As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange ___1___ things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that ___2___ me so much. There was never total ___3___, but a streetlight or passing car lights ___4___clothes hung over a chair take on the ___5___ of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my ___6___, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no ___7___. A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My ___8___ would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would ___9___ very still so that the "enemy" would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, ___10___ on the way home from school. Every morning I get on the school bus right near my home--that was no ___11___. After school, ___12___, when all the buses were ___13___ up along the street, I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one, and be taken to some ___14___ neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or museum, I wouldn't ___15___ the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears ___16___ all I had as a child was that of not being liked or ___17___ by others. Being popular was so important to me ___18___, and the fear of not being liked was a ___19___ one.
