Do you have any real fears?

Do you have any real fears?

Spiders?
Clowns?
Heights?
Road signs?

I don't think I have any real fears apart from maybe women! (They are really scary)

**Timbuk2**

Bananas - I can't be in the same room as one, make my family keep them separate from the other fruit, can't stand the smell and would never eat one (completely irrational, I don't know why!)

And wasps - slightly more rational - I hate them, and especially in late August as they seem to be much more plentiful!

Damn, I thought we might have got over 10 minutes before this came up :rolleyes:

I can't even think about maggots.
I can barely type the word.
They make me break out in sweats and feel like throwing up.

Then there's things like growing old, getting cancer, getting attacked, being too ill to finish college, failure, and so on.

I have a phobia of AH bans!!

Eh, not liking the taste of certain food doesn't mean you have a fear of them!

No it's more than a dislike, I can't even look at the things, or look at someone else eating them- i have to leave the room. I can only pick them up if I use kitchen towel.

I don't even want to discuss them anymore

Just feels like a lottery whether you get it or not considering the amount of "healthy-living" people I've known who've succumbed to it.

Being sent to prison for a crime i didnt commit. The frustration must be unbearable.

Sharks in swimming pools.
It makes my laps in the pool quite interesting, because I go swimming there 3-4 times a week.

Ironically I have gone diving off the Great Barrier Reef with sharks, and that didn't bother me in the slightest.
I think I saw some Bond movie when I was like 4 and it's freaked me out ever since.

I'm the same, can't abide even the smell of the damn things.

Sofa King Great

Paper cuts. Some would say it is a phobia and not a fear but in my case it's a fear. I get freaked out thinking about them, and when I nearly get one I feel faint. I'm a pussy. Ha

JENNYWREN19

spiders. I used to freeze in panic when I saw them, then start screaming. Unfortunately I have a large, love spiders nest in my back garden......

emeraldstar

Those freaky mimey-type people who cover themselves in paint and pretend to be statues, then invariably move with the intent purpose of freaking the **** out of you right when you walk past them. Hate them hate them hate them.

ILOVEMCLOVIN

Worms . I dont know why I just hate the b*sterds.

Bipolar Joe

I'm scared of heights because I get the near overwhelming impulse to jump. I'm scared of coincidences because that might mean that everything I think is right. I'm scared of being alone and I'm scared of people. I'm scared that one day I might be seen as a suspect in a murder or rape that I had nothing to do with and no one will believe me. I'm afraid of brain damage that will make me confused all the time and unable to know what's going on even more than I do now or that I'll become comatose but know everything that's happening around me and hear people speaking as they pull the plug because they think I'll never come out of it. I'm afraid that maybe the Devil does exist and I sold my soul to him by accident for something retarded and forgot about it or he wiped my memory and that when I die I might go to Hell. I'm afraid that every bad thing I've ever done will come back to bite me in the ass, all my lies and people that I hurt will find me. I'm afraid of dying without someone loving me or having someone I love in that same way die and then leaving me alone, and being burned because as unattractive as I am now at least I have no obvious physical scars so someone might want to be old with me, but if I do then that chance decreases even more, so I rarely leave my house or cook which also helps and aggravates my problems with people. I'm afraid of my own thoughts because some of them aren't nice and I worry that makes me a terrible person and even being aware that these thoughts make me a terrible person and not liking it doesn't help me morally. I'm afraid of sex and put it off for as long as possible in relationships because I'm terrible at it and then whoever I convinced to give me a try will laugh and I'll never see them again. I'm afraid that my Mom will find me and make everything difficult for me. I'm afraid of failing and being a failure so I stop trying and that makes my family pissy, but I'd rather have them think I'm lazy than a massive fuck up. I'm afraid that my hamster died because of me, or even worse that he actually WAS hibernating and I buried him alive.
















Also moths.

Princess Peach

Rape, so afraid of rape! And getting hit by a man.

Other than that, I kinda really don't. Don't mind spiders or rats or heights or anything.

Rats... ****ing rats

Water! Obviously this doesn't mean I never shower etc

Mr. Manager

I'm afraid of heights, spiders and things that I'm not in control of. Examples: Being a passenger in a car, on a train, plane etc

Also, death. It genuinely terrifies and I've lost sleep over it at times.


I'm a total wuss

Bridges over water,

have no problem with heights on there own and am a fairly good swimmer.

How ever combine the two..

When I was 5 my dad thought it would be funny to hold me over o'connell bridge by the ankle and pretend to drop me. So the fear may stem from there.

I've a truely horrible and irrational fear of needles, particularly blood tests, or those things that they put in your arm while you're in hospital.

I actually go weak at the knees thinking about them.

I hate them. Truely hate them.

I've had to spend some time in hospital recently, and been in and out for tests etc and each time is like torture. I was in for a week and had the thing in my arm for the whole time (was nil-by-mouth in case I needed surgery) so they had me on fluids. I didn't move my arm for the whole week in case the thing fell out and they had to put it back in.

The nurses practically had to hold me down so the phelbotomist could take blood.

Surprisingly I'm okay with vaccines!!

Turtyturd

The bits of roads that go under bridges...it's just freaky, it's supposed to be water.

starlit

Have a load of fears! Mainly afraid of heights, insects like spiders and wasps, falling/tripping, getting ill, whether people be talking about me behind my back, fear of what other people think of me, fear of the unknown! Fear taking risks sometimes but dont fear change I be scared but thrive on that fear. I Fear reptiles and some animals and some water creatures.

This happened to me too only it was in Cork. What the hell were they thinking??

Dentists.
Had a really bad experience about 15 years ago, have only been back to the dentist once since then because I was in so much pain. And even still that dentist had trouble with me, I was hyperventilating and started shaking so much he could barely do the procedure. When he finished I became hysterical and he couldn't let me out of his surgery for about half an hour as I had to go through the waiting room and he didn't want his other patients seeing me:eek:.

He told me there and then that he wouldn't be able to treat me again, that I would have to go to a specialist dentist that would knock me out. I need to go again, but I keep putting it off.

I also cannot stand sponge foam. It's the feel of it, it makes me break out in a sweat and start hand wringing if it's near me and I have to touch it. I usually have to lift it with something.

Acoshla

Jellyfish, clowns, and my greatest and most stupid fear is of the dark. 26 years old and it's getting worse if anything!

Can't believe nobody has said it yet! Here goes....ehem:

'There is nothing to fear but fear itself'

Spiders when they creep up on you. Dont really mind them as long as I know where they are. Not good with heights either or small spaces.
Heights isnt an irrational fear though. Its there for a good reason.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Being buried alive. Iv had horrible nightmares about this happening over the last few nights.

Kettle316

I'm absolutely irrationally terrified of dogs......no matter how big or small they may be!!

I totally avoid going anywhere near parks or fields were anyone might happen to be walking their dog...I've occasionally crossed to the other side of a road rather than walk to close to one of them!!

Even thinking about them now has me in a sweat ha ha ha!!

Temptamperu

Im afraid of moths, wasps and rats. Or that someday scientist will combine the three too make a super animal that can hunt from the sky scratch your eyes out and sting you all at the same time.

In fairness though I'd say it was funny. Could be where Muichael Jackson got the idea to do it to his child!

Bears

Sharks

Tigers

Lions

There seems to be a theme here .. big feckin teeth to eat me!!

I was living in Canada and was out one night having a smoke, cos nobody in Canada smokes! A large bear strolled along the road about 10 feet away from me and I look at him/her, he/she looks at me ... I carry on smoking he/she carries on walking...

Only when I go back in the house and I realise that there was a bear on the road very near me does the fear hit me... didn't go outside for ages after. I would make my friend drive right to the door to pick me up.

A tiger would eat me and it would hurt a lot.

A lion would eat me and it would hurt a lot.

A shark would eat me and it would hurt a lot.

I'm afraid of big (or barking narky) dogs also.
