What are you afraid of?

Jul 25, 2007 14:23

Believe it or not, but I'm afraid of a lot of things. Heights. Ladders. Change. Particularly change. When something I took for constant turns to a variable, I feel very lost and uncomfortable.

Perhaps the strangest is the fact that I'm afraid of silence. I cannot take the sound of silence. I'm destroyed my ears and hearing badly enough that, in situations where there is no other noise, my ears ring sharply. It hurts really badly. I cannot sleep in silence. I cannot function in silence. So I always need background noise, whether it be traffic, air blowing, or music. I guess that may be another reason why I have to live in a city; it's barely ever completely silent in a city.
