Hello
I used to be so scared of failing that made me not try many new things, and follow the exact foot steps of "successful" people around me. Like every failure was a big shame and irreversible mistake. But one can't grow up making no mistake, so i got used to failing, but the worst part is now, I think I'm aiming for failing.
Though maybe that's not so bad, maybe that will prove that many things that we consider as "failure" are not really failure.
Why are we so scared of failing and making even small mistakes? Who wired our mind like that? Is it natural or the society made that behavior in time?
I suspect that it is a combination of both. I think a lot of it is societal programming/expectations but it wouldn't surprise me if a good bit of it is due to some remnant of a trait that was once evolutionarily advantageous and is now hardwired into our brains.

I think it's always combination of many things, which make it harder to retrace.
That was exactly what i was thinking of. For example 5000 years ago, while hunting for food, a small mistake could have ended killing someone or loosing the precious meat they needed badly to survive. And we have a longer history in living like that, which every mistake could result in serious damages, than living how we live now, that many mistakes don't have dramatic consequences. (or maybe they have great consequences but we don't realize it as fast as before).
