are they fears that you would be happier without?
probably all of the above lol
where did the fears come from?
past experiances I guess
are they healthly?
I doubt it
do they impact on your life?
yes, they prevent me from doing things such as forging true friendships, and going to social events
are they rational?
no
do you feel that you are ready to confront them?
Some yes, others no
are there any fears that you have overcome? If so would you be willing to share what they were and how you overcame them?
I used to fear going outside, and traveling on trains, anything that would involve being in a situation that I felt I could not escape. I overcame this by looking at evidence, I would catalogue ever time I did something I feared without anything bad happening until I convinced myself that what i feared was unlikely to occur and that doing things was safe
