Top 5 of Woman’s Fears
We all have our phobias. Some are scared of snakes and spiders, some of water and heights, some run away from relationships and the list can go on and on and on. Interesting fact – women and men have different phobias. More than that - women can be afraid of things which make men excited and vice versa. Today we at The Colors Magazine will look at top – 5 of women’s fears.
#1 Fear of Unplanned Pregnancy
Weird enough, a woman whose greatest purpose is to be a mother, is afraid to get pregnant when it does not fit into her life schedule. What it depends upon, is tough to say, maybe we so want everything in life to be perfect that when things change their course accidentally it scares us.
Or maybe we are afraid we won’t be able to raise the child the best way when it comes unplanned.
Or maybe we are not sure if that’s the child from that one man we want to have a child with.
Or maybe we are not sure if the man would stay with us if we come to him with “Honey, we will have a baby soon.”
Or maybe… Anyways I could go with maybe’s forever but I don’t know the answers. And maybe I never will.
It does not mean though if we freak out getting pregnant unexpectedly that we will be bad mothers. Because that’s not the fear of being a mother after all.
How to deal with that: Smart people use contraception. You only got to be sure, you are a smart one.
#2 Fear of Losing a Man
When I say a man I surely mean THE MAN. We spend a lot of our precious time searching for the right one… And then when found we spend the rest of our life fearing that he might leave us. Sometimes he does, so the fear is justified.
How to deal with that: Love yourself. He will love you too. I am not a relationships guru. Not even trying it, but I truly believe that if you are confident in yourself and your feelings he won’t leave you. Unless there is no love. But then he wouldn’t be the right one, would he?
#3 Fear of not Being Beautiful Enough or Losing Attractiveness
Ok, that’s quite close to the fear of getting old and the fear of losing a man. There are not many women who truly believe they look beautiful, but even they are afraid of the old age and losing their attractiveness. Hence special cosmetics, plastics surgeries etc etc etc. The fear does not disappear though, but plastic surgery industry sure profits.
How to deal with that: Healthy life style, positive emotions, loving people. Be happy, look beautiful.
#4 Fear of Getting Fat
If you check any magazine they all will tell you how to lose weight, which diet to implement and why you have to be slim. Of course being slim is healthy, but in the crazy run for being slimmer and slimmer, trying to fit into standards dictated by the society, media and Hollywood industry, many women lose themselves and never achieve the desired.
How to deal with that: Define the problem, consult the specialists, follow the instructions. Accept yourself the way you are and if someone does not, tell them to go to hell. Trust me, it will make you happier.
#5 Fear for Children
Since the moment a woman holds her little treasure in her arms till the end of her life she will not stop worrying. Health, education, hobbies, friends, leaving kids alone, first job, letting them live their adult life, etc etc etc. No matter how old the “Child” is the mother will always fear that something might go wrong.
How to deal with that: Tough if not impossible. Try to use your logic and fight the fears. Tell yourself you were a child too and everything went fine, same will be with your kids too. Believe in the best and stay positive. Don’t overstress about small issues but don’t ignore the big ones. A good mother will never stop worrying but can control her own fears.
Psychiatrists say having fears is normal, it’s when you don’t have them you should start worrying. So a little bit of scaring yourself might even be good for you.

I, too, as a woman have many fears, except No. 1 and 5, and the rest? They are fears that may or almost kill me.

1, 4 and 5 its all me. 1 is not that bad anymore, 4 I recall once my mom said to my aunt, Anna has potential to be fat, and I think she is still waiting for me to be, sad but true. Most of all 5 is the worst one for me, I know I shouldn’t but I worry about Matthew all the time, even though he is healthy beautiful child. Thanks for excellent post Lena. Anna

might be, men dont share their fears with women, so i dont know

Very true! It’s important to come to terms with yourself….I had all these insecurities during my 20’s and when I was single….at that time, I was still coming to peace with myself….now that I have (not 100% but way better than before), all this doesnt bother me as much.
Children (having them and/or raising them) is still a huge insecurity….but I think I will be ready for the challenge when time comes….
Good article!
