This is a sequel (I guess) to the phobia contest post thing. I almost feel like I shouldn’t participate because I dont consider any of my fears insurmountable, but I’m throwing my hat in the ring anyway.

My greatest fear has always been acrophobia (heights). In my dreams, i most commonly die by falling off of something—usually a cliff. I got mostly over this fear by climbing rock faces without ropes. It was thrilling, really.

I have also always been afraid of swimming in deep water, which is completely illogical considering Im a scholarship swimmer in college. But it is what it is. The ocean doesn’t bother me because I can see pretty well, but lakes and rivers make me jumpy. I can swim for miles, but swimming 100 feet out from shore in a lake makes me very uncomfortable. I once hit a sunken log with my toe while swimming in a river and almost passed out

Oh, and also…”Our greatest fear is not that we are powerless, but that we are powerful beyond measure…” that one applies to me too.
