I was a hyperchondriac.
It was a big reason to become a doctor. Once I understood health, I stopped stressing.
Same with Bitcoin security - I was super paranoid. So I went deep into the security rabbit hole, wrote about it, and I teach it. Now I've stopped stressing.
fear is direction.
Scared of heights/flying - climb, skydive.
Claustrophobic - try diving, caving.
Scared of needles - give blood, do advanced first aid.
It goes on and on.
I certainly feel that fear is a directional thing, and if you run towards it you live in heaven and if you run from it you live in hell.
