... if you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it "I'm afraid of _ out of 72 common fears..."

Hmmmm, I wouldn't say I'm fearless. I think of fears as things that freak you out to even think about, which a lot of these are not... but you bet I'd be scared if I actually CAUGHT an incurable disease! I just don't think "Oh man, there's diseases out there that will kill you and there's not even a cure for them... oh no... OH MY GOOOOOD!!"

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling ()
If you get more than 20, you're paranoid. ()
If you get 10-20, you are normal. ( )
If you get 10 or less, you're fearless. (x)
