What is your most embarrassing fear?

[Deep]

My fear is claustrophobia and trypanophobia. And the fear of heights ( I don't know what that's called) but I also have that.)

And the fear of heights

Fear of heights is mine too. Though, if I'm with someone else, even if they're scared, it tends to make me fearless and help them overcome their fear if they're scared too.

While not really a fear as I can swim, I don't like water. I hate swimming and getting water up my nose. ...I live on an island too.

Spiders, they are small (usually), and do good things, but ugh, keep them away!

I like swimming, but I can't stand getting water in my eyes or up my nose. Sometimes, I’ll wear goggles while swimming to keep water out of my eyes and nose.

I don't like the beach (even though I'm on an island) for the water because it's a headache to get the saltwater off with public showers that, even though are clean here, are still dirty with trails of sand in and out. I wouldn't like to take a shower in the heat, just to throw on new clothes, and immediately walk outside to get drenched in sweat again. The beach for me is just a place for relaxation on a chair under an umbrella.

I prefer pools. I can get in, stay in my water depth comfort zone for what I'm doing (if not lap swimming), and the facilities are generally clean, even though I have the worry of athlete's foot in the back of my head. However, I can't go off a diving board or down a water slide cause I hate the feeling of water shooting up my nose on impact. I've tried pushing my upper lip, with my lower lip, towards my nose to create a "seal", but that only does so much.

I am afraid of heights. I can't climb anything that will bring my body to be shaking. And I am also afraid of spiders and cockroach.

I get scared of mice. I don't have many fears to be honest.

I get scared of dogs. Even as an adult, I have that fear that has refused to leave my body.

Fears are actually personal and valid. Things like Claustrophobia are actually common, so you don't have to worry.

it's advisable to use relaxation techniques in managing claustrophobia. I think should work.

To combat fears, exposure therapy works well, in this case. I have some irrational fears too as I am just scared of failing. . But as you start realizing and meeting those challenges face-to-face the more it becomes better for you.

I'm still going to say it again, it's the fear of those cold blooded animals called snakes. If I can exterminate them, I'll do it without thinking twice.
