That's fear too. Fear of looking bad to your peer groups.


No, it's pride. Wanting to not look bad to your peers (who aren't part of your tribe) because it reflects poorly on your tribe is pride.

"If I'm lazy, people will think all Mexicans are lazy." is not a fear motivator. It's motivated by pride and a sense of internal self worth.


Fear of looking bad is a far different thing than fear of unemployment, though.
