| So.. IN PSYCHOLOGY (Most of my topics come from thinking in class) we were learning different methods to conquering fear, the two most basic and most common being Exposure and Flooding. Exposure is being exposed to small amount and getting habituated with it so you can move up, and is a slow way of getting rid of a phobia Examples A fear of snakes would be cured by being exposed to one baby snake and then moving your way up sizes of snakes A fear of heights would be cured by going to the top of a house, and then a bigger building and constantly making your way up Flooding is being exposed to the most extreme to set a new standard and is a fast way of getting rid of a phobia Examples A fear of snakes would be cured by being exposed to an Andaconda or Reticulated Python and even though you are scared of those, smaller snakes would not compare. A fear of heights would be going to a tourist attraction tower and standing on the "See Through" panels and again, even if you were scared of it, being ontop of an office building isn't as bad. Which is your preferred way? Exposure or Flooding? Or do you prefer to just avoid your fear? |

| To conquer fear you must become fear. |

| I run and pretend it doesn't exist? That's healthy, right? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

I'm not sure what to do. You'll get used to having floppy cylinders shoved up your anus. Soon enough, a tentacle will become a daily affair just like a strawberry smoothie with orange juice for breakfast. I'm sure it won't be too bad, I wonder what it tastes like afterward. Jelly? Do different-colored tentacle monsters have different tasting semen? Interesting, I think this is helping me overcome my fear of tentacle monsters. |

| I had some fears as a kid, and I just went ballz deep and 'flooded' them. I was scared of snakes: My neighbour had a python. I would just force myself to go there every other day to play with said snake. After a while I started liking the beasty to the point I actually was very sad when it died. Now? I am fearless. |

| I don't. I viciously avoid the thing until the pain/anxiety/whatever becomes greater than the fear. At least with most things. My fear of spiders has slightly decreased due to every videogame ever always having giant spiders for some reason. (Although if one touched me I'd have a heart attack) |

| If I were afraid of snakes/insects/clowns/whatever, I think I could live with that. I imagine fear of heights can be inconvenient though, so I'd try to conquer it, probably with flooding, because I'm impatient. As for my actual fears... Most of them are rational and not really something you would want to conquer with these methods. For example I fear that I'm going to end up homeless. It seems more probable every day, but all I can do is work hard not to let it happen. |

Next stop: skydiving.Taking my fear head on of course. I don't give a shit if you came in my house by accident Mr. Cockroach, I'm killing your arse |
| When I'm scared, I stop being scared and be awesome instead. I also punch spiders, that helps me not fear those little spawns of satan. |
| I avoid it. Which is why I'll never step foot in a plane. My second fear I conquer by killing any spider within my sight. |

| Buy a gun. |
| I used to avoid them, but I became so tired of it that I eventually started with exposure. |
| Fear is a friend that is trying to preserve you, ensure your safety and peace of mind, it's not wise to go against it. |

| I have a fear of heights, and I went bungee jumping (192 m). I'm debating on going skydiving later, but the thought literally gets me close to a heart attack. |

| i deal with my fears by being open to them. if you are totally open to fear in the moment and allow it to really run its course rather than avoid it, you will be dealing with that fear, and see that it is actually nothing to worry about. 'nothing to fear but fear itself' is a powerful quote that has really helped me out in life. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| if its a physical challenge, like skiing a slope thats too advanced for you, or jumping off a big cliff (into water) i just turn it off. i just flick some switch in my head. i figure if it scares me i better just do it, then i'll feel a bit of temporary pride in myself ^^ conquering social fears is much harder. if i'm in a room full of people i don't know, its easy. but if its relatives i freak out. beats me! |
