Try to speak in front of the mirror, in front of your family, or in front of your friends. Learn from mistakes and start working on your fear. Do small on daily basis, this will give you the confidence to beat down the fear.

Step 3 to overcome fear: Stop comparing yourself to other

avoid Negativity in life

The thought of comparing yourself with others hits on your mind when you feel low. it is obvious when you compare yourself with others your disrespect both, you disrespect the efforts you put and disrespect the effort that someone made to reach that level.

It is simple if someone is better than you at something, the reality is that the person fails more than you to master it.

Instead, you should care for your effort, blur the world and put your all focus on yourself.

If you want to compare, compare today’s you to yesterday and track your progress. Comparing with others is just makes you low and your fear big. Just remember every person is different in their own way.
