I have temporary fears. Like, the other day, I was on the highway and a car didn't look before he merged and merged ON me. I had to maneuver very quickly, our cars were less than a foot from each other, he came VERY close to hitting me. For the next few weeks, I will be very jumpy when I think someone MIGHT be changing a lane onto me.
My less fleeting fears, I tend to try to avoid. I am afraid of sleeping alone in the dark because I when I am alone in the dark, I see the disembodied souls of the dead bodies I have gawked at returning to haunt me for gawking at their bodies. So on the one night (Sunday night) that I do sleep by myself (as my husband is at work) I sleep in front of the TV with a boring, slow moving on and the kitchen light on on the futon in my living room.
I'm afraid that a horribly desperate or mentally deranged vagrant will try to mug me or otherwise harm me. Due to this, I will try to avoid them, avoid eye contact with them or in some cases, pull out money real fast, give it to them and walk away. The problem with the last one is that I normally don't carry cash on me and I'm also broke anyway.
I also fear spiders. I fear the hell out of them. I don't squish spiders because I am so afraid one will jump on me. And coyotes. I avoid my more permanent fears or do my best to avoid contact with them.
How do your fears affect you?

I generally avoid my fears.
