How do you stop being afraid?

You know what? I thought that the only way to cure it was by facing it, but that doesn't help. In my case, I think part of me needs it. Like, I _need_ to have a fear of failling to prevent me from doing so. Is it weird that I think sometimes, you need to be afraid to get through it? Like a signal to make us more aware that we've gotta pay attention? Phobias is a whole other story. How do you cure a habit? I've got this irrational fear that someday, just someday, I'm going to get a papercut in my eye. I can't help it. I just think that this is one of those "don't question the order of things, just go with it" type things. You never stop being afraid, you just learn to see things on the bright side :)

How do you stop being afraid of life? You stop sitting on the sidelines and reel yourself in. Then you really know that once you're in it, you can't get out. I don't know how much help this has been... I haven't exactly told you anything relating to stopping a fear, but hopefully I've told you that you need to face it and move on. Take it one at a time :)

By finding what you're afraid of and living it... afraid of heights, go skydiving, afraid of being rejected, ask someone out..afraid of someone saying something mean to you, be yourself completely un self consciously, and if they make fun of you, stand up to them....all of these things are so much easier said than done obviously, but its the only way you'll realize that its not as bad as you think it is, its the only way to no longer be afraid... its like when you were a kid and you thought there were monsters in your closet, the only way I ever got over that is by opening the closet and seeing for myself that nothing was there and the fear was just in my head...

You need to get saved and become a born-again Christian. I used to have fears, many fears, but when I became a Christian, it all randomly just stopped and disappeared. HE works miracles, I am being honest about this. You wouldn't believe the power he has over people. I think you should go to your local church (preferably Baptist, Methodist, First Christian, NOT something dramatic like Catholic) and seek counseling or guidance from the pastor.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of love patiences and a sound mind. Only God

is the answer. I am not afraid anymore. Maybe seek christian counseling.

What's even scarier is waking up one day near the end of your life and realizing that you never changed.

Realize the truth, and the truth has nothing to do with religion, politics, elitists, industrialists, bankers, government, teachers, preachers, naive parents, and media...

such a phobia really calls for professional counseling help. you really are missing out on soooo much wonderful times.

My nerves are bad. There a problem that I have that makes me nervous when it comes to mind.

Face your fears.

But I have to mention, if God is for you (which He is whether you realize it or not) then who - or what - can be against you?

SIMPLE AS ABC.....

I PUT GOD INFRONT ON ME !!!!

HE'S MY #1 FRIEND.....
