Facing down fears

What fears have you overcome and how?

This is a tough question to answer. I don’t know that I’ve ever really been “afraid” of anything, or maybe it’s just that my personal perception of fear is muted/dampened. That, or I’m repressing some things. Who knows?

I’d very much like to think I’m not afraid of anything, but I know deep down that can’t be true. Maybe the things I’m afraid of are things I’ve managed to minimize and avoid so much in my life that they’re irrelevant to think about, and thus they go forgotten.

Does that count as “overcoming my fears” if I can just avoid them and live a happy and (maybe) fulfilling life?
