The text suggests that doing things that scare you will make you happier.

Infact verdict: Mixed (53/100).

The claim that doing things that scare you will make you happier is supported by some web sources, which suggest that facing fears can lead to increased happiness by challenging anxiety and removing limitations. However, the evidence is primarily anecdotal and lacks rigorous scientific backing. The variability in individual responses to fear-inducing activities also suggests that the outcome may not be universally positive. Therefore, while there is some support for the claim, it is not conclusively proven.
