Things That Scare Me

When I posted my recent video on Feeling Like A Fraud, I had a lovely comment from Kate's Adventures (along with lots of other lovely comments), who suggested that I make a list of things I'd like to do confidently and tick them off one by one. I'd be starting with the least scary thing, and then build my way up the list; and before I know it, the things that used to scare me don't anymore - well, that's the plan, anyway.

So I thought I'd make a list of the things that scare me (trust me, there are more than this, these are just the first things that come to mind) and include an idea of how much they terrify me on a scale of 1 to 10. (1 being not that scary, and 10 being like that time I was thirteen years old and forced to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre at a sleepover and freaked out every time I heard a chainsaw for years afterwards.) 

Some of the things on this list are going to sound completley ridiculous - but remember, I have ridiculous levels of Anxiety.

  1. Making more unscripted videos (4/10)
  2. Walking around the city centre by myself (5/10)
  3. Talking on the phone (6/10)
  4. Talking to people at blogging and YouTube events (7/10)
  5. Posting my YouTube videos to my personal Facebook account (8/10)
  6. Vlogging in public (9/10)
  7. Going to a new place by myself (10/10)

So, what scares you?
