Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.
1. I fear failure and criticism. I don’t really know how the criticism part became a fear, but I can remember never liking it. The slightest “no” response to the simplest question can put me to tears. It’s extremely frustrating, because it makes me feel weak. I remember being in about 3rd grade and learning to play softball for the first time, and my dad was trying to help my throwing form. It was a very unsuccessful event because all I could do was cry.
2. I fear living in student loan debt for the rest of my life. This fear came to me after I realized it takes a lot more effort to get a “real life job” than a summer visitor industry or food service position. Don’t get me wrong, I have my goal to pay it off by age 30, but it’s gonna be tough.
3. I fear that someday I’ll do something to mess up every relationship I’ve ever had and I’ll have to resort to being a crazy cat lady. (but not like the ones on Hoarders, that’s gross). But there are days that I feel like singing “nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I’ll go eat worms….” because life isn’t very personal anymore.
