My Venus by EeanBlack My Worst Fear Writing Contest contest entry |

My Venus
As fears go, I have many, the fear of dying, the fear of drowning, the fear of tiny places, the fear of the dark. All these fears are genuine and yes, I am a neurotic nightmare, but the most destabilizing fear for me is the face of a fabulously beautiful woman. I suffer from venustraphobia, that is the fear of beautiful women.
Dating was a nightmare. The anxiety, the sweat, the showers were just a normal part of my process. Avoiding eye contact was a crucial tool in my social survival kit. Distancing became the easiest, the loneliest, the one I still use today. I thank God for the internet. It has afforded me a platform to simply converse with people without them knowing I am a social misfit. I have accepted this role and this fear lives on. Oh to be desensitized by a bevy of beauties. Of course, then I would surely die. The truth be known, haven't I already. Cursed Fear and beloved friend. I will surely miss you.
