Start small

I am not joking btw, it is a great activity because you can take a risk whenever you want and you can exactly and precisely choose how big it is going to be
you cannot do that with other activities, there is no magic slider that would let you adjust the risks, only sports betting can do this

By taking risks. It’s also the wrong question to ask. It’s okay to be afraid. Being afraid is actually good, it means you are seriously considering it. So do it while you are afraid. More often than not you’re afraid of something that won’t happen or if it does happen it doesn’t matter, it’s just the buildup around it happening you are afraid of not the event itself
>>
Drink heavily and drive to where people are and force yourself to socialize with them whether they're into it or not. Get arrested. When you deal with the fallout from that you will be less of a pussy afterward

Sometimes it's better not to. The flipside of taking risks is that sometimes things actually do go horribly wrong.
>>
You're afraid of taking risks and want to stop, so the first thing you do is go to a forum and ask people how to start taking risks? What kind of advice do you want exactly? Are you afraid of starting to taking risks wrong? There's no way to fix you; this is by far the most retarded thread I've ever seen. If you're asking this question, you're already doing it wrong.
>>
Not taking risks is taking a risk. You're risking that nothing negative happens as a result of inaction

You're still betting

This. Experiment with stepping out of your comfort zone in small ways, and go bigger and bigger over time. Some longshots will be uncomfortable, and this will teach you to deal with taking a shot and not getting what you wanted/expected. Some will end favorably, and this will embolden you to keep taking chances.

That being said, don't let anybody shame or mock you into taking a STUPID or DANGEROUS risk.

>>34967758
You don't. You just take them anyway.
>>
>>34967758
After not taking a couple of risks the pain of regret will be so ingrained in you that you start taking stupid risks, then you scale it down from there.

risk asessment
>>
>>34967758
You can't force yourself to not feel fear, but you can choose how you respond to it.

Take small and calculated risks.
>>
With risk comes progress. Imagine if you never risked anything and saw your whole life breeze by with no accomplishments. Go take risks for the right outcomes.
