Discussion Is anyone else here afraid of failing while trying?

[Diddy]

I used to be afraid of failing while putting effort because it would make me realize about my shortcomings, which I can never fix. That’s the reason why I didn’t put any effort during my time at uni, since if I performed badly, I would use the excuse of not trying to protect my ego. After becoming blackpilled about myself, that fear eventually disappeared.

 

[SubhumanOldcel]

Yes, I've always had this pattern recognition even when I was whenever I tried/put effort into something it always ended up bad.
Looks is everything unfortunately.

It's because you know the outcome, at least your subconcious does. Failing for Chad almost never occurs, and if it does, he is given endless opportunity to redeem himself while getting continuous praise.

Cels don't live that life, and for that reason our brains have a survivorship bias to maintain what we got, even in the worst of situations, staying under the radar.

The good thing is when Chad does fail, he usually kills himself, where is't just another day for us.

I had huge social phobia for years. When I finally overcame the worst of it, I experienced the black pill first hand and realized it didn't even matter

Without sex and natural fulfillment, you can't actually reach any healthy form of self-actualization so you're basically comatose forever.

 

[TheFinalFrontier]

As they say. Some of us are so scared of taking the step because we think it will break the idea of greatness we have in our minds about our selves

[Sex-Starved Beast]

In the past, yes. I always thought that I only got bad grades in school because I didn't try as hard as others, but when I tried my best and still didn't become as good as some people, I couldn't come up with excuses to protect my ego anymore. But this has never stopped me from actually trying my best.

Nowadays I don't care, I try to get the best I can get, I don't care how I compare with other people and what's my "worth" anymore.

It is not just the initial failure and rejection itself, but also the negative social repercussions, consequences, or even legal trouble that could soon follow.

The person you approached will probably tell all her friends about the traumatic experience she had being hit on by some "creepy guy". Things get exaggerated as the gossip spreads and then all of the white knights and simps emerge to defend m'lady from you and make your life miserable.

If somebody like us was dumb enough to to this at work, we would immediately get called into the office and severely-reprimanded or terminated for a sexual harassment claim from said coworker.

In severe cases, a girl/woman might even decide to call the cops on you for feeling "unsafe" and claiming that you were about to sexually-assault her despite no evidence for her claim, and then you could end up arrested or in jail.

There are so many things that could go wrong, and "rejection" is the least of our worries in this regard.

 

[wereq]

Yeah me, and its ruined my life. I've recently come to realize that its not just failure that I fear but rather I fear the immense stamina required to pick myself up and try again and again. I just don't have the stamina to absorb failure multiple times while relentlessly moving forwards towards my goal; its exhausting for me to do that. This is why I'm such a big failure in life. I'm just a weak dysgenic piece of shit with low vitality and strength. Honestly, I should just be euthanized.

I wanna see this ngl.

 

[Grodd]

Truth be told i stopped trying years ago

 

[anon]

Yes. Last month I failed a relatively easy exam even though I'd studied quite a bit, and I was quite confident I'd pass so I just stopped trying altogether and now I'm failing all of my classes because I'm just rotting in my room.

I remember failing a midterm and got one of the lowest marks in the class, even though I put a decent amount of effort on my assignments, so I assumed I knew the content well. As a result, I became more depressed and lost all motivation to study, but I somehow managed to get a passing grade for the final despite it being objectively 10 times harder than midterm (more people failed it).

 

[cripplecel]

Yes all the time

 

[LeFrenchCel]

Kinda

I mean, when you're about to spend an enormous amount of time and energy (maybe money) into something that you are not sure will succeed, what's even the point?

 

[lifeisfucked215]

If you're talking about roping then yes

 

[spaceace79]

I have nothing to lose and little to gain but Im still scared to try even though I should just be in a "fuck it " mentality

No because I already failed thousands of times. What's a few more? Just drops of water into the ocean at this point.

 

[DjentlemanDuke]

Quite frankly, I have always wanted to be at the top in academic environment as a kid, before I was even blackpilled. I just could not do it as good as my peers, no matter how much effort I put in, and it made me question my genetic potential a lot. Some people, on the other hand, despite their shitty effort and skills, still managed to outperform me, due to their looks advantage. It is absolutely bullshit, and I am envious of their potential, not just capabilities.

[Entersocialdemocrat]

I refuse or completely avoid doing a thing because it will highly likely be either ignored or sabotaged by other people, which also makes the effort look futile by comparison to what others do. These people I compare to myself seek zero knowledge and act on a daily and practical basis; on the other hand, I don't, because in the schemes of things, what I need is way different from them.

I live in complete paralysis.

Mostly yeah, I have never been a risky person.

Trying it and failing is worse than not trying it.
