Topic: Eliminate fear and learn new things. (Read 355 times)

Fear is part of every organism not just for humans, and it limits us from what we can really do but we can only reach that position by overcoming the fear by going through it and it is the only possible way we can not fear about the thing in the future.

And the reason why we fear is simple and it has relation to the survival instinct that we evolves with us all the time.

sometimes others are just afraid to try first before reacting , but in the sooner as they try and they will find that it is helpful and worth trying .
there are occasions that I myself becomes one of those but I made sure that fear will never let me down , in the past I have fear of heights in which i cannot even look from Second floor of the building , but now as I worked in Elevator company back then i conquered my fear and now I am not afraid of heights.

every person has its own fear , some is being hard hearted and can fight their fear yet they are fearing something in the past at least .
so there is no need for eliminating fears instead we need to bear with it , use our fear to be more stronger because the more we understand this fear is the more we are learning how to handle this.
correct , if we will not fearing anything then even fire will be our bedding and will make us die immediately , so learn how to fear this and that but also learn how and why you should not be affected.

You’re right. Fear's just part of being human and that FOMO can mess with decisions big time. Many people end up making risky money moves because they're afraid of missing out on the profit train. We just have to balance the excitement with some solid research to avoid those regrettable choices.It’s okay to be afraid, let’s not just allow those fears to block our minds to make better decisions.

Fear, as a defense mechanism, protects us from the world around us, and from the actions that we can commit. Sometimes this mechanism blocks everything, even what can make us happier. On the one hand, it turns out that this is for good, and on the other hand, it is harmful, so any human characteristics need to be dealt with and tried to be managed. In life, a person goes through a lot of tests, which strengthens him and if he works on himself, then any fear becomes controlled, life becomes easier.

Being scared of new things is basically the fear of the unknown we don’t know what’s on the other side of the door is it good? Is it bad? Will it do us harm or will it benefit us?

it’s so much easier said than done some people are much braver because that’s how they were wired and that’s how they grew up meanwhile people who were constantly questioned or traumatized probably will have a hard time accepting new things as they are scared of what this might bring them

sometimes it does not necessarily help to push someone into something they’re scared of because sometimes they end up even more scared and they wouldn’t even want to try new other things although i do know that some people really need the push but also sometimes it’s okay to give them some time and let them process their fears in their own time

OP you see fear can never really be eradicated from the life of humans no matter how they try hard to eliminate fear in their life. Have you ever wondered why the eyes blinks? Is as a result of fear because it knows that it is a sensitive part of the human body so if anything peradventurely touches it so hard, it might go blind. What am trying to say to an extent is that we all are human, blood runs through our veins so there is really this mortal feelings we have within our self and there is no way we can live without fear.

Sometimes, you don't have to blame people that finds it hard to embrace new ideas or innovation because if you have really tried something new and it failed you then you will understand the reason why some people are so adamant to venture into something that is new to the environment, and another factor that causes fear again is falling into numerous fraudulent individuals. If someone tries something new that they were persuaded to join and at the end of the day they got scammed, it will be difficult to convince such a person when the genuine one comes up because they will still entertain that fear of not running into the wrong hands.

Further more, people values results before they can be convinced because you can't be preaching for people to venture into something new when you the preacher has nothing to show for in other to convince people to also do what you do so I don't give blame to people that want to see results before they can be convinced to join something new to them.

Though fear has always been the greatest enemy of human because man would have done more exploits if not for the spirit of fear because often times, when we want to try something new, we come up with the fear that what if we fail while trying to create something new. And again people are always afraid of what the society would tell them if they try and fail so sometimes if we must achieve some certain things in life, we should pay less attention to what the society would say if things doesn't work out the way we expected.

It is part of human nature that we fear something that we don't know yet. Looking back in the past, Bitcoin wasn't exempted with that nature from all of us.

Many have been skeptic, what's with this Bitcoin and Blockchain and how they're going to revolutionize the world and the technology sector. Not until we start to see that it's growing so fast and it skyrocketed in value and that's when many became interested on it.

I agree on this, there were a lot of internet scams in the internet for all of the times since the internet has been founded. And that's also another reason why people were and still are skeptic with Bitcoin. We can't blame them but they will be left by the train.

There's no other remedy to combat the fear but to accept the challenge wholeheartedly. Once you go out from your comfort zone and face your new challenges, your own fears will start to vanish slowly and replace it with high motivation and confidence. This is already proven by those who succeeded who started from the scratch, as they never let their fear manipulate them but dare to conquer and beat them.

Same thing when applied to a newbie in bitcointalk. If you don't start learning and gaining knowledge, you will continue to be your old self who is less knowledgeable and less experience in the market, because you chose your fears to control your own self when you should be doing it the opposite way.

Fear is not a good/bad thing, it’s a human emotion, we cannot do away with it but we can try our best to control it. There is a type of fear that is common among the crypto community, it's called the fear of missing out (FOMO).  In my opinion, FOMO is one of the major factors why people lose money in the crypto markets, the fear of not making money when others are making it has driven many into making risky financial decisions without doing sufficient research.

Fear is indeed a natural enemy of humans, we are bound to have this fear of attempting new things and ideas with not wanting to face the outcome as we can not tell if it be of good or bad outcome.
We need to break out from the chains of fear in order to be successful and acquire new things, I see this life as full of unavoidable risk no matter how we try to manage the risk but not all the steps we take becomes successful and this is what makes many avoiding to take another step.

If there is a traumatic experience, should we let fear to get total control of us? 
We face unforseen circumstances that makes us incucate fear in some way as it is normal to do so, but harbouring fear for too long instead of attempting ways to overcome becomes the biggest mistake. The answer is we should not let fear get the better part of us, there should be limit to our fear where next we take the bold step.

Have we been criticized in anyway when we try to learn something new?
Yes, not everyone will give you a thumbs up when you try doing something new. It is always advisable to share your vision not with just anybody but those alone who are in or have an idea on what you intend doing, so as to help and encourage you.

Are there any experience of failure when we start something new?
Why not! it is common to experience failures, not once or twice but many as never imagined. This is were consistency and learning from past mistakes comes in. So do not expect your journey to be extremely smooth with no tragic experience

We fear of new things because we might not face the consequences, like I have some funds with me and I wanted to invest them somewhere or buy an Iphone but at the same time I do know that I am fighting a case in court and I might need money there and if I lose I have to give money and if I bought the Iphone or invested the money I have. I might not be able to fulfill the amount I have to give to court.

This is a decision time, what will you choose, If I were in this place, then ofcourse I will wait and keep some patience and will wait for the final results from the court. We make decisions on the basis of consequences we want or think we can face or we think that we can't face.

I don't take traumatic fear as something real, I hope I don't have to face it anytime. God save us all from this type of fear. I did afraid of deep sea where there is darkness and I afraid of heights.
You are right and I can't agree more with you, the biggest fear we should have, seeing ourselves exactly at the same point where we are after a year. I took this quote personally and started to work on my self, I try to motivate myself for any kind of work (legal ones) so I would improve myself and don't see myself at the same position after one year.

Anyone who is on this forum is a person I consider not to be fearful of engaging discussions surrounding new and innovative technologies Bitcoin being inclusive. We are afraid to try new hardware ASIC miner, Bitcoin security hardware devices , you can to the list.

Only a bold and daring person can do this. Bitcoiners are not afraid they are just crazy enough to believe that Bitcoin and it's emerging technology is transcending human logic and comprehension.They chose faith over fear and doubt.

As human we are bond to fear. As a matter fact " the fear of the unknown is the beginning of wisdom" sometimes we need to fear for us not to fall into trap or unknown dangers. While sometimes we need to try and remove the fear of failure,  because the fear of failure is the reason of humans not progressing in some certain things.

Due to previous experience. So many people have fall into trouble because of not doing proper research or findings before they went into a particular thing and they failed couple of times and that made them to be careful in what ever thing they do.  Just like me I have made couples of mistakes when I bought my first coin and due to that I am always carefull when sending coin to an address because any slighted mistake you end up sending to a wrong address. And that is the fear of Loosing fund.

I agree with you, Op. If this fear of something new is excessive in context, it will definitely have a bad impact. Because excessive fear is not good for anyone to continue to have. Because fear can indeed hinder progress in any field. And crypto is indeed a great example. The reason is, crypto money originating from the digital era is still feared and suspected by many people. However, this fear does not need to be exaggerated. Because by studying it first then we can conclude whether it is good or bad (Crypto).

Fear of the unknown can make one miss out from his opportunity by not giving it a trail. Learning something new depends on the mindset of the person. Some people have open mindset to learn something new everyday so that they can improve their knowledge but some people have stagnant mindset, such people are not ready to learn anything new because they believe that they know it all and they are ok with the way they are.

It is not everyone that will adopt bitcoin because there must people people who will criticize bitcoin to help it have more firm after when bitcoin has gone in opposite direction to what it was critize about. Bitcoin is a new technology and mostly the youths are the ones adopting it, in ten years from now more people will benefit from bitcoin potential because the older ones will pass away and the younger ones will become adults. Don't let fear lead you to make the wrong decisions but rather control your fear because fear is man's major weakness.

Don't eliminate fear but rather make it as tool for you to have some doubts about everything you want to do. Its also helpful so that you can do further more research and can think about more nicer before trying to go something especially if we talk about investment.

But keep learning new things everyday since this is actually what we need to became more better investor. Also don't rush everything especially your decision towards what you want to do since that's how people fail since they always think about taking the risk will reward them later on but they fail to realize that they also need to take proper precaution to avoid such unfortunate losses.

We are not afraid to take a new step if it does not negatively affect our reality. Whoever is accustomed to entertainment will be afraid to start something serious, such as studying or learning. Whoever returns to work will be afraid of taking a vacation. Whoever is accustomed to a job will be satisfied with a small salary for fear of losing it. And so life is, no matter how much we develop, our desires are simple. Selfishness will still exist if there is no other choice.

Fear have it's purpose in our lives, fear isn't completely bad like that, you just have to learn to overcome it, and sometimes the fear in you is what will keep you out of dangers, it's like trying to take a underground passage way back home and you see some figures in the dark, if you overcome your fear and proceed you can get stabbed and robbed, but if you listen to your fear and run, you've save yourself.

Tmoonz, fear isn't the greatest enemy of man, the greatest enemy of man is SIN, and this consists of greed, Gluttony, Lust, Pride etc, fear is a natural emotion that alerts humans to the presence of danger or threat of harm, God gives human this fear for this purpose, know when to run and know when to fight.

A warrior must not always stand a fight, there must be time for him to retreat and fight another day, depending on the situation, this is the best way to have a longer life, we all have fear in us and it's good if you use it proper, the fear of succeeding in life struggles is the type you need to face and fight, it's different from trying to survive a danger.

Fear will not allow you to go far in your altcoins investment and you need to eliminate it by using some of the money you have in your bank account to buy some potential altcoins when their price decrease and hold for a long time, which is the best way to achieve income that will change your story in altcoins investment. When you take your time to know so many things that related to decentralized currency, and how users profits from them in the market, it show that fear cannot hold you not to progress in the community. You can see that there are still some opportunity in the market to buy Bitcoin and altcoins if you have the money, because the price is still low compare to what will appear next year 2024 which will be for the favour of those that will use their opportunity well.
