If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it I'm afraid of __ out of 72 common fears.

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you're paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you're fearless.
People who don't have any are liars.

Can I just say, there's a few things on this list that make me uncomfortable (e.g. large crowds), but which I don't fear. Or I fear a certain aspect of, but not the thing itself (e.g. dogs, heights, deep water, oceans, sharks -> barking dogs, being thrown off, swimming alone, being eaten by a shark). Or I wouldn't want some things (e.g. going blind) but it's not a fear in that I freak out about the thought all the time.

So really, I think this meme somewhat sucks and I may or may not be such a fearless freak as I am. Or not. I mean, I'm crazy enough as it is, not having irrational fears may be my only plus.
