As a child I was completely riddled with fears and phobias. As I moved into my teens the fear of death was probably the most prevalent. I could quite literally bring myself to tears by over-thinking it. The finality of no longer existing on the planet! Other day to day fears were things like being afraid of the dark and talking on the telephone. I would get so nervous if my library books were due to expire and I was forced to ring in to renew then. What if I said the wrong thing when talking to an adult!
