Bear market anxiety? First, accept a harsh reality.

Most of those trading experts you see were already wealthy to begin with. Making 2% on a $100,000 position for a $2,000 profit—you only see “earning another $2,000,” but you don’t see their principal or their trial-and-error costs.
What should ordinary people do? There is an opportunity, but it’s hard.
Because you can’t afford to lose. Others can lose money for three or five years and learn slowly—you can’t. So you must:
Take the initiative to control your emotions and don’t let FOMO hold you hostage.
Set a stop-loss proactively; it’s better to miss out than to lose money.
Look for the spot with the highest risk-reward ratio and try to win big with small moves.
Different starting lines—comparing yourself to others only makes you anxious. Accept mediocrity, and you’ll realize how precious every bit of progress is.
Your goal is stable profits, not getting rich overnight. Making more money is luck; being grounded is real skill. Do your own thing—don’t compare with others.
