Have you ever had a fear or phobia?

@sarabee1995 Well thats great you can make it through if need be. I think its all in HOW we are looking at a fear or issue.

@sarabee1995

I feel uncomfortable in small groups - I can get lost in a crowd which suits me fine.

@RenFur Same here..my anxiety can go higher in a small group..especially with new people.

@Coralmist yeah, I know I completely missed the target with that comment. If anything, it’s a compliment and maybe a boost in your confidence. From what I read and learned from you, I believe you’re worthy. As long as you acknowledge your issues and continue to work on bettering yourself everyday, then you’re definitely worthy enough for someone and someone to be worthy of you. Your issues shouldn’t be a burden.

@SW-User Thank you friend 🌸 I guess for some these issues might be a burden...but they are probably not the right person for me. Because I do know if others have issues I am pretty open to being patient or helping if I can. Ty for your ideas Deth🌼

@Coralmist exactly. We don’t need negative people in our lives anyway. I’ve cut so many people out that it’s almost funny. You see, it’s a beautiful thing that you are open to being patient and helping others. You, at the very least, deserve as much from a kindhearted individual. I see relationships as two people who are willing to work through life together. I’m rambling at this point, but I believe you can overcome it. Keep trying!

@SW-User oh wow
I've been meaning to get fake snakes and put them at my parents house. I've bought some super realistic fake roaches for a dollar. I watched my mom smack it SO hard 😂
What made it even more funny is that she assumed my dad had put it there so she put it on his pillow 😆

@iamnikki That is freaking hilarious. Why you do mom like that...😂

@SW-User I like playing pranks on people lol

@BLP11520

I have one similar but different. Try this for yourself and see what I mean - - - stand on the sidewalk against a skyscraper with your back against the building. Now bend your head backward and look up. I used to that as a kid and my knees would buckle.

@RenFur oh no

@nedkelly 🤔take it from me ned it is a sight for sore eyes lol

@Nimbus 🤔what nimby the treble as in going three seasons consecutive and still have an empty trophy cabinet to show for it lol

@smiler2012 How is the QUAD season going

@ninalanyon

Same. My stepson's ex does mine (and she always gets me money back!)

@HumanEarth I understand. Never feel guilt if you enjoy women's clothing 🦋 We all have a wide range of likes or dislikes and who makes up rules??? No one can. Be you ...because you are a great person 🌸

I know that, but my brain just don't seem to want to get the hint.

Just put a hammer to my head

@HumanEarth ...You can like whatever you like and it is A ok..dig it?????🍀🙂

@Coralmist it was kind of helpful because after that I became more mindful of taking life decisions based of maintaining peace of mind. like if someone or something is a source of unnecessary stress Its easier to move away from it. also I was thinking of becoming meditation instructor specializing in PTSD because the method i followed was so effective.

@reflectingmonkey I have PTSD..if you do become one I will be your first client..I can pay in SW gifts🙂

@Coralmist I will keep that in mind. I was thinking that if i do start teaching this I would like to teach it for free for a while until I trully feel I am good enough at it to start charging money.

@bijouxbroussard That's the most common phobia.

@DeWayfarer Good for you facing that. I hear the more we try to turn away from fear the stronger it holds us. The more we hust normalize it the less it grows.

@Coralmist I believe it's a combination of things.

It's far easier to confront things when you are very young. This applies to anything. Even languages.

So if you have learned how to get over things very young, like when I did at 5, then getting over your fears is easier throughout your whole life.

It's been known since Aristotle learning things before the age of seven greatly helps define the person..

@LilPrincess people are the worst

@BuzzedLightyear appears that is something that we can agree on 😒

@Coralmist Yes. It's not all water, just deep water. I swim in deep swimming pools if necessary. But I feel I don't like it. I don't like looking at it or thinking about it. I have an aversion. But I like swimming so I tell that fear to shut up and I go for it!

@Gumba1000 I like it!!😌

@Coralmist Thanks

@ViciDraco I am sorry Vici about your amputation...what was amputated? 🙁💜

@Coralmist hemipelvectomy, so half my pelvis and my entire left leg. It was ten years ago now, so I had adjusted and it is behind me.

@geoam1 I look at needles everything the nurses and phlebotomists stick me. I try to train myself to not be bothered by blood and gore.

Needles aren’t too bad.
