Even though theyre often doing it out of love and concern, having others smear their fear and worry all over you is the last thing you need when youre strengthening your superhero muscles to step out and take some risks, so I highly recommend keeping your mouth shut around people who are gonna bring you down. Instead, seek out those who are already totally kicking butt (or who are lifting up their foot to do so), or people who you know will be supportive, and confide in them. Because youll have your own internal freak show to deal with as you try to overcome the objections from your own BS.
