Fear is such a powerful emotion. It can spur or cripple depending in what way it arises.
I will be going to a Turkish wedding/henna party this evening. I am quite nervous as I have never been to one before, I hardly know the person who invited me, and I do not know what to expect.So I am naturally thinking up all kinds of excuses so I don't have to go.
And this is the stupid part. Since I moved to Stockholm I've been looking for situations to where I can do new things. Meet people outside the usual group of people that I hang out with. Get to experience another side of Stockholm then the one I see bustling around me on the subway. And my fear is crippling me because this should be a time to feel excitement.
Thankfully I'm not going alone. And my fear of letting down the other person who is going is bigger than my fear of going.
