I Want to Face My Fears

I have no problem facing any of my fears. Except i have no desire at all to face spiders. They are nasty little things and belong under my boot. Even if i don't fear them one day i still hate them.

I've suffered from a lot of nightmares, both in my childhood and during my teenage years. One dream I've frequently encountered, has included a human-like monster which never fails to terrify the hell out of me! However, in one...

The darkness of it was taking over my whole self

The power and pain of it was consuming me

Feeding on my weaknesses and painful dreads

Seeing horrible illusions in my head

I couldn't escape it

It left me crying

Now that I think about it...I really don't want to face them. I'll keep them in the closet, under the bed, and...oh yeah...there's that one in the basement too.

All my life I've been afraid.
Afraid of people and their judgement, yet they have judged me and I'm still here.
Afraid of humiliation and embarasement, which is always a possibility, and yet it is more what i regret not doing...

I don't know how to face and/or overcome my fears. I am so afraid of growing old and dying. My only two fears. It's not some concrete fear that I can just step out in front of and face. I don't want to grow old. I'll lose more people...

Apparently I'm afraid of many things. And some of those things are slowing my life down, preventing me to live and do as I please.I'm afraid of- driving a car. I have driver's licence, but getting behind the wheel terrifies me- being...

I am 21 now, and I don't have the fears I think I should.
I fear things like money problems and doing well in school, but my controlling fears are more those of a five year old: fear of what's in the dark, fear of waking up and seeing...

i do not like being yelled at and always avoid conflict. i often let people walk all over me and struggle with being assertive, i don't know why i always think the worst is going to happen..it seldom does

Yup that's a fact all the resof the stuff in life we fear are learned fears...
Fears none the less...

It feels nice to have people who share similar experiences.

Feet frozen I stand before the forboding forest of fear yet...

I have always believed in facing my fears.  I often go out of my way to face a fear so that it will no longer be one.
I thought I had a fear of heights and couldn't even get onto the top of a step ladder.  To fix this problem...
