If you ask people or yourself what are the reasons to give up or never start something. You will see the combination of different effects.
And there are fancy names for all these effects like Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, Spotlight Effect or biases like confirmation bias, recency bias, hindsight bias etc.
Thus the reasons which we tell ourselves are :
1. People will make fun of me and my initiative
2. There is nothing new to be done here
3. I will upset someone
4. I am not good enough: too old, average, no right skills, have not done before, always start and then drop etc.
Let me tell you the real reason. The real reason is, “You don’t want it”. You don’t want it like air to a drowning person, you don’t want it like water to a person in the hot desert, you don’t want it like food to a hungry person.
You don’t want it.
