Friday May 2, 2025 | Journal Prompt | List a few phobias you have. When and how did you discover you had these fears?

I was told that I didn't have any fears. By who? Not quite sure.  But why am I afraid to stand up for myself?  The short answer is I don't know.  I don't even know why I am afraid to stand up for myself.  I guess the simplest thing for me to do is let everyone do for me what they have always done for years without any arguments from me. And no ifs, and or buts.  I just do whatever it is that people ask me to do and that's that.  But why can't I do something for me?  Because people don't think that I can make the right choices for myself.  So people have to make decisions for me.  Like if say what if I want to meet someone?  People would automatically pop up and say "no, that is not a good idea".  This is why I say that I am mentally a three year old.  Yes, physically I am a 51 year old but I'm mentally a three year old.  I think that I will always be mentally a three year old.  

I'm not done yet.
