Overtime I’ve aquired fears for the following things:
Birds- because they can attack your face and you can’t always see them coming. 
Clowns (and chainsaws)- because of an extensive haunted house marathon in college.
Heights- this is MOST recent. I hadn’t realized I was THIS terrified until I found myself screaming uncontrollably on a FERRIS WHEEL.
In any of the above cases I’d prefer not to fight. That would require me to stay present in the situation and if you think I’m going to stick around and duke it out with a clown, forget about it! However, I’d also prefer not to flee (flight). Running from a clown only makes them chase you more, and TRYING to run from a bird is almost impossible. They FLY!
I propose another option, GLITTER!! I believe that if I carry a small vile of glitter at all times I will not be afraid. If approached by a clown, I can throw glitter in his face. To me, the glitter will make him less imposing. He becomes “fairy-like.” If I throw glitter at a bird, they will likely fly away as projectiles hurling at them, no matter the size, will distract from any ideas of attack on my face..
I’m still working out the kinks on the effectiveness of glitter on height. But I believe, if I put glitter on near to anything, it instantly becomes prettier, and more acceptable to my psyche.
What are YOUR fears??
Be Yourself. Everyone else is TAKEN.
