What Are You Afraid Of? I spend very little time being afraid. It’s not a good or bad thing, just the way I’m wired. I’m not afraid of being hurt or dying. Not afraid of heights, crowds, spiders, water or anything else I can think of in the physical world. I used to have a fear of success and a fear of being alone. The former I got rid of in my mid 20’s, the later in the last few years. At least I thought I’d gotten rid of my fear of success.
