Fearless

Fear can be inhibiting, it hinders or restrains us from doing things that may or may not result in progress in our lives. Fear can also save us from making dangerous mistakes. Some people fear growing old, death, living alone, bankruptcy - or simple fears like - spiders, snakes etc. Two of my main fears are (1) being stuck in an elevator and (2) - being confronted by a wild animal. I doubt there is anyone who can claim to be completely fearless. What are some of your fears? Image from pixabay.

Making a woman angry with me and... hmm... I may have to think about this for a while... Talk with the next person while I try to think of something else that scares me...

If you have to think long and hard about it - then it means that you don't have many fears.

@DaddyEvil Sorry, l couldn't help laughing at that line - " l don't date fat men" . But seriously l think she had a vision problem. The poor woman mistook muscle for fat - it was her loss. You were better off without her.

@Kandae11 I never did find out why she said that. I still don't laugh about it. I was in shock for hours after it happened.

I am afraid of loneliness as I cannot stay alone that's the reason I don't let my kids go anywhere, at least one of them stays with me.

Though I tend to take life as it happens, I do not want to be a burden on others. You can say that is the one fear in my mind. Uncertainty too plays in my mind till I find the reality.

There are a lot of people who fear that -- being a burden on others. Some also fear getting old, not being able to help themselves and having to depend on others to do things for them.

I guess making a mistake by selling my house and getting into a situation I really don't enjoy. At the same time, I don't want to miss an opportunity..but I have to have something that will work for me to go to. This is quite a nice and modern house, and everything else I have looked at, is not as nice, or has high fees associated with it, either HOA or condo. I can't move to something I am not happy with though. Also, the dark, mice and rats.

@Kandae11 Well domesticated mice are quite different than wild little rodents in your home.

I understand the kind of fear you would feel about decision making where your home is concerned. It is a big step and naturally you won't want to make a mistake. I can never understand how people could have mice as pets - but then, some also keep snakes as pets.

I suffer of claustrophobia and I ate being stuck in an elevator (it happened), but this is not my main fear. My main fear is being buried alive. My Notary has a letter, I want to be cremated, all my relatives know and my husband knows, this thing gives me nightmares.

I have a fear of heights. I am terrified at the top of a ladder. I have fears of wild animals too. The dumbest fear I have is eating food that I didn't prepare.

I feel with you concerning elevators. If the doors of an elevator open and I see many people inside, I don't get in. I step back until I can get into one where there is more free space.

My fear of elevators became more intense( I am claustrophobic as well) after this incident. I was on my way up to the fifth floor of an office building. I exited the elevator which was located right in front of the office door l planned to enter. When l opened the door l noticed an eerie silence- nothing appeared to be working. It seems the power went off immediately after l stepped out of the elevator.l was the only person in that elevator.....
