It's true. Your fears do not let you do anything. The fear of being rejected above all. But you get it from the moment you are born. If you have a bad past experience, you tend to learn from it. Isn't that what they call experience?
John Nash was a genius. He managed to put into some formulas the theorem that above all our decisions are not based on the wisest decision, which would guide us above all the other secondary options, but that everyone tends to influence everyone, and everyone knows that everyone will fight for his/her best interests. It's a very simple thought but to translate it into maths, well he had to invent a kind of game for people to play. But where else to measure people's tendencies, decision-making, thoughtfulness?
It's never a one-way decision, because we know all other agents will act in their own best interests. If I do this, then he will do that, because he knows I might then do this, or have done that, etc, etc... Not very different from chess really. The chess reality. The notion that we are not all dumb, and that you can be taught everything, but most teachings tend to think that you can learn to be better than the person next to you. Well, I doubt it. Dedication and work might get you closer to your aims but. Focus inclusive.
Somehow this fear and experience and John Nash's theory are all related. 'Cause they all tend to influence decision-making, reality, present, future, distances, all those paths that these concepts lead up to, until they crash into the ever-expanding universe.
Youth, honey, freedom, lightness, oh, how I long for an everlasting peaceful moment (not death), that would guide me into the colours of a beautiful sunset. I'll keep dreaming but.

That´s a good shout in the dark, a real one with real life facts commun to many of us.
J. Nash advises you to take 2nd best in order to assure you to have the highest posibility to the victory of your act in itself, but not in the particular desired object/person/value.
The idea that we are all rationals (or tend to be) and that we can learn like the others is in a way true.
But it is life and the surroundings on each one of us is based and/or have been consolidating trough out the living years and have been acumulating in layers over our essence is what makes us diferent.
J. Nash theorizes for victory of the act and it´s objective. But not particularly to the victory that may fullfill.
Sometimes, victory only has one name. There are no 2nd best victories.
será o mundo o reflexo de uma gigantesca tendência feita por triliões de microtendências?
Será que a maioria do planeta é burro e que muitos só querem comer e que quem não tem fome só quer ter um lcd?
Será que as pessoas são assim tão burras! Mesmo burras e sem saberem, milhões de pessoas em todo mundo tomas decisões acertadas. impirismo?
