What scares you?

free2fly

Everyone has something that they are afraid of. For me it's the mucky bottom of a lake! Yuck! And things that go bump in the night, since I now live alone. What is it for you?

The bits of dirt and hair that are stuck under the legs of tables and chairs. I have a fear of being forced to eat it.

The self-destructive nature of human kind.

Sewing needles for some reason, I can't even pick one up without alot of psyching myself up first, I'm too terrified of either accidentally droping one into my mouth and it getting stuck in my throat or getting it wedged up underneath my finger nail, but the same doesn't apply for tum-tacs or pins or small thin nails or any other type of small thin needle, it has to be one that you can run a piece of thread through at the top....

Spiders, and rubbing cotton wool on my teeth.

admiralofthefleet

PlayGirl

injection needles and drips... and other peoples blood.... its something about taking things in or out of your veins i think... cant even watch people get injections on the tv.. hate it!!

humbert

Stinging insects, wasps, bees, if something starts buzzing around my head I'll leap away like I'd just seen a black widow on my hand. I'm not as bad as I used to be though. Poisonous spiders would creep me out but we don't have them

when you feel something under a table and find it's wet and gooey, bad vibes.

needles, blood, horror movies, death, earwigs, rats, eels (or the rocks they might be under), lobsters, electric shock, hacksaws, young fellas sitting at the back of the 77 smoking the gange, broken glass, Irish road safety ads, that mad fella who does autopsies on tv and cycling across the Luas lines.

I'm ok with sharks & spiders though!

Spiders..nothing needs that many eyes or legs, there's something about the way they move...all lurking and scuttling...up to no bloody good

Mrs_Doyle

I have a real fear of just living and never making any kind of difference to anyone, or anything. I'm afraid I'll miss my chance to do something big. I really don't want to just 'exist'.

Eh, yeah, so that's my little nugget of insecurity.:p

Oh my god! People think I'm crazy when I say I afraid of cotton wool. And for the same reason as you! I cant even go to the dentist without insisting at least 10 times that they must not put cotton wool in my mouth!

CathyMoran

Needles scared me...then I got diabetes, the same with cancer. With the first two they were not nearly as scary when I had to face them. What scares me now is something happening to my loved ones.

OMG how could I forget that I'm afraid of heights too? Went up into that chimney thingy in Smithfield once when it was windy! Never do that again!! :eek:

Cotton Wool, and Heights to a lesser extent

The Queen

Death, spiders... When you're asleep, and the next thing you're woken by the sound of a falling poster... It happened last night and gave me such a fright!!

I'd say my biggest fear then would be death by spider bites and paper cuts from the poster that has fallen.... While being dumped!


:eek:

just to be clear here, they're called thumb tacks as in you push them in with your thumb.

my name is commander vimes and i am a pedantaholic


i'm afraid of carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.

and drowning. i nearly drowned when i capsized in a kayak and it got forced on top of me by the water in a weir and pushed me against the bottom. i was drowning in about 2 feet of water.

its a horrible feeling thinking that in a minute or so you might have to stop holding your breath and let yourself die. luckily the kayak got free and i was able to get out

Pigman II

pillow pants

The feeling of helplessness. Being buried alive.

Spiders
Flying insects that sting, particularly wasps
Failure
Being alone for the rest of my life
Anything bad happening to my mum
The noise that's made when my flatmate pulls back the bolt on the bathroom door without pushing on the door first. It's like a gunshot.
Fire (specifically burning to death)
Being burgled.
Being attacked.

lynchpin

tomato ketchup - I get an awful slagging over this one. I just can't stand the stuff and shudder when its near me.

crabs - the 8 legs and claws variety. They freak me out no end.

LOL how could anyone be afraid of a clown?


Its not a fear just one of those things... ever rub the tooth-brush wrong on your tongue? Or give the toothbrush a bite, terrible feeling, I'd probably vomit.
