have you ever gotten scared of responsibility?

Hello, I am always scared of responsibility. I think it's quite natural human instinct. It doesn't feel good to disturb a state of peace and move to a new set of actions. Human mind usually opposes to changes especially when it is from a comfortable state to a complicated one. Though I am afraid to take responsibilities it doesn't necessarily mean that I don't take them. I just remind myself about the good things that I am going to get from the act. I just decide to take the responsibility and take it. The rest is done in a process automatically. There is a victory beyond every fear. So it is always worth something. Thanks. God bless you.

You could do things in younger day but now you are scared.How come. Did you face any failure earlier.If you had been doing things successfully there is no reason why you should become diffident.. mainly because of past experience or some one must have pointed out the work was not satisfactory.You be bold.Don't worry about what others say about work. you will regain your confidence.it is only self confidence that makes difference.Self trust is very important. Next time start with full self confidence and with fresh mind .you will definitely succeed...

Sometimes being scared to responsibility is normal because to think that it is a big task that we need to carry into our shoulder. And a big expectation that people would look that we can perform very well. There was a time that i feel afraid in a big responsibility and I did once to run away with it. Really i was scared. To handle a big task into my hand is something feeling like i need to be perfect that if something wronged was happen they blame me. And from that point my i begin to fall. And from this i need to restore again my self confidence and trust myself that i can make it again. Thanks and have a nice day!

It's about confidence that gives you fear to face responsibility. In this life,we had to make choices and decision making and doing such thing we need to be responsible for every action that we might take. Sometimes we need to make quick decision and we can't even think of any possibility or result that it might give,but still we had to do it. Greater responsibility means greater opportunities too.

I am not so afraid of responsibility per say, I am however afraid of failing to full fill all responsibilities. I am one that if I take on any given task and or responsibility I will go the full limit to assure I fulfill it to it's fullest capacity.

I have been in an identical situation as you are. When I was a kid, I used to be the number one in class, class president, teacher's pet, envy of the other kids. I was given lots of responsibilities and I accepted them all. It made me feel good about myself. Today, I would never want to become who I was before. I think I may have been given a responsibility so big and I failed that I do not want to be responsible of anything.

I’m afraid of getting pregnant. I would love to have my own baby now but I still don’t have enough for her/him. So I guess I still have to wait and be careful not to get pregnant. My partner is aware of this and he understands. He’s not ready too. I hope when the time comes, I already have everything for my baby.

I find some people like to take responsibilities for what they do, because very often authority comes with it and they enjoy to have everything under their control. However, I personally would take a humble approach if I have to be responsible for someone or something. For latter is just pure sense of duty and I believe everyone has to learn how to practise it. Instead of sending commands to everyone around you, you are actually making sure everything is on right track. I won't volunteer to take responsibility as I enjoy working under other's authority more. Nevertheless, if the opportunity comes, I will do my best to prove that I am a reliable person.

I think we all can get scared of responsibility from time to time. it can be a tremendous burden to face.

I think I'm in a similar situation right now. When I graduated from college, my mom told me that when I find a job, both my parents will retire and they'll count on me to support our family. I don't wanna seem selfish, but that just seems too daunting for me __

Yes,I've been scared of responsililities the though that i might not perform what I've asked for or responsibilities that I'm not yet ready for....

I would agree that when people somehow entrust to us something important, it makes us also feel important, like they believe in us. But one thing I learned is that people will add more expectations on you the more you do well on the responsibilities they give you. There are some who'd just let you do almost all the work because you wer chosen as a leader and I really didn't like that part of being a leader. I didn't like being told that I have the responsibility to do those, to do that, to be this to be that, it wouldn't show on my face but I'd feel the stress so I'm reluctant in taking the responsibility. But sometimes, when no one takes the job somehow something in me says to start facilitating the group but I always let the others know that I'm not the leader. I've also been a class president, my friends realized that even though i complain a lot i still do the task anyway. I can't do anything about it, I'd be the one in major trouble if we won't be able to do it.

Well, i would have to say that yes i am scared of responsabilities, my parents never let me do anything since my childhood as a result of that now as i am not used to such responsebilities, i fee scared of doing them as i don't have the habbit of doing those responsebilities.

i never experienced that kind of responsibility but i myself once scared of my responsibilities as being a single mom of 2 is already scary since their father dont support them financially.I am worried how will it be for us for the future years but im just doing all i can to provide living for us.

I find that i tend to shy away from responsibility too, i am scared that i wont live up to certain expectations and on top of that,i really don't feeling rushed or pressured, i prefer to work at my own pace.

Taking responsibilities is sometimes scary but if you have the skill and capability and you believe on yourself and you also do trust that you can handle all the the responsibilities with the help of the Lord then nothing would be impossible to meet. As for me, I would admit that there would be times that I got a bit scary when given a task which I believe would test my capability but all my fears would vanish as soon as I pray and ask for God's guiding hands.

Yes sometimes I scared about responsibilities. But when I feel this situation then I think there are also many persons who have many responsibilities and always they bear their responsibilities so how can I scared about this. Because I have no more responsibilities. Only some responsibilities are on me but very lesser. So now I think it is not good to fear about responsibilities.

I think I am the same way. Just too much life, too soon. The daily rigors of responsibility and problems often weigh down on me, that I go thinking that I'd rather not have these responsibilities in the first place. But, I am stuck where I am now, so I think I've also developed a responsibility-phobia.

Yes i do get scared of responsibilities ... Not only in professional life but personal life .... in Personal life ofcourse you have support from your loved ones in this such situation ..but its a whole different ball game in case of pro life. But till now somehow i have always gotten over it given it a shot and mostly succeeded.
