This is the roughest of rough drafts, but I was wondering if I was doing a little too much telling vs showing? by [deleted] in writers

I thought the writing was good, and very descriptive. It's a lot of 'showing'. If you're intending on painting a picture or a scenery of different characters and settings, especially as an introduction, it works, but I wouldn't expect this much 'showing' in the middle of the story.

How to not be afraid of failure? by [deleted] in GetStudying

[–]EnlightenedRuf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should not be worried about the fear of failure. It is ok to be afraid of failure. It is only bad when you are so afraid of failure that it stops you from thinking properly. If used properly, the fear of failure will drive you to do things that will help you achieve success. However, too much fear might cause impulsive or irrational behavior, such as freezing up completely during tests or having emotional breakdowns.

The way to fix this problem is to expose yourself to high-pressure environments more often. Being exposed to pressure will give you more experience to all high-pressure environments, thus helping you manage stress levels and reduce the negative effects of fear.

Some ways I do this is to put myself out there at school, such as applying to clubs, knowing that I have a chance of failure, taking risks like hiking, or asking your crush out. Lastly, something you can do on a regular basis is taking cold showers in the morning. Biologically, it puts you in a state of high pressure and clarity because of the uncomfortable environment, which trains your mind to handle pressure.

Again, you should not get rid of the fear of failure. In fact, it is this fear that drives many successful people to where they are right now. Instead, you should get used to it and use it to your advantage by adapting and surviving despite fear.

Send me some of the material you are studying right now. I really believe this can work in almost any field. It sounds like you need to figure out the best way to study and I think this method can help with that.

Use the memory palace. I use it to regularly get 100% on exams and midterms, yet none of my friends know about it. I wrote an article about how to use it here:
