Fear of failure can be really crippling. I wish I could get over it. Do you have suggestions?
I often lean into the fear and overplan. "OK, what's actually bad about this situation? And is that *actually* bad? No? Great, no need to worry. Yes? OK, now can I make it less bad?"

The nice thing about doing this is that as long as you do it well rather than fretting uselessly, the more you do it the better it works and the easier it gets and the more you trust yourself to cope with failure, so the amount you need to do eases off.

Maybe obvious: The goal is not to not feel afraid of failing. The goal is to acquire a deep seated belief that failure is survivable and it's worth trying anyway.

I might be stuck at the disconnect where I believe I don’t need to worry but still freeze in the situation and am having trouble figuring out why
