Fear is the unpleasant feeling of risk, a force that freezes your thoughts and chokes your breath. The fear of height, the fear of water, the fear of getting old, the fear of death, the fear of giving, the fear of love, the fear of being loved...
My worst fears are 1)being ordinary 2)I will never find someone who understands me in this world.
I watched "Munich" last night, taking the political discussions aside, there was one scene where one of the character told the main character.
"...You do any terrifying thing you're asked to do, but you have to do it running. You think you can outrun your fears, your doubts. The only thing that really scares you guys is stillness."
Fear is what it is, Fear. Every individuals have their ways of dealing with their own fears. Most would run away, going to another country, changing names, making new friends, going into another relationship...
It reminds me of Pac-Man. The yellow pizza-looking creature has to move around to avoid the ghosts chasing him. You can never play Pac-Man having it stationary. However, eventually, your fears will catch up with you. Then, you have no choice but to face your fear.
Do you know what your fears are? And how do you deal with them?

i fear being hypocritical and unjust.
i deal with it by constantly reminding myself to 1) be sincere and 2) respect.
and i fear not being able to fulfill my destiny (or to live happily ever after).
i deal with it by 1) examining my motivations (is it out of necessity or vanity) and 2) taking every step carefully as to have no regrets.
at last, i fear not being able to do anything about the gradual but seemingly inevitable demise of the earth.
i deal with it by accepting that 1) i can only do what i can and 2)whatever happens, happens for the best.
phew~
you really fear those two things ?
you are not ordinary, I don't see that. and you WILL find someone who understand you, male or female....
I fear I can't face my fear.....and I have to really convince me to face whatever comes instead of running away
