What do you fear?

[ToucanSpam]

What seriously frightens you? I'm not talking about scary movies or that junk, I mean what causes you to be emotionally disturbed and afraid for your life?

I think fear is an interesting emotion. Plus, i want to see what different kinds of people are araid of.


I am afraid of bugs. Any kind of bugs gives me serious shivers down my spine, especially spiders, praying mantii, wasps/bees, and those bugs that look like sticks. Just typing this gives me the shakes. Gross.

I'm also afraid of icebergs. :(

[Documad]

An older loved one going senile. And having to care for that person.

[ToucanSpam]

Sharks and other underwater Creatures.
When I was a kid, kelp wrapping around my feet made me scream in terror. I mean picture a kid absolutely sure they were going to die, screaming bloody murder. :(

[ms.peachy]

Flying. Which is so crap, because I so love traveling. So I do it. But I white-knuckle it the whole time.

I just bought this fear-of-flying hypnotherapy cd thing today and I'm supposed to listen to it like every day between now and my trip.

Plus I'm gonna hit my doctor up for some good drugs, I think.

Otherwise this 11-hour flight to Tokyo is gonna suck ass.

On a drive home from a west suburb of Chicago one night last Sunday I stopped at a rest stop to use the bathroom to change from a skirt into sweat pants. It was almost 1 AM and the rest stop was empty except a few rigs in the parking lot and maybe three cars in the lot. In the bathroom, at the end of the row of stalls, in the handicap stall, someone was there I could hear soe movement and sense their presence. I started changing and what have you but all I ever heard from the stall was some slight rustling and I thought any second that person (man or woman) was going to emerge and come towards the door to my stall with a knife or gun or something. I was terrified and got out as soon as possible.

[Documad]

I drive all over the state at strange hours -- usually super early in the morning. I HATE using rest stops before 8 a.m.

[Rock]

Swimming in the Ocean. Something about not being able to see whats under me, creeps me the fuck out.

Public restrooms give me the oogies too.

[redhead]

i have recurring nightmares of elevators...getting stuck, or them plummeting to earth from really high while i am in them...hate elevators. i really wish i could use the stairs at work, but they are alarmed...i would so walk up the 13 flights.

what suburb?

[wanton wench]

the only time i'm really scared is when my daughter is in danger. my heart starts beating real fast and i can feel the adrenaline rushing to every part of my body. every other fear of mine does not produce this reaction.

[Lindsey_1535]

THE DARK

THE DARK
I can beat all of that up but the dark.....the dark still scares me too

[CrankItUp!]

Seriously ? Blindness. If I absolutely had to, I'd choose loss of hearing or the ability to walk , before loss of eye sight . I honestly think that blind people are the most courageous and bravest out of all of us.

[AKAsharpchedda]

when i was younger i feared getting my hair and fingernails cut.

[Lindsey_1535]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH ME TOOOO!! Could be why I started chewing on my nails.

[like2_drink]

i hate the ocean

i don't get why anyone would go swimming if they didn't have to, it's totally unnecessary.

i'm not a huge fan of the dark either.

[CrankItUp!]

Scared of the dark ? Think about what blind people have to deal with.It is scary just to imagine.

[hardnox71]

Dying alone.

[enree erzweglle]

clowns
deep water

Lisle

Daddy long legs and dragon flys freak me out. Oh and baked beans. (n)

[zorra_chiflada]

being buried alive.
having surgery and waking up in the middle of it.

[cosmo105]

childbirth
spiders (i have nightmares regularly and wake up sweating and hyperventilating)
growing old
the thought that my ex might move back to LA
heights - low ones - like the top of the jungle gym
hippos

I am the same almost. It's weird though - first time I flew it was like a religious experience. I loved it so much. But barely six years later it fills me with some measure of dread. Funnily, I hate the home flight worse than the outward flight :confused:

I also hate flying at night. Somehow the thought of tumbling through a black void is scarier than watching the ground come up to meet me.

[cosmo105]

i used to love flying, but then i did it so often that i got to just sort of accept it begrudgingly. i do like airports though. they're little worlds of their own.

[beastieangel01]

I'm not scared of heights, but I'm scared of falling in itself. Even playing video games, if the character is on a platform and it's possible to fall of my knees get weak and I feel sick to my stomach.

[Dr Deaf]

i have a fear of success and complete happiness.

[Ferdinand_2]

Bats,Psychos,Death of someone,...

[bgirl1929]

open air hieghts (if I'm enclosed I'm ok)
a fire in my house
anything happening to my son (in particular abduction or some kind of molestation) I think I'm making him a little paranoid too

minton continuing to lock threads in the bb.com forum, so we can't stir the shit...

Being blind would be FU%$ED up. I agree those people are hell brave.

[beastiefan35]

I hate heights i get sick to my stomach and i get dizzy :(

[jeepgirl]

I'm afraid of what's gonna happen in 2012. I've read about a possible polar shift occurring.

[BionicEye]

I think we'll make it till at least 2014 at least.

[Mr_Complex]

I have an ungodly fear of Spiders, heights, being buried alive and falling.

[paul jones]

having to watch the Star Wars prequal films again

[TurdBerglar]

what's this being burried alive bullshit about. out of all the things that poeple have said in this thread that seems to be the thing most likely not to happen.

[cosmo105]

spiders, however, can and do happen

[Tone Capone]

Statues of people freak me out!!! :eek:

I don't really like flying and bad turbulence scares the ~bajebus~ outta me... I fly a lot though. :( (How else can I get back to Thailand GOSH!)

Snakes! :eek:

[QueenAdrock]

Nuclear War.


Oh, and, um, I'm not sure yet, but I think I'll be afraid of flying. I've never been.

[Tone Capone]

...and now that everyone mentions it, I AM a little afraid of childbirth :o

this made me think of Chas Tenenbaum. of The Royal Tenenbaums

ever since I broke my leg I can't stand looking at Ex-rays of my leg.

Waking up and not being able to move (When I was only sleeping like 1-2 hours a nite for about 6 months it happen
to me a few times it only lasted a few secs. but it freeked me out)
I also have a bad case of clostrofobia

getting sick or disabled in some way
crowds
public speaking

[Freebasser]

Fear itself

[adam_f]

I can't swim real well, so drowning would probably be likely if I got into deep water. I don't really feel like drowing. Getting strangled, fine. Drowning? Not so much.

[Lex Diamonds]

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair. And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.

[kezz]

im afraid of getting my fingers chopped of in a fan. or by something like iceskates.
