I ge terribly anxious when I am exercising, particularly with a group of people.
I fear this is holding me back because I often give up because Im scared I will fail if I keep going. Silly I know, but its always been such a huge issue for me.
I gave up on a class yesterday morning. It was great with the circuits but then we went into the basketball courts and the sheer size of the court was intimidating and then we had to do suicides with 5kg weights. I did the first one, but then we had to do another and I just couldn't so I walked out!!!
I was so embarrassed and then when I was driving home I was thinking how stupid I was. Why didn't I just slow down and take it easy? Surely others would too? And then later on I phoned my friend who completed the class and she said that everyone slowed right down after the next one!
;( Any solutions? Does anyone else have a fear of failure?
