If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it "I'm Afraid of _ Out of 72 Common Fears".
If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.

Thirteen... Wow, guess I'm normal then. I was certain I'd end up being paranoid, 'cause I kinda am. :V
There were others I could have filled in, but I chose not to because I wouldn't call them constant fears, more like aversions, not something I'd totally freak out over and things I think about a lot of the time.
