 Maybe Hallowe'en is coming, maybe Minh's post about ghosts impressed me so much, but I want to talk about human's phobias. What are you scary about? What phobias do you have ? As far as I am concened, I don't mind to be the witch, but only young and attractive. I am afraid to get old, because I have so much to do and scary not to accomplish it. I am afraid to waste time and life, because it never come back. 

 What are you scary about? What phobias do you have?

Well, there are lots of fears that we have, like sometimes when I wake up from the midnight, I am fearful of death, thinking it would so terrible that the earth keeps turning without me…I guess most of ppl have such fears…

Ok, let's talk about some concrete phobias, I am scared of the animals, like snakes, etc, they make me creepy…and I am an acrophobe, thanks to my mom.  I am really so afraid of high places, I seldom climb the towers, or some places like that.  Even I do, I would never look down.  When I climb a mountain, I never walk close to the cliff. I do not lean against any glass walls of the high buildings…i just fear that the glass walls will break suddenly and I fall to the ground.

I know it is non sensible, but I just can not get it rid of, kinda funny, huh? take care

Yeah! I have many phobias, like sherryleio, I am scared of snakes much especially poisonous snakes but I don't know why I still want to see them Laughing. I also feared when I was swimming in a very deep lake or going far from coast without a buoy I felt as if there is something may attack me from the deep water even in fact I'm sure there isn't anything like this…. I am scared of many things and I think each person has his/her own phobias. I think loneliness is one that I am scared of.

 Fear exist only in our minds, it is not real. It is a limitation of the mind.Go out there and achieve your impossible. All the power, time and resources you need GOD has deposited inside of you.It is not over until you said it is over.

<>Hi buddies! 

<><>I quite agree with Youngstar. Well, if I want to express my fear, I may say that I fear….  to have any fear !  It's so easy not to have real fears but to fear the fear!  As one knows, fear  triggers other fears . As Forrest Gump says, "stupid is as stupid does", so I may say "fright is as fright does" !  I don't mind to be compared to that old buddy Forrest, Forrest Gump !
What do you think ?

Fear is a human feeling. It takes several forms. You can be fearful of different things for sensible or groundless reasons.The fear feeling ensures that there's a supernatural power that can control defeat, suppress your actions, intentions, or destiny. Fear is not that negative sensation. In contrsat, it helps understand your personal make-up in terms of strenghts and weaknesses. But, there's a big but, when fear is here, you shouldn't be near, otherwise, you will experience panic, shock, blood, or tear. It's nerve-racking in many ways.

Fear is "an unpleasant and often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. Fear is completely natural and helps people to recognize and respond to dangerous situations and threats. However, healthy fear - or fear which has a protective function - can evolve into unhealthy or pathological fear, which can lead to exaggerated and violent behavior.

Don't fear lElA take life easily…..Fly do no fear

 Dealing with fear: Individuals: There are many ways of approaching fear in the context of conflict. However, since fear is such a personal issue, most approaches focus on the individual. There are various ways to deal with your own fear, including 1.becoming aware of it, 2.identifying the ways you express fear 3.recognizing the situations which trigger fear, and 4.using behavioral techniques to reduce fear and stress
