Minimizing Your Fears

[cluckeyo]

Fear is about losing faith. I am pretty sure that fear cannot be present when you have faith. I have learned this from personal experience. I had terrible problems with fear until I finally realized that I was not trusting God. Once I realized this, and I corrected my thinking, I found that I had nothing more to worry about. Putting things in God's hands means you accept the outcomes, whatever they may be. It puts my life in perspective and allows me to trust his plan. I am much happier than I was with this way of thinking. I am not the whole enchilada, I am just part of the plan.

Ah, it's good that it's not something to have to go to legal action. Well, let her keep being salty. She probably have all the time in the world to dwell in her insecurities. That's her problem, and let her continue making it her problem. As for you, keep being "swag." Being swag is cool and keep being cool. Keep doing the things you love. Continue being sociable. Just continue being yourself. You don't have to explain to other people your side of story because eventually, the other people around you will notice that the other person was just being salty and insecure.

True, it will eventually surface and people will notice her true colors, since she is hell bent on discrediting me. If people didn't have some sort of "crab mentality" in them then the world will be a better place. But you know what, it would be nice to get back at them via some way, you know? Hehehe. Voodoo spells come to mind, but unfortunately, I do not know anyone that does that. I heard that they can be quite effective, and they give the target some random misfortunes.

Ever since I found out about anxiety and phobias and treatments for them, I've been actively trying to get rid of each of my phobias one by one, and I'm happy to say that so far, I've succeeded in ridding myself of quite a few. Don't ask me how many I had to begin with - suffice it to say that I've made a lot of progress and continue to do so.

My fear right now is making people jealous or angry at me without me knowing it. I know, my "fear" sounds odd, but lately I have discovered that someone is spreading malicious rumors about me, and I really haven't done anything wrong to that person. That person is acting out of jealousy towards me, so I fear to be the object of someone else's jealousy, because I noticed that jealous people always act to bring the person that they are jealous of down. So what I do to avoid that is not to be too friendly to strangers. You'll never know if they will be an enemy in the future.

How do you manage to do  that?

How do you manage to do  that?

Well I have some "unconventional" methods nowadays to know if someone is talking behind my back, like I just ask psychics if the people around me can be trusted or not. I remember the first time I was made aware of someone backstabbing me was many years ago, a psychic told me to watch what I say or do around this gay male that I have been hanging out with since he talks a lot of crap behind my back. I do talk to one gay male that time and I immediately knew it was him. I was told he is also "jealous" of me and I dunno why, but I avoided him after that revelation. He talks crap about our other friends too, so I wasn't surprised by his behavior.

I've been tryig to get rid of my spider phobia for a while now and while things did get a little better I'm still really afraid of them so for the moment I kind of gave up on the process. I have a fear of heights as well and I've heard of a way to minimize this phobia with the new virtual reality glasses, it's an application that will let you experience what it's like to be at extreme heights. I'll have to save up some money for it!

I used to have a fear of amusement park rides. I would always imagine flying off or having the ride derail from the track. That has always gone through my mind.


Praying to God and imagining the possibilities of it happening helps me cope with that feeling. Sometimes I don't enjoy rides for that reason but I'm slowly being cured of that.
