It is very hard not to stick your arms out when sailing over the bars.
Doing things that scare you

I'm job hunting at the moment, but really don't want to work anymore, so it's scary having to interview but also scary that eventually I'll get a job I don't actually want. Whole thing feels like a sham but there's no alternative.
It was all instinct that's for sure!

My contact is up at the end of the year,.no redundancy this time and I know what you mean, I could bat it out until retirement but will probably work again as long as it's not 5 full days , but yes sometimes I apply and am thankful when I don't get it .
I would say to anyone young on here sort that pension out and aim to have the choice at 50 latest

Am scared absoutley poohless of ferris wheels. Not heights, not flying not falling or being in a ferris wheel, if its moving its fine but if its stops my heart tries to beat out of my chest.
Mrs and kids were absoutly griefing me about being a wuss so got on the one on yarmouth seafront. Never ever again, think i almost broke all my fingers holding onto the thing when it stopped at the top.
Absolutely never again.

On my phone I have a message on the lock screen that says "get out of your comfort zone".
I don't really mind confrontation as I don't see it as that, I just see it as a polite request.
However, I've just handed my notice in at work, and have a few job opportunities ready but also potentially have something in KSA which would be quite a big change despite being familiar with that part of the world.
Jumping out of a plane was pretty wild... Still took me several hundred jumps to work out it was scary!
I tend to say yes to most things, at least once...
Actually one thing that still scary is competition in martial arts. Stepping either into a cage or the mats with people around and someone wanting to beat you up is a truly fight or flight feeling.

A colleague of mine is big into the UFC scene. Comes to work with injury's from sparring, surprised his nose has stayed intact. By his demeanor and appearance, you'd never guess.
Heights is a big one for me, used to jump off lock gates as a reckless teenager, soon packed in swimming in rivers when we saw an unwell dog who'd been happily swimming (this was in the nineties). I still hate heights, but I do believe nerves can be controlled by mindset.

That's often the way people who do martial arts are, humble, softly spoken and generally not aggressive. I'm speaking for myself a little, but also for the people I know.. The dickheads tend to be in the minority fortunately.
The only tell tales are gnarly fingers, cauliflower ear and as you say the occasional welt/black eye (which I'm currently sporting
)

Jumping out of a plane was amazing. It was strange. When I got up there I wasn't scared for some reason. I think it was the adrenaline/excitement.
Weirdest bit was falling forward. As it's super unnatural to basically face plant. Even knowing the ground isn't right there.
Amazing experience

Think I am too scared to fly now tbh , statistics don't work convincing me if I really really had to fly i would have to get totally hammered first , if I won a holiday to NZ ect I would just give it away
Not scary as such, but winking at someone you like, just incase they don't wink back
thats pretty scary
It's like going in to shake someones hand, then they totally ignore you and your hand accidently brushes past, and hits them in the side of them, making you look like a fool
