Fear

I'm afraid of a lot of things and I don't want to be. I don't want to let my fears control my life, and worse yet, I don't want my fears and inadequacies to be passed down to my children. So maybe in acknowledging what scares me, I'll be less afraid.

I'm afraid of snakes.
I'm afraid of spiders.
Public speaking.
Heights.
Being the center of attention.
Going somewhere new on my own.
What other people think of me.
Being unprepared.
Causing a car accident.
And hurting someone else.
Turning into a bad mother.
Saying the wrong thing.
Doing the wrong thing.
Making a fool of myself.
Responsibility.
Being alone.
Confrontation.
Change.
Failure.
Success.
The dentist.

What are you afraid of?

  1. my two major fears are Heights and people talking about me, i get very paranoid occasionally when out and about thinking people are passing comment on me.

  2. Wow you nailed if not all, but most of my fears in there! Not sure about snakes, spiders, and the dentist. But the rest yes.

  3. I'm deathly afraid of rivers, lakes and oceans. I can't be more than a few feet from shore. I thought I was going to die when I went snorkeling.
