It's normal to feel a little anxious when facing a new challenge or taking a risk. But a fear of failure can prevent you from even trying. Here are some signs:
- You always play it safe and stick to the things you know you can do well.
- You're a perfectionist and expect a lot from yourself, not settling for anything less than perfect.
- You're worried about what other people think. You're afraid of being judged or ridiculed.
- You avoid challenging tasks that seems too difficult or risky, because you don't want to fail.
- You give up quickly rather than sticking with it and trying again.

The first step to overcoming your fear of failure is to acknowledge that you have it. Many people are afraid to fail, but they don't want to admit it because it makes them feel weak. However, admitting that you're afraid is the first step to overcoming that fear, even if it’s just to yourself.
Fear is a natural emotion that helps to keep us safe by alerting us to potential danger. However, fear can also hold us back from achieving our goals. If you find yourself held back by fear, acknowledge it and take steps to overcome it. Only then can you start to live your life to the fullest.

Easier said than done especially because fears are largely unconscious.
Once you've acknowledged your fear, it's important to try to understand why you're afraid of failing. What is it about failure that scares you? Is it the thought of not being good enough? The thought of disappointing yourself or others?
Often, our fears are based on irrational thoughts or past experiences. Once we identify the root of our fear, we can start to address it and find ways to move past it. Sometimes it’s necessary to get help with understanding why the fear of failure exists.

One way to overcome your fear of failure is to set small goals, rather than thinking about failing at your overall goal, focus on succeeding at smaller milestones along the way. This will help you to stay motivated and focused, and it will also make it easier to recover if you do happen to fail at one of your goals.
When you break down the task into manageable pieces, it can help to reduce the feeling of overwhelm and increase your confidence. In addition, by taking action every day, you'll be more likely to achieve your goal. With dedication and perseverance, you can conquer the fear.

If you do happen to fail at something, it's important to learn from your mistakes and move on. Don't dwell on your failures; instead, use them as a learning opportunity so that you can do better next time.
Everyone makes mistakes. It's a natural part of life. What matters is how you learn from your mistakes and use them to improve yourself. When you make a mistake, take some time to reflect on what went wrong and how you can do better next time. Ask yourself what you could have done differently and make a plan to avoid making the same mistake in the future.

Overcoming a fear takes time and patience, so don't be discouraged if you don't see results immediately. It takes time and effort to change the way you think and feel, but it is possible with perseverance.
It takes time to learn new coping mechanisms and to retrain your brain to respond to situations in a different way. Allow yourself the time and space to make mistakes and to explore different options. You may not find the perfect solution right away, but keep trying until you find something that works for you. In addition, give yourself credit for the progress you have already made.
