Do you try to overcome your fears?... or do you accept that you're afraid of them and keep your distance?

have you had previous fears you are not afraid of anymore now?
How did you overcome them?

share.

another one of your fear threads tee?:rolleyes:

yeah...got a problem? :hmm:

(did I open another one? :XD: )... anyways... answer the Q dork!!

^ lol!

My biggest fear is "death".. I don't think I can overcome that...

Other fears or phobias in another word, include car accidents or air plane crash.. I am over plane crashes, I don't know how though.. and car accidents, not over it yet!

I'm afraid of being stabbed.

But I don't think I'll worry too much about overcoming it.

I knew a girl once who was afraid of heights. She didn't like being afraid of them.

She climbed up this

which has a staircase inside open to the air and with just slats to walk on with gaps between them and she was absolutely terrified, clinging to the sides and almost crying.

When we finally got down and walked away, she turned around and said:

"I want to do that again."

And she did. But this time without hesitating. Right up, looking the whole time. And down again.

I tried to overcome my fear recently. But then my fear came buzzing in my face right when I was making my porridge :( And it was as big as the palm of my hand and MADE NOISES!!!!!!!!!
Did I mention it came right up to my face??

The death of my beloved ones..
The thought of it used to make my eyes tear.
Recently, many of my close family members died, I didn't even tear! I felt real sad but just the tears didn't come out, it was sadness mixed with anger.
Did I overcome that problem?
Yes.
However, it has created another bigger problem!

Yeah I try to.. by simplifying things, I just think why am I afraid of this or that, what exactly am I afraid of, and stuff like that.. then it's like wuuhuu wth I'm greeat I can over come anything :D.. I know that..

systematic desensitisation....
learnt about it in psychology. it does work. are you afraid of something? force yourself to take it slowly in small doses. until you realise there is nothing to fear.
