Why are people afraid of flying?
Indeed, I love being up in the sky, in the day its better because you can look out the window, at night you can just see the lights. I sometimes feel sick, but only if im really hyper or excited. I usually take some bach rescue remedy pastilles with me when flying incase anybody sitting near me feels nervous or woozy. If you don't like the height, then don't sit by the window, take something to do to take your mind off the height and to pass the time. If you don't like flying, just imagine you are in a bus or car,and every little bump is just a bump in the road..good luck :)

How do you get rid of your fear of snakes?
Well you have to make sure the dog u are trying to overcome your fear of is nice and licks alot because licking is kissing and don't give it chocolate!!!!! and if your allergic to dogs i would recommend staying away from the dog. Just be yourself with a dog and treat it like a person trust me i have 2 dogs and in a couple of months im getting another one! my dogs are inside of the house right now snuggling with me. and all dogs are cute and awsome and nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( For most people)
im sorry but the answer above doesn't really help as i have a fear of dogs too.i would recommend that if a family member has a friendly dog, ask if you can go to their house and get used to being around that dog. pet it and try to get as close to it as you can. if you still are nervous around them, it might be good to buy a puppy as they are harmless and will be more frightened of you than you are of it; and as it grows you will be used to it.
