... 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, counseling is strongly recommended.
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.
That was fun!
