ppl are frightened creatures.
they're always afraid.

afraid of being mocked for their beliefs, their feelings. afraid of letting others in, of telling others what they really think.
afraid of taking a chance. of the unknown.

i'm not saying i'm not in the same boat. just that i'm more aware than you probably are... that we're in a boat in the first place.

lets see all the things we're afraid of...

-afraid of being mocked for what we think , so we never let anyone know the real us. what we're really thinking...
-afraid of living alone and being alone and dying alone.
-afraid of being rejected, so we never tell the person next door that we have a crush on them.
-afraid of standing out, of rocking the boat. so even though we don't want to, we go along with some crazy wild drunk night out plan or let ppl walk all over us.
-afraid that if we don't be the way others want us to be, then we won't be liked/loved. and so we listen to our parents regarding what we study or get into mind numbing jobs or bow down to the dictates of society ( i'm told 98% of the rest of the population doesn't really suffer half the agony of spirit that i do, so my apologies to all u mindless drones out there )
actually i'm told that most ppl don't even realize they're afraid. and that more than half their decisions are based on some fear or the other.
[ its really easy to make sweeping statements like that isn't it? i'm told this and i'm told that. that way i don't really have to take the flak from that particularly nasty anon who keeps attacking my beliefs. see? i'm even afraid of HIM/HER ]

-afraid of feeling and failing and all the rest of it.
-afraid of what ppl REALLY think of us.
-afraid of what we don't understand. ppl we don't understand. of the unknown. of the uncertain.
-afraid of spending an hour just by ourselves. ok mebe 4 hours.. an hour i can handle :P

ok ok alrite. so u get the point. [ and i forget the rest of the list... ]
and stop pitying me. only a couple of the above points actually apply to me. the rest are all fears i've observed in ppl around me.

but seriously..... what ARE you so afraid of?? its just LIFE! :)
go on. go tell her you like her u ninny :P
