can you kill fear?

I have a lot of hesitation in my life, i also have ocd so i am second guessing myself and making things way worse than they need to be, like i am stressing out about shots i have to get in 3 months, anyone have tips to beat fear?.

 

So any ideas how to eliminate it?.

 

You may be approaching this wrong. I forget the name of the man who said, "Courage is not the absence of fear. It's standing up despite being afraid." Someone told me once that a good 70-80% of the things I worry about with anxiety, aren't actually worth worrying about. Someone else once said, "The only thing to fear, is fear itself." You shouldn't be afraid of the shots, you should be afraid of not facing your fears. If facing these fears doesn't make you see yourself as a hero, it's because you are competing with people who have done "scarier things." You should be instead competing with yourself. It doesn't matter how anyone else sees it, if you do something despite being afraid, you're a hero because, to you, it's scary. It's nothing special if someone does something when they aren't afraid of doing it. Only psychopaths don't really experience fear.

If you face your fears (even just small ones to start) you'll never stop being afraid, you'll just be okay with the idea of facing them.

 

Very true

Mate, you can't eliminate fear. Everyone you know, even the most courageous people in history have a lot of fear just like you. The only difference between the courageous man and the coward is how they react. The courageous man challenges/fights the fear and gets over it because he tells himself he can. The coward gives into the fear and accepts defeat only because they don't believe in themselves. You need to improve your self-esteem and fill your head with positive thoughts.

 

Except some mental people. Not an enviable way to be though.
