If
you're
terrified
of
something
,
is
it
always
a
bad
thing
?
I'm
not
so
sure
.
I've
been
scared
of
things
all
my
life
-
and
I
don't
just
mean
the
odd

or
two
when
I
was
younger
.
But
I
think
it's
made
me
who
I
am
today
.
Fear
has
its
uses
.
It
keeps
us
safe
,
for
a
start
.
And
I
really
believe
that
if
we
face
up
to
our
fears
,
we
can
learn
from
them
.
That's
called

,
apparently

So
,
say
you're
scared
of

speaking
,
like
most
people
are
.
If
you
take
the
plunge
and
give
a
talk
in
front
of
an

,
you'll
probably
find
it
easier
next
time
.
And
the
time
after
that
.
Until

,
it
doesn't
bother
you
any
more
.
In
fact
,
you
might
even
enjoy
it
!
The
problem
is
,
though
,
that
fear
can
also
stop
us
doing
things
.
I
know
this
because
I'm
frightened
of
____________________
of
stuff
.
I
hate
heights
,
for
example
.
The
idea
of
going
bungee
jumping
or
skydiving
just
isn't
for
me
-
even
though
some
people
love
the

(
that's
the
thrill
you
get
out
of
it
)
.
I
can't
stand
spiders
either
.
Most
of
the
ones
you
see
in
England
aren't
dangerous
,
but
they

And
I'd
never
go
travelling
in
Australia
because
of
the
poisonous
ones
there
.
But
it's
not
as
simple
as
saying
,
'I'm
scared
of
spiders
,
so
I'll
avoid
them
.
'
As
soon
as
I
see
one
,
I
freeze
on
the
spot
.
My
heart
starts
pounding
and
I
feel
sick
.
It's
a
bit
like
having

So
actually
,
my
fear
of
spiders
is
pretty

.
It
stops
me
enjoying
walks
in
the
countryside
,
and
I
have
to
check
every

in
my
house
before
I
go
to
bed
at
night
