Why are you afraid of being a failure? If you can honestly look at the root of the fear then you can overcome it.
Making comparisons to other people is human nature, and it's a part of human nature that I frankly think is out of control because of the current "system" as it were. Our society breeds this kind of thinking, you're not worthy unless you can measure up to what the system defines as "success".
Why does the comparing thing frighten you?
