It's the reverse effect for me. It help me to FACE it. I have changed my way to see the life with some beautiful movies and this show too. In the past, I was not exactly a good person. Now, the art, the sport, the fighting are my life. And I think it's better to "feel" the life in us with some fears and in taking some risk than to stay in a "confort zone". I will never give up for realize my objectives. For finish, I say this : Even if you believe that you are a "looser", it's not true. You can break your falses limits, reality or not, with time, patience, and perseverance.
