I’m afraid of failure, that the You-Suck script has been right all along . . . and I’m afraid of success because it’s change and then I’ll have to keep it up and ahhhh. scary.

A lot of my fears are very similar — public speaking, failure, death, meeting new people, being a good parent, putting my work out there… and snakes. *shudders* But somehow we all manage, eh?

Thanks to everyone for reading my post, and for all the very lovely, supportive comments.

I used to say my that my biggest fear was heights, but I think it’s public speaking! Not a fan.

Congrats!

I fear disappointing. Sometimes that means disappointing others but mostly it’s disappointing myself.

Congratulations on your first book releasing this week. I have read rave reviews and I immediately added it to the WWBL. It will be in the shopping basket this week.

My worst fear is like others here, fear of speaking in public. I have always been shy, but I put on a good face in small groups. I have become a smartass at times, too, seemingly unafraid to air my views. In front a large crowd with a prepared speech or meeting someone I admire? Holey crappe I fall to pieces.

Huge congrats on your first release. That’s quite a mountain to climb. Great story, I especially liked the scared-to-death-but-nevertheless-loving-it roller coaster graphic.

Fears? Coming to the end of time and thinking ‘Darn it! I should have used my time better!’ which is whyI’m still on the computer, ostensibly upping Nanowrimo wordcount….

Great post, and congratulations on your release. My fears are clown (because of the film ‘IT’), presentations in front of large groups of people, and the possibility of losing anyone in my family.

I have fear of just other people. I get very, extremely nervous when I am in new situations, or have to meet new people. The only time I’m not nervous around people is when I’m dealing with children. Ironically, I run an afterschool program with 150 students in it. Not one of them make me nervous. Can’t stand new situations or new people though. I’ve been like that ever since I can remember.
