    Default Is It Bad That I Have This Attitude?

    I've read around the forums about posts that say stuff like "felt sick but went to my friends party anyway because she's more important" or "boyfriend had sv* but despite my phobia I cared for him and gave him water, etc." (these are just examples). There are many more just like it, but the point I'm trying to make is, all these people have the "I'd fight through it despite my fear of vomiting" or "I'll manage it anyway" attitudes, but I would instantly decline trying to do any of the things these people do. They have a risk-taking attitude, whereas I have a just-in-case attitude. Is it bad or wrong that although everyone's pushing themselves to be normal and act normal in society, I'm trying to avoid it and be reserved and not risk anything? Just keeping to my phobia and not going out or anything? I couldn't bring myself to do any of these things - it's not just that I don't want to.

    Plus another thing, another reason why I don't take the risks these people take is because I've read that the outcomes are usually bad and they regret doing them, even though they attempted to act normal.

    I'm not attempting to not act normal, I'm just not able to act normal.
