What was your biggest fear as a child? Do you still have it today? If it went away, when did your feelings change?
My biggest fear as a child is the fear of being accepted. I always feared I would say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing and people would not accept me. I spent alot of time not doing what I wanted to do because of this.
I still struggle with this as an adult/ However, especially this last year I realized I am who I am and I need to be true to myself. This year there have been relationships that have been severely damaged because I wasn't true to myself for all too long and then when I was authentic the person didn't accept me for who I am. I take partial responsibilty for not being real but it was hard when they didn't want to accept me for me.
I think for me this is a life long process. To continue to be real if people don't want to be friends with me because of that then that is on them not me.
