Childhood Fears I remember my childhood as being generally happy and can recall experiencing some of the most carefree times of my life. But I can also remember, even more vividly, moments of being deeply frightened. As a child, I was truly terrified of the dark, of getting lost, and of not being liked by others. These fears were very real and caused me some extremely uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that scared me so much. There was never total darkness, but a streetlight or passing car lights made clothes hung over a chair take on the shape of an unknown beast. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the curtains seemed to move when there was no breeze. A tiny crack in the floor would sound a hundred times louder than in the daylight, and my imagination would take over, creating burglars and monsters. Darkness always made me feel so helpless, too. My heart would pound, and I would lie very still so that the “enemy” wouldn't discover me.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Perhaps one of the worst fears I had as a child was that of not being liked by others. First of all, I was quite shy. Second, I worried constantly about my looks, thinking people wouldn't like me because I was too fat or wore braces. I tried to wear the “right” clothes and even had intense arguments with my mother over the importance of wearing the “flats” instead of saddle shoes to school. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a powerful one.
One of the processes of evolving from a child to an adult is being able to recognize and outgrow our fears. I've learned that darkness does not have to take on a life of its own, that others can help me when I'm lost, and that friendliness and sincerity will encourage people to like me. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us to cope with our lives as adults.     ANOTHER FEAR IN MY CHILDHOOD WAS THAT I WOULD GET LOST. WHEN ALL THE BUSES WERE LINED UP ALONG THE CURB, I WAS TERRIFIED THAT I WOULD GET ON THE WRONG ONE. I WOULD SCAN THE BUS FOR THE FACES OF MY FRIENDS, MAKE SURE THE BUS DRIVER WAS THE SAME ONE THAT HAD BEEN THERE IN THE MORNING, AND EVEN THEN ASK THE OTHERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO BE SURE I WAS ON THE RIGHT BUS. ON SCHOOL OR FAMILY TRIPS I WOULDN'T LET THE LEADERS OUT OF MY SIGHT. AND OF COURSE I WAS NEVER VERY ADVENTUROUS WHEN IT CAME TO TAKING WALKS OR HIKES, BECAUSE I WOULD GO ONLY WHERE I WAS SURE I COULD NEVER GET LOST.
