If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?

No one wants to be deemed a failure could be the reason why.

We are naturally wired to move away from things that are harmful to us. Avoiding risk. But we know that risk is necessary for meaningful progress. So we can get stuck between the two. With experience, we can learn the lesson. But if someone tells us, we may not trust their word and try to avoid making mistakes!

The fear of failure is a natural thing to be scared of and we know that with failing comes the negative outcomes and the bad feelings it’s not easy to know something might have that outcome and be strong enough to push through it anyway.
