MY BIGGEST FEARS
Just like everyone else, I am afraid of things. This is a list of some of my greatest fears and why I fear them...
1. SNAKES (ophidiophobia) - I cannot explain in detail why I am afraid of snakes. Maybe it is the unpredictability that they have to strike or the fact that they blend in with the scenery. I think that I forever viewed snakes as evil creatures, but I do not know why I am so deathly afraid.
2. LONELINESS (monophobia) - While the chances of truly being alone in this world are little to none, I am terrified that I may not be physically by myself, but emotionally and mentally alone. A fear that stems out of loneliness is the fear that no one will love me enough to marry me in the future. I want everything that comes from friendships and relationships with your family and friends. True and utter happiness is my goal in life and I do not feel as though I can get there on my own.
3. A BAD DIAGNOSIS - When you read all of these news stories of people who are suddenly diagnosed with life threatening diseases, it changes your opinion, or at least mine. Whenever I feel any strange or peculiar feeling or pain, I immediately start to question everything. Even if there are many possible diagnoses that don't have a major effect, I focus on that one bad diagnosis. This fear may be odd and different from any normal fears, but I believe that one day I may discover something truly wrong with me or someone near to me.
4. NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH (atelophobia) - Self confidence is something that I struggle with on a daily basis. In friendships, I am asking if I am good enough to be their friend or if I can be the person that they need. In relationships, I keep on going back and forth between who the 'reacher' and who the 'settler' is. Am I pretty enough to be dating this person? Am I deserving of them? Jealousy is present in everyone, it just takes strength and willpower to push it back and focus on being confident and happy with who you are.
