    Okay. What are some things you are no longer afraid of, but used to be?
     
    Dogs.

    Yes, really. They used to scare the muk out of me when I was a little. Thankfully I've grown up :3
     
    Hm... I'm not really sure. Oh, wait! I used to be afraid of escalators. I don't know why at the time though. I managed to overcome that fear once when I had to ride one to get the cool air conditioned building. See, they had this place for visitors, but the elevators were broken I think. So, the only way to get up there was by escalator. It was hot in Boston when we were there too. I ended up overcoming my fear of escalators at that time. Now, I have no problem going up and down them. :3
     
    the dark and people's opinions of me.

    when i was young i had a night light, but then one day i suddenly wasn't afraid anymore. i don't know how or why, but i'm gonna assume i just grew up and realized that the dark won't hurt me; and that there's no creatures lurking about. :x

    for the latter, i guess i basically stopped caring about that. most people are going to judge you, that's just how it is.. if they don't like you, why care. find people who do like you, because they're the ones who are worth your time.
     
    Darkness. I was scared beyond when I was little. Now I prefer sitting in dark instead on fully lit room.
    Long time ago I feared spiders as well, but now when I see smaller spider walking on me, I don't flinch. I'm only afraid of those which are poisonous.
     
    I used to be scared of the dark, but these days I like having a dark room. Even in the daytime I don't enjoy opening my blind because I hate exposure, probably because I enjoy darkness and its privacy so much.
     
    Teletubbies were and still are to this day, terrifying. :(
     
    Dogs.

    Growing up, I had about five dogs attack me, so I didn't like them. The worst of one tackled me and started gnawing on the back of my head. It took me a while to get over that fear, but I finally did. Although I still get uneasy when I'm around a particularly aggressive one.
     
    I used to be afraid to go to chuck e cheese because of

    I also used to be afraid of cooties but now I'm just afraid of girls.
     
    The dark. The dark still kinda creeps me out every now and then, but not to the point of hiding under my covers and curling up into a ball. I also used to really be against killing things and couldn't even bring myself to kill an ant without having an existential breakdown.
