get over my fears

i’m scared of people, and it’s really not a secret. i hate talking to people i don’t know, especially if i’m the one who has to initiate the conversation, and am not completely comfortable around anyone but my family. i can’t hug anybody (my best friend decided it looks like i’m “either it burned or she’s going to cry, i just can’t decide which”.). I can barely walk next to people (i’m comfortable enough around my friends that i can walk next to them, be somewhat vulnerable, and sometimes even risk a hug.)
i used to be scared of death. even though i constantly dream of the end of my or my loved ones, the fear of death has almost completely vanished.
so, if i can get over one fear, i can get over the rest.

my biggest fears: everything (including people, dying in a car accident, failing, letting my good friends down, saying the wrong thing, being alone forever, my parents not coming home, divorce, traffic lights, never learning to do certain things, mud, chimpanzees, ect.)

I fear alot of things at times I think im becoming paranoid really.Physical fears like being bumped by a car dont scare me that much but emotional fears like failing when I do things,Loving cause I fear getting hurt then i refuse to open up.I hate myself cause i feel Im confused and mad at myself.I want to get over this for myself I want to forget the things that happened in the past so I can move on with m life.
Today im feeling very ag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay it is really just one fear and it sounds so stupid but when I was around 10 I had a bad allergic reaction to paint now the funny thing is when I was 16 or so I painted a few rooms no problem but in the past year or so for some reason I have freeked out when I smell paint like I think im gonna have another allergic reaction like when I was younger go figure that out lol

I’m so afraid when I’m home alone..I wanna get over it so I can be comfortable in our house when my boyfriend is at work. Any sound I hear scares the shit outta me.

I’m also afraid of dying. I suddenly lost my Grandpa, and I think that’s contributing to that fear.

Not that I don’t still have fears…but I used to be a really big wimp. I’m not afraid of the dark anymore, or of roller coasters and those were two big ones. So I feel good enough about it to check off my list.

I wish i could get over these things. they will sound quite wierd, but oh well.

-Im afraid of sleeping with 2 sheets. (like both the top and bottom)and if i only use one sheet it has to be the bottom and it cant be cotton.
-Im afraid of things touching my feet when i sleep or when i walk around objects.
-im terrified of dark closets. cant go near them if i do i cant breathe and i curl up in a ball or just cant move at all.
- im afraid of sex with men
- im afaid of crowds. If im in them i have a panic attack
-im afraid of men in general.
-im terrified of water that has fish. i cant swim in lakes or oceans, and i have a fish tank at home and if i drop anything in it i have to empty out the whole thing instead of just getting the fish out into a seperate bowl because im afraid fish are hiding in the rocks at the bottom and will try to bite my fingers…. saddest part is that the fish are molly’s.
- im terrified of the dark.
- im afraid that if i am home alone or outside alone i will be raped. once i was home alone and someone knocked on my glass dore and i was so afraid that it was a man trying to come in and rape me that i ran to the kitchen and grabbed a huge knife. turned out it was just my aunt. sadly she laughed at me and made fun of me when she came in through the door and i was in the corner with the knife.
- i am afraid to not be in a relationship
- and im afraid of getting too fat (but i used to be bulemic and got extreemly skinny so now im also afraid of getting too skinny again)

I have so many fears i just dont know where to start. i dont know which one should be the first to overcome. i have a feeling i will be trying to get rid of all these fears till the day i die.

But I’m scared, everyone has to have something they’re afraid of, right? Sometimes it’s common silly ones like bugs, or water. Other times it’s more serious like heights, or fire. I’m not saying that bugs or water aren’t dangerous. It’s just that well people usually die from fires or falling not from drowning or an insect bite.

Go buy that book. Had to do this many times and really changes you as a person.

my biggest fear is rape or molestation. i can’t stand it. i get scared when my dog barks and i am home alone. my mind goes wild. i freak out and almost begin to cry. i can barely walk home alone without being scared.

I don’t have any major massive fears but loads of little annoying ones. I think I must have a sort of anxiety problem in general. I’m scared of things now which I wasn’t scared of a year ago! It’s weird! My fears include:

Phone
Boats
Planes
Opening Presents
Indecision
Being sick
Being drunk
Being ill

and on and on and on…. to be fair to myself even though I have these fears I still travel on planes and have a glass of wine etc. But I’d like to enjoy these experiences instead of dreading them!!
