I wonder though, is this even too broad? Perhaps people need to overcome some of this adversity. Not everything is painless in life nor should it be.
- fwip 7y agoPart of the point is that it's not something you're overcoming. If you're worried about it, but you do it anyway, you still have the ability to go about your life. When my anxiety was super bad (before therapy and medication), there were weeks when I was too anxious to go to the grocery store and started skipping dinner because there wasn't any food in the house. I hadn't seen a dentist in 8 years because my phone anxiety was too high to make an appointment - and my social anxiety was terrified that they'd be mean to me about my teeth. I'm doing much better now, but there are still some times that my anxiety acts as a total blocker to something I have to (or sincerely want to) do.

If it's causing you so much dread you can't bring yourself to do it, that's not just "overcoming adversity" - that's adversity where there shouldn't be any.
