Jean-Paul Boivin has only one phobia. I'm not sure what the actual word is, but he is afraid of dying alone. Jean-Paul has lived his entire life surrounded by others. The thought of dying alone with no one who would care, that sends him shivers down his spine. Jean-Paul avoids this scenario by being a positive person to be around. He also always wants to be around someone. Don't get me wrong, he has moments he wants to be alone, just most of the time, he likes to have people around. Now doing something out of fear may cheapen the relationship to some people, but Jean-Paul isn't overly conscious of the situation. It started when he was around eight. His granfather was found dead in his home. He had passed days prior, but the grandfather had alienated himself. The remarks his father made afterwards always stuck with him. To answer the later questions, Jean-Paul has never had to die, so he has never confronted the fear. He'll probably work through it in his 30s.
