I'm a person who is scared of ghosts and other creepy things but what i want to do is to conquer that fear. I want to conquer all my fears but the problem is I don't know how... any tips or opinion in the stage I'm undergoing?

I'm scared of quite a few things too, although far less than when I was younger. I managed to conquer some of my fears by the 'flooding' technique, whereby you sort of overload yourself with the fear. For instance, if you're terrified of the dark, walk around in your house in darkness until the fear lifts, but that technique doesn't work for all fears. There's always cognitive behaviourial therapy whereby you learn new responses to things thereby replacing the old and instilled responses you have, but that can be expensive - it seems to have a high success rate though.

I think no one in this world that does not experience fear, there's hundred of things and situation to fear. I myself self fear a lot of things and I was able to conquer some of those and what I did was very simple, just always try to confront those fear and sooner you will learn that you don't fear it anymore.
