Fear

Fear

I have some pretty deep seeded fears that effect me from time to time, like the fear of being trapped with someone I'm not compatible with, (commitment issues ) the fear that I'm annoying someone when I really just find them wonderful to be around, a fear of not measuring up, the fear of being completely bat shit crazy, the fear of losing what I hold dear, and the fear of being too happy and having it snatched away to name a few.
What are you most afraid of, and how do you deal with it?

My biggest fear is messing up when i finally meet a lady after so long, not doing or saying the right things or even in the bedroom not knowing how to excite her. Maybe i will be nervous i don't really know.

Truth,kindness and respect is what i give,and thats all i ask in return

How to treat the ladies There39s a right way and a wrong way

Usually I just suck it up and push forward. I force myself to do things I'm afraid of, and I work on seeing the positive in things. But I have moments.

My big fear is being on my own in my old age and not sure how I'd cope. I'm happy that my brother & 3 sisters all live in the same town and see them all the time.

That is a fear of mine as well. Working in the nursing home I've seen a lot that makes me think about the future and what it may hold. Having family around is wonderful.

I don't really fear anything anymore. Whatever happens to me in this life, I'll either deal with it or live with it.

I used to have fear of abandonment, so to speak. My marriage didn't go so well, my ex cheated on me and left me lonely on a regular basis, took my daughter away from me. For a very long time after that I became clingy, needy and it ruined what may have been very good relationships. I became insecure with myself with feelings of inadequecy. After a while I came to realize that nothing of what happened in my marriage was strictly my fault and that all of the deep seeded feelings I had about myself were just plain wrong.

It's funny how the ways we feel about ourselves get in the way and how long those insecurities can hold sway over us. In the end you are just going to have to sit down with yourself and take a really deep look into yourself and find out who you are, and if you are your own worst enemy (as I was) or if what you think about yourself is real and true. If how you feel about yourself is true it's time to sit back and mend any open wounds you my have and take stock in who and what you are and try to fix them and become the person you know you should be.

That is the wonderful thing about human nature, there is nothing that is so bad it can't be fixed

BANG! POW! BOOM! a study in useless knowledge and sick humor!

I've thought about this a lot too but what I wonder is, if you lose your mind, do you miss it?

I have a fear of abandonment, but it's also made me a bit more detached from people, not clingy. I have a hard time getting close to anyone. It may be a bit of insecurity, or it may just be because people are unreliable. I know who I am, and I that I am my own worst enemy, and that I tend to over-think things from time to time. My disappointment in people leads me to withdraw from things and others sometimes. But I regroup and get back out there.

What are you most afraid of? Well we share the same fear of not measuring up and fear of being too happy and having it snatched away, but I think most people who have experienced loss will have those at least for a little while. Especially the second one, that is probably a real biggy for me so I've learned to be comfortably numb. A related fear I have is the "what if they were right, what if I was holder them back?" fear. I have a fear of being misunderstood, which kept me from coming out of my shell when I was younger. With my sense of humor, I sometimes worry people will think I'm a bad person. I'm afraid to live the life of my parents, which I seem cursed to do, and in turn I worry about some how passing that curse onto my nephew. As to the part about how I deal with it, apparently not well, not well at all. I mostly try to find ways to laugh about it and when that doesn't work I take a sad little comfort in the fact that it all ends the same despite your successes or failures, fears or accomplishments. It's all just a joke, so what's there to be afraid of?

Maybe that's just it, I'm not comfortable feeling numb and I just can't keep it up. I'm just too irrepressible I guess. I know the end, I just want to enjoy the journey as much as I can.

It really is OK to annoy those you like to be around, I do it all the time!

I can’t say as I have any fears that are unresolved but the notion of starting again from scratch at my age or an illness that would leave me weak and feeble catches on the inside sometimes. I can’t deal with either as neither has happened, so for me, I pretend they can’t.
