Pilar Sordo: You don't have to stop doing something because of fear, you have to do it with fear; it's an engine, a stimulant

Psychologist and writer Pilar Sordo discussed with journalist José del Rio for LA NACION the importance of overcoming obstacles and embracing challenges despite fear. She emphasized that fear can act as a motivator rather than a deterrent, allowing individuals to take bold actions. Sordo also explored the evolution of social relationships and the role of language in emotional stability, noting that people today use less vocabulary, which limits their ability to express internal experiences. She referenced psychiatrist José Luis Marín, who argued that a lack of words can lead to emotional illness, as communication through emojis and other non-verbal cues reduces the depth of human connections. Additionally, Sordo highlighted the impact of internal dialogue on self-perception and worldview, stating that how individuals speak to themselves shapes their self-esteem and how they view the world. She noted that this internal conversation influences processes like grief, life purpose, and emotional expression. Finally, she addressed the discomfort associated with personal growth, suggesting that many avoid it due to societal pressures.
