I don't mean to sound like a tough guy, but this is indeed how I always counter fear when necessary.
If you have anyone, fictional or not, that you look up to, then imagine that that person is watching you at a specific moment.
I don't only mean fighting, but talking to girls and presenting in front of people as well and things like that.
You wouldn't want to be belittled by your icon or role-model, would you?
My example: This slave rebellion leader named Spartacus is my icon. He's a brave and noble badass. He would shake his head if he were able to see me back down on a challenge, so I would want to make him proud to have a fan like me by overcoming that obstacle.

I know this is weird and random, but I don't care. I wanted to give some advice. :)

Thanks. I'll think of Naruto when I'm getting robbed.
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not....
Well, thanks if you weren't. Yeah, imagine Naruto saying, "You better defend yourseld or else I don't want a coward like you as my fan!" Then you'll feel motivated.

Thank u O Great Wise One
LOL nahh I have average intelligence. This is just common sense to mw.
Well, I don't really look up to Naruto because he's not real.
Just imagine he is. Like living in you like how Minato's soul was in Naruto up until the Pain fight.

Haha thanks! I thought you guys would this I was weird. That's just how you and I roll though. :cool:
believe in yourself
Some people don't have the confidence to do so.

Well, if your idol isn't a courageous figure, then it won't work.

Really? I'm not as unique as I thought. :/

Thanks, man! Glad you liked what I had to say. :D

Hopefully whoever is trying to save the world thinks of someone heroic like Naruto or Hashirama. Then that person will stop your a$$. xd
I was being sarcastic. Was it that good?? :D
Yeah, it was or maybe I'm just stupid.

I kinda do this subconsciously, visualizing people I know who are more successful than me watching me... but I didn't realize it until I read this thread. Nice xd

Thanks! Glad to make you realize that. It just makes complete sense to me. You shouldn't be a fan of someone who wouldn't want you as a fan because of something he/she would disapprove of. Well, you shouldn't live your life trying toi mpress someone, but if you idolize that person that much, then it wouldn't hurt to inherit his/her good traits. :D
