THE THINGS YOU FEAR REVEAL YOUR PERSONALITY Turns out, the things that give you a case of the creeps shed light on your emotions and instincts – and reveal glimpses of your most positive personality traits. If you’re afraid of… SPIDERS – You’re a perceptive trendsetter. Being sensitive to those eight-legged creatures implies you’re super-perceptive and more attuned to subtle changes in your environment than people who are blasé about the bugs. How so? It’s your attention to beauty and your appreciation of nuance that makes a tiny spider – which others might not even notice – stand out in all its creepiness to you. That ability to zero in on little details signals a talent that not only lets you notice exactly what’s going on around you, but also drives you to spot beauty and fashion trends almost before they happen. HEIGHTS – You’re a sensitive people-reader. A fear of heights suggests you have a hypersensitive nervous system. And while that sensitivity means you’re never going to be the first to volunteer to climb a ladder, it does mean you’re usually the first to notice what someone else is thinking or feeling. That’s because with a more sensitive nervous system comes greater intuition and heightened emotional awareness. SNAKES – You’re sharp and adaptable. A super-acute aversion to snakes, many of which are venomous enough to be truly dangerous, reveals you have sharp survival instincts that benefit you in ways that go beyond the great outdoors. Indeed, you’re adaptable and quick on your feet everywhere from the workplace jungle to the wilds of your personal life, ensuring you thrive in just about every environment. HORROR FILMS – You’re an energetic creator. If you get extra freaked out by fright-night flicks, then you likely have an extra strong stress response. The upshot? Higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol give you more energy and make you almost supernaturally good at multitasking. Plus, the vivid imagination that tends to run away with you when you watch a horror film means you have a keen creative side. GHOSTS – You’re a confident doer. If ghosts or similar paranormal phenomena give you the heebie-jeebies, chances are you’re self-assured and self-motivating. Why? Believing in something that others might dismiss as nonsense implies you have unshakable convictions; in other words, you stick to your guns, no matter what. And that includes believing in yourself and forging ahead in all circumstances – even when the chips are down. #mandyintheam #947KUMU
