Fear.
According to dictionary.com, fear is "adistressingemotionarousedbyimpendingdanger,evil,pain,etc.,whetherthethreatisrealorimagined;thefeelingorconditionof beingafraid."
Fear stops us from doing things we want to try and do. Personally for me at this moment it is stopping me from doing a lot of things I want to do in life. But why? I am not sure. Maybe it is cause I am unsure how the outcome will turn out. What can come. Who knows. I asked people on Facebook what they fear about in life. Here are some responses I got.
"Losing my parents and my kid(s) losing me."
"I fear not being as close as I am to my sisters, and why, because we have such a strong bond and they're the most important people to me so I don't know how I'd survive if I didn't have them in my life, for guidance or for anything. They're a part of me."
"Not being able to have children, not finding someone to give all my love to, dying and having no one miss me."
"Accidentally plagiarizing."
"A loveless marriage"
"Losing my parents"
"Reaching an old age and realizing I haven't learned enough/experienced enough and it being too late."
"Dying alone."
"Heights."
"Anonymous Death."
"Heights. When I'm near the edge of something I feel my heart sink and I get lightheaded."
"Lightning."
"Driving over bridges."
For me, I have many. Unfortunately my biggest one is dying and getting older, which of course we can't control. Second I have to agree is losing my parents, third is jumping into the wrong career choice and ending up worse then I am now. Fourth is never finding someone who loves me and understands me enough to put up with me.
I hope I can find the courage to overcome my fears so I can live a happy and fulfilling life, as well as everyone around me.
