Fear of learning

6 pointsby jcslzrover 13 years ago
I have a pending task, which is kind of new to me so I have to learn how to do it and do it. Although I am in the middle of it, I found it very stressful, is like fear of learning.<p>That does not happen when I have to fix something, for some reason I get lost in finding the solution until I fix, and actually enjoy the process.<p>I guess is only some idea that if I am not good enough for something I really enjoy doing then I would not be allowed to do it anymore.<p>Does anyone feels this way and how do you fight it?

I've experienced the same type of anxiety when faced with a daunting task. I try to be objective, and I try to focus on the problem itself, rather than the problem in relation to other things, like what someone else might expect as a solution. I focus on the exhilaration of finding a solution to the task I had no idea how to do when I started.

I agree with you. I won't call it fear, it's more of anxiety. Whenever I think of learning, I get overwhelmed. It's like learning what? I end up spending precious time being anxious and watching a movie....Sad but true.
