Well I sometimes just cant stop thinking the bad side of a particular thing......if i am about to do something which involves risk i sometimes immediately start thinking.....is it worth taking the risk,is it worthwhile and because of this i loose out on many things...... I sometimes just cant decide what to do, my friends get really bugged up with this behavior of mine.....but they still understand and be by my side......i really want to be optimistic in life, in fact i am most of the time......but when it comes to taking some risks......i am a bit hesitant......no clue how to overcome this..... Can someone give some suggestions......is it worth taking risks sometimes????

I've always been pretty hesitant about doing things out of the ordinary, but recently I have managed to change the way I look at things. First of all your age may dictate the different "risks" that you may be taking. What I have done to start doing things I wouldnt usually do is weigh up whats the worst that can happen. Even if something goes wrong and you get embarrassed or something, you will still feel better for having tried it and your friends will be pretty impressed that you went for it aswell. after a couple of months of this approach you wont really bother weighing up the pros and cons, you will just do it out of habit, this has made life much more enjoyable for me, but it does take some time to train yourself. The key is to start with small things and then attempt things bigger and bigger. Hope this helped you, and welcome to the world of the living life to the fullest :)
