Interestingly enough, I had a big fear of dogs. I don’t really know why because I’ve never had a traumatic experience with them (thank God I never got bitten).
I also feared being alone, darkness (but not much) and heights. Woah, I was a fearful kid.
Today, well, I only fear those big, aggressive dogs like kangals and rottweilers. As for darkness and loneliness, nah.
Crippling fear of social interactions with strangers. Especially making phone calls.
I’m not afraid of it anymore but still don’t like it either. Turns out that exposing yourself to your fears helps you get over them. Who would’ve thought?
