Reasons TO BECOME a risk-taker.

First, their personality. They have a big T personality, they are so extroverted and reckless and theIR fear is not a factor.

Second, they have the idea that who doesn’t take risks doesn’t win.

The last reason is because they don’t think things TOO much, they just DO it and most of the time it COULD be a terrible problem for THESE types of PEOPLE.

In conclusion, TO be a risk-taker it's a two-edged sword so IT is really important TO have a balance.

 I think that when a person becomes risk taker it is because they feel sure of themselves, and they don't feel afraid of failing and they like to take risks.

It is very important because Risks allow us to increase our self-confidence and master certain skills and this action can permit to have many opportunities to try new things on our own and even make mistakes.

Actually IT is common to hear THAT many people say I can't try IT BECAUSE OF fear of failING or simply because of embarrassment and in some cases some people when they want to take risks, THEY can't control their nerves and it is important to be calm and relaxED.

How a person becomeS a risk-taker... I think that when a person becomes a risk-taker it's when a person finally stops being afraid and overthinking things; a more commoN example (at least for me) could be the "bad guys" in class, those who disobey and talk back TO the teacher. I think tHey are a negative example, and I put them as aN example because unfortunately my classmate is just like that and it seems that he enjoys beiNg punished.

When a person becomeS a risk-taker, the person loseS the fear but fear makes people analyze the situation and activates their SURVIVAL instinct, so we can say that fear influences if a person is a risk-taker or a risk avoider, for example, a risk-avoider will overthink every situation analyzing if iTr will be dangerous or not, they prefer to be safe but this doesN't mean that risk-takers aren't afraid ,of course they are but their need to feel adrenaline is stronger, that is why in the lisTening we hearD that a big T or a risk-taker are more expoSed to accidents, and that's all I search in internet for information but i didn't find something interesting UnU

(sorry if it's longe i got exited xd and sorry i couldn't use much adverbs :'3)

To become a risk taker you have to set rules, I mean that taking risks means having these rules and as far as you can be willing to go, you also have to imagine the riskY situation before living it so that later you no longer have the feeling of fear.

Furthermore, it’s also a personal decision that implies concentration and with time you are finally not so afraid of taking those risks. But to become a risk avoider, you have to have a personality that is characterized by rejecting situations of all kinds. In addition, you are afraid of everything, for example, when you TAKE a decision, you immediately respond with a phrase or word that means avoidance.

Why a person takes risks or decides to avoid them is up to them. There are people who, due to maturity, do not take risks, but there are times that taking risks brings benefits. However, that does not mean that taking risks does not bring bad things. I believe that people do not take risks because of fear. For example, a person does not go on a roller coaster because they are afraid. Scientists have also found that risky behavior is associated with happiness. Everything shows that dopamine increases in some people when they take risks. Therefore, this type of behavior produces a satisfying sense of well-being in some people.

I think that a person becomes a risk-taker because that person enjoys having new experiences or feels an adrenaline rush when doing the most dangerous challenges.

A person becomes a risk-avoider for difFerent reasons; the MOST common can be when a person isn't ready to leave his or her comfort ZONE or maybe has a bad experience and a person doesn't have free time

I'm not so sure but in my case the few times I felt adrenaline or HAD to face fear or something scary I didn't like to feel the adrenaline also I think the fear was more than the adrenaline and I didn't like it at all, so I think that it depends if the people like the feeling of doing something risky, feel adrenaline because if they like it they will do it again and again and they enjoy it but if you don't like the feeling then you will do whatever you can to avoid. For example, roller coasters or things that you are afraid of, I think that the best way is to be in the middle of both sides because avoiding everything you are scared of won't be always good, and as well, doing something risky or dangerous it isn't good.

I believe that if a person is a risk taker it is not a trait that appears from one day to the next, but it is a consequence of how he/she was raised because the way in which our parents educate us influences a lot in the way we are, in our security, confidence, self-esteem and the way we face changes and new things. Furthermore, I think that our personality influences a lot on the issue; if a person is extroverted, he/she adapts better to changes and risks while for an introverted person it can be more difficult and as a result, he/she becomes a risk avoider, who prefers to have a lifestyle with habits and regular routines.

We can say that a person denominated as a “big t” is a person that tries a lot of risky actions or makes risky decisions and that is because that kind of person needs more of stimulation to get afraid physically and psychologically because THEIR personality is more extroverted. Unfortunately, those decisions aren´t supposed to be safe and sometimes they are irresponsible ONES.

And talking about “small t” personality, we can say that they are risk avoiders and take safe decisions and stay in theIR comfort zone, that’s because they feel more nervous on situations that they can’t handle and are more conscious about the dangers, and that because their personality is QUIETER and MORE introverted

People tend to take riskS when they want to get something that is so impoRTant for them or just for fun.

Some people caN become a risk-takER if they tried a risky activity and nothing bad happened and they liked that sensation, so they decided to try this again and again. Furthermore, it can BECOME a rOutine or even an addiction and it can cause problems AT work or TO his or her health.

Secondly, we have people that becames a risk-avoider. They probably saw accidents with people that practice risky activities, or they tried risky activities and it finished so bad and they decided not to do it ever and they GOT scared when they hear or see something about risky activities.

IT IS not TOO difFicult FOR me TO explain. IT all startS with the first risk even could be a VERY dangerous event as an accident, a car race, climbing a mountain, traveling, riding a motorcYcle and depending ON how we take this situation and also how we feel WHICH will cause a change in our life as a risk-taker or a risk-avoider. In my personal opinion we just have one life to try anything. IT'S better FOR me TO say sorry THAN regret not having DONE it and this helpS me to take a lot of decisions when I'm thinking about the future. Sometimes I just sAY I will take it and see where that road takes me. Last but not least, I think IT'S important TO NOT compare past decisions thinking ohhhh if i just taken that other decision
