5 Things That Scare Me

Five things that scare me :

1. Heights - I am deathly afraid of heights. I look down and get dizzy.

2. Spiders - I use to never be scared of them. Til I was bit by one. I had an allergic reaction. As that spider was not considered poisonous. I felt pain my my fingertips to my under arm. My arm felt like it was on fire for three days before the antibiotics kicked in.

3. The dark - Don't laugh. I know many people who are still afraid if the dark till this day. I am slowly going blind. I don't wish to live in the dark.

4. To grow old alone - I have this fear because every man I have been with has left me for another woman. Except my current boyfriend of three years. Remember I was with my estranged husband for over 10 years when I found out he was cheating. Ultimately leaving for that woman. It makes me feel like I will never be good enough for someone to want to be with me for the rest of our lives. My boyfriend is slowly changing that feeling.

5. Old people - I don't know why I am afraid of old people. I get speechless and don't know what to say unless they ask me a question or start speaking to me first.

There you have five things I am afraid of. Do you dare to take the challenge and write about what scare you?
