It’s been a weak of fearful things around here, which ties in perfectly with this week’s question:<\/p>\n

List a few phobias that you have. When and how did you discover you had these fears?<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\n1. Heights<\/u> – This has always been something with me. I was never the kid to run to the top of the bleachers and standing on a chair to change a light bulb made me nervous. As I’ve gotten older, it’s only gotten worse. I try to challenge it every now and then, but I’m not very good at it.<\/p>\n

2. Death<\/u> – This isn’t phobia level, but it’s certainly a fear. I don’t fear my own death but those who are closest to me. I, like so many others, don’t handle heavy emotional blows very well and I sometimes worry about what would happen to me if someone I loved deeply died suddenly.<\/p>\n

3. Questions I don’t know how to answer<\/u> – aka looking dumb. I avoided doing podcasts and interviews for a long time because I was afraid I’d come across as dumb or not as good as other people. I’ve been working on that though and realizing that people will accept me for who I am, even when I say something silly.<\/p>\n

That’s my list! What do you fear? What holds you back?<\/p>\n
