If trying requires too much effort, I guess I won't even try at all unless I'm really determined. So I guess that means I'll give anything a try.

I despise failure. I DO NOT like to fail.
therefore, I do my best to avoid said failure, even if it means not trying. |

QUOTE “Do or do not... there is no try.” -Yoda Just kidding. Never let the idea of failure prevent you from trying. Unless it's jumping off of a 100 story building to see if you can try to survive the fall. Or something of the like. |

It IS limiting myself. To the things I know I can do. And as I have no desire to do things that i cannot do, then i do not feel limited.

actually i would actually try something and fail then never to have tried. i like taking risks in my life and sometimes i think i might screw up on something but it actually turns out great! one time i had a contest to go to and i didnt want to i prefer to fail and not make a fool of myself in front of the judges. but i tried it and i won first prize and 100.00 dollars! =D
