Intro
There have been several takes on this online, and over the years. But I wanted to add my take to the mix. Especially since I have probably a more Blackpilled view of the fear of failure.
Why it is stupid
It is not only stupid, but also damaging to be afraid of failing.
Why ?
Well, let us look at why you are afraid in the first place.
When it comes to the blackpill and looksmaxxing, most people are afraid to fail because they have a deep , subconscious fear they won't escape inceldom. And the thought of tryinig but being unable to escape their suffering after doing everything they can to ascend, is a painful idea. And that is valid, it can be a scary prospect for sure!
But in their mind, maybe even your mind, it is believed to be better to not move and no do anything at all, then try and escape at all!
So in other words, they prefer their odds of 100% failure over a definite sub 100% chance of failure! Why? Well because they decide they will fail, they are in control of their failure and they can cope that it is their choice. People don't like leaving things to chance, which is where this irrational behaviour stems from.
Now for an analogy, this is the same as breaking your arm and doing nothing about it because the doctor may have a small chance of not being able to completely repair it. So it is better to not even try to mend it, because you don't wanna get your hopes up and fail. Atleast you know by not mending it what to expect moving forward right?
Does this make any sense?
Abso-fucking-lutely not!
Your take is wrong, dead fucking wrong!
But it feels rational
I understand after years of conditioning yourself to not fail (to protect your ego that you never fail, and that you are in full control of your lifes outcomes) can make it seem very real that you don't wanna fail, or failure just isn't worth it .
But I will tell you, logically speaking you should be scared.
Shit scared of not trying, because although trying and failing may happen, it probably won't.
Your odds are better by just trying than not trying at all- and realistically you are already at rock bottom as a man. You don't have much to lose!
But if you don't do anything, no one is coming to rescue you,
Nobody cares , so your life WILL definitely get worse and worse, and then you die filled with regret and unfulfilled potential
That should scare you, and maybe even make you mad. And I want you to be afraid and mad about this!
How can you call yourself a man, or claim it is over if you haven't even tried?
SO sure , here is the nice, fluffy, pat on the back section.
Your fear of failure is real, and it is valid too!
But that fear should be hundreds of times smaller than your fear of dying with regret, unfulfilled potential and having led a life that was objectively shit. And not because it had to be, but because you choose to protect your ego from playing the game with chance, and hard work.
Wake the fuck up!
