What are my fears?
I am afraid of spiders. But this isn’t uncommon or not known about me. I actually have nightmares where spiders are thrown at me (and screamed in my sleep) or wake myself up when they jump on me.
I am very susceptible to psychological fears, like the supernatural, ghosts, etc.
I have a fear of someone breaking into my apartment (this has happened).
But what about my deep fears within?
I am afraid of disappointment. I am always afraid to disappoint my parents. They are the most important people to me and their opinion means everything to me.
I am afraid of failure (closely linked with disappointment). I would never want to fail and disappoint my parents. But I am also afraid of general failure. Although there is the saying that there is no greater fear than the failure to try…that’s hard for me to put into my life (but I’m trying to adopt that mindset).
These fears seem pretty common, I can imagine other people having it. But I think that these are my deepest fears.
So I guess my deepest fear within is that I will be a failure and disappointment to the people who love me most.
