You don’t simply conquer a fear and think that’s the end of it. The fear stays with you throughout your life. However, how much that fear controls you is something you can do something about. I’ve been scared of many things ((still am)).

Heights, fortunately, isn’t that big of a deal, though I definitely dislike being in high places. Mainly because I can’t help but think of the worst possible event that could happen, and that would psyche me out. But usually not enough to the point I can’t do anything. Unless it’s a cliff, then I’m out.

Being alone is something that I consciously don’t think about, but deep down terrifies me. I get lonely easily, and while I’m good at brushing these things off, I get put off if I’m ignored. Or just alone in the house. I like to believe it’s something I can deal with, but until that happens ((which hopefully doesn’t)), I’ll never know.

These two, failure and rejection, aren’t necessarily fears, but are more of my own self-esteem issues. I had a hard time until just recently of getting over my own self-doubts and self-put-downs. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but it’s probably something that’ll stick with me forever. But as long as I can bring myself back, it shouldn’t become a problem.
