Contest: ENTER Misc Avatar Contest: "Facing your fears"

[Miss Lemon]

I'm going to go all Sigmund Freud on you and ask you to make an avatar of your (biggest) fear, as all self help books will tell you that facing your fears may lead to great opportunities.

Alternatively, you can make an avatar of something you would like to do or have done to conquer your fear(s).

For example, I am terrified of heights:

and last year I went gliding:

I hope to go zip-lining some day, assuming that my fat ass doesn't snap the line. It would cover facing a lot of my fears--heights, making a public spectacle of myself and possibly dying in some ridiculous manner.

^ You brave woman you. We should all come and cheer you on.

When I was about seven years old, living in Dorchester, I was playing with a bunch of other kids behind my grandmother's house across the street. It's very hilly there, so the back porch was elevated, probably about eight or ten feet off the ground, with plenty of room for a kid to run straight down the length of it. So that's what I was doing, and just before I came out the other end I noticed that there was a giant spider web covering the whole way out with a big, black spider the size of my fist sitting in it-- and it was way too late to stop. I ran through the web, getting all wrapped up in it, and the giant spider landed on my head. Aaaah! To make a long story short, I developed a bit of a spider phobia after that for many years.

Luckily, I've mostly gotten over it through the decades and now I understand that spiders are our friends. Spiders are our friends. Spiders are our friends.

...and now I understand that spiders are our friends. Spiders are our friends. Spiders are our friends.

But are they really...?

Now I've had a RELAPSE!

 

[Miss Lemon]

Sorry... I guess I'd make at terrible psychologist.

But you can call me any time you need protection. I had to conquer my fear of spiders, as Mister Lemon is terrified of anything that crawls. So I'm usually the one that has to fight these foul beasts.

Crowds. (Worse if they're zombies, but regular people are bad enough.)

 

[auntiehill]

^ I'm with you there.

 

[Miss Lemon]

^ Not a fan either.

I'm not afraid of needles, but I am afraid of needing to use them or an injector pen again if my pump fails given how wonderfully easy it is to manage my Blood Glucose levels with it.

I was just kidding.

Cool. You'll be the one they turn to when the Spiders From Mars invade. "Miss Lemon, the world needs you!"

Zombies are actually better. You can kill zombies.

Good point.
