Stomach drops and anxiety browsing investing forums and forums like this

[Baban]

I see the stakes as too high (investing money, learning the jargon etc) and can't bring myself to browse forums like this or r/investing or whatever. How do I fix this?

Getting the hang of smart investing isn't too complicated. The trick is often just to invest in an index fund that follows the market. History has shown that even the pros rarely manage to beat the market consistently over time. The fact that there's a whole industry dedicated to trying, despite the odds, really speaks to how strong the allure is, and the common traps in human psychology.
