I have no fears....and I know that sounds strange as most people have fear of ' something' but I was raised with 4 brothers, 3 boy cousins and that includes their friends...so one learns early that fear gets me no-where lol....as a result...have no fears....lol....but wouldn't wish it on anyone either.

I am terrified of mice and of sleeping alone in a dark room.The latter fear is very problematic when i go on official tours by myself and  have to sleep alone in a hotel room.I know it is an irrational fear but i somehow cannot get over it.:-)

I would (and sometimes do) sleep with the light on in those circumstances Urmi.  Although even getting off to sleep is a problem!

Hi Urmi, it is great to see you back.  I am sorry you have not been well and hope you are fully recovered now.  (Won't have to worry about dark hotel rooms for a while either, lol). 

I always have a book with me and if I am going to leave a light on then I might just as well use it!  So I just read until eventually I fall asleep.  Which can be a problem when the book falls off the bed and bangs onto the floor, lol.

Don't think i have any irrational fears!

But normal fears are ok unless they begin to take over!!  i mean fear helps keep us safe, its an instinct, i fear heights!! but not excesively, but its kept me from falling up to now!!  if you fear dark alleyways, your senses will improve if your in a dark alley, and you'll spot the danger before the person that has no fear!!

hey i didn't say i have no fears!  i have, just not irrationnal ones!  thats what i was saying, having some fears is a good thing, its a defensive thing and prepares your body in dangerous situations!!
