Everybody is afraid of failure... So I'm not sure I get what you mean? Often its the fear of failure that drives us to success.

Learn to accept failure. Read and get to know people who failed and still kept at their objective.It is not a thing to be ashamed of.Everyone! I repeat everyone has failed at something at least once in their lives. Failing is not a problem. But failing and refusing to keep going is what is of concern.

Also try to find the root cause of this. For instance, were you scolded/flogged as a child when ever you came short of expectations from parents/guardians? Anxiety is most times deeply rooted in past (childhood) experiences.

Were you taught that failing is unacceptable and were you made to be very competitive?

So make efforts to overcone this and be careful also that it doesnt degenerate into anxiety dissorder and panic attacks. Believe me you dont want that to happen.

Your fear of failure may be due to excessive pressure to succeed. You have to understand that it's ok to fail sometimes. Don't bother so much about the high expectations you think people have of you. Do your best in all your endeavours but be open to disappointments because they are inevitable.
