I wish someone explained risk like this before I started investing

When I first got into investing, I thought risk only meant losing money. That’s it. I didn’t think deeper than that.

Now I see risk is also about how you react. It’s panic selling when the market drops. It’s buying something just because everyone online is talking about it. It’s putting money into things you don’t fully understand. It’s investing cash you might actually need soon.
