5 Signs Fear Is Running Your Life

1. You avoid doing new things and stick to what is familiar to you, this attempt to protect yourself is just going to sink you and make you not progressive in life. 

2. You settle for much less than you truly deserve, you are unhappy where you are but the fear of the unknown keeps your toes to the place your familiar with, even if painful.

3. You are too afraid of the word "no", because you have a false belief that hearing a "no" means you're just getting rejected. 

4. You avoid dating, even if you want to. 

5. Controlling behavior; you always dwell on the negatives and expect the worst case scenario. To compensate for that you micromanage and control everything.
