Facing The Fear Of Losing
Who wants to be a looser? No one. Losing feels like we aren't worthy enough. It takes a toll on our self esteem. Hence, we choose not trying at all over our chances of failing!
As a result, we stop ourselves from taking any risks and try new things, which stop us to explore our full potential and reach growth which we have capabilities of.
Good news is we can learn to accept failures and detach our self worth from it.

Changing Perspective On Failure
Failure is a natural part of life. It doesn't mean you are a loser, it means you tried.
In this day and age of the Internet, where tons of dopamine is just a click away, it's a rare trait to try something that you are not fully sure of winning. Give yourself credit for it.
Change your perspective from seeing your failures as you being unworthy to courageous for trying something you were uncertain about!

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” -

Stop Thinking About Others
What's worse than failing? Failing in front of others! As social animals, we do care about how we are getting perceived.
But we need to understand and consciously stop thinking about what others are thinking. If we want to improve and learn, we need to make peace with the fact that we may appear like a loser in front of others.
