When I think of this I'm reminded of the quote "If you never fall down, you never learn how to get back up". I think some types of struggle are a necessary 'evil' in life. It is this struggle that defines you and hones inner-strength and is a conduit for us to make it to a better state of affairs.
The struggle may be exercise, getting out of the house, applying for a job, getting your GED, anything you find difficult, but at some level desire to do. (But of course use reasonable thinking).
So I say to everyone, go do what you find difficult. Go do what you've been wanting to do but been too afraid to. And if you 'fail' remember "fall seven times, stand up eight."
In other words, you're okay, you haven't really failed at all. Take it as a learning experience. Because you can always dust yourself off again, however many times that takes, and stand back up. How bad do you want it? Life's too short.
While I type this I am in similar situations to a lot of you. I'm afraid of so many things. Social situations, failing, falling into oblivion and so on. But I have risen above the fear before and in doing so I have been able make it to a better place emotionally and physically. That's why I began exercising. I was afraid. But if I didn't tried, nothing would ever happen. So I did it, and it was difficult, but it paid off and I'm better for it.
I still have so much more I want to do and achieve in my life, and I'm still afraid but I will not allow that to stop me. The question is, how badly do you want it? Sometimes I don't care, and sometimes I believe absolutely nothing will go right, but right now I want it bad.
Especially as I look at this stale existence I've found myself in.
Update: Maybe this is the wrong forum category. I might post it somewhere else.
