Bro, I'm alot like you. You're problem is probably the fear of the unknown. Atleast, that's mine. I'm afraid of what I dont know, I'm afraid of what might happen if I may fail. But ulitmately, you will never know the unknown unless you face it. It's the only way. You have to come to a point where you are ok with making mistakes and fucking up. Because that's how you learn and grow. It's gonna happen regardless of what you do. So, you just gotta take your chances and not look back. You'll be taking baby steps all the way there and may never get there...you need to start taking leaps of faith. This faith is derived from you and it's about you. This faith is, how much do you trust yourself, how well will you react to what happens later in life. If you cant trust you're gut instinct, no matter what you do, you will not make it far, end of story. Anyone who ever did anything big didnt do stuff without failing or taking risk. I'm not always one to talk because like I said, I too fear failing a great deal. But I mean, what else am I supposed to do? If I dont attempt it, then I'm certain to fail, and if I try but fall short, well then atleast I can have the peace of mind and condense and reevaluate my options in life.
