Terrified of shark attacts? West Nile virus? SARS? Nuclear radiation?
this was a story i was reading the otherday inflight......and found it really interesting how this BIG things scare us, and we tend to bypass the lil things that actually can KILL us!
so what's the number one thing that scares you?

did you know they just found out that sars came from cats? apparently it jumped the species barrier. it originated in china because they eat them as a delicacy. im staying off the kebabs for a while just in case.

have you ever thought what it IS about the spider that scares you?
for me it's the speed at which they move, and the small harry ones are the worst!!!
i can handle tarantulas......but the small ones are the WORST!

okies......well we all know there are emotional factors that can determine our fears.....here's something from the article thats interesting to ponder
Dread - Things that can kill us in really awful ways seem riskier. We're more afraid of being eaten alive by a shark (odds, 1 in 281,000,000) or dying in a plane crash (1 in 9,000,000) than of dying from heart disease (1 in 300) <-----now thats SCARY

Sometimes I get scared when I look in the mirror. No, I'm not that ugly. I get scared that my reflection might do something that doesn't match my actions. Like a wink, look away, smile, or even talk. I think I'd instantly go insane if insanity wasn't already the cause of it.

that death is going to catch me out unawares like Jeremy Beadle
and I'm going to realise just what a tiny pathetic attempt i'd made at life despite all the opportunities, and how differently i'd wish i'd done everything, but its too late, i'm finished, and to die hating myself for it.
And then have a miserable, trapped, regrettful, afterlife, whatever that afterlife may be, and perhaps be reborn as a maggot for being such a tit in this life. And realise that maggots are actually MORE intelligent and sensitive than people. And that they HATE all that rotten flesh-eating , but do it because they are being remote-controlled by ants. or something.

Most animals scare me. Especialy dogs and horses. Im nervous around them so they get nervous around me. It has gotten better since i got a cat.
I used to be really scared of heights to but then i worked a couple of summers as a painter and i got rid of most of the fear , there was alot of climbing on latters and stuff.
What im trying to say is that almost every fear or phobia can be cured.
Great isn't it =)
