>>>>I was really scared of all sorts of things. I don't think they are illogical fears as a child, however. Lots of things are scary to children and it makes perfect sense in their head. There's usually a reason for what we're scared of. But it doesn't make it easier if other people don't understand.
That's true a lot of kids are scared of a lot of things because they are impressionable.
But I was far more scared that most kids. FAR more. I was scared of everything and I think that fear translates to today's fear. I wondered if others who suffer greatly from chronic fear as adults also suffered as children.
It's weird, nothing really bad ever happened to me when I was a kid or anything like that. Nothing could have provoked it. I was just born with fears of these things. I know others' fears are provoked by events, but I wondered if others were "born scared" as I was. Must be a chemical imbalance of some sort (but I'm no psychologist, just my guess).
