Top 5 Biggest Fears That People Have
What are some of the things that you worry about daily? Family? Money? Researchers at Chapman University in Southern California just released the results of a national survey. Here are the top five things we’re afraid of;
1. Walking alone at night. 20% of people said they feel “not safe at all” doing it.
2. Identity theft. 19.6% said they’re VERY afraid of it happening to them.
3. Lack of safety on the Internet. 11% of us feel unsafe when we’re online.
4. Mass shootings. 8.9% said they’re legitimately afraid they could be a victim.
5. Public speaking. 8.8% of us are “very afraid” of doing it.
The survey also asked what people WORRY about the most, which is slightly different;
For that question, the top five answers were: Identity theft . . . companies tracking our Internet activity . . . running out of money . . . the GOVERNMENT tracking Internet activity . . . and coming down with a serious illness.
