What is One of Idaho's Biggest Fears?

We all have fears. Some of them are due to traumatic events in life, some of them are from anxiety, and some of them are from the unknown. Whatever the reason, fears can sometimes consume people's lives and despite how tough many residents in Idaho are, they all have concerns as well. Some fears are faced daily, some are in a person's head, and others are fear of what could or could not happen in the future. There is one fear that consumes many Idahoans, and a decent amount of people in the Gem State let it consume them every day.

Being single can take a toll on people, and finding someone to spend time with or spend your life with can be stressful and cause anxiety. It is no surprise that one of the biggest fears in Idaho for many single people is ending up alone. A recent study by datingadvice.com revealed that two in five young Americans have anxiety when it comes to dating, and that is why they don't date at all. When asked, 47 percent of these young Americans blamed their anxiety on being single, but only 55 percent of them have been clinically diagnosed for their anxiety. When asked, only 15 percent admitted they confessed their anxiety on a first date, and one in four prefer to date someone else who also has anxiety.
