Scared To Try New Things - Failure and Anxiety

Trust me when I say... I'm scared to try new things. Especially when it's something I'm passionate about.

I have anxiety (rapid thinking in particular), and I can't tell you amount of times I didn't do something because I was afraid. I was afraid of failing, or other people not liking it, or it not working out. What I do know though is that I would be so much farther with achieving my goals if I did the things I was scared to do.

So here I am, shooting this video with a new setup, outside, and adding a new thumbnail to it. Trust me, just typing this out is giving me anxiety, but I'm doing it. I hope that this video inspires you to attack your fears head on so you can grow and learn more about yourself!

This supports me and my passion for doing YouTube fulltime, but most importantly, it helps me continue to work on growing this caring and loving community. Let’s continue to show people that they are not alone in mental health!

I was having some serious anxiety while I was shooting this video. I hope that the message I was trying to tell came across.

I make excuses everyday 😞. I feel you. I literally battle my mind everyday regarding goals and things I want to try. And I’m 40 now.

Step outside of your comfort zone, #You'reNotAlone

I’m having crazy anxiety just trying to learn guitar. I wanted to play for years but I was always scared I might fail so I never tried. I always stayed in the comfort zone and just played piano since I have been playing as a child. Well today I bought my first guitar (used one) and I’m gonna try to learn.
I can’t let fear stop me from enjoying and living a happy life.

I love that you put yourself out there and face your fears! I go through social anxiety and I have to constantly tell myself: First off, 99% of people I THINK are judging me don't really come out and say what I'm fearing. Secondly, if that's the case, then why do I care? So on my self-awareness journey I'm constantly telling myself to try to not care about what people think. But it is soooo hard and I'm glad that I can relate with someone like you!

In less than 48 hours I’ll be leaving home to go live at this school with a bunch of other young people for 4 months... I’ll be surrounded by people 24/7. I’m freaking terrified. This video helped me calm down a bit. Thanks for the reminder of all the possibilities you will miss out on if you don’t try something new.

Also... don’t get hit


Edit: I’m back home again :) possibly the best time of my life

"What if I don't try it". Great advice.

[LegionOfWeirdos]

My biggest thing is job interviews. Terrifying.

I needed this 🙏🏿
A lot of times I feel like my anxiety stops me from doing anything. And it’s really hard to stop thinking about the what if’s.

thank you for this message! 💕

My names Caleb, I'm 25. I make excuses for everything. It's always "well I need this so I do that" I get the thing I say I "needed" but I still don't start. I needed this. Thank you

[MrExDArte]

I really like how genuine this video is! I can see how nervous and excited you are at the same time, cuz you're afraid yet you're trying and overcoming your fears anyway! It is really inspiring.

[nickdrury]

Don't get hit! Loved the video man. I looked up this video because I was afraid to try something new. I'm afraid that it's going to be waste of time and money. Making up excuses is just going to keep you from advancing in your life.

Bro you're really brave. A true champ. Keep inspiring others brother

[kingkaf]

Great talk, I totally agree. I've been trying to do new things I want to but I know that would also make me feel uncomfortable.

[valerie]
