  2. You don't. At least not in the way you think.

    Most people will try meditation, breathing exercises, yoga, things like that. While it might certainly work, I believe it's just a temporary relief.

    For me, there is only one way to relieve your fears.

    How?

    You face them.

    Easier said than done of course, but we all have to understand that running away from our fears won't change anything. It make things worse in fact.

    So, we need to face them. We need to jump into the battle no matter how uncomfortable and painful it can be. You have to face what scares you my friend. You have to overcome it. That's how you grow stronger. Things will never get better until you do that, and until you have the right mindset. If you don't, then this fear you have will only become more and more powerful overtime until you get completely paralyzed just by thinking about it. It will haunt you for the rest of your life.

    You can't run away eternally you know. You can't be scared forever. Do you imagine yourself at 60 years old, still shitting in your pants whenever you have to interact with other people? I hope you don't.

    Fight man. Be courageous. Being brave isn't having the strength to overcome an obstacle. Being brave is overcoming an obstacle when you don't have the strength to do so, and the more you do it, the easier it will get. Trust me.

    I believe in you brother.

    You can do it, you just don't know it yet.

    Stay strong.
