In a new survey of 3,000 only 3% of people claimed to be literally FEARLESS, meaning that 97% of people are spooked by something. They gave people a list of common fears, and asked them to rate their discomfort level.
The #1 fear is DEATH.
The #2 fear is HEIGHTS.
The #3 fear is SNAKES.
The #4 fear is a tie between PUBLIC SPEAKING and ENCLOSED SPACES.
The #6 fear is a tie between FAILURE and SPIDERS.
Interestingly, GHOSTS AND SPIRITS were also an option.
For what it’s worth, people were asked if they’d be willing to “face their biggest fear for 24 hours in exchange for $1,000.” 24% of people were willing to embrace their fears for the cash, 33% would only do it if they were guaranteed safety, 27% flat-out declined, and 16% said they needed to think it over. where do you stand on this subject
