Fear of being ridiculed




Certainly if you fail in front of other people, there is the possibility of being ridiculed. This is probably the greatest fear people have. It can cause you to lose confidence and esteem, as well as to be looked upon as not valuable or desirable, no important and certainly not powerful.
There are many cases where people hesitate from doing something they want to do, because they fear of consequences of failure or some impending disaster.

A young man may not ask a girl out for a date, because he fears rejection.
A manager may avoid giving a presentation at work, because she is afraid of speaking to a group. She fears the possibility of looking foolish and being ridiculed by her peers.
Such fears are great and very real to the person.

So guys,

There are many others suffering from this. Well, I admit, I'm one myself.
The point is, unless we be brave and face and accept whatever remarks are made, I'm sure we won't feel so upset. I know its easy to say, well, I don't deny it myself, for I find myself hard to accept it and take it as a remark.

Problem being, some of us do fall on the sensitive levels. But, if we are to move on in this world, sensitivity is no way an excuse.

I'm trying to change and accept, hope you will to.

Cheers,
Tunitha
