May be your afraid Resulting from a lack of reading and the absence of many friends rally around you. Try to read more and more In all fields, and discuss what you read with your dear friends, and put in your consideration that people like Speakers a lot than silent. Do not worry about falling into errors, remember that all people have their mistakes.

There are a few things I am scared of and I can't do a thing about it....like the fear of losing one of my kids or grandkids...on the other hand I do have fears I can try to conquer...like my fear of heights......or my fear of carwashes.....yup....that's what I said. I don't like being closed in small spaces for very long..and a few years ago I got stuck in one!

I'm scared of heights - too close and i get dizzy or sick or move back really fast. I stay away from cliffs or edges. I dont go up ladders...and open stairways to things like waterslides scare me so i tend to avoid those!

Anyone who used to climb the heights of his childhood, or housing in the roles for high. those people used to climb on the inexperience and not afraid of heights.

The problem is the intense fear of parents to their children, Which makes them not put their children for any risk. It is the fear infection transmitted from parents to children.

I have many times I'm afraid to do things like start talking to a girl spontaneously , arguing with someone , I don't have real things that i'm afraid of too much. Maybe things that i'm worried about but not afraid ... When I was a kid , I was afraid of the darkness , cocroaches , dogs , ummm...i'm over it now ... I'm afraid of getting to situations I may lose control and be too angry ,those situations i'm trying to avoid , well , most of the times.

I think that fear usually comes from lack of knowledge of the nature of the thing that we face. We must therefore all be fully aware of most of the topics that may deal with it. And foremost we must be believers in God the Creator of everything.

Before i reply, i have to correct the statement of " Abraham believed in god and had only a minor fear sacrificing his son , izhak , for GOD", the son of Abraham was Ismail, not Isaac. If we go back to the discussion, I would like to say as much faith in our Creator and what we learn from the knowledge is not our fear of what might happen to us. Abraham believed in god and Did not have any fear when they threw him alive into the fire. Abraham thinking and believe, was like you put in your comment, " you can maybe figure out you don't care about it because you will go to heaven and the dying is only the passage to there". Fear and faith have a Reverse proportion.

I know that feeling and not sure it is such a bad thing really. However, it is good to find something where you want or need to be alone and then think of how pleasant it is. Independence?

I am afraid of hospitals and medical procedures. Therefore when pregnant I write a birth plan that says things like 'don't touch me' and 'don't break the waters'. I have sentences like 'please let me give birth naturally'. I have had three home births. I would be too afraid to give birth in a hospital. I am scared at the dentist so I use an eye mask and wear headphones to listen to music. I used to have a very frightening dentist. I managed to find a wonderfully gentle, kind, thoughtful and understanding dentist. I saw him a couple of months ago and I will be seeing him again next week. I am scared of poisonous spiders and poisonous snakes. I would be scared to swim and snorkel around crocodiles. However I like swimming and snorkeling with small sharks and sting rays. I did that in French Polynesia and Belize.

Hospitals now at the highest level of medical equipment, so Your fear is not in place. You are right in your fear of spiders and snakes, but what about Rats?

I am afraid of plenty of things. I think not thinking about them helps a great deal, why cause unnecessary worry. I'm afraid of say mice, I'm not going to inspect every day every where I go for them. Instead I let the cats worry about them it's their job besides keeping us company to worry about them.

Mice more disturbing than anything else, so I am afraid of them much, especially because I do not raise a cats in my house.

I am afraid to drive. I have no idea how to overcome this fear for good. To some it may seem crazy but when I was 16 all my friends were so excited about learning to drive and I never had any desire to learn even then I was too afraid. I have also never had anyone really patient to teach me and I cannot afford private lessons so I guess I will be stuck with this fear forever! =(

Problem in the presence of a calm nature and the teacher who teaches without neurological.

Well I guess to drive you do need a car? Something in a parking lot without anything around you or a lonely road with a quiet friend that is comforting, you might find the easiest or you could not drive and consider that driving sometimes is a real pain. I like driving in certain conditions depending how I feel but often it is real pain too in traffic. Want to go for a drive with me? We go to the country for a picnic ...

I was always afraid I would die and my kids would be left alone and not able to remember me. Now my eldest can/will take care of the youngest, they are close and they can remember me. So there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Always remember that Our faith in God, our good works and communication with others do not make us never be alone.
