im 31. i can't remember not being afraid. i always remember waking up in the middle of the night as a small child, like 3 or 4, and my mom telling me it was all in my head.. but it wasn't. not to mention the car rides sitting in the middle of my little bro and big sis who both got car sick EVERYEHERE we went, a lot of the time on me. i would always hum and close my eyes and ears. my dad would yell at me and call me a baby. when i didn't feel well he would make fun of me. he's still a dick. lol. maybe thats y i have always been scared. i really dunno.
