Atychiphobe

Perhaps only a few of us are atychiphobes, but nearly all of us have felt the fear of failure to some degree.

In essence, the atychiphobe seeks to avoid, at whatever cost, the same experience he or she may have endured that triggered such a potent and irrational fear of failure.

While most people experience anxiety or doubt regarding success in any endeavor, atychiphobes often have an extreme lack of confidence in their abilities that results in a fear of ridicule over their failure.
