your biggest fears

[TosaInu]

Still spiders a bit, though some are fascinating, cute and adorable. Not sure where this comes from and I thus guess it's not a good idea to talk with a certified person about it. As far as I know, the most/only dangerous arachnids in Holland are lyme infected ticks.

Wasps, bees, and most of all hornets. I got stung really bad a few times as a kid, and now I do all I can to avoid being stung again. Only bees I can tolerate are carpenter bees because they have no stinger; I actually kinda like them.

Oh, and grubs... they're ****** gross to the point of being horrifying. The first time I ever saw one, my first thought was of a tiny alien creature crawling around, looking to drink some unsuspecting creature's blood.

Only one fear, FAILURE.

[KukriKhan]

Suffocation. And related to that: enclosed spaces. I was surprised a couple years ago, while crawling into a very tight space, that though my mind ordered me to continue, my body froze and refused to obey my command to "go on".

Rats. I don't so much fear them, as irrationally hate them. Perhaps because I grew up in a rat-infested neighborhood.

At this point I honestly don't consider things which make me experience fear as being "fears", rather it's the things that I am not even willing to admit that I am afraid of which I consider "fears".

It comes as quite a surprise when you get to a point where that stuff starts to unfold. It's unsettling in a way that you can't bare to look at it even when it's right in front of you every moment of your life.

I'm not afraid of normal stuff, like heights, deep water, spiders, that stuff doesnt faze me at all. I doubt im even that worried about that death if it ran up to me and bit me. (part of being young i suppose). no what i am afriad of is incapacitation, like blindness, being crippled, amputation, or paralyzation. Those frighten me more that anything else. I suppose when i get older ill change my feeling but until then thats what i fear

[Lemur]

Deathly afraid of being high up on anything man-made and rickety. Which is weird, 'cause I used to mountaineer all the time. But being up a 500-foot cliff never bothered me, 'cause I didn't think the mountain might have skimped on materials and workmanship.

Don't get long with biting or stinging insects, but I'm only afraid of them when they get on me while I'm asleep. Waking up to something that bites or stings, that sends my blood pressure into the stratosphere.

Well said, I agree.

[Hosakawa Tito]

My biggest fear is headaches. After going through that brain aneurysm ordeal a while back I never want to experience another.

I don't much like dentists either. When I was a kid our family dentist didn't use novacaine when filling our cavities. Getting your teeth drilled without it was pure torture. Subsequently I didn't go to any dentists as an adult for almost 30 years. I finally had to go due to a filling that had gone bad. I needed a partial bridge, and it was as painless as any procedure I have ever experienced. I still have that visceral distrust, but I go...grudgingly.

I have Apiphobia, self diagnosed. I have never been stung, but once I see a bee, I'm suddenly covered by irrational fear and paranoia. If there is one familly type I would gladly see exterminated and completely wiped off the face of the planet for all eternity would be bees, hornets and/or anything remotely connected with them. I don't care about honey. Don't even like it, so its a win-win situation for me.

Roaches
Mega size mosquitos
Mantis


In grade 8 music lesson, Mantis was hiding behind a guitar case.. She thought it would be funny if she jumps on my finger and cut me with her thing...

After a few swing, I managed to get her off.. Since then, I hate Mantis..

Theres always two mantis outside my Grandmas room. Hate walking passed that bit..

[Fragony]

Water, lots of it. If I have a bad dream it's usually about the sea going nuts, being being chased by something, usually a T-rex gwad these things are scary. That T-rex is a real party-pooper then can appear at any time in any dream. It's kinda awesome really.

[Togakure]

Wow Kurando, that is a heavy, insightful perspective.

I fear becoming homeless and alone without friends or family; mentally, physically, and spiritually broken; hungry, filthy, destitute and adrift in a sea of indifferent modern-day Americans, without purpose, noble or otherwise. Odd, as I'm pretty much a loner these days anyway--my friends are always on my case for being distant and often unresponsive to their e-mails and calls. My family claims I "push them away" all the time, though I honestly don't see myself doing that to any great degree. Self-fulfilling phobia? Ugh, let's hope not.

[Veho Nex]

Despite the fact that I don't believe in god or religion, Im very afraid that there is nothing after this.

And a more current fear, that like the #5 from above, I'll never find true love.

[Cute Wolf]

1. Lightning (run like crazy when it comes)
2. My girlfriend have a crush to another boy...

You point my biggest (and justified) fear with a needle there.
