What intimidates you?

[djordjem87]

I am not easy to intimidate but I do have some fears of losing someone I love. We all have fears and they are basically irrational because there is no logic behind it if you look around you and if you look at the facts. Thing happen and no matter how important or not important we are things will continue to happen. No, I am not being pessimistic nor will I say that I am being realistic. Somehow, I understand that we let everything to happen to us. We are the only ones to blame therefore if something or someone intimidate us we are to blame as well. If we choose to be like that and we let them. I am also in that group but I try to have minimum fears in my life.

The main thing for me, is people. I do not like to walk in front of a crowd or people, nor be around a crowd of people, period. I tense up and my anxiety is off the charts.

I am not really intimidated by people. After all, they are just people. Authority and power, on the other hand, can be intimidating. In the wrong hands, authority and power can be usually abused. And it's so easy for authority and power to be in the wrong hands. There don't seem to be any kind of reliable way to vet people who aspire to positions of authority and power. It's more like authority and power is available to anyone who really wants it. That's kind of frightening, isn't it?

For a while it was pretty much everything! But, like you said, a bit of exposure and education has really, really helped - just forging ahead, I guess. But thrusting myself into any new situation still intimidates me to the point where it's sometimes impossible. Logically, I know that if I just DO it, things are unlikely to go wrong (and even if they do, so what?), but that doesn't stop the anxious feeling.
