And while it's smart to ward off loneliness ( studies shows it's just as harmful as smoking ) . It's important to surround yourself with healthy people and healthy social interaction .  

FAILURE : One of the most common  fear on Earth  is failure . It's embarring to fail and it may reinforce your beliefs that you don't measure up . You also might avoid doing anything where success isn't guaranteed .  Ultimately , you'll miss out on all the life lessons and opportunities that might help find success .  

REJECTION :  May people  avoid things or meeting new  people or trying  to enter new relationship because of the fear of rejection . Many times people don't  achieve even small tasks because they feel fear to start and second fear that stop is a fear of rejection . And while rejection  " stings " it doesn't  hurt much as much as a missed opportunity . 

UNCERTAINTY : People often avoid trying something there's no guarantee that doing something new will make life better . But staying the same is one " surefire"  way to stay stagnant .

MATURITY IS CAPACITY TO ENDURE UNCERTAINTY 

GETTING  HURT : Hopefully a parent or a trusted adult taught you  to look both ways before cross the street so that won't get hurt .  But quite often , our fears of getting hurt cause us to become emotionally overprotective of ourselves . Your fear of uncomfortable feeling and emotional wounds might prevent you from making deep , meaningful connections .
