I saw this video of this little girl looking terrified while practicing a stunt with her dad. She showed so much bravery.

u yes... to live, to bond... to be myself
I grew up a very VERY shy kid, painfully anxious about interacting with most people, especially strangers and people who were too touchy and grabby (I'm looking at all you girls who think babies and little kids are too cute not to pinch their cheeks)
and even with those I was used and felt less shy and anxious, I could not always relate to them because well, in few ways I did grow up too fast, or developed too fast in my mindset (physically, I was a little shrimp as a kid) so that made me too reserved most of the time, and I felt I was way too quirky, or sometimes I thought everyone around me was "weird" lol
and then, my life, young short life.. got too complicated way too early, way too soon and it was a whole lot for me to handle, and whenever I thought I had understood or managed to deal with it, the worst was yet to come... which, was the thing that me fear what I fear the most... losing the people in my life, made me lose sight of what is worth to life for... although I knew it was worth, at the moment felt very VERY out of my reach
but hey, here we are, still... we might not be here for a long time but for a fun, good, great time...

Yes, plenty! Being a former Gymnast, learning to do a backflip on a 4 inch wide beam of wood is terrifying! Actually pretty much everything you do on a 4 inch wide beam of wood is terrifying until you are so confident of your abilities that you no longer even think about it! Yes obviously we practice on a floor-mat with the outline of the beam on it first, but doing it on the floor, on a mat and doing it on a 4 inch wide beam, 4 ft in the air, are two completely different things psychologically!
But not to get too dark, nothing ever terrified me more than making that call to my mom after my uncle left that very last time he ever raped me! It was by far the most terrifying thing I’ve ever had to do in my life! In fact even after I knew I was going to tell my mom, it still took me 3 days to gather the courage to actually go through with it, and cal her! The fear of not being believed, the grooming they do before, and the brainwashing these perpetrators do, makes us believe it’s our fault, is incredibly powerful, especially to a little girl who was 12 just 3 days before the first time he raped me, and 3 ½ months before the last time! It was the most terrifying, and emotionally negative thing I could even imagine going through, especially at that age!

Dang, they got competitive cheerleading families now?😂 I would break my damn neck. I always wonder how people like cheerleaders, gymnasts, dancers, figure skaters, anybody doing any kind of X-Games type shit like skateboarding, snowboarding, etc…. how do you get from novice to expert without getting crippled or killed the first few times they try this stuff? Like “I either land this move or I get snapped in half”, lmao. That’s a little high stakes for me, and I’ve always played fairly dangerous sports, but yikes 😱
I guess maybe the scariest thing for me was having to rescue my ex-girlfriend’s little sister from getting swept away in a river. I’m not the strongest swimmer, adequate I suppose, but not up for lifeguard duty. But it was just kind of one of those “if not me, then who?” moments, so I just didn’t think to much, I just ran in. It was as scary as advertised because she almost took me down with her, lmao. But I managed to get a toe in the sand one of the times she pushed me under, and I was able to thrust myself towards the shore, and the next piece of ground was enough to get me with my head above the water. I was able to get my breath and then trudge the rest of the way to river bank. Close call for sure, but it had to be done.

I discovered I was acrophobic when I climbed the High Dive at Jax U, while in Band Camp in high school.
Climbing back down the ladder was not an option, so I took a firm hold of the railing and inched my way towards the edge of the platform, waves of anxiety pulsating throughout my entire body.
And as I stood there at the edge my mind raced with all sorts of scenarios, most of which involved me going to the ER.
But I gathered my wits, focused on the water's surface, took a deep breath and jumped.
A perfect Jackknife!

I think getting anything out of life beyond just existing takes you many many times out of your comfort zone and into the territory of being apprehensive or actually being fearful of what “might” happen. Yes you might fail , yes it might hurt a little emotionally or physically but you have to try regardless , very little is without risk. Being relatively shy and inward as a child I knew if I ever wanted to be regarded or respected professionally I’d have to change so I had to challenge what I thought my boundaries were each time pushing myself to be more.

I'm afraid of heights firstly. I can't even run now because of a knee implant gone wrong or not being best for me, let alone do a stunt.
I go on airplanes and yet I am terrified of heights. SO I'm never by the window and if I am, I pull down the shade.

I am relatively stupid with some things such as downhill mountain biking, winter training where you go into water fully clothed and then roll in the snow, and just do it. The two biggest ones for me have been, buying my house and also having to speak to an audience of about 300-400 people for 30 minutes, on my own and then answer questions.

All the time in my life. I have always embraced my fears except one. Even as a child I feared being alone and I dreamt about it. When I was in my 20s I drank a tea with some friends in the desert of what's called the devils weed which is off the books completely. I had a hallucination where a big 10 foot Indian chief took me on a trip where a blonde and a brunette young girls were chasing me. He told me you must choose only one. I couldn't do it my entire life and because of this I spent my life alone on every holiday. One birthday I spent with a girl I cared for and she ended up destroying the only place I felt comfortable in.

Yeah, I was afraid of mice growing up, and had to deal with them.. So I became unafraid of them.. And now I'm a Jerry Slayer.. 😈😈.. 😂.. On a sidenote that video was sweet... Till I realize high performing kids always seem to have toxic, demanding parents.. The father seems great at first glance but that "cause I didn't think you would do it right" kinda got me side eyeing.. I don't trust family channels anymore.. LOL..

HALO jump. I don't like heights. Not going to lie thought it was f'ing amazing. It took over a minute just to hit the first layer of cloud cover. Got up to 220 mph in -55F air temperature. Possibly the most fun I ever had with my clothes on.

I am afraid of heights. I had the opportunity once to go up in a glider, which I knew would bother me. Sitting in this little plane, with no engine, glass all around me, was initially scary as we took off, but later I loved it. It was so much fun, 5000 feet (1500 meters) above the ground. The pilot even let me take the controls for a few minutes.

Many many times. My first dance recital. My first competition. Opening my own business.
Ya, I'm terrified of heights, but go to the amusement park and six flags all the time now! I also want to move to a big city in a city view apartment. So I'll be facing my fears for sure

Looks like basic cheer stunting. Nothing major. However, I do get that cheer can be quite dangerous
And yes, I have. I feared getting up in front of a large group of people, and reading from the torah for my bar mitzvah. There are no vowels in the torah, those are modern additions. So, it'd be like reading English without the vowels, possible, but difficult. I did this back in march of 2002, when i was of course, 13
