Why do we fear failure?

Despite the importance of failure in entrepreneurship and business as a way to grow personally and guide one's path towards success, many people are still afraid of it. This fear is mainly driven by external factors such as the anticipated negative financial and reputational consequences. Society's negative perception of failure, financial pressure, and social pressure also contribute to this fear. However, connecting with others who have experienced failure and empathise with your situation can help mitigate this fear. The current economic and cultural system is not built for small entities to fail, but it is acceptable for large institutions to do so, which is why entrepreneurs and self-starters face more constraints. Understanding this landscape and realising that failure is a natural part of learning and development can help one overcome their fear of failure. Therefore, it is essential to minimise contact with elements of society that view failure negatively and seek out environments that support personal goals.
