Losing my car keys while I’m out somewhere, and my wallet when I have a loaded cart and there’s a line behind me and I’ve already unloaded it all and everything’s been scanned (mortifying..!). Besides for parking back up my narrow driveway and hitting the neighbor’s house or my husband’s car 😱. Those are my fears 😂.
Tell me about your worst fear and how you overcome it
I don't know if it's my worst. But I had a very strong fear of dogs. Bc When I was seven a big dog once came out of nowhere, and chase me around the block. Well not totally around apparently got called off partway but I didn't know that and I ran all the way around.
I had to go two neighbors houses for shabbos and said neighbors had a dog. The first bunch of times they would put the dog outside or in another room. Eventually they stopped doing that and the dog was put away when I came in. But then let out after. So I sat with my feet up underneath me and not dangling down.
Eventually with a lot of time and many visits I managed to get my feet down. I would still jump whenever the dog walked by me but I was okay with going to their house. I might have been able to pet that dog I don't remember.
since then it always takes me a little while to get used to a dog but I have been able to pet dogs. I even once chased a dog when the dog got out of the house I was staying at and I was thinking "oh man I can't lose their dog" so I chased the dog.
So long story short exposure therapy and my mom who didn't let me stay so scared and kind of forced the exposure on me.
Tell me about a time when you forgot something immediately example when you couldn't find your glasses and you were wearing them or when you couldn't find your phone but you were on it.
