"Good afternoon."
"Sure...."
"How're you feeling today?"
"What's it matter?"
"I'd like to know."
"I'm tired, I guess...."
"You guess?"
"Yeah. I guess."
"Why have you come in today?"
"I have no clue. I don't even want to be here."
"You don't?"
"No. I don't."
"Are you afraid?"
".... Afraid?"
"Yes, afraid."
"Sure."
"Why are you so afraid?"
"Don't know. Just am."
"I'd like to know what scares you."
"Everything...."
"Why?"
"Don't know. Just does."
"That sounds very vague."
"But true."
"Why would you say everything scares you?"
"It just does...."
"It just does?"
"It just does."
"I see. Is there ant reason why it does?"
"Because...."
"Because?"
"Because... what if I mess up? What if something horrible happens and I can't do anything to fix it? What if I was completely capable of doing something to help, and I don't do anything? What if there's nothing I can do and somebody suffers because of me? What if I try to right the wrongs and I just make more wrongs? What if I try and try and try and it's never enough? What if the reason something fails is because I didn't do enough? What if I go to fix it, and I mess it up worse? What if, even after everything is said and done, and I want to make things right, and it never works out?"
"You're afraid of failure?"
"Like I said. I'm afraid of everything."
