I don’t want to be scared of this….I have lost a lot of what I could have been….so many opportunities just because I felt I might screw it up. I am a doctor and I am preparing for my Postgraduate Exams which is a week away….and I have not prepared well…..I have been feeling like a man who is on his death sentence……Found this just when I needed it the most!!
Wao! It is so clear. I fear of being judged and being unable to be creative during an interview. These two are my worst fears due to which I am stuck for 2 whole years. But after seeing this video I have got confidence to do them inspite of fearing it.
I found out that whenever I do something without telling anyone I am way more confident and much more less afraid of failure. Other people's opinions get to me a lot.
This video warms my heart! Instills hope, is lovingly encouraging and filled with brilliant Georgia insights! Oooh! And this video seems the PERFECT segue into videos about THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR himself! (Hint Hint: Daredevil? Netfix?) As a university writing major/theater person, I was in rehearsals and performances from 6 AM till 1AM, with classes and studying in between. And writing. Also got to see other plays and musicals, ballets, concerts as part of the curriculum. I often forgot until the day of that I had tickets to something. Wherever I was on campus, I would stop and ask the next girl I saw if she would go with me. That's what I would do again...if I wasn't afraid of, you know, being emotionally destroyed.
@@GeorgiaDow Ah! But the REAL credit goes to you for being so supportable. (And did I mention that the Daredevil Netflix shows would make great subject material for videos for you? ;)
I made my 13 year old daughter and her friend come watch this video. Then I asked both of them what they would do? What a wonderful message. I’m bookmarking this and sharing it often. I don’t often watch your movie analysis, mainly cause I’m not watching those movies. But your insight is appreciated. I’m still a subscriber. 😉
A winner in life is someone who has felt the fear, experienced the failure time after time and been knocked down by it, decided to try again “just one more time” every time. People see the end results, but rarely do they consider how challenging that journey was and how that winner never gave up when they were losing. Fear will have you fail by default if you let it prevent you from even starting.
My philosophy brain has become uncomfortable with this message. Yes fear of failure is bad, but this isn't because failure is imaginary in the modern world. Even saying the wrong thing can have huge consequences. I think that to avoid a fear of failure you need something to trust in, so that even if you fail and face the full consequences things will ultimately be ok. Then once the risks are bearable the rewards may outwiegh them.
Heck, I'd say that fear of failure is good when it's reasonable chance of unacceptable failure. People with great safety nets under them keep saying how you should not fear failure (and our civilization is quite good at making safety nets for certain people). Sometimes failure means loss of limb, home, life.
@@randomnobodovsky3692 i dont think she is saying you should be totaly fearless and start jumping down stairs and stuff. but dont let fear hold you back. i am a very anxious person and i am in a job i hate, cause i am to anxious to try something new. i had not one but two women i really liked but i banished them from my life cause i thought i wasnt good enough but later i found out, they liked me. there is a place for fear in our lives when its reasonable. but to fear everything and not advancing can also ruining your life and kill your happiness.
You are right. And she is also right. Overcoming fear takes practice. But sometimes your fears are legitimate. And sometimes they're not. But failure isn't something that should be feared. No one has ever become successful without failure. Failure is not the opposite of success, but an inevitability on the way to success. Success is overcoming failure. It's like when you play a game you might get beat by the boss the first few times. You keep trying until you overcome him.
If I wasn't afraid I would immediately visit my mom go outside again breath some fresh air. Asking random people how there day's been going. Thinking about it already makes me feel more alive. Thank you for you're motivation and perspective on it.
Thanks for the great video, Georgia! It’s actually reaffirmed a lot of the things that my own therapist has talked to me about, and I realize now how seriously I should be taking it. Also, if I may, I’ve come across a line from Dostoevsky that’s helped me a lot: “Fear is simply the consequence of every lie.” So I think it might help, when we’re afraid, what are we lying to ourselves about? Or what lies have been told to us and we have accepted as truth? Hopefully, that’s some good food for thought for everyone else.
You look like a bloody good therapist to me.... I'd express myself however the hell I wanted...id care less about people pleasing..id show how I felt& not cover it..I could go on after so many years of an anxiety disorder..we all come good in the end..it's a sometimes crazy game with growth, transformation & awakening..however we get there💥🌈🙏x
Your video made me realize that one thing that happens to me quite often is that I get scared or anxious before doing something, which for one reason or another sounds menacing in my mind. Then I do it, and everything goes smoothly. So, while feeling relieved and happy, I think “I was so stupid to be afraid! Why was I afraid? I just made things more difficult for myself”. And while that is true to a certain extent, I realize now it is unfair. I was afraid, so what? With the informations I had at the time, that was my reaction. It’s easy to be bold once things are clear and under control. I am allowed to be afraid and it wasn’t stupid. Sorry if I went off-topic, I felt the need to write down these thoughts as I was having them in my brain, to try and organize them! You are such a sweet person, thanks and keep doing what you’re doing 💪 (loved your Arcane reactions videos, I’ll add a couple characters in the poll I’d like to see your analysis on!)
I can really relate to those fears. I've been studying at university for a few years, but most nights when I lay down and think about the next day I get incredibly anxious to go to university, although I've gone there so many times and there is nothing there that has ever harmed me before. I hope your fear and anxiety has gotten better with time, but hey, it's just as okay if it hasn't!
Depending on what you do, one mistake could take a literal lifetime to undo. Overcoming fear at work or to be more social is one thing, asking for fearlessness is something completely different.
I like her because imagine somebody try to show you the road she don't tell you what to do don't be afraid to claim respect for others don't be afraid to make your own actions always behind with big support 🙏
im in debt by thousands of £ struggling with family who have abondened me ,this has slighty helped actully so many worries and fears ,alwsys looking over my shoulder i have now subcribed im really struggling ,having turned to drink and drugs
You're great, i even can't find exact words to describe how much it does mean to me to watch your videos. I was going through really hard childhood where i got many traumas and I'm literally afraid of everything that mature people do every single day and includes social interactions like post my photos or exhibit in front of others or just to be myself near them. So what i really want to say is thank you for your helping content and please, if you could, make small video about sociophobia🙏🏻
Thank you for this video, it was very encouraging to me. I have known that I struggled with self-doubt a lot, but you gave me a lot of reasons why I shouldn't feel that way and be so afraid to step out of my comfort zone.
I would commit to working out daily, learning German daily, and writing a fiction book. And fill my brain with happy thoughts. Let's see what my life will look like in a year. I'm going to do this. Wish me luck! Remind me of this comment a year from now!
Every day I feel afraid to go to work or go outside, it’s a really strong feeling of fear, I can see it’s an unfounded irrational fear but in the moment I can’t rationalize myself to calm down and not be scared so I’m always on guard and tense so much that I get muscle spasms when I get home and try to relax.
Every time death is mentioned im terrified of losing my sister, i could say i don't know why but i do, she is everything ive ever had even when i never had anyone, ive never had anyone even as a little kid, i cannot imagine life without her, and everytime i'm rude to her i regret it so much. I hope she knows i love her.
Perhaps this will sound a little odd but one of my biggest fears is kinda my favourite thing in the world - my friends. Especially now I'm not in a good position when it comes to my friendships at all. I know I should start overcoming it but I'm not sure where to start but I know that's something that I have to decide and do for my sake. Amazing video! I already send it to a friend of mine that I think need to hear this.
Thankyou..im quite in always fearful heart so i want to be more free and happy so i have decided to watch it daily to remind myself and challenge myself so that my fears will go away more ❤❤
damn I'm so impressed thank you teacher , I filled 2 pages and a half , your speech is full of wisdom and it really convinced and shifts towards taking an action and get improve thank you so much I subscribed and liked the video because it really helped me , thank you again
The thing I would do if I wasn't afraid is the thing I'm doing now but in baby steps. I would put myself out there as a creative entertainer. I'm starting to do it now, but I still press stop a lot more than I press go.
Your explanation of learning by doing on a neurobiological level, with the neuron bridges and such, just gave me a revelation. Idioms, examples, analogies etc usually have no effect on me. But an explanation like this, based on actual science blew my mind!! I mean, of course, that's how the brain works, but I never thought of it in this context. I'm looking to get therapy soon, but was too afraid (hah) up until now, because I expected it to be a waste of time. But now I'm honestly excited to get going. Thank you so much
I am learning to code and can SO relate to this - when you code you need to tinker with your product to get it juuust right, but you WILL get it wrong and it WILL NOT work for a very long time, which is very frustrating. And you cannot just read the steps and memorise them, you need to actually tinker in order to learn, because theory is one thing, but when you are actually inside that evironment, all of a sudden things seem sooooo little like that instruction video or book you just watched/read and a lot of people just give up, because things get hard. But the thing is - you cannot get better without struggling and/or failing. So do tell that inner goblin to stuff it, because believe you me - you CAN learn and improve. ;-) Things you do not fully understand yet will click once you have pushed on and gotten the proper context (e.g. when I was still learning the basics I was trying to do a thing and got frustrated because it didn't work, but chose to "soldier on", watched more instructions and found a presentation of a function which let me do exactly what I wanted. you are not dumb, you just don't see the entire picture yet.)
I once got told if it feels scary just do it today I woke up scared of people judging me and I got up went out yes I was scared and realized people don't care they got 1 million things going on in there life
I have to jump off a cliff every time just to leave the house. It's been decades and no, it hasn't gotten better. I just force myself off the cliff every time..every day. It still terrifies me, drives up my heart rate and bp. I need real help but it seems to be nowhere.
I juts had thought that i needed to work out with my fear of failure which is now holding me back from trying to get to the next step in my career. If i didnt have fear i would go on a draft a curriculum and start looking for jobs. I hope i can work with that and get better at just jumping in the pool, because if i keep starig at it nothing will change.
I am learning to drive a car and it is so difficult for me, I started 6 months ago and I still haven't take an exam cause I feel I am not ready. I received a lot of critics from my teachers and all my friends are surprised that it takes so long time for me, and it feels like tension as well. After watching your video I realized that the only thing I can do (and wanna do) is just to keep trying.❤
Fear is an advisor who sees everything in shades of black. He's not always wrong but he lacks perspective. Listen to it, think about what it said, don't let it make the decisions.
I’m mentally tired, already @ 29. My Mom just offered to pay for a psychologist for me. But I’m afraid to speak. I love helping others, but I’m afraid of me. I’d talk to someone that would listen… I’ve tried before in high school twice, but failed.
Sounds like things I always tell beginner artists or also doubting artist who aren't beginners anymore. I always say, that beneatch every great artwork lie at least a hundred torn papers and every single on of them is a part of the master piece in the end. You just don't see them, because they are just hidden behind the master pieces you admire so much... So even if you think you are bad, tell yourself, one day a Master Piece will also lie above your torned papers. But even if I tell things like this to others, I fail to follow my own wannabe wise words. I am scared of almost everything in life, even of myself sometimes. What would I do, if I would not be afraid? I have no idea. I got these anxieties and fears during my childhood. It's long ago now, but even if my life changed from back then, it so often seems, as nothing would have ever changed. I try and try and it doesn't seem to lead me anywhere. What I try to tell... I can't imagine how it would be to not be afraid. There are things I'd like to do... trying to make my own videogame for example... I started some in the past, but never got far. I have no endurance. I always break up in the middle of the process... or before I started at all, not only with games also with drawings and... well... everything else. Batteries empty... not refillable... even a break doesn't bring it back. Don't know where to take it from. Whats left are doubts and fears... the base I seem to live on. Sometimes I overcome them, but it never lasts long... Always fall back... When a day comes, where I seem to be okay... I get scared of being okay, as it's a terrain I don't know... Don't know what to do, when no thoughts are swirling through my brain. It feels like something is missing, like nothing is left... the fear... the doubts, and then there they are again... It's a circle... How to get away from fears, if you even fear to not being fearful? Does it even make sense? Anyway, got myself something to write and started jounaling. Started to practice again. Started a while ago for the sake of my health, but... well... endurance... Now you said it helps against depression too, I try and start again and try to keep at it this time, which is the hardest part of it. I need to do something and your Videos helped me a bit, to get to move myself. Hope something will work. However, thanks already. And sorry if my english may sound strange sometimes, I'm not a native english speaker.
"The master has failed more than the novice has tried." Very wise words indeed.
Indeed true
If I wasn't afraid, I'd live my life instead of surviving it.
Yes so true

Every time I have pushed through fear, life has gotten worse. I am doing nothing but completely respecting my fear from here on out.
I recently learned it was my fear of failure is what has been holding me back from my career. I came to that realization with your video on Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel. Thank you for helping me realize that through your content.
If I am not afraid…I will study better…i will give practice tests that I have been afraid to give……I will do better in life….. I don’t want to be scared of this….I have lost a lot of what I could have been….so many opportunities just because I felt I might screw it up.
I am a doctor and I am preparing for my Postgraduate Exams which is a week away….and I have not prepared well…..I have been feeling like a man who is on his death sentence……Found this just when I needed it the most!!
If I wasn't afraid, I'd destroy parts of my self image.
Great video! Been enjoying your content.
Wao! It is so clear.
I fear of being judged and being unable to be creative during an interview. These two are my worst fears due to which I am stuck for 2 whole years.
But after seeing this video I have got confidence to do them inspite of fearing it.
I found out that whenever I do something without telling anyone I am way more confident and much more less afraid of failure. Other people's opinions get to me a lot.
This video warms my heart! Instills hope, is lovingly encouraging and filled with brilliant Georgia insights! Oooh! And this video seems the PERFECT segue into videos about THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR himself! (Hint Hint: Daredevil? Netfix?) As a university writing major/theater person, I was in rehearsals and performances from 6 AM till 1AM, with classes and studying in between. And writing. Also got to see other plays and musicals, ballets, concerts as part of the curriculum. I often forgot until the day of that I had tickets to something. Wherever I was on campus, I would stop and ask the next girl I saw if she would go with me. That's what I would do again...if I wasn't afraid of, you know, being emotionally destroyed.
Thank you CL you have always been there to support and it is much appreciated.
@@GeorgiaDow Ah! But the REAL credit goes to you for being so supportable. (And did I mention that the Daredevil Netflix shows would make great subject material for videos for you? ;)
You're right. Perfect should not be the enemy of good.
I made my 13 year old daughter and her friend come watch this video. Then I asked both of them what they would do?
What a wonderful message. I’m bookmarking this and sharing it often.
I don’t often watch your movie analysis, mainly cause I’m not watching those movies. But your insight is appreciated. I’m still a subscriber. 😉
This made my day. Thank you.
I rationally understand all of that.
I subjectively feel like I'm suffocating when I try anyway
Keep trying and working at it, It can get better
A winner in life is someone who has felt the fear, experienced the failure time after time and been knocked down by it, decided to try again “just one more time” every time. People see the end results, but rarely do they consider how challenging that journey was and how that winner never gave up when they were losing. Fear will have you fail by default if you let it prevent you from even starting.
My philosophy brain has become uncomfortable with this message. Yes fear of failure is bad, but this isn't because failure is imaginary in the modern world. Even saying the wrong thing can have huge consequences. I think that to avoid a fear of failure you need something to trust in, so that even if you fail and face the full consequences things will ultimately be ok. Then once the risks are bearable the rewards may outwiegh them.
Heck, I'd say that fear of failure is good when it's reasonable chance of unacceptable failure. People with great safety nets under them keep saying how you should not fear failure (and our civilization is quite good at making safety nets for certain people). Sometimes failure means loss of limb, home, life.
@@randomnobodovsky3692 i dont think she is saying you should be totaly fearless and start jumping down stairs and stuff. but dont let fear hold you back. i am a very anxious person and i am in a job i hate, cause i am to anxious to try something new. i had not one but two women i really liked but i banished them from my life cause i thought i wasnt good enough but later i found out, they liked me. there is a place for fear in our lives when its reasonable. but to fear everything and not advancing can also ruining your life and kill your happiness.
You are right. And she is also right. Overcoming fear takes practice. But sometimes your fears are legitimate. And sometimes they're not.
But failure isn't something that should be feared. No one has ever become successful without failure. Failure is not the opposite of success, but an inevitability on the way to success. Success is overcoming failure. It's like when you play a game you might get beat by the boss the first few times. You keep trying until you overcome him.
Oh, noooooo...
If I wasn't afraid I would immediately visit my mom go outside again breath some fresh air. Asking random people how there day's been going. Thinking about it already makes me feel more alive. Thank you for you're motivation and perspective on it.
In April I completed a degree in visual arts… all negativity from people and myself be damned.
Fear is Real; you can't just fake fear will go away. You have to overcome by doing what is needed.
Thanks for the great video, Georgia! It’s actually reaffirmed a lot of the things that my own therapist has talked to me about, and I realize now how seriously I should be taking it.
Also, if I may, I’ve come across a line from Dostoevsky that’s helped me a lot: “Fear is simply the consequence of every lie.” So I think it might help, when we’re afraid, what are we lying to ourselves about? Or what lies have been told to us and we have accepted as truth? Hopefully, that’s some good food for thought for everyone else.
that is an interesting perspective on fear thank you
Brilliant video, thank you for making it
Something about what you're saying hits all the right places.
Thank you so much for this video, I really needed it.
You look like a bloody good therapist to me.... I'd express myself however the hell I wanted...id care less about people pleasing..id show how I felt& not cover it..I could go on after so many years of an anxiety disorder..we all come good in the end..it's a sometimes crazy game with growth, transformation & awakening..however we get there💥🌈🙏x
Thank you for your advice. It made me feel a lot better.
Your video made me realize that one thing that happens to me quite often is that I get scared or anxious before doing something, which for one reason or another sounds menacing in my mind. Then I do it, and everything goes smoothly. So, while feeling relieved and happy, I think “I was so stupid to be afraid! Why was I afraid? I just made things more difficult for myself”. And while that is true to a certain extent, I realize now it is unfair. I was afraid, so what? With the informations I had at the time, that was my reaction. It’s easy to be bold once things are clear and under control. I am allowed to be afraid and it wasn’t stupid.
Sorry if I went off-topic, I felt the need to write down these thoughts as I was having them in my brain, to try and organize them!
You are such a sweet person, thanks and keep doing what you’re doing 💪 (loved your Arcane reactions videos, I’ll add a couple characters in the poll I’d like to see your analysis on!)
Thank you for sharing that! It's really sweet & true. Thanks for that
I can really relate to those fears. I've been studying at university for a few years, but most nights when I lay down and think about the next day I get incredibly anxious to go to university, although I've gone there so many times and there is nothing there that has ever harmed me before.
I hope your fear and anxiety has gotten better with time, but hey, it's just as okay if it hasn't!
Great video on over coming fear this is very helpful. Plus this is why I subscribed to your channel.
The most clever therapist ever. Thank you!
aww thanks
Depending on what you do, one mistake could take a literal lifetime to undo. Overcoming fear at work or to be more social is one thing, asking for fearlessness is something completely different.
Probably the most effective delivery I've come across on the subject!! AMAZING content delivered with such passion and authority.
Thank you for posting the video . I really appreciate it !
If I wasnt afraid, I ll ignore the ill behaviour of people towards me and work with enhanced focus
I’m afraid to work. I’m afraid they will get impatient and I get nervous.
I like her because imagine somebody try to show you the road she don't tell you what to do don't be afraid to claim respect for others don't be afraid to make your own actions always behind with big support 🙏
I will be be happy and relaxed without the fear of being judged!!
best video on yt on this topic. ❤ thank you!!!
im in debt by thousands of £ struggling with family who have abondened me ,this has slighty helped actully so many worries and fears ,alwsys looking over my shoulder i have now subcribed im really struggling ,having turned to drink and drugs
You're great, i even can't find exact words to describe how much it does mean to me to watch your videos. I was going through really hard childhood where i got many traumas and I'm literally afraid of everything that mature people do every single day and includes social interactions like post my photos or exhibit in front of others or just to be myself near them. So what i really want to say is thank you for your helping content and please, if you could, make small video about sociophobia🙏🏻
Thank you so much , I needed that
U talk so to the point..ND realistic way ..really it encouraged me helped me..gave me strength hope....thanks lot dear❤
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much! Going into my first year teaching… 😊
Thank you for this video, it was very encouraging to me. I have known that I struggled with self-doubt a lot, but you gave me a lot of reasons why I shouldn't feel that way and be so afraid to step out of my comfort zone.
Feelings are ok. They are a part of you. You have to accept them but not let them control you.
She looks and sounds like this one character from a tv show that I can’t name. Thanks for the arvice
I seriously needed this. Thank you for what you do 💕
If I wasn't afraid I would be on Billboard top 10.
I would commit to working out daily, learning German daily, and writing a fiction book. And fill my brain with happy thoughts. Let's see what my life will look like in a year.
I'm going to do this. Wish me luck! Remind me of this comment a year from now!
Thank you, I needed this.
Every day I feel afraid to go to work or go outside, it’s a really strong feeling of fear, I can see it’s an unfounded irrational fear but in the moment I can’t rationalize myself to calm down and not be scared so I’m always on guard and tense so much that I get muscle spasms when I get home and try to relax.
Aight I'm going to practice singing now! Thanks for the help!
awesome !! let us know how it goes
“If we dont even try we have failed anyways” .. this really made me think 😅
Every time death is mentioned im terrified of losing my sister, i could say i don't know why but i do, she is everything ive ever had even when i never had anyone, ive never had anyone even as a little kid, i cannot imagine life without her, and everytime i'm rude to her i regret it so much. I hope she knows i love her.
Absolutely brilliant teaching. Thank you for sharing😊
Fear is the prison of the heart and bravery is its salvation
Thank YOU....I fear, but most of it is gone, I'm old, old fixes most things
This opened my eyes somehow.
If I wasn't afraid, I'd finally go for it!
Perhaps this will sound a little odd but one of my biggest fears is kinda my favourite thing in the world - my friends. Especially now I'm not in a good position when it comes to my friendships at all. I know I should start overcoming it but I'm not sure where to start but I know that's something that I have to decide and do for my sake. Amazing video! I already send it to a friend of mine that I think need to hear this.
Not at all Odd its very common and I can fully understand it. Those around us are of upmost importance. Thank you for being part of my community
If I wasn't so afraid, I would be able to be truly who I am.
I hope you get to do that for yourself
Thankyou..im quite in always fearful heart so i want to be more free and happy so i have decided to watch it daily to remind myself and challenge myself so that my fears will go away more ❤❤
damn I'm so impressed thank you teacher , I filled 2 pages and a half , your speech is full of wisdom and it really convinced and shifts towards taking an action and get improve thank you so much I subscribed and liked the video because it really helped me , thank you again
means so much to me that is what i hope to do
The thing I would do if I wasn't afraid is the thing I'm doing now but in baby steps. I would put myself out there as a creative entertainer. I'm starting to do it now, but I still press stop a lot more than I press go.
Your explanation of learning by doing on a neurobiological level, with the neuron bridges and such, just gave me a revelation.
Idioms, examples, analogies etc usually have no effect on me. But an explanation like this, based on actual science blew my mind!! I mean, of course, that's how the brain works, but I never thought of it in this context.
I'm looking to get therapy soon, but was too afraid (hah) up until now, because I expected it to be a waste of time. But now I'm honestly excited to get going. Thank you so much
Thats wonderful news I hope you find a great therapist and feel happier =)
Great video keep up the great work
I am learning to code and can SO relate to this - when you code you need to tinker with your product to get it juuust right, but you WILL get it wrong and it WILL NOT work for a very long time, which is very frustrating. And you cannot just read the steps and memorise them, you need to actually tinker in order to learn, because theory is one thing, but when you are actually inside that evironment, all of a sudden things seem sooooo little like that instruction video or book you just watched/read and a lot of people just give up, because things get hard. But the thing is - you cannot get better without struggling and/or failing. So do tell that inner goblin to stuff it, because believe you me - you CAN learn and improve. ;-) Things you do not fully understand yet will click once you have pushed on and gotten the proper context (e.g. when I was still learning the basics I was trying to do a thing and got frustrated because it didn't work, but chose to "soldier on", watched more instructions and found a presentation of a function which let me do exactly what I wanted. you are not dumb, you just don't see the entire picture yet.)
Dude this made me cry wth
I once got told if it feels scary just do it today I woke up scared of people judging me and I got up went out yes I was scared and realized people don't care they got 1 million things going on in there life
I have to jump off a cliff every time just to leave the house. It's been decades and no, it hasn't gotten better. I just force myself off the cliff every time..every day. It still terrifies me, drives up my heart rate and bp. I need real help but it seems to be nowhere.
I juts had thought that i needed to work out with my fear of failure which is now holding me back from trying to get to the next step in my career. If i didnt have fear i would go on a draft a curriculum and start looking for jobs. I hope i can work with that and get better at just jumping in the pool, because if i keep starig at it nothing will change.
I am learning to drive a car and it is so difficult for me, I started 6 months ago and I still haven't take an exam cause I feel I am not ready. I received a lot of critics from my teachers and all my friends are surprised that it takes so long time for me, and it feels like tension as well. After watching your video I realized that the only thing I can do (and wanna do) is just to keep trying.❤
This is very good thank you.
Awesome.
Thank you so much,
Cheers!!!
This is actually really helpful! Coming from a girl who really doesn’t find “ motivating” videos very motivating usually!
That is such a wonderful compliment thanks = )
Im very glad you made this video
If I wasn't so afraid of leaving my safe zone I'd probably make amazing art, so I'mma start working on that today
I would be the hero the world needed if I wasn't afraid.
U have said this so fucking well I wish I could have a personal conversation with you. Ur so wise. Thank u for this
I want to let you know. You are a super help to me. Bless you and thank you.
Thank you so much, it was helpful
Fear is an advisor who sees everything in shades of black. He's not always wrong but he lacks perspective. Listen to it, think about what it said, don't let it make the decisions.
beautifully said
@@GeorgiaDow Thank you :)
I would start filmmaking and working out and i would study and i would probably go to my grandparents more often
I’m mentally tired, already @ 29. My Mom just offered to pay for a psychologist for me. But I’m afraid to speak.
I love helping others, but I’m afraid of me.
I’d talk to someone that would listen… I’ve tried before in high school twice, but failed.
I absolutely love you, sorry had to say it. What you say the way you say it makes so much sense to me.
Sounds like things I always tell beginner artists or also doubting artist who aren't beginners anymore. I always say, that beneatch every great artwork lie at least a hundred torn papers and every single on of them is a part of the master piece in the end. You just don't see them, because they are just hidden behind the master pieces you admire so much... So even if you think you are bad, tell yourself, one day a Master Piece will also lie above your torned papers. But even if I tell things like this to others, I fail to follow my own wannabe wise words. I am scared of almost everything in life, even of myself sometimes.
What would I do, if I would not be afraid? I have no idea. I got these anxieties and fears during my childhood. It's long ago now, but even if my life changed from back then, it so often seems, as nothing would have ever changed. I try and try and it doesn't seem to lead me anywhere. What I try to tell... I can't imagine how it would be to not be afraid. There are things I'd like to do... trying to make my own videogame for example... I started some in the past, but never got far. I have no endurance. I always break up in the middle of the process... or before I started at all, not only with games also with drawings and... well... everything else. Batteries empty... not refillable... even a break doesn't bring it back. Don't know where to take it from. Whats left are doubts and fears... the base I seem to live on. Sometimes I overcome them, but it never lasts long... Always fall back... When a day comes, where I seem to be okay... I get scared of being okay, as it's a terrain I don't know... Don't know what to do, when no thoughts are swirling through my brain. It feels like something is missing, like nothing is left... the fear... the doubts, and then there they are again... It's a circle... How to get away from fears, if you even fear to not being fearful? Does it even make sense?
Anyway, got myself something to write and started jounaling. Started to practice again. Started a while ago for the sake of my health, but... well... endurance... Now you said it helps against depression too, I try and start again and try to keep at it this time, which is the hardest part of it. I need to do something and your Videos helped me a bit, to get to move myself. Hope something will work. However, thanks already.
And sorry if my english may sound strange sometimes, I'm not a native english speaker.
