My Story:
Scared of Snakes: Held snakes my at many different times. My older brother even had a pet snake. My dad had a store he went to that had dozens of HUGE pythons and I spent a while in there. I STILL HATE SNAKES
Scare of heights (Uncontrollable shakes): At 18 I decided to do roofing for the summer. Climbed up and down ladders for 3 months. I still shake and it didn't get worse.
Positive: I had the self-discipline to still do things that scare me.
Negative: I have no control over the things that still scare me. I can't make them not scary.
- sjg007 9y agoInteresting, would you say your fear of snakes improved? You can hate them or does it cause unmanageable distress? Or did it? For heights is it just ladders? roofs? or does a very tall building (inside) feel the same? What about an airplane? Or a cliff?
- hodl 9y agoSo you must hate a certain board game.
- cryptozeus 9y agoInteresting so you still have those fears even after facing them ? Wonder why you still keep doing it if its painful. Whats the point ? Just trying to understand thought process behind it.
- master_ant 9y agoOof, roofing sucks. I'm glad it helped you with your fear of heights though! Random anecdote, I slowly got used to being high in the air on ski lifts. Kinda frustrating for me because I really wanted to snowboard but HATED the lifts. Still love snowboarding, still hate looking down. ._.
