Confront your fears...

I can muster up the courage to do public speaking, but I wouldn't know what to speak about.

then you would really love impromptu speeches. that's when they just hand you a little note card with a random subject to speak about 5 minutes before its your turn to speak. my first time around, i had to talk about 'the Earth.' i did just fine on that one. then the second round came around and sexual abuse was the topic i got handed; a sure sign that God hates me. well i got a minute into it and had an anxiety attack. it's pretty much the only thing i remember about speech class.

At this point, I'd be willing to put up with the unintelligent people; if it meant we could be rid of the people lacking common sense. Mars doesn't have space for them.

Sophophobia — Fear of learning
 
I wouldn't like to talk of such things, But I would want people to notice it.
 
Dying alone.

Losing my friends and my family.

Any kind of abuse, mostly mental/emotional.

Being raped.

Drowning, even though I know how to swim.

Starting my car and exploding..
 
Hmm, Have you confronted any of these fears?

Most of those aren't really fears you can confront... :huh:

Er..Well, the mental/emotional abuse...yeah. Kinda in the process..

Naturally, I don't like when people tamper with my feelings so I seem distant or indifferent but I'm learning to open up.

And losing my family/friends; I fear them dying prematurely. I don't like to think about.
 
I'm only afraid of pointed objects when I'm wet.
 
ok, I've got some good news for all the people who are scared of death. Take it from me, I've been there. When you are absolutely certain you are going to die, all that fear goes away. The real fear doesn't return till you have managed to convince yourself you are going to make it. If you are in a car crash and know you are going to die, you will feel no fear. :yay:

Yes, thanks to our weak, primitive bodies.

Crazy this world we live in huh? I grew up with a bunch of cousins... after a while a few of the older ones realised I was too dumb to talk if they gave me something to keep me quiet. Chocolate was the classic. Then cash. I got out of it at about 14- told the ******* where to shove it. No coincidence that his buddy attacks me a few months later. I was earning him a lot of cash by the time I was that old. I was only taking 30%, but taking a ten is a lot when you're only 14. If I haddn't OD'd, I'd quite possibly be a hooker by now.

Looks like everyone missed this post. But the Hawk didn't.

"One more time 24, one more time...*crack of bat*
