I have a fear if American cities, often bordering on paranoia. In the four years I've been commuting to Chicago, I have rarely ever ventured off the two streets I need to use to go to college. And if I did, I was with a large group of friends and armed.
It's odd because I didn't have the problem when in Canada or Japan.
Why? I mean, there are always areas that are shady in any city, but downtown Chicago is safe. I even ran from the lake shore to the train station and got help on which train I needed to take (long story) from a homeless man. I tipped him ofcourse, but it was voluntary.
Now I don't think I'd ever NOT be afraid of Japan. *shudder*
Would be a fun place to go once I guess though.
I used to think I was afraid of heights, but I'm not.
I'm really afraid of not being in control.
That would explain why I can dive off 10 meter platform but I couldn't go on rollercoasters. Luckily, I've just bit the bullet and done them, although I've yet to go on most of the big ones at the Six Flags by my house.
I'm also afraid of love... or rather being hurt by them.
