Lost my original version of this (I'm seriously getting ticked off at Weebly, because the original of this was much better), but upon further reflection, I realized that my more adult fears are actually tied together, and so is the one about pain, which isn't that silly when you realize fear of emotional pain is included in it.
Basically, fear of losing my family can be thought of as being a fear of being rejected.
It also induces a fear of being hurt by them.
And a fear of being alone.
Because they're all part of the same basic fear, that I think a lot of humans have. Humans basically seek companionship; we're essentially hard-wired to want it. And my true fear is of not having it. In short,
I fear doing a lot of things because I am afraid of rejection (because that would hurt, something I am afraid of), and my fear of rejection is because of my fear of being alone.
...Still working on how "fear of being hit by a fast-moving ball" fits into the picture, though!
