Fear Period

My new cube mate is going through a "fear period." This means she is afraid of most sounds and sudden movements. When she's here in Cube City, she appears to be fearful of most cube dwellers too, or at least very cautious when she first approaches them.

I don't think any of this makes her a freak. I think this makes her smart and normal. The thing is, most young pups like her tend to grow out of their fear periods. I don't think the same can be said for the rest of us.

I would agree -- most people here are far from "puppyhood" and still jump ten feet if they experience and unexpected sound or movement. I like to think I fluctuate between healthy paranoia and unfounded bliss. :)
