I discovered earlier a thread about Mischa afraid of birds and then I was thinking what other people are scared of.. What are you scared of? (I thought that was a interesting topic but if you don't think so then you can erase it of course.  ) |

Don't worry, hun - it's not a silly thread at all.
There isn't really all that much I'm scared of now, except maybe snakes and really big spiders.
I used to be scared of heights, but I got over that thanks to a friend of my mom, who helped me with all that by giving me the chance to do a 100ft "high fall", which is basically like a bungee jump, but without the bungee - you just jump off the top of a big tower and free-fall 100ft into a huge airbag!... (It's the kind of thing that's normally only done by professional stuntmen - Even actors and actresses who "do their own stunts" aren't normally allowed to do stuff like that, although they did once let Jennifer Garner do a 50ft one during 'Alias'...)

Well, I have a lot of things I'm scared of: Heights Spiders Rats Small rooms High building infront of me - towers etc. (I always think they crash on me) Flashlights And sometimes I'm even afraid of looking into someone's eyes. I'm a little phobic u know. ;D |

And sometimes I'm even afraid of looking into someone's eyes. I don't look into most people's eyes either, not because I'm afraid, just out of politeness (well I suppose I am afraid of someone thinking I'm a psycho because I stare into their eyes for too long). How long is too long to look someone in the eyes! [/needs etiquette lesson] |

How long is too long to look someone in the eyes! [/needs etiquette lesson] I think that, for the first time, probably just a couple of seconds is about right. Then, if they return the look, you can go for longer. The thing is, though, a lot of the time you're not really looking directly into someone's eyes - you're actually scanning their face to see what information you can get from their overall facial expressions. Personally, I don't have a problem with making eye contact - which is probably a good job given that I spend several hours a week working behind a bar! |

Time of me looking into Mischa Anne's eyes on April 14, 2007 = 45 minutes Mischa Anne looking into my eyes on April 14, 2007 = 5 seconds  |
