Question

And how does one learn NOT to be scared of theirself?

And where does this fear come from?

Answer 1

When you learn to take life as it comes-

When you live with self confidence and boldness to face the world, let what may come!

You are not afraid to take bold decisions, irrespective of failure.

Able to learn from mistakes.

Most of fear comes from fear of making mistakes and in the process you may lose some thing!

Answer 2

I don't really know the answer to your main questions. But I think the fear comes from running the risk of suddenly understanding that really, there is no "myself." I mean, my sense of myself as a distinct thing means that the "me" who desires to face herself, who looks and sees that she's not anything real, will be destroyed by doing so. And after that, what will "I" do? It's a matter of surrender, this self-facing -- not a matter of taking charge and making something happen. I don't know that we learn not to be scared, so much as to ... I dunno, not "be afraid" but to accept the feeling of fear as just a feeling, and see anyways.

Answer 3

thats fear's called insecurity. :) To face insecurity one must deny him/herself
