Fear of rejection, disappointment, embarassment, and failure.
But isn't that what life is anyway? By trying to avoid our fears, dont we simply waste our lives?

The greatest obstacle in living a full life is not fear but apathy. As you acquire more and more possesions you will soon find out that the lesser you become free. And with this comes apathy. You lose trust, you lose faith, you become insensitive to others. You don't really fear them, you have everything that you can buy. What hinders you is your obstructed view of life that is brought about by apathy.

Yes, yes and yes. Fear is unavoidable but manageable with trust for the simple reason we can not read other peoples thoughts and know for certain what their intentions are and where we stand in the scheme of things. Loosing trust and faith increases fear and controls every decision we make and action we take. Fear is the root of many evils yet somewhat an integral part to humanity.

it may well be an inhumane society that apathetically allowed teens to commit suicide. we attempt to help regularly. I do do not forget that we ought to continually possibly do more beneficial to help, yet i'm hoping society is a minimum of gradually convalescing alongside those strains. As for elderly persons or adults with continual, debilitating soreness, ailment or who take position to be suffering critically for another reason -- society does no longer placed people in detention center or detention center for attempting suicide. Society would discourage suicide, and we would stress a suicidal individual to grow to be a resident in a company for the mentally ill. yet maximum persons out in society who're wanting to end their personal lives are not any further prevented from doing it. many people do be triumphant. The saddest aspect for my area is at the same time as it is useless.

it depends on the person. some of us don't have these fears. it's about personality... some of us may be avoidant, some of us may be more outgoing...
