What’s a fear you’ve overcome — and how did you do it?
Rollercoasters. I overcame my fear of rollercoasters. It’s connected to my fear of falling but I’m not fully over that. That is still very situational. I can however ride a rollercoaster without thinking I’m going to fall to my death.
As for how I overcame it? I started small, riding coasters that didn’t feel as scary as others. I also didn’t ride by myself. I rode with my partner and their kid. Riding with people who are excited but also want you to have a good time, really helps. It makes you feel safe and forget the fears for a bit. After enjoying a ride or two it got easier. Eventually I was able to do some by myself too.
There’s still some coasters I’m trepidatious about but I feel less fearful of them than I once did.
