Fear of Suffering

“The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself" - often the scenarios are not as bad as they are in our mind.

What fear of success looks like

  • Fear of success usually doesn’t mean a literal fear of success. People fear the results and consequences of making lots of money, for example, not the money itself.
  • Fear of success is often learned at a young age.
  • Fear of success is maintained (and made worse) by avoidance.
