Everyone has a weak part of his own characteristic that is often called the Achilles' heel. Personally, I am afraid of speed, especially a high speed at a high height. I sometimes ask myself what causes of my phobias are, although I do not always figure out my fear.
Fear of danger is usually the first feeling that come to my mind when I am at a high speed. I have got a motorbike in my home country. However, I have never driven it faster than the average speed of forty kilometre per hour. I am afraid that I can not control the speed, thus I may cause accident by myself.
Secondly, I fear something bad to happen when I see someone else is at breakneck speed. When I am traveling on the street, I am so frightened with the sound of crazy cars in the top speed that I can not control my driving. Sometimes I have to stop and get deep breaths before I continue my way.
Thirdly, I am scared stiff at the thought that I would fall down at that speed from that height to the ground when I think about sitting on a roller coaster or standing on a bridge across a highway and looking at the jungle of moving cars below. The feeling of unsafety is always in my mind when I am in that case.
I have not found out the way to overcome my phobia until now, except avoiding facing fears. To face my fear, I have to close my eyes and shout or quit that status immediately. Therefore, these causes help me to understand more my own feeling and I hope that I gradually overcome it when I know where it comes from.

Probably you do not like a roller coaster. However I really like it! But you have to go Magic Mountain!!
