My fear

What is your worst fear? For most people, this question would evoke responses such as spiders, heights, or losing a loved one; for me however, the response is much different. My worst fear is loneliness or that my friends and family won't like/accept me. I'm the type of person that always wants to please everyone; I want to make people happy and if I'm not I will try to change that. Where some people seek fulfillment through personal achievement or personal pleasure, I seek fulfillment through other's approval. This is one reason why I strive to maintain a good grade point average in school. If I get a 'C' in a class I fear my parents will get very angry and be disappointed at me; to me, that is the worst thing in the world. A more irrational part of my fear is that I will be abandoned someday and I will have no one in the world to be my friend. The scenario I portray with this would be my parents dumping me in a busy city and leaving me, and then everyone in the city being unfriendly to me, not helping me and trying to avoid my glance.

  1. My parents left me in Tijuana... And that is exactly what happened... It. Was. Terrifying... Never leave home, Joey. Never, EVER, leave home.
