Would you rather drink instant coffee for the rest of your life, or face one of your larger fears?

This is an easy question. I rather drink instant coffee for the rest of my life than face my largest fear, which is falling from a height or a mountain or something like that. This fear has been with me since I was a child. It is because I fell from a mountain once and my mouth hit a stone, and I was injured. I still have a small scar from this incident in my bottom lip. I don't want to experience that again in my life, so I avoid mountain climbing or activities like that. Activities that I have to climb a height and distance myself from the surface of the earth.

I think facing your largest fear is very difficult than drinking a cup of instant coffee for the rest of your life. Most fears stem from an incident in the past and by facing your fear, you remember that incident, and it brings the suffering and terror you experienced in the past. This distress and discomfort turns the person into an unstable person.

In my opinion, facing your largest fear requires preparation. You can't just jump into it when you feel like it. Forcing yourself to face your largest fear never works, and it makes you feel more unnecessary fear. Fears lurk in the back of the mind and when it's time, they will appear, you don't have to actively think about it. They will surprise you when you don't expect it.

This reminds me of an incident when I had to face my deepest fear, which was fear of heights. I wanted to show I am outgoing and like nature to impress a certain somebody, but it was the worst experience of my life. It was summer, so it was extremely hot, my friend and I embarked on an adventure to the woods. There were high hills, and we had to climb up or down each of them one by one till we reach a beautiful waterfall. Because of my fear, I couldn't pass the last hill to reach the waterfall, and my friend left me alone. She went ahead and reached the waterfall. Being under the sun and being influenced by the heat, my body reacted, and I had a herpes simplex on my upper lips and I had a fever. I knew I will have a hard time climbing hills up and down, but that person whom I wanted to impress was really important to me.

So, technically I tried to face my fear of heights once but every time some incident happens and makes me regret my decision to face my fear of heights. For him, I was willing to face my fear, but it didn't work out at the end for me and I suffered.

To make this, I added some instant coffee to my cup, and then I added a little cold water and then hot water and then milk and then sugar

So, I rather drink instant coffee, which I already do, than experience what I wrote earlier. I enjoy coffee in all its forms. It brings a cozy, good feeling. Why would I face my fears, I will instead drink a hot cup of instant coffee with milk, or I will make Dalgona with instant coffee, which is my favorite cold drink.

It is good that you are comfortable with yourself in such a way that you can honestly state these limitations you find in your heart. Sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry. :)

Thanks for your understanding ❤️
