My friend...?

Question

Is afraid of a lot of things. Like water slides, the deep end, diving boards. She doesn't like bugs and she only likes ankle biter dogs. She is afraid of a lot of things. That's all I'm saying.

How do I convince her to face her fears sometimes. I do things she likes that don't interest me so I feel bad when she doesn't do things I like because she doesn't like them or she is too "afraid". How to I help her and remind her that I do things that she likes the don't interest me and that she should do things that I like once and awhile.

I'm not bossy it just gets annoying sometimes.

Ask her what she is afraid of and remind her what are the chances of it happening. For example the deep end, is she afraid of dieing?  Does she not know how to swim? Maybe you can go together and take swimming lessons, that would be fun so that next time you can goto the deep end. There is reason she is so afraid, learn the reason and resolve it.

just be nice about it and help her. give her advice on how to handle somethings, and how to be more spontaneous and open-minded. how do u see it? if u think its fun tell her there is nothing to worry about its fun. ya know? but u have 2 be nice otherwise she will just get upset. im afraid of deep water too, and hanging bridges scare the crap out of me!!!! i hate swimming, and i HATE spiders with a passion and pretty much all bugs in general, but i still like to have a good time. i understand why she would be afraid, but dont push it just be patient and move slow. i was able to walk acroos a hanging bridge with my bestfriend after she convinced me it would'nt break and i would not die. it was actually pretty fun we laughed the whole way there because im an idiot and would not stop screamingg every single time it moved a tad bit. haha good times
