Things I Fear is a community-driven website that discusses everything relative to the word “Fear”. We bring your scariest thoughts to the surface and discuss them in a way that allows you to see them in a completely different perspective: Poorly written satire with just a hint of helpful advice.
Look your Fear right in the metaphorical eyes and laugh in its equally metaphorical face!

Bees just sting people while honey ends up on the shelves in grocery stores. The two are mostly unrelated. Bees are also the
Fear of Making Friends is often referred to as social anxiety disorder. However, Fear of Making Friends just sounds better. It’s a shockingly common Fear to have.

Another great example of someone from the Things I Fear Community submitting an idea for a new post! I especially appreciated this one because it made me think.

While we do have a post about the Top 10 Scariest Monsters as well as references to some scary creatures in the first Things I Fear book, there isn’t a full post focusing on an individual creature. This is sort of the first of its kind! Unless I am horribly mistaken and forgetting about something
