-Elevators

-Getting bad grades

People

People. Heights. Closed places. Flying.

Public speaking, insects EVERY ONE OF THEM, losing someone/something, total silence, end of the edge of a high place where no fence around.

Making mistakes and the embarrassment + shame that eventually stems from those mistakes

What am I afraid of? The biggest answer is myself. The smaller answers are spiders, fire, water and new experiences (it's more that I'm afraid of the unknown if that makes any sense).

People. Dealing with them. Being close with them. Having intense relationship with them. Also. Their judgements. Then the pain it may cause me. So I fear of making mistakes. Because I fear their judgements, the feeling of pain and them too - people.

I have really bad nyctophobia. I still sleep with a nightlight and i have to close the door to my room because i cant sleep knowing its pitch black right outside my room. like if i wake up and i look out my bedroom door i see nothing its just dark and that makes me really scared. when i stayed at my dads house i was stayingin the guest room and i didnt sleep at all because the light i had was too dim and i was sitting right next to the light having an anxiety attack because i was so scared and i didnt want to go to his room because the way there is really dark and i just couldnt. once in middle school i told one of my "friends" that i was really scared of the dark and she got some of her friends to lock me in a bathroom with all the lights off (the lights and lock were outside the actual room) and they left me in there for a while i was so scared i screamed and cried and i felt like i couldnt breathe i was just so scared uggh i feel scared just thinking about it andthey wouldnt let me out it was so horrible. but yeah ive had many other times where ive had anxiety attacks because of it.
