Action is the cure for fear.
Fear sees obstacles.. faith see opportunities
Fear sees problems.. faith sees possibilities
Fear sees stumbling blocks.. faith sees stepping stones
Anyways, heres my question.
I'm a fearful person. I am very negative.. And its probably why my relationship didn't work. The question is.. How do you shake yourself from the fear and have more faith? How do I love myself first so I can love others when I don't even know how to begin? I've been struggling with this for awhile now.
One fear I have is that I'll fall into the pit that I climbed out of when I was with my former girlfriend. Hang with the wrong people and start the cycle over again.. The only tempting thing about going back to that is that at least I won't be alone. It is said that I'll always have my friends, but I need people in my face... I've always been like that...
Taking action is nice and grand - but I don't like diving into things without proper preperation.. Or is that the bad thing?

It sounds like to me that you put other people ahead of your needs and when your needs are not meet you turn negative. Since i do not know you I am guessing, however my instincts have been pretty accurate in the past. I agree that turning to God will help you learn to love yourself being more Christ like will help you be a servant for other people. Fear and Faith have the same definition Believing in something unknown.
To Find out what you want make a list of the things that you do not want. Once the list is complete go back over it line by line and write down the opposite this will become a list of your wants tape it to you mirror in the bathroom also keep a copy by your bed and a copy with you at all times read it first thing in the morning when you wake up. Read it while you are getting ready in the morning read it at lunch time then before you go to sleep read it out loud to yourself. in 45 days you Life will be GREAT!

being prepared for things isn't always a bad thing, but there are times when you just need to take that chance and be spontaneous,, I know where you are coming from, i always looked at all the bad things that could happen if i tryed something new, of course not everything is going to be a success, not everything always goes the way you want it to,, but how are you going to know if you don't at least try.. "fear sees obstacles" try to conquer these obstacles, if you succeed you will feel great and if you don't at least you know you tryed and wont wonder " what if" "fear sees problems" there are always solutions to problems, take the time to think them out. "fear sees stumbling blocks" if you stumble pick your self up and keep on going, don't give in.. when you think of something negative stop and try to think of something positive about the situation,, it is a hard world and a long road to travel, but keep on going and it will all be worth it in the long run

The answer is to love GOD first, THEN yourself. You chase after God, and all His blessings will chase you.
I promise, I was in your place. Stay focused on Christ and who He is in your life.
Also, remember it's not what you do for others ar what they think about you----
It's who you are, in Christ.
You mentioned a pit. You know satan is working on your mind, overtime,..especially since you have mentioned religion.
F...False
E...Evidence
A...Appearing
R...Real
Satan is the author of fear. Don't let him put those negative thoughts in your head. Stop them before you finish a bad thought. You KNOW you don't need to go back to the group you hung out with.
Have you tried church. There ARE nice people at church. Visit till you find one that is JUST RIGHT FOR YOU!

dude, life is not that complex... it is a little more relaxed, when you relax a bit... all bad things give you wisdom... but shutting yourself up does not make life better... say a toast and get on with it buddy!!! preparation is something that is important in projects of financial value, like in engineering.. but not in relationships... just meet new people, and see where the tide takes you... dont be scared to meet total strangers...

ok - your "accusations" adverse to God: Jealousy: Your determine will be jealous of you an same way the Bible describes God's jealousy in case you determined that you needed your perfect buddy to be a drug broking service and furnish you with free drugs for all time till you die and they don't ever see you lower back! So, no contest there! Anger: See above - your father and mom will be very indignant too, yet indignant because of YOUR loss - some anger is superb and by no skill a sin - anger at incorrect is perfect! So, no contest there! homicide: the first individual born turned right into a assassin - Cain murdered his brother able and God did not kill him, yet enable him stay. God is amazingly, very affected individual. He does deal in judgement besides the undeniable fact that, yet, guess what - He created all and has that authority (we do not) - homicide is likewise finished with a particular reason consisting of revenge and hatred and this does no longer be conscious to God in His judgements. God does see the foolishness of homicide and the motivations that are behind it consisting of the attack on His introduction - it makes Him so unhappy and indignant for good reason. homicide is all about the spiritually darkish reason behind it - each little thing is about reason really! i do no longer worship God out of concern in any respect! I worship God because he's all-understanding, all-sensible and that i favor someone like that as a "buddy" so i'm able to have a a lot more advantageous attitude in existence. God is amazingly forgiving. All we favor to do is note of who we are as His introduction and that there is wish of all issues turning out to be new - no longer like it really is now! So faith and love is opposite of delight and concern - i'm after the first 2! Our delight is what creates concern (and vice versa)! faith creates love (and vice versa)! faith is comparable to self assurance and self assurance is in uncomplicated phrases extremely contemporary in like to boot as freedom. delight is about being protecting and opposite of being humble - so we bypass no the position with that and concern is the best result! - we change into afraid because we extremely ARE going no the position w/o love (and need). real, each little thing about God won't be able to be favourite - yet like in Jesus' coaching and parables, He provides EXAMPLES which will understand a touch of what he needs us to understand! My motivation IS the nature that's contemporary in God - no longer something else!

Fear and Fate airn't really the same. But fear is what your mind thinks of and fate is something that you just can't avoid.
