I hate when people use a worst case scenario and assume thats par for the course. An excellent example from my life is hitchhiking. Apparently I shouldn't hitchhike because I will get murdered, robbed, raped whatever. But apparently people shouldn't pick up hitchhikers for the same reason. I never know if I am supposed to be the raper or the rapee

very well said.

fear is the worst paralyser in life. just like you said, since most of it ends up being irrational.

i think what happened was things that started out as warnings to keep people aware of *possible* dangers keep getting exaggerated and exaggerated until they're all hyperboles and everyone's out to kill, rape and eat everyone else and not always in that order.

it still gets to me from time to time then when i finally just say "fuck it, let's go" i feel dumb for having stopped in the first place.

yeah....although whenever fear gets to me it is most definitely irrational lol its more anxiety. but i have more trouble ordering a pizza than jumping out of a plane lol i will stand by the side of the road with my thumb out and get into a strangers car ready to make conversation with a stranger for as long as they will drive me (the longest was like 3 days haha) but calling and saying "2 largepizzas. one with pepperoni and bacon and one with tomatoes n mushrooms" then giving them my address is much harder lol
