Mark Myers expert answer to:
To live fearlessly is to live recklessly. Some degree of fear is not only normal but healthy. Just like any other human emotion, it gives us a signal and tells us something about the environment we are in. To live with out fear totally, is not only dangerous but improbable.

Mark Myers Expert Answer to: Should you be pessimistic about relationships that move too quickly?
For relationships that develop "quickly" I believe some degree of caution should be in order. Since quickly is a subjective term, it would be nearly impossible to establish a measuring stick of what is "too" quick. For some people, if they have had some relationships in the past and know what they are looking for, the courtship process may move more swiftly in than for other relationships.

Mark Myers expert answer to: I am angry, irritated, and frustrated most of the time. How do I control this?
The symptoms that you describe(irritability, pessimism, lack of ability to accomplish tasks) could mean that you could be suffering from depression. This diagnosis would need to be confirmed by a professional. What you are experiencing has nothing to do with being a good person.
