I was afraid of my dad as a young boy . I was afraid of niggers as a young boy I was afraid of being alone as a young man. I was afraid of being a father as a young man. I was afraid of losing my job. I was afraid of being stuck in my job forever. I'm afraid of getting old and deteriorating physically as I get old. I'm afraid of being dependent on others . I'm afraid of dying afraid instead of bravely accepting death .

I'm sick of being afraid.

Either you have some kind of anxiety problem or your understanding of emotions is deficient.

You aren't afraid of those things you're apprehensive about them. Or you're mistaking anxiety for fear.

I suggest you try bungee jumping or skydiving so you can get a more grounded understanding of what fear really is.

I do have trouble telling the difference between thoughts and feelings. Working on it.

Fear is that thing like electricity that goes through your entire body down to your fingertips and the tips of your toes. It's sort of invigorating, actually.

Falling to earth is exhilarating. Nothing comes close to that feeling.

Accept your fear. It's part of your nature. You aren't going to overcome it, so don't waste your time and energy trying. Just learn to live with the person you are. If you look at yourself objectively, you probably aren't a bad person. Everyone has fears, it's just a matter of degree. Change your expectations instead of trying to change your fear. You're never going to be another Caesar or another Alexander the Great. It's not going to happen. So accept it.

Try reading Marcus Aurelius' meditations, and psalms/proverbs. Hike a mountain on shrooms. Serious. Think of all you've overcome

Reason and facts usually overcome fear, but some 'fear' (we all fear) will keep you from obvious unneeded crisis. Accept that NO ONE lives forever and pain is manageable.

There's nothing wrong with being afraid. Free floating fear is something many of us deal with and I've found the best way is to take one day at a time. I think we all worry about everything you listed, it's part of being human.

Don't be afraid of aging and dying because we all do it. Let yourself face growing older happily. Be grateful everyday you wake up and everything works and get on with your day.

Take care of yourself now and you will be less likely to be dependent on others when you are aged and infirm. Death is a part of our existence and nothing can stop it so there's no reason to be afraid. When it comes it comes.

Find what brings you joy. Join the church choir or volunteer at a homeless kitchen cooking and serving meals. Volunteer at nursing homes or in a hospital or even a humane society. Channel the energy you put into worrying about uncertainty into something positive.

Man that sucks. Yet go figure I am just the opposite. I am running full speed at death. Not from a death wish or anything but I started OUT in this world near death with Spinal Meningitis. As a result my immune system is garbage and any virus can lay me to waste at any time and nearly has on many occasions. Ive BEEN dead twice so I know whats coming and I have no fear of it. Its worlds better than THIS shithouse I'll say that. Consequently, I will always take a risk. A lot of the pain receptors in my brain got shut off due to the illness so I have no fear of fights or injuries even at my age. I'm old and its ok. Lots of stuff no longer works and its also ok. Life IS and was for living. Hunter S Thompson was a degenerate asshole but his quote on Life is spot on....“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

That is how "I" have lived MY life. I started in a compromised body and beat the shit out of it because I KNEW it wasn't built to last. I worked with my body my entire life. I was a hockey goaltender, a baseball catcher, a martial artist and a drummer in a touring band. ALL things that rip at your joints and back. Im a mess and I don't care. the EXPERIENCE was well worth the price paid.

You are not a young boy anymore so your Dad may as well be a ghost. Its done

EVERYONE is afraid of Niggers. That's why they're NIGGERS

Not many people enjoy solitude.

MY Father wanted two Saint Bernards. Instead he got me and my older brother. He survived.

A job is just a means to an end. Nothing more. Ive lost a shit ton of them and gotten a shit ton more. It happens

Embrace getting old. it means you've LIVED a long ass time and haven't been taken down. Spit in life's eye, you'll feel better.

EVERYONE and EVERYTHING eventually deteriorates. Its what makes our time here valuable.

And when you close your eyes here for last time you'll open them again in a place you can't even imagine. Its THAT awesome.

I wish you peace of the soul and the hope that when the road is done you will have bested the fear. Good luck

Hey brother , I made peace with my dad before he died. I fought niggers at least once a week from 4th grade until I made it to a college prep H.S. where niggers were few and far between. They " integrated " our grade school when I was in 3rd grade. The nigger savages were ruthless and our parents and teachers did nothing to protect us. As a child of 9 I knew nobody would protect me and I was on my own. 3 other White kids and myself became fucking gladiators fighting these beasts. I have learned to act despite being afraid , I just wanted to admit I've been afraid most of my life.

Well "I" happen to think it TAKES a brave man to admit he's afraid.

Im glad you things squared with your dad. Unfortunately NO ONE can fuck you up like "FAMILY" can. i found THAT out first hand.

And I'm old enough to be with you on the Niggers. I lived through the forced busing of the early 70's In Massachusetts where it seemed to be the fucking worst in the Country. the Riots, The Bullshit. The Niggers coming in From Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Roxbury, Dorchester. Friggin nightmarish then they also added fuckin reform school criminals to our Jr. High. What a shit show.

well at least in the end, we get OUT of this bs and on to better things.

And your screen name still gives me a laugh. Love that

Courage isn't the absence of fear - it's being afraid and saying "fuck it, I'm doing it anyway".
