Being different. Whilst I'm not afraid of change around me, I'm afraid becoming a different person myself abd not thinking the way I do now. I know change is necessary and unavoidable but I just hate the thought of being a different person.

When I first played KH. I chose being different and still choose it to this day because that's I how I play it. Today, though I have to choose being indecisive because that seems to be the biggest fear in my life right now.

I'm not afraid of getting old. When it happens, hell, I'll embrace it. Everyone grows old (if you live that long), and whether you see that as a blessing or a curse is up to you. I'd be scared if it got to the point where I had Alzheimer's, or could barely function on my own (assisted living?). By that point I'd rather die while I still have all my marbles together, as well as the ability to move on my own.

 

I don't know why I'd fear being indecicive? I wouldn't call myself indecisive already - it's more that, I'm typically easygoing and leave a decision up tothe other person to decide if I REALLY don't give a shit. I don't see why I'd fear that anyways.

 

And being different? Pfft. If that were my case, I'd've been afraid of myself for years. I've come too far, I don't even know how to be normal even if I tried. I'm not saying this in a "hurrdurr special snowflake" kind of way, it's just I do what I want, I could give less of a firetruck whether that makes me "different" or "normal". if I like it, I'll do it.

 

I don't fear anything from that list. Some or my (probably many) fears are losing the people I love, witnessing a real-life murder of an innocent, bugs, bugs, BUGS!!!, and excess amounts of gore/blood in most situations.

Indecision is actually a very real fear for me, if you want to call it that.

 

Nothing really scares me like my own survival instinct. The thought that it might stop me from acting when I know that immediate action is necessary for someone elses safety has literally kept me up at night. I never realized exactly how strong that instinct could be until I was in a room full of people and we were asked to draw our own blood for the first time. Maybe some of you can do it without blinking, but just bringing that needle up to myself was immensely difficult, let alone working myself up to actually stick myself, because we're so instinctually hardwired against self injury. In the end I was the only one in my group of six who could do it, but ever since then I haven't been able to shake the idea that I might freeze up like that again at a critical moment and someone will get hurt because of it.

 

And that is why I always choose indecision.

Well being different isn't so bad sometimes it makes you unique and that can be a good thing. I see myself being indecisive a lot actually and sometimes I don't like it but again it's not a bad thing.  Growing old, like it or not it's gonna happen and you have to come to terms with it and I think it takes you growing up and growing old to start coming to terms with it so that in itself is an experience.  Game wise I normally pick growing old because idk really like I said for game play reasons that's why I pick it.  But for the poll probably being alone, sure it's alright to be alone sometimes but once it starts to become to long then well it kinda takes a toll on you, so that's probably what I would pick.

Once you're old, you're old. There's no going back. 

  I work at a retirement facility and there's a lot of sorrow that you guys never see. Dementia and Alzheimer's are a thing and it's scary to forget everyone you love.

I would like this but I'm quota :( But I just have to say that you are awesome and all you need is to forget all self doubt and build more self confidence so you can see how wonderful of a person you are .I have every bit of faith you will do what needs to be done ! YOU just need to know that .

I really don't know.

 

Growing old isn't as scary as growing up. The future as a whole is something in general that I'm much more afraid of.

 

Being different is something I'm proud to be. Being treated differently is something that keeps me up at night.

 

Being indecisive is something I fundamentally am and it's something I detest about myself.

 

I am truly on the fence here.
