[Oh look everyone, you've got a Fluttershy on your screen. She seems preoccupied with something but she looks at the feed with purpose.]

Um, hello, everypony.

I've been thinking sort of lately. And I was curious about something. If you care to answer...

[Her mumbling falls off into something only she can understand and she speaks up again after a moment.]

What sorts of things frighten you? Or make you nervous?

Like... Um, I'm afraid of talking to somepony new, and loud noises, and dragons, and storms... Oh gosh, storms. Or that somepony might not like me or make fun of me for something that I've done and--...

[Oh right.]

Oh... And how do you help get over those fears?

[A long, awkward pause--]

... Thank you very much for listening. I hope that somepony is interested in answering this. But you really don't have to. I promise.

Oh.

I used to be afraid of thunderstorms, too!

Used to be?

How did you fix it...?

Ah, getting over fears...?

[She considers it thoughtfully, but then just shrugs]

You kind of just get used to it, I guess! Though I think there are some things you can't really get over. I know there are things I haven't gotten over! I don't know if there's any way to get over fears... Not like a particular one, at least.

You don't think so at all?

So... You're just stuck with them forever?

Storms can be pretty frightening. The really bad ones.

To get over them? It might depend on the kind of thing you fear. Like for storms, just get your mind off of the weather. Distract yourself with something fun. Sometimes for other things-- like dragons, you might need to face it head on.

Distract myself...

[Nodding because that sounds like very good advice!]

And I've... Met dragons upclose but they still frighten me so badly...

[She even YELLED AT ONE.]

[Sorry people, but she'd rather not have her personal fears spread all over the network for everyone to hear. 8|]

We have some similarities, with the fear of people and being made fun of. I know the feeling too well, unfortunately.

[There is definitely no stuttering in her speech as she confesses this.]

I've got some minor fears, too, but the one thing I'm the most scared of is... fire.

[Keeping it on audio just for Hanako :)]

Fire can be very scary, though. It can do good things, but... I know how you feel because it can hurt others very badly too.

I get really nervous talking to people.

Is it the same as talking to ponies?

And I'm not sure how to get over it either. Sorry.

Oh, I think so. It's very hard to get over... Not everypony is very nice...

[Dirk's in his room. He's twirling a screwdriver around in his hand boredly, his chin in his other hand.]

You gain some perspective and trivialize the source of the fear - danger, primarily. Threat to mortality. It's pretty easy, actually.

... What does that mean, Dirk?

You've just gotta kick whatever you're afraid of in the face! Dropkick it! Believe me, I've seen it firsthand.

Oh, I don't want to hit it...! That would hurt it. [D8]

Dealing with fears is hard. I don't really know how to get over them, myself, but I hear that facing them is the best way. I think that might work for some things, but not for others though. Everyone is different after all.

[She shared her fears. It's only fair he offer up something, considering his previous comment was remarkably unhelpful.]

I'm scared of being hit in certain places. People I like deciding I'm not worth their time. A few things related to my health. Um. Not much else, really.

[Nodding as she listens but...]

Are you sick, Hisao?

You're afraid of talking to people?

Yes...

I just get uncomfortable. Like they're going to make fun of me...

I think...I'm afraid of not being able to help people when they need it.

It's kind of frightening to think that we can't help everypony. But we need to try our best and do it with lots of effort and kindness.

I don't think that's irrational of a fear.

I'm scared of ghosts, they give me the creeps. [She gives an exaggerated shiver.] Apart from that, I guess it's mostly stuff like losing the people I care about.

[She tilts her head a little.]

I worry about that too sometimes. Losing somepony.
