Your biggest fears


Ene

Recommended Posts

I actually have the opposite problem that a lot of people do: I'm great when I'm talking within/in front of a group (hence why I like, say, forums), and public speaking is rarely too stressful for me. But when I need to talk one on one with someone, it doesn't matter how well I know them- I start feeling nervous about it. I'm always worried that I'm going to screw things up with that person. Basically, I'd rather embarrass myself in front of a crowd than say something in private that could cost me a close relationship. It's hard to explain, but... well, that's why I'm really bad at responding to private messages of any form, be it PMs here, texts, emails, etc. I have a well-deserved reputation in my family for never responding to anyone's texts.

Hmm, I almost wish I could have that problem instead since mine is the opposite^^;  I very much prefer 1-on-1, since in a group setting I tend to disappear into the background because I can get quiet from nervousness depending on how big the group is, and who I know/don't know.  I can be shy and very self-conscious, so if there's only 1 person to focus on, it's not as bad compared to many people I have to worry about.. and it can paralyze me or I get panic attacks >_<;  This is why I dislike presentations in front of crowds.... my legs/hands/voice can shake against my will.  I have to try and calm myself down or fight back the paranoid thoughts.  On the outside, I may appear calm if my feelings haven't leaked out yet, but inside my mind is like AHHH%@*#& get me out of here.  :michiru:

 

I think that fear of mine influences me a bit on the forum even, but to a lesser extent probably because of the feeling of anonymity.

Usually I end up trying to go to another room, if at all possible ^^;;  I've become a bit better at telling when I'm near my limit though.

See, I think that's what I like about being in groups, is that if I mess up I can blend in while I try and recompose myself. ^^ As for public speaking, it honestly used to scare me a lot more than it does now. At some point, though, I realized that what makes it better for me is making myself seem funnier when I'm in front of other people. If the crowd is laughing, I feel a lot more at ease than when everyone is silently watching me with no emotions, so I'm the type that ALWAYS cracks a few jokes while I'm giving a presentation.

If I were afraid of dentists I would probably have had dental implants at this point, not that my teeth are particularly good as it is... My genetics really suck in that regard :vinty:

Although dentists were probably much scarier back before local anesthetics :P

Spiders. More specifically, the species in the Tegeneria family. Fascinating but horrible, and I'd never, EVER let one touch me given the chance ;_;

 

I also fear that I'm not going to achieve anywhere near what I could do, but if I think that's gonna stop me from posting on internet forums then I have another thing coming!

Bugs and big dogs.

Also I don't have it anymore but I used to have a sort of phobia that I would wake up and something would be standing by my bed. It could have been anything, just the thought of waking up to some animal or something standing by my bed watching me or something. It was a really serious fear of mine so I spent quite a few years of my life sleeping with my face to the wall every night. I didn't care if whatever it was that appeared at my bedside killed me or whatever, as long as I didn't have to see it first.

I got over it when I learned that 18+ thoughts were super effective at banishing fearful thoughts. It's almost bizarre how well it works. I used to be a super scaredy-cat that had nightmares all the time, then I played my first H-game, read my first hentai manga, and realized that when I thought dirty thoughts all my fearful thoughts would scatter right away.

 

Don't buy the religious hype; the opposite of fear is not faith, the opposite of fear is porn.
