I am the same way. Still hard to push myself to do some things. I have a few things in my bucket list that I want to try. Most of them are things that scare me. One of them being sky diving. That one will be the hardest for me to try. But its on my list.

Yes... but now I'm afraid of heights. I don't get it. From flying planes and gyrocopters to fearing heights. What happened to me?

My wife just celebrated her 79 birthday and my daughters got us a hot air balloon ride. We are checking off our bucket list.

I have pushed myself by mountain climbing, white water canoeing and rafting, and waterfall rappeling since my early teens. I want to try ballooning, maybe even parachute jump with instructor.

I don't have to - those things seem to seek me out!

Yes I usually do.. life is too short to waste time being afraid

Generally yes although many times I find that I've done something without thinking it through enough and THEN find myself in a scary situation. Don't do that as often now that I've kinda got half a clue.

I do. Courage is not the absence of fear, but acting in spite of it. Granted I have no flight instinct and only fight. I'm strangely drawn to what scares me.

I think the following will present a challenge,doing what is considered to be the most dangerous mountain hike in the world. See following link.

Yes I have done that. Being interested in all aspects of flight and also participating in flying in all it's usual forms, I became interested in paragliding at the age of about 65. although I was very scared of this form of flying, I forced myself to continue to participate......stepping off cliff tops terrified me to the extent that I took anti anxiety tablets [ benzodiazapine ] before every flight. I stood it for three years until one day I swung so much sideways that I feared falling into my own canopy.This caused me to gave it up and finally admitting to myself that I really was being quite .rediculous.....

Actually yeah, I don't like being scared, so I try to challenge fears. I was scared of heights so I took up climbing, for example

I have always heard this at least from the people that are very brave say. If someone tells you they are not afraid they have a fool for an advisor

Not so much scary but outside of my comfort zone. Just enough to keep my brain changing and growing. Right now I'm taking voice and guitar lessons :0

More and more these days. I've probably taken on more new things within the last year or so than I've done in most of my life.

I have in the past, it didn't help, so now I am happy to accept my phobias.

Yes. I've found that I am indecisive when it comes to involving others, such as a book discussion. SO, I will attempt to start a group on this website, be the moderator and see what happens. (This may not seem scary to most, but it is for me. I am my own worst critic.)

I don't want to sound like some posturing, preening male, but if I have any signigicant fears, I'm not aware of them / don't experience them that way. That is largely a function of already having experienced all the major worst-case scenarios in life, short of death. As they say -- beware the man who has nothing to lose.

I have dislikes, and I do push into those discomfort zones where it makes sense (where my dislikes are limiting to me or mine in some way). That's usually when I'm avoidant of something for self-defeating reasons, such as avoiding needed exercise or dietary changes or communicating about something I don't like to discuss or communicating usefully when I'm more naturally prone to just be irascible.

Jumped out an airplane with a parachute twice. Doing stuff like that really clarifies how cool it is to be alive - becuase you can be gone pretty easy - like falling out of an airplane.

Sometimes usually lately facing my fears has meant dealing with my past and letting it go.

Not much really scares me, but I try to force myself to step out of my comfort zone often.

Sometimes. However, I’ve learned consequences are more impactful upon the ones I love.

The only way to overcome fear is to embrace fear. Sometimes when I think about how fear dictates the collective mind... Its very unnerving the way people manipulate fear through communication, expression, body language... Its like an eery dream that repeats itself over and over again subtley throughout many lifetimes. You relive it if you don't embrace it and overcome it.

Fearless and my daughter is too.

Fear is a matter of the unknown, until it better known. When you add love, work and time.

Not enough any more. but that said, I just joined a workshop for vocal empowerment. it's called power in the voice, & facilitated by our choir master. I will have to be singing solo on stage towards the finale in eight weeks. very exciting!

All the damned time. I have a simple equation - I knock on doors and ask questions. What's the worst that can happen? I get told no. What's the best that can happen? I get told yes. If you can truly own that fearlessness, then you can try anything. It may not work, but it's the effort that counts, in my opinion.
