What’s a fear? Is it an unpleasant feeling that occurs anxiety or is it all in your mind how things can seem so horrifying to do till you do it from time to time they can be such a ridiculous fear. Ridiculous fear can take place in countless different ways. Some fears can be overcome so easily and when you think about it you think to yourself how absurd you were over that fear, funny isn’t it. I personally overcame three ridiculous fears throughout my life: driving, height and the darkness. Original driving was one of my ridiculous fears, it would seem simple to other people, but for me was more of fear of messing up in the process of learning. I learn the tough way by my older brother, with his luxury Lexus IS250. I really didn’t …show more content…
On the contrary, people know this feeling of fearing height. There several heights that people and I myself fear as well reaching the highest point. I have overcome some fear of height not all, sadly, but to the point I get used to it and once you reach the highest point it’s unbelievable what views I have seen and missed. One of my ways of overcoming my fear of height was hiking a mountain with my family, which it was an incredible height at some points I would look down and be frightened thinking to myself why I did that. When I reach to the top I can see so much it was unbelievable indeed that I hike all the way to the top and proud of myself for accomplishing a task that was difficult for me indeed. Height has some up and downs in my list of fears and sometimes is crossing off in a funny way of achieving such high point. Hiking was indeed a ridiculous fear of how stubborn I can be afraid of and seeing such an incredible …show more content…
Have you ever come to a stop in your life where your alone and it’s completely dark or you’re in a room all dark hard to find the exit. I myself have fear darkness since a little kid and still do in some point darkness is not a very good, pleasant to feel not knowing nothing what’s there or what’s watching you. When I was young I would leave the lights on while I’m trying to fall asleep sometimes getting my parents mad cause of this. Once and a while my parents would turn off the light and I would wake up in my dark room frighten looking everywhere, sometimes my eyes would play games with me which of course made it worse for me. Throughout my time of getting used to the dark with my eyes and just seeing it as a gateway to sleep help me sleep, of course clam and reassure my silliness over darkness somewhat of course. In reasonable ways my fears in darkness have slightly changed throughout the years, seeing it sometimes why I’m afraid of such a thing and other days just haunt me. Note to myself how darkness can manipulate you in many ways frighten me as a young child, that old me can be somewhat ludicrous towards
The Dangers of Fear Irish Playwright, George Bernard Shaw, once said, “The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.” Inhumanity is mankind’s worst attribute. Every so often, ordinary humans are driven to the point where they have no choice but to think of themselves. One of the most famous examples used today is the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night demonstrates how fear is a debilitating force that causes people to lose sight of who they once were.
Fear is an everyday emotion that the human race must face, and it can bring out the best and worst of us, but its how we choose to deal with it that truly defines us.
There was always times where I just wanted to throw in the towel and call it quits. However, I just knew that my persistence would eventually kick in! Also, I had to accept the fact I would not do so well at first. When I first drove a car, my nerves throughout my body were completely shocked through the roof. It was because I did not know how to do it since I had no previous driving experience. For some people, they like to drive four-wheelers or dirt bikes before driving a car, so they have some experience, but I am not that type of person at all and never will be. So, me and my dad went down to Buckeye Career Center one afternoon for me to practice driving for the very first time in my life. At first, he would go through the course to show me where I would go. The course included turning both left and right,parking into a space, reversing, and many more things. My dad would always say the same things to me: “Turn the wheel, Coast, Brake Earlier.” These are just some of things he stressed to me. Turning the wheel was a problem I had early on because I would always do the wrong technique. I would always turn for part of the way but not all the way. The next thing he would say to me would be is just coast. To be honest, I did not know that a car could do such a thing. Coasting to me seems like taking a little break from driving. Also, I did not know how far you could go when coasting a car. A big thing I learned from my

The poem “Fear” by Gabriela Mistral, dramatizes the conflict between a mother and her fear of her child growing up. The mother is the speaker in this poem. The mother is frightened of her child growing up and not needing her as much as she does as a child. In stanza 1 line 1 it says, “I do not want them to turn my child into a swallow”. The swallow symbolizes a bird leaving the nest. The mother is fearful of her daughter growing up and moving out. This line is repeated in line 7. The mother refers to “them” when she talks of who is going to change her she is referring to society. The mother is fearful that society will make her daughter become independent. In line 4 it says, “and never come down again to my doormat”. She is fearful that her daughter will not come and visit once she moves out. In stanza 2 line 9 it says, “I do not want them to make my child into a princess.” The princess represents the child’s teen years. Again she refers to society as them. It is also repeated in line 16. The mother does not want society to turn her daughter into something she is not. She wants her child to have fun and play. The mother is fearful that her child will not sleep by her at night. In stanza 3 line 17 it says, “And I would like even less that one day they crown her queen.” The queen represents the daughter as an adult figure. The mother is frightened of the day her child is an adult, maybe married, and has a life of her own. She will not need her mother anymore. She will not be dependent on her mother anymore.
Driving with fear Not knowing when something drastic is going to happen can be nerve racking. Knowing that any second of the day can change someone's life forever. I didn't ever think about this until I started to have seizures. To make things even worse, I had just got my license when I became epileptic. For me, being epileptic gives me constant fear while driving.
I wasn?t nervous to drive because my dad let me drive sometimes to my grandpa?s house If I took the back roads, so I had a little experience. When I took behind the wheel it was a little different than driving on the back roads, but I did ok. When I finished behind the wheel I signed up for a driving test. This was the part I had been waiting for, I wanted to pass so I could drive alone. The day of the test was very stressful, I had to use my grandma?s car because mine had tinted windows. I had never driven my grandma?s car, and I could not do corner backing with it.
It is quite a natural feat for human beings to be afraid. The sheer act of fearing something or someone is what makes human, human. The emotions involved, the quick twist of the mind to battle the queasiness being felt, the all-encompassing truth that in one way or another, there would come a point that all will broke loose when fear takes over. Being afraid is something that a person shouldn't be ashamed of since it is natural---and those who come-off as brave are technically those who has a lot of phobias, simply said, defense mechanism. There are moments when the fears or phobias that we've been nursing somewhat hindered us from doing what we really wanted, and this is the face of fear that one should worry about.
Fear is a human emotion everyone dislikes. Fear is in every person with no exception. It can be difficult problem to solve. We can overcome our fears by challenging ourselves by analyzing fear and developing a growth mindset.
Fear is a feeling you get when you get scared and nervous. Fear is an uneasy feeling about something and you don’t want to face it. Everyone has at least one fear. You can fear anything from small dolls, dark, tight spaces, Halloween, ghosts, devils, being up on stage, heights, or even mirrors. I have a fear of one main thing, heights.
Indeed, people who do not have any experience in driving may be afraid to drive among other cars on the street. For example, most of women from Iraq do not have any driving experience because they always depend on their families to provide all their necessities. Therefore, those who do not have any courage of driving need to hire a driving instructor to teach them how to drive and overcome their fears, which they suffer from. Those instructors can provide individuals with highly advantaged instructions. Furthermore, frequent practicing with someone close for at least one hour per day is a good practice to gain self-confidence themselves and pass the exam readily. Hence, practicing to drive a car with professional instructors is incredibly usef`ul to acquire a driver
My experience with learning to drive started in middle school where kids were too young to enroll in driving classes. My parents were a busy pair and I was an athlete who was determined to do my best for my team. This of course meant I was required to train with my team to build a chemistry with them. I drove myself to
