How do you overcome your fears?

Question

I just read a good quote "Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain."

Answer 1

face them and have a good laugh

Answer 2

I usually just hide on the inside and the outside. It's not the best thing to do, because I face them eventually, but I'm scared to face my fears.

Answer 3

I overcome my fears by forcing myself to handle them. I fear spiders, and I try to not freak out when I am near one. I'll even take the innitiative in "getting rid" of them in the house.

Answer 4

i think the quote Say's it all death is that one fear we cant overcome

Answer 5

Like others said, jump right in. You'll die sooner or later anyway, so why live in fear -each time you face one, you'll overcome it and be a bit more free.

Answer 6

yeah, facing the fear is the biggest way to overcome it.. that's easier said than done in a lot of cases though..

Answer 7

Well most of the time the "true" fear is actually being afraid of what might happen....not what really will.
You have nothing to fear but fear itself....kinda like that one.

Answer 8

Hmmmm, that's an interesting point of view so how do you explain FDR's " The Only thing we have to fear is fear itself? "

Answer 9

I just keep on going and get thur it. I don't back down. Living in fear is no life at all.

Answer 10

Try not to fall face first into the thing that you're afraid of.....keep your head up and move foreward no matter how bad you wanna run the other way.

Answer 11

Exactly. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Easier said than done, i know!
