What You Secretly Fear Most, According To Your Zodiac Sign
The stars know your deepest, darkest fears.
Eric Ward / Unsplash I'm the kind of person who has a lot of different fears: dying alone, getting my foot stuck in an escalator and falling backward, and losing control while driving on the freeway.
I don't like heights that much either.
Not everybody is as comfortable with their fears the way that I am.
They may try to deny them, and keep them secret from other people and themselves as well.
Our zodiac signs help to determine our personality traits and characteristics, and while you may not know your deepest, scariest fears, the zodiac does.
Each zodiac sign's biggest fear
Remember, if face your fears, you'll remove their power. If you have a fear of failure, remember that from that failure comes tremendous growth. Or if you hate confrontation, think about how great you'll feel once you've cleared the air.
