The Fear Game
Okay, so this is kind of like the "One Lie Game" that I made, but this is to give a bit more variety. Like the last game, it helps us all get to know each other a bit better, but this time focusing on fears. Sometimes to get over our fears, we need to talk about them and know that is what we fear.
So basically, create a list of ten fears, with 9 fears that you actually fear, and only one that is a false fear. So the pattern is swapped from the last game. Then we can talk about our fears if they are guessed, too. If you are guessed, you can make another list if you wish. Have fun, and here is mine!
My Fear List:
1. Open spaces
2. Darkness
3. Spiders
4. Low ceilings
5. Cats
6. Suffocation
7. Decision making
8. Lightning
9. Water
10. Talking on the phone
Nine of these are real (among my hundreds of fears) and only one is false. Good luck! And remember, after the false one is discovered in any list, feel free to talk about the real fears, it really does help.

@Dragonrider: Is it 4 or 5?
(April 30, 2017 - 5:48 am)
You got it! It was number 5. I don't think I'm scared of snakes. I guess if I randomly stumbled upon a poisonous snake I would be scared, but I don't think I live near many poisonous snakes.

Same Dragonrider...This is bad though...I didn't know I had these fears! I don't really think about it!

Now that I've looked at all your lists I'm seeing a lot of things that I should have put on mine.

SAME. IKR?
(April 30, 2017 - 10:59 am)
1. Caterpillars
2. Spiders
3. Worms
4. Tight spaces
5. Failing a test
6. Rock climbing walls
7. Climbing stairs to get to a big rollercoaster
8. Getting kicked out of advanced math/LA
9. Not getting into advanced math/LA in high school
10. Getting a check-in (that's something you get at my school if you get in trouble but not enough to get in detention)
Some of these I've already said I'm afraid of. I'm not scared of very many things, so a lot of these are things I'm just slightly scared of. But, please guess anyways!
