I’m afraid of being afraid that I have too many fears of—

1) You taking me too seriously and — — 2) I’m afraid of people who act like they know it all because they probably do and I’ll never catch up to their jam-packed wealth of knowledge stuff. 3) I’m afraid of rich people’s neighborhoods where they don’t have trash cans visible from the street because that tells me there…
