when I was younger my fears ranged from planes, fires, cars, clowns, falling, boats, and other natural disasters. With those fears I was annoyed that I kept hiding my life from the world. Although, I am still a cautious person I find that I am strengthening myself to over come my fears. I started off with planes, I was traveling more when I reached middle school so that I would I have to fly more. I hated it but the more I did it the more I was able to over come the fear of flying. I have not been on a plane since 9/11 so I am a little nervous but I think I will be fine because when I am with people I dont know too well I can stay strong. For fires I have not over come the fear I gained knowledge of the fear so I feel that If I am in a situation I can handle myself I think. Cars I had the hidden fear of getting into a car crash or that someone else that I care about my get into a car crash and die because it is such a common thing in the modern world. Clowns: my fear of clowns started when I was younger when bozo the clown startled me with a rubber fried chicken leg. Also there face was scarry, I tried over coming that fear with dressing as one but that didnt do anything. I have never been one for people in costume ex. santa. Falling is a fear I have not been able to over come in that I still feel unsafe on roller coasters and other things like that. Natural distaters I have learned that I can avoid them by keeping myself safe. I am glad that I wrote this down because I dont like being afraid but more I dont like being uncomfortable with my fears. My only fears I have now are Falling and I tend to get disturbed by clowns in certain pictures and with certain masks.
