Fear?

Come on...I'm Ryan Michaelis. I'm all that is man - afraid of nothing. Just kidding. I'm afraid of a lot of things; clowns, dolls and puppets, sometimes heights, hannah montana, and I'm not entirely fond of spiders. Don't let that list fool you though. I can party with a clown without hurting him and running frantically out the door. I...can maybe be in the same house as thouse creepy American Girl dolls that no longer have hair or the puppets that just sit in the corner smiling.

More importantly, let's look at the fears I overcame! Needles man...needles. All you have to do is look away. Heck, you could stare at it, just don't think about it if it all possible. (FF(Fun Fact) It took seven doctors and nurses to hold me down for a booster shot when I was nine.) I don't know whether to be proud of my man power when in distress or eternally ashamed of what a big baby I was....am.

Other than that I overcame my fear of complete darkness as well. I just didn't like the feeling of not being able to see what might be there. Somethimes I'd just be frightened by the thought of bumping into a wall. It's not like I thought there were monsters in the dark, eventually.

I can relate to the phobia reading though. I can't say I have ever been afraid of my sleeping bag, but I'll be honest...I've looked up and have had the sudden sensation of falling off the face of the earth. I don't know why and I don't get the feeling anymore...but It still makes me think every time I look up.
