Fear of the unknown

    What am I doing here? Shyness expresses itself in the feeling that I am not supposed to be here. I can't let myself go. I used to be terrified of being under water. I used to be afraid of the dark. I used to fear that wild animals would tear me apart in my dreams. Still, deep black water unnerves me yet. The blank page. The unknown. Hardly an intrepid explorer, am I? Then what am I doing here?
