One fear I have successfully overcome was expressing my feelings. I chose to overcome it because I was always keeping things in, and letting it build up inside me. I later found out that it wasn't healthy to keep things build up inside, so I got comfortable with telling people how I felt for my sake. It changed my life by allowing me to be more open in relationships, and particularly family as well.The next fear I would want to overcome is my social anxiety. I want to overcome that because it affects a lot of things in my life, and I want to take control, and not let it take over me.

I agree with you with having social anxiety. I have social anxiety too,and I want to overcome that fear because I want to be able to make more friends, and interact with other people instead of being bunched up in a corner by myself.

i agree with you i have social anxiety and i do want to overcome this fear so i could be able to make more friends and be involved more instead of not being able to talk to pepole

I agree because I still don't express my feelings when i'm either angry or sad. I want to try to fix that and become better by talking to someone.

I really like this, because in this generation, it’s hard to express your feelings because you don’t know how people feel or if they care, so I feel like overcoming that fear was a really big accomplishment

Its great that you have overcome your feelings. Opening up in and expressing how you feel makes communication better in a relationship.

Mitchell. M link

I'm still learning how to properly express my emotions myself. Usually, I end up turning in on myself, because I don't always have the words to be able to share my thoughts.

I agree about expressing your feelings being a fear, I feel like it is one probably a lot of people have. I hope you will be able to overcome present and future fears!

I agree with you, having social anxiety can ruin a lot of things that you would like to do. Its something I struggle with too but we cant let our mind take control over us.

Amalio 3A

I agree with you, it is hard to express your feelings to people you adore and having the feeling to store up the emotions and not being able to talk about it.

Desiree Ware 3A
1/20/2023 11:08:55 pm

I agree I wasn't really good with expressing my feelings either and let it build up inside of me till I broke down mentally. But I learned if you don't talk about what's bothering you it's slowly going to eat you up in the inside.

A. Bradley 6B
1/20/2023 11:47:00 pm

I agree with you, I also have social anxiety too, and I want to overcome this fear so I could be able to make new friends instead of being all by myself

One fear I had overcome was spiders. I ´ m afraid of spiders, I don´t like them. I had overcome because my sister was in the backyard, and she saw a spider. Usually I run away, but I didin´t. I decided to face my fears, and take the spider somewhere else. The next fear I want to overcome is my social anxiety. I want to overcome that one because I want to be able to make some friends, instead of being bunched up in a corner by myself.

I agree because i'm dealing with social anxiety too. I feel that i need to make new friends and not just talk to people at school.

J rangel 5b

I agree because i am scared of any little creature that walks by especially spiders and i really want to overcome that because insects are part of everyday life.

E. Adame 2A
1/18/2023 06:54:56 pm

I am glad you have gotten over your fear of spiders, bugs are scary but spiders could honestly be anywhere. I hope that you can overcome your goal of making friends and that it all turns out positive!

S Griffin 1A

I'm glad you decided to face your fear in order to save your sister. That was very brave of you good job.

M. Contreras 6B
1/19/2023 08:44:12 pm

Even though I haven't completely gotten over my fear of spiders I understand where you come from. Something about those skinny little legs and how quickly they can run brings me fear. However once in a while I can kill one without panic.

i agree because if i see something crawling towards me im going to jump and never go back till its gone

C. Torres 1A

Khamari !A

The fear I want to overcome is Social when i'm not around people i know. Outside of school I don't talk to anybody and i'm always shy to go up and talk to people. I just don't want anyone to think i'm weird or annoying when i'm talking to them. the next fear i want to tackle is talking in front of people by myself. I get anxious and nauseous when I speak to a lot of people.

B Wilkinson 6B
1/18/2023 11:28:20 am

I agree, I am never really social around people I am not comfortable with.

J Melgar 6B link
1/18/2023 11:29:09 am

I am the same way. I don't really socialize, but it takes small steps to be able to get over socialize with others especially if you're shy. I hope you are able to overcome your fear.

J rangel 5b
1/18/2023 11:30:59 am

I agree with this because this is the same fear i have but i need to get to know people better and there personalitys

R. Aponte link

When I was in middle school I was very social, and when I got into high school I became more of an introvert. I am not that shy to talk to people, but it's more of a choice. I hate talking to a big group of people, I get anxious too, but I'm trying to overcome that fear.

Desiree Ware 3A
1/20/2023 11:10:43 pm

I agree, I'm not really the best socially and I need to work on that and branch out of my comfort zone and get to know new people.

A fear that I overcame was my fear of the dark. For years I had a deep fear of being in the dark and feeling as if something was going to get me. I couldn't sleep in the front of the bed I had to always be towards the back by the wall with somene in front. As I got older this became too childish and I just had to overcome it and now I can't sleep without it being pitch black dark.

Banks.M 6B
1/18/2023 09:51:27 am

I honestly love this comment, and I sort of laughed a little bit when I read it because for years I used to be afraid of the dark till I realized, growing up. There are more monsters in the light then there are monsters in the dark, so that fear was short-lived, but I really like this comment.

J Melgar 6B link
1/18/2023 11:31:29 am

I was also scared of the dark. Now I enjoy it. I also have to sleep with no light or else it will just bother me.

S Griffin 1A
1/18/2023 08:31:29 pm

Lol I'm still kinda afraid of the dark, but I'm glad you overcame it.

Keyuante S 2A

i had a fear of the dark for a couple months but my mother made me sleep in the dark to overcome it now its not so scary

One fear I chose to overcome was having separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is basically where you cannot stay apart from one person or multiple people for a long amount of time. Without going into a panic. I chose to get over this fear because having separation anxiety .It really made me feel alone and depressed I didn’t like the way I used to ball myself up and go into a shell when my boyfriend wasn’t around so I chose to conquer this by talking to more people in my day-to-day life, trying to be more social and taking time away from my boyfriend . How did this change my life? I feel more comfortable in my own skin when he’s not around I feel like I can go and talk to anyone without getting scared because I’m not holding his hand and I don’t feel as lonely or depressed as I used to when I’m home alone, and not on the phone with him . I’m not really sure what fear I should take on next because I don’t have many fears but I feel like maybe I should get over my fear of getting a job because I want to be responsible of my own money and take care of myself sooner or later.

M.Mitchell 6B link
1/18/2023 01:06:02 pm

That's actually really understandable, and it's quite inspiring to see how you overcame that. I struggle with maintaining my peace when i'm by myself, But I also don't like being around people. The only way I can overcome that is by finding ways to enjoy my own company.

M. Espino
1/18/2023 10:07:17 pm

I feel like I relate a lot to this comment. My separation anxiety has been at an all time high recently because I just fear that the people I love around me will leave and never come back. It gets even worse around my boyfriend too, because he is the one thing that is stable in my life and just him leaving to do the simplest thing just scares me.

K Holt 6B
1/18/2023 10:34:17 am

One fear i have over come was having social anxiety. The reason why i chose to overcome this fear was because i didn't like being awkward towards people and not talk to them. Its made my life better because now i'm confident and able to make friends with people at school and people who are friends with my friends. My next fear i want to overcome is thalassophobia because i want t be able to have fun at the beach or at the lake.

M.Mitchell link
1/18/2023 10:42:30 am

I overcame my fear of performing in front of a crowd, when I got a role in the school play. I chose to overcome this fear so that I could further develop my confidence and share my gifts with the world. A fear I would like to overcome is my fear of the unknown , because I tend to let my worries limit my potential.

K Holt 6B
1/18/2023 03:48:46 pm

I agree overcoming a fear of performing is hard because you dont want to mess up and be embarrassed. Having confidence is a great thing because it can show people your worth.

M. Espino
1/18/2023 10:04:11 pm

I love this comment because this is something that I sometimes struggle with too. Just the thought of a lot of people around you constantly judging you is just scary.

G. Ojeh B6
1/19/2023 08:37:58 pm

I think that overcoming a performance anxiety is challenging because you don't want to blunder and look foolish. Being self-assured is wonderful since it may demonstrate to others your value.

J Melgar 6B link
1/18/2023 11:22:53 am

A fear I have overcome is being afraid of the dark. I chose to overcome this fear because I realized that (hopefully) there isn't anything lurking in the dark and there isn't anything I should be scared of. It didn't really change my life but I will say that I actually like being in the dark, I feel it's more calm and relaxing if that makes sense. The next fear I'd like to tackle down is my social anxiety because I've always had issues getting out my comfort zone and speaking with people I don't know or talk to.

K. Romero 2A
1/18/2023 10:59:39 pm

I agree with you. If i am being honest i am still a bit afraid of the dark. when i was little i used to see people and i still don't know if it was just my imagination or if they were real people but i still cannot recover from that.

Ryan Brown 3A
1/19/2023 11:39:45 am

I ´ m not afraid of the dark but my sister was so I can understand why you were afraid of the dark. I ´ m a bit paranoid so thinking that there ´ s things lurking when there is not is normal for me.

Amalio 3A
1/19/2023 12:56:38 pm

I enjoy this comment, because I like how they got to the point and said what they were afraid of and how they took down that fear.

Raheem Beck
1/20/2023 09:41:40 am

I feel you on this one because still when I walk up to a group of people and I onlt know a select few out of the group I tend to only comunicate or dap up the people. Sometimes I feel as if it's rude but at the same time if I dont know you I can't fool with you.

B Wilkinson 6B
1/18/2023 11:27:22 am

One fear that I have overcome would probably be to not be so quiet and unsocial around people that I dont know or am not close with. I have always did this since I was young because I just feel better being by myself and not being social with anyone. Even though I still struggle with this I would say that I am getting better at not staying inside of my shell all of the time and I am actually starting to talk to people more.

Ryan Brown
1/19/2023 11:35:46 am

So, you overcame the fear of being sociable. I understand how that could be hard to do. At least you overcame this fear before you got old, you can´t teach a dog a new trick and all.

K Jacinto 6B
1/20/2023 11:34:28 pm

I feel you on this one, whenever I’m around a group of people I don't know I tend to stay quiet.

J rangel 5b
1/18/2023 11:29:28 am

A fear that i want to over come is not speaking to people i dont know. Even if my friends are friends with them i won't speak to them because i dont know them. I want to overcome this because younever know what your missing out on a person when you don't get to know them.

M Davis 1A
1/18/2023 11:47:40 am

One fear I have successfully overcome is coming out my shell and meeting new people. I overcame it by going to this delta gems group that my mom signed me up for. I worked on my taking skills and learning how to start conversations. This changed my life because it has aloud me to use my voice and speak up. Another fear I would like to overcome is heights. I would like to do this because I want to see what it is like to ride a rollercoaster.

K Stern 5B
1/20/2023 10:40:02 am

I agree with you. For me i'm still kinda self conscious about myself, like if I'm coming on too strong to people I just met.

T Adams 7B
1/18/2023 12:47:52 pm

A fear I have overcome is being in love because all love brings is heart breaks and a lot of feelings.

E. Adame 2A
1/18/2023 07:05:02 pm

I think a fear I have overcome is a fear of losing friends. This term is not always associated with death but whenever I have become close with a certain group of people I was afraid they will leave, I have grown out of this as I learned everything happens for a reason. A fear I want to overcome is being able to speak about the troubles I have as I am someone who tends to hold a bunch of things in. I want to work to be better towards that and make it my goal.

K. Romero
1/18/2023 10:54:40 pm

I agree with you. losing friends is one of the most painful things. after a while though you get numb, losing people doesn't hurt as much anymore and you learn how to focus and better yourself. it will get better.

J Martinez 3a
1/19/2023 08:57:52 am

I agree it is hard loosing friends but things happen for a reason .

G. Calderon Batista 2A
1/19/2023 11:18:17 am

I completely agree with this, some people are just supposed to be in your life for a short period of time but with the absence of a that person comes a life lesson that will help you later on in life.

M. Contreras 6B
1/20/2023 07:49:17 pm

I have also overcome the fear of losing friends. I learned that sometimes a relationship with a person is a lesson. And not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever. Even though it's a painful experience it is something everyone needs to learn.

J Castillo 3A
1/20/2023 10:16:12 pm

I agree, as life goes on we meet new people but eventually some will go different paths, have different goals and eventually go separate ways

S Griffin 1A
1/18/2023 08:26:21 pm

I overcame a fear of losing people. I chose to overcome it because I learned not everyone sticks around in your life, and people can easily leave. It changed my life so much because now I don't have to stress and worry about people leaving. I'd like to tackle my fear of being alone because, I want to be independent in life.

D Walton
1/20/2023 12:41:24 am

I overcame the same fear when I lost my uncle in 2020 because I had o learn no matter how bad it hurts, everyone has to leave one day.

K Jacinto 6B

I overcame my fear of dogs. I overcame this fear because I figured out that most dogs aren't even scary. I just didn't like the fact that most of them would run up to you and start sniffing you out of nowhere. Until now, the thought of a dog running up to me and trying to climb on me was just terrifying. A fear I would like to overcome next is my social anxiety, because I feel as if it is something that has been holding me back from doing things that I would love or hold me back from meeting new people in my life.

J Martinez 3a
1/19/2023 08:57:11 am

i agree because ik alot of people who are afraid of dogs no matter the size.

Keyuante S 2A

I had the same fear of dogs when i was little aswell i overcame that by playing and being around them more it was actually fun

R. Aponte 2A link
1/19/2023 09:22:27 am

I had a fear of dogs when I was little because I had a horrible experience with a dog. Now, I love dogs, and I have a dog of my own. I really just trust my gut to tell me if it's a good dog or not.

F Maltos 3A
1/20/2023 08:36:32 pm

I totally agree with you because I used to be scared of dogs when they would get close to me and start jumping on me and I was so scared of that feeling. Now I have overcome the fear of dogs jumping on me.

A. Bradley 6B

K Romero 2A
1/18/2023 10:49:11 pm

one fear i have overcome is social anxiety. i chose to overcome that fear because i had realized i only had a few friends when i would have liked to have more, and ordering food or even saying excuse me was hard. so i decided enough was enough and i started talking and raising my voice more. now talking in front of many people is not as hard and raising my voice when needed doesn't make me want to throw up anymore.

R. Waits 7B
1/19/2023 12:27:06 pm

To be honest, I think this was a perfect response to the question. You showed and gave examples of how you overcame that fear. Truthfully, I think this one resides in a lot of us.

J Martinez 3a
1/19/2023 08:55:46 am

i fear i have overcome is the fear to fail . Ive learned that that the more you fail the more you learn in the situation . I think failure has a big part in sucess and makes it feel a whole lot more speacial .

Raheem Beck 5B
1/20/2023 09:46:46 am

I agree with this all the way because without taking any L's you on't know right from wrong. We all hope to be perfect but no one and nobody is so we just have to learn from and accept our mistakes.

One fear that i have overcame was to express my feelings. I always felt that it was soft to express the way i feel. I felt that way because of the way my dad was and he never really expressed himself but then he started to, so it really showed that its okay to express my self, therefore i overcame my fear. The next fear that i will overcome is the fear of heights. I can never really go on rollercoasters and have lots of fun because im thinking about how high i am.

R. Waits 7B
1/19/2023 12:30:12 pm

I see what you mean by being unable to express your emotions. I also suffer from doing that. I think it is great that you overcame it that way.

erik ramos
1/20/2023 09:21:30 am

I agree with you, I struggle a lot to express my feelings with people. it was hard for me because of my past but it doesnt affect me anymore im just focusing on my future.

V. Taylor 6b
1/20/2023 10:11:59 am

I can relate to this. I have always found it hard to trust someone or feel safe with my feelings. I slowly gotten over it but there are times the fear does come back.

R. Aponte 2A link

One fear that I have overcame is taking criticism. I chose to overcome my fear because I took it as a positive way, and it motivated me to do better. Overcoming my fear help me open myself to future opportunities.

K Lake 3A
1/19/2023 10:56:02 am

A fear that I have successfully overcome was getting out of my comfort zone. The reason is that I just needed to be more social anyway and needed to learn how to talk to strangers, especially, for the profession I'm trying to go into, a business owner. By overcoming this fear of mine, I was able to make new friends and try out new foods.My next fear I want to overcome is the ability to talk in front of huge crowds of people comfortable and clear.

K Lake 3A
1/19/2023 11:00:00 am

(It cut off at the bottom) The reason why I want to be able to talk to crowds of people comfortably is because I feel like I could be able to open myself up to future opportunities where I can even make money by me speaking.

Getting out of my comfort zone was tough. Being a theater kid does not make it any better. Theater pushes you to get out of your bubble and be uncomfortable. When my theater director first pushed me out of my comfort zone she pushed a little too much. To the point I was on the floor crying. I went right back into my shell, but after that she slowly pushed me out of my comfort zone. I gained confidence and now I'm getting lead roles and bigger parts, because I am not afraid to step out of my comfort zone one in a while.

A fear that I have successfully overcome was getting out of my comfort zone.The reason ever since i moved to mesquite I became a quiet person. How I overcame it is that i made friends and it grew from there.

F Maltos 3A
1/20/2023 08:42:49 pm

I agree with you because I also successfully overcome getting out of my comfort zone and making new friends because I used to be very quiet and shy to talk to people I would not even speak at all. Now, I have friends and I am not shy anymore to make friends or talk to them.

I think one of the fears that i overcame is the fear of someone i really care for ( romantically) leaving me. I think once you know your worth & how you should be treated you don't really care who leaves or stays in your life. Back then I used to stay with people who continued to treat me like crap but i stayed because i saw the potential they had eventually being a good person & treating me right. I'm very proud of myself because that was a hard thing to overcome.

I still struggle with that fear today. I always had terrible romantic relationships. They always ended up leaving or something terrible. I used to stay with people who would tell me that I was worthless and I didn't matter to them. I started to see that if they don't see me for what I am worth and who I am I don't want them. They shouldn't be in my life.

I can relate. It can be hard at first but I have realized that once you realize who you are and what you are worth, it makes the process of healing from the pain easier. It does take time and that time varies for each person.

The fear that I overcame was the fear of public speaking. I still get a little nervous but I don't fear doing it. I overcame my fear because I needed to be good at presenting during professional communication class.

A fear I've overcome was the fear of my dad. I was always afraid of my dad. When I was little he always seemed so mean, but as I grew older he became a different person and I was able to talk to him. I actually spent time with him. He even told me I was his favorite daughter. It changed my life, because I now have a connection with my father.
The next fear I want to overcome is the fear of small spaces. I hate small spaces.

One fear was that I wasn't good enough for people that i'm close with. The next fear that I want to 'tackle' is the fear of being vulnerable. The reason I picked this one, is because instead of letting others see that version of me, I project myself in a different way to make myself seem better.

I agree, sometimes your going to feel as though you aren't good enough. If you ever feel this way just think about the good. It helps them think of you in a good light instead of the negative.

A fear that I had was being afraid of being lonely but i fixed it by hanging out with some cousins, and playing video games and also horror movies. A fear that i would like to tackle is not being enough because sometimes i feel like i'm not doing enough on life or activities.

It's difficult to communicate your emotions in this generation because you don't know how other people feel or whether they care. I think that getting over that anxiety was a pretty major accomplishment.

I agree with you because in this generation you dont know who you can talk to and trust.

A fear I successfully got over was being scared of dogs. I chose to get over it because my brothers wanted dogs and I didn´t want to stop them from having one.It changed my life because we got two dogs now and i´m not scared of them. My next fear I want to get over is being scared of snakes.

I agree with you. When I was younger and smaller they came across as aggressive which made me have a fear for them. Now that I'm older I realize that they're just playful and their size makes them play a little rough compared to smaller dogs.

That one fear that I have is to express my emotions to people.The next fear that I want to "Tackle" is to drop a little bit of my guard down to express more of myself.The reason I Choose this is because my whole life I been blocking my expression and block people from coming to my life

When I was younger I was scared of King Candy from Wreck it Ralph. As I got older I overcame my fear of him.

I agree, the man was weird. His body near the end of the movie was unsettling. It was all colorful, but disgusting.

One fear I have slowly gotten over was talking to someone about what I have going on. Whether its my emotions or my stress, I have learned to trust someone with it and not feel judged for it. A fear that I'd like to get over is my fear to trust.

When I was young, I've always had a fear of dogs, and to this day I'm still not sure why. Just seeing one would scare me, no matter how small it was, embarrassingly much it was. Eventually came 2017, although I was still afraid of dogs, I managed to overcome my fear, by facing my fear. Eventually, I gained likeness towards them, and learned how to deal with territorial dogs. I'm still not sure what other fear I'd like to tackle though, tarantulas, microscopic organisms etc.

I've overcome the fear of not succeeding in life because I've learned that everything happens how and when it's supposed to happen as long as I have faith and do what needs to get done. This fear was chosen to be put in my past because overtime I started to feel like it was just an unnecessary thing holding me back from taking risks that need to be taken in life.

One fear I chose to overcome in my life was my fear of talking to other people. I chose to overcome it because it interrupted my life whenever I had to talk to people and it changed my life by being able to talk to people easier. The next fear I'd like to overcome is my fear of roller coasters so I can go to bigger rides and be able to enjoy them all.

one fear i have over come is taking risk, i never wanted to take risk because i always look on the bad-side but now i take risks like its nothing even with money and the people around me.

One fear I have successfully overcome in my life is public speaking I used to be more shy back then in middle school and when I went to high school I realized that I was not shy talking in public. I started to get out of my comfort zone and not care what others think about me. I choose to overcome public speaking because I wanted to have more confidence in myself. It changed my life because I am not afraid to speak in front of people anymore. The next fear I like'd to tackle is trypophobia because I do not want to be scared of it and feel disgusted when I see it.

A fear that I have successfully overcome is my fear of needles. When I was younger I was so scared of needles that I would harm people. A way I overcame this is by looking away and thinking about after I get I get an injection or blood draw.

Riana Thomas 5b

I am still scared of needles till this day. I do overcome my fear by breathing in and out and holding my mom’s hand. That coping mechanism helps me calm my nerves.

A fear I have successfully overcome was being alone, I thought that being alone was something bad that would happen and I would have problems, but now that I grow up and learn thing, I can know see that being a lone isn't bad and I'm not afraid of being alone, one day in life we'll eventually end up alone somewhere and just have to live life , I learned that while being alone you can still achieve your goals and be successful, being alone isn't bad.

A new fear I would like to tackle is the fear of working till I get old and eventually die, because most of men life is working for the rest of your life, weather you have a family or not, its your responsibility to work for the rest of your life, everyday but I won't let this happen.

One fear that I’ve successfully overcome is letting go of people, this is because many people are gonna walk out of your life at some point. It doesn’t matter why they leave , I had to learn that the people we know and care about aren’t always going to be there. It isn’t always an easy decision to let go of someone. A new fear I would like to over come is get out of my comfort zone and get to know more people.

One of the fears I had was not being social enough. I didn’t like talking to other people I was very shy and always in my bubble. When I started working at my first job, Golden Chick that job brought me out me shell and now I am not shy. I am now a social butterfly and I love to talk and introduce myself to different people and make new friends.

One fear I have overcome in my life is worrying about what others think, or simply being judged. I chose to overcome this fear because I was tired of not doing the things I really wanted to do because I had the fear of what others would think, basically putting myself last and others first. Once I overcame this fear, I began doing things for me and I started to become more confident. And it changed my life for the better. The next fear I would like to tackle is stepping out of my comfort zone. I would like to overcome this fear because I believe there is more opportunities out there for me if I just step out of my comfort zone, being comfortable with being uncomfortable.

One fear I have successfully overcome in my life was fear of snakes. I choose to overcome it because I wanted to stop feeling like an animal that was inferior to me in any way has any advantage of me. So I overcame that fear when one day I came across a man holding a snake around his neck. I knew it was my time so I politely asked him if I could hold it around my neck and I did. I was petrified with fear but I was able to overcome my fear.

One fear I have overcome was dogs. I chose to overcome this fear because I realized that some dogs aren’t scary. The fear I would like to overcome is social anxiety because I want to make friends, I don’t like being the quiet one sometimes.

One fear I have overcame is failure. Now knowing people will have my back and encourage me is great. I know it’s part of the process and that it’s okay for it to happen. Also some things happen for a reason.
