What is a fear you have conquered?

My biggest fear when I was little was swimming, because we went to a pool with our neighbors (who were 1 and 3 years older than me, and both boys, and taller as well!) They jumped right into the shallow end of the pool (4' deep) and their heads were above the water. I jumped in, and was only 6, and my whole head was under water except for my eyes. My mom saw me and I saw fear in her face. I learned fear that day. It took me 6 more years before I ever left the side of the pool again!

    Isn't that the truth? We learn them--then spend years (potentially) unlearning them!

    I don't think I've gotten rid of my fears, as much as I've learned to live with them. They no longer control my life the way they used to.

    It's really good that you've gotten over that fear!

I hated heights as a kid, but have gotten much better with them.

    Those scared me, too! The first time I went to Disneyworld, I hid my face in my dad's chest because I was afraid to ride the monorail--which is about one story high! Since then, I've climbed two mountains, and hiked at 10,000-12,000' elevations multiple times.

    That's good that you hot over that fear,and actually swimming is one of my fears since i was like because someone pushed me in the pool. But the fear that I got over was driving. For the longest I was afraid to learn how to drive. I got my license 4 years ago and I'm 29.

    Good for you! That's excellent! Driving can be scary, because so many people are focusing on other things and not paying attention! Congratulations on getting your license. It gives you such a sense of freedom, doesn't it?
