Assignment 11- Paige Barricklow

I'm scared of a lot of things, spiders, the patriarchy, clowns with axes, serial killers, falling, and many others, but the thing I'm scared of most is being alone. I don't mean just by myself, I mean truly and totally alone. I am terrified of being in a situation where I am by myself with no phone or other way to contact my parents or someone else. I am afraid that if I don't have a constant safety net in a phone or another human something terrible is going to happen to me. An extension of this fear is the fear that all of my friends and family will suddenly hate me. That something will happen and my friends won't care about me anymore or want to be around me. I constantly worry that my friends are only pretending to like me and will leave me alone and sad. I know this won't ever happen (probably) but it still terrifies me.
