    I'm scared that if people really knew me they would find me unloveable.

    I am very shy and self conscious and find it really hard to walk into a room and meet new people... One of my goals right now is to speak to someone new at every opportunity

    Odd numbers.
    I bought a car with no volume numbers and my dad fixed every tv in the house to not show a volume bar.
    No joke.

    What do you do about your phone, that I assume you have?

    So if I don't wear underwear I won't have any fears? Let me try that.

    Most bugs but especially spiders (it's a phobia...and I'm going to tell myself that photo posted wasn't real, even if it was...sometimes denial IS better...)

    Sudden loud noises, which has led to a fear (well, anxiety really) of several things including balloons- I HATE balloons!!!!

    I am ridiculously afraid of the thought of eternity. No end. No beginning. Just the inability to know how it began and knowing there will be no end. It freaks me out. I feel like hyperventilating just thinking about it.

    I also get terrified and have to sleep with a bible under my pillow any time I watch a movie about demons and paranormla stuffs.

    Seems like these two are related...

    How So?

    Both involve the unexplainable or incomprehensible.

    Suspension bridges scare the piss out of me. And uncontained fires. The kind that burn quick and kill families. That is all.

    "Fears are like underwear" - I thought you meant I should use clean, nice ones every day in case I get hurt and rushed to the hospital.....

    I used to be afraid of heights. More accurately, afraid of falling from high places. I started riding rollercoasters, realized I love them and started skydiving every weekend. I still get a tingle in my gut when I'm climbing a ladder or looking down from somewhere high or about to jump out of a plane but it is definitely not paralyzing like it used to be.

    Wow, good for you for taking charge of your fear like that!
