I am unable to buy risky stocks

No matter how hard I try to convince myself to buy something with high risk high reward, I end up chickening out.

The only stocks I own are Berkshire Hathaway, and some pharma/defensive plays like ABBV, WMT, V, KO.

I just watch my portfolio stagnate over the last couple of years, barely beating inflation and underperforming the S&P500.

I literally had buy orders for RDDT, INTC, and MU one year ago which I canceled before they realized.

How to get some balls and buy those risky stocks?
