hello @samminator,
fear is so powerful that people would rather give up on their dreams than step out of their comfort zone, remember that stepping out of your comfort zone means you have to invest time and money, not to mention the risks of failure, which is something people hate. there are natural fears that are fears inherited from our primitive past but those fears are no longer valid, for example the fear of insects is something that should not be normal, also the fear of talking about our goals to others is another fear that should not be normal either, fears are controlled by facing them and really seeing what their true consequences are in reality, I believe that is the only way to overcome fear.
