I don't know why you fear failure so much...
ummm, I'll get to that

You fail every time you don't say anything
ummm yeah failure without trying must therefore be different to failure when you do try...

seems to me like you're embracing and welcoming it.
welcoming/embracing failure, am I.. I guess in a way you're right.. but the model in my head(we model the world in different ways), failure is only failure if you try to do something then don't achieve.. but I get what you're saying
(If one doesn't try, you fail anyways) You Miss 100% of The Shots You Don't Take - Wayne Gretzky
But I'm thinking I am stopping myself for some reason or in someway protecting myself whether it be from the pain of failure, rejection, social embarrassment, or whatever.. A lot of this is born of ISSUES

You have confidence issues, we all know it. I'm sure your aware the only way to get past this is to do it. You don't seem confident enough to just dive right into the deep end, but taking baby steps is fine for you.

Step 1: Walk outside and say hi to everyone you see.

?! I'm not doing that
Quote:
Just say hi. Don't have anything to follow up with. Don't try and start a conversation. Only say hi to people who won't be around you for prolonged periods of time to avoid any awkwardness.
that there that's deep end stuff... and I cant even frigging swim.. ok ok shallow end stuff but still I'm afraid of the water. there's sharks in the water, lady sharks and they bite. Fuck...
I totally see why this would be seen as a baby step to some..
