Five of My Biggest Fears

4/19/2016

Fear Quote
I am and always have been a worrier.

I'm OCD about my hair straightener; I have to check it at least twice before I leave the house because I worry I'll burn the house down. We've had to turn around on a family trip so I could check it.

I worry about burglars. I worry about making mistakes at work. I worry about a lot of things.

I've always been a fearful person. I'm the one thinking about what could go wrong. My list of fears is huge.

But I'm working on it. I'm trying to find the courage to overcome them. It's tough, though. Here are my five biggest fears at the moment.

1. Needles

I would actually define this is a downright phobia. I can't look at a needle or a picture of a needle. I can't think about it. Someone talking about a needle makes me squirm. If I have to get a shot, I squirm and tear up. 

2. Elevators

I will walk up thirteen flights of stairs to avoid an elevator. Seriously. Once I'm in, I panic. I'm terrified of being trapped in it. I would never, ever, ever ride the elevator ride at Disney called the Tower of Terror. I get sick even thinking about it.

3. Tornadoes 

I've never been in a tornado, but ever since I was little, I've been afraid of them. When it gets really windy, I panic. A few times, we had a Tornado Watch when I was home alone. I went to the basement.

4. Lightening

I still sit in the hallway if there is a bad storm. Henry also doesn't like storms, so we comfort each other :)

5. Death

This could also just be labeled fear of the unknown. I'm a control freak. Unless you are the grim reaper, you don't control death. I guess this bothers me.

Overcoming Fear

Will I ever overcome these fears?

I can hope so. I can say I will. But I don't know.

I honestly am not working toward overcoming them. If I had, I would've gotten my tattoo by now, went on those roller coasters, and faced up to the rest of them. 

But I'm not taking any steps toward it.

I think that's okay. So many experts tell us fear prevents us from living, but maybe not. Maybe fear is just part of the human experience. If I didn't carry these fears, who knows how different my life would be. Just like our strengths and talents, our fears do define us. We tend to see this as a bad thing, but is it? Isn't it just a part of what makes us different?
