Everyone possesses some deep down fears inside themselves, which sometimes causes problems for them or even obscure to see the benefits lies in facing their fears.

Hello guys please check the sentence and tell me how its sound?

And I don't think this part about the fears preventing their victims from seeing the benefits of facing them is OK, because I can't help perceiving it as a strange, logically wrong self-reference. If there's no fears, there's no need to face any fears, and if they are there, they keep you well from picking an idea to face them. That's not right to me.

"I want to say that fears prevents us to resolve our problems and also fade the benefits lies behind in facing and resolving issues."

BTW, this is already better, 'cause you got rid of the self-reference having replaced 'fears' with 'problems'.

First, this sentence has some grammar errors.
1. You can't say "prevent to", use "prevent from" inseted.
2. I don't get what you

Hi cute,
If you use “everyone” which is singular in context, then you shouldn’t use “them” and “themselves” as pronoun.




The relative clause is quite awkward and unnatural in tone and also has agreement problem with singular and plural. “Which” refers to “fears” here. Then “sometimes causes..” is not correct.



I gathered this is what you tried to say
