How do you overcome a fear? Any suggestions or tips?

[AliceInWonderLand93]

This fear can be anything such as petting animals/reptiles you are scared of, fear of heights, the fear of failure, fear of injury such as attempting to do a back flip and coming down on your head and injuring your neck and etc... there's so many fears. How can you over come them? What do you do to overcome fear?

Yeah, I'm terrified of snakes and creepy crawlies like giant centipedes. Don't know how you get over that fear.

By having a tame animal with a good owner come to you to Face Your Darkest Fears

I've been able to get over some of my fears by using @joseyyywhales method. I still can't get over my fear of the ocean though.

[joseyyywhales]

Yeah its so easy to do

[Summer_Bunny]

@joseyyywhales well for my other fears it was easy! I have yet to get over my fear of the ocean... I'll go in a little bit but the water is up to my ankles. I know I know I'm such a pussy!

[joseyyywhales]

Yeah you are. Its just water! Lol

Fukk I don't know about that then. I think I'll just stay on the sand

[Summer_Bunny]

@joseyyywhales Haha see! I can't pretend nothing will happen and I'll be safe like I am in a swimming pool.

[joseyyywhales]

We'll just go in together. We can hold hands and pray nothing happens

[Summer_Bunny]

@joseyyywhales Lol no thanks I'll stay on the sand. I'll only go in if someone needs help

[joseyyywhales]

You sissy! I'd just pretend to drown in that case then you'd have to come in

[Summer_Bunny]

@joseyyywhales well now that you said that I won't go because you'll be pretending!!! I am a sissy and I'm okay with that.

[joseyyywhales]

I'm not going to give up until you go in

[Summer_Bunny]

@joseyyywhales good luck with that!
