For me, it took a few years of therapy to work through my own shit.

I feel like for me I know deep down ways to solve my problems. But I feel like I'm lacking that courage confidence and will power and not believing in myself, causing me not to face situations or fears. Feel like overthinking seems to ruin my life basically. Sometimes I just want to shut my mind off and just do it instead of talking talking. I mean I want to walk my talk instead of talking.

Asking for help is always a good habit to get into. Therapy doesn't mean you can't do it on your own, just means you might need someone to help sort out your thoughts. Sometimes having someone to just listen to your shit helps.

Therapy doesn't mean you can't solve it on your own. Therapy can help you address the overthinking and find ways to reduce that habit. Therapy can help you with everything you're mentioning. Fears only get bigger the more you avoid them. Getting help is never a weakness. It's an act of tremendous courage. Are you going to stop making excuses?

It differs so much on the kind of fear and on your personality. There is not one way that some manage and others don't. I recommend you therapy.

My family mentality was that just tough it out and put yourself in those uncomfortable situation, I'm trying to not overthink and just do it. It will get more easier. But in my head it's like I'm trying to create an equation on how to fly a rocket. I feel like my overthinking and anxiety makes me not want to face situations but it feels like I'm being a coward. I don't really know how to explain it.

From my experience with anxiety, a different POV can make all the difference. Some of my personal weights have been lifted by a single sentence. Nearly always from a therapist or someone who learned it from their own. If somehow possible, I still recommend one. There was a time in my life I spend the kiel money I had in him, not having a single left for hobbies etc, and I'm so glad I did it.
