Sadly there is very little point trying to get people to see how much of a powerful statement this is. People do not get this until something happens to them that makes them realize this.

Because it's such bs. I fear dying in an out of my control accident on my way home from work tonight. According to this "powerful statement" I need to go crash into a semi on the way home. Stop trying to be fake profound

That's actually not true when people make shushes and dismissals when someone talks about the behemoth in the room. No oh hell no we pretend that's a good thing or else nevermind.

I need to meet a killer clown
or fight a grizzly bear.
On ladders, I should jump back down
and tumble through the air.

The cave I fear to enter
holds the treasure that I seek.
But it’s also full of poisonous snakes.
Fuck it, call me weak.

I am afraid if people find out I have been living with rabies for several years now they will try to get mee vaccinated . Way back when in my under grad days in college I used to be morbidly afraid of catching gonnnorehea, bc of my brief time in the Marines , I remember a bunch of Airmen coming back from Tijuana with gonorrhea and green stuff coming out of their urethra. So fast forward to the time I caught it having sex in a bathroom stall at Ruchi's # 20 drinking margaritas at 12 am Friday morning. So basically I had symptoms almost pretty much same day but by that time it was after 5 pm Friday and I was screwed bc the clinic didn't open back up until Monday. So the weekend was excruciatingly painful. With what amounted to the equivalent of the feeling of razors blades dripping out your piss hole every 10 seconds. I had caught an africanized form of gonorrhea, so it was more like Mr.A1 Alpha Gonorrhea. The doctor gave me very specific instructions he said no alcohol while taking meds , ha I thought he will never know. So I drank with the medicine. And the medicine worked fine until I ran out and then the africanized gonorrhea returned and ouch , I had to go back to doctor. I had to explain that I accidentally drank beer and so he understood and just gave me a one time expensive $100 injection to get rid of bacteria , and it has never came back .....

What do you think, the meaning of this statement is to have to crash your car into a semi? You misinterpret this statement. Face your fears, choose your pain, that's the direction of this statement. Like I said: "People do not get this until something happens to them that makes them realize this. "

No, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about matching your irrational fears against actual reality, finding more nuanced views of reality and developing realistic expectations. It isn't about explicitly searching for danger. There is a lot of stuff we fear that is actually dangerous, and we should respect it. Like wild animals, traffic, dark allies in poor neighbourhoods, etc...

I fear Grizzly bears. But I took your advice and tried to "Do" a grizzly. It did not end well for me. The bear was annoyed but due to hibernation was not quite lethal. I guess the lesson is "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

I need to go caving??? I fear escalators. I fear driving off a bridge. I am terrified by small dark dark places.

Space Mountain was freaking awful. The tunnel at Diamond Head in Hawaii was not cool. I need a warning for things like that. Caution: May make you bawl and/or scream.

I fear all recreational drugs.

Cough syrup with codeine was a bad experience for me.

Most people: help sleep

Me: insomnia with a side of losing my damn mind

If a prescription can F my life that bad, I don't want to play.
