A: Fear of Challenges
You might not realize it, but you tend to shy away from challenges. You often focus on your own gains and losses, fearing that you might underperform and face the stress of tough situations. While it doesn't make you a coward, when difficulties become too burdensome, you're likely to retreat.
B: Lack of Determination
Maybe long-term perseverance isn't your strong suit. Your willpower may not be particularly robust, which often leads you to abandon your dreams and encounter repeated setbacks. Although you have aspirations and a yearning for success, the journey demands constant perseverance. It can be exhausting to keep pushing forward, and when you're weary, you simply stop, not realizing you're on the brink of success.
C: Fear of Loneliness
You're someone who deeply fears loneliness. You're aware of both your own and others' shortcomings, yet sometimes you halt your journey halfway because the solitary path to achieving your dreams feels too isolating. Lacking companionship and support can be discouraging. A team to stand by you would bolster your confidence and resilience. However, finding like-minded companions often requires a great deal of luck.
D: Conforming to Societal Norms
Deep down, you still harbor dreams, but living in a society driven by conventional norms, you've grown accustomed to adhering to prevalent views and ideals. To secure a place for yourself, earn social approval, and lead a more comfortable life, you choose to set your dreams aside and live pragmatically. You might even feel that your dreams are impractical and less attainable, while the reality you live in offers a sense of security.
