Midnight Musings:

For many of us, plenty of ordinary, everyday things frighten us. The good news is that you're not alone. 

A recent online discussion lists some of the most common things people are seriously concerned about. Here's what makes the list. 

Abandonment

Some people hate saying goodbye and the fear they may never see that person again. This can stem from being left behind in childhood or a really tough relationship. 

Sleep Paralysis

Sleep paralysis is terrifying because when it happens, it's hard to do anything about it!  

Getting Touched By Something in the Water

Something Happening to Their Kids

Parents will do anything for their children and the thought of something horrible happening to their children is enough to keep you up at night. 

Introductions

People with social anxiety may really hate doing group introductions when working with big groups. We all have done the icebreakers that can be awkward and truly terrifying.
