What’s your biggest fear?

MsLecter

My biggest fear would probably get me into the records books.

Visiting a Dentist :-(

After numerous visits to the Dentist as a kid, I was left terrified and ultimately abandoned mid treatment.

Braces on nearly two decades

I have a tremendous fear of stamps.

Heights. Like I can’t even watch a video or play a game where there’s any. Head just goes.

I had to wear braces for ages as a kid, kept getting told I looked cute and no one would notice them. Then I got a belt like the rest and didn’t feel like a hipster before it was a thing

MRI’s. Had one 12 years ago and having never been claustrophobic before I was afterwards. Got goosebumps here & my breathing getting deeper & feeing nauseous as I’m typing this. I dread the future if I ever need one I will not be able to go into one.

Used to be dentists, had a chronic, a majorly chronic fear after having to deal with one absolutely terrible prîck of a violent dentist in my teens ...seeing a completely great guy now years later to sort out my gob..

Parents dying also, they have been unbelievable parents, like fairytale brilliant and best friends too, they won’t always be here... both in pretty good health and active but getting on...

Being out in the line up on my bodyboard and on a big day and a rogue triple over head line of 7 close out waves start breaking 50 yards in front of me, because at least 4 will get you, unless you can duck dive them all.

Or else you can just curl up and take one hell of a beating and paddle back to shore with your wetsuit ripped and your ego dented...

If the shark stole the key he wouldn’t have to break in... anyway, they are not as violent as made out, one won’t try and gill you.

Loss of personal independence. For example if I lost my sight or became a quadriplegic, I don't mean to be melodramatic but I'd probably kill myself (except I'd need assistance to even do that!) I couldn't live a life where I was so dependent on others for every little thing.

My greatest fear is that I may cease to be, before my pen has gleaned my teeming mind.

Vertigo. Heights by themselves are just uncomfortable... but vertigo, and that sensation of balance rolling backwards.. Ugh. Also the feeling of nothing or a thin floor underneath me... glass floors/elevators on tall buildings are such a horrible idea for someone like me. <shudders>

My grandfather wore braces for years too.

That was my grandmother's greatest fear.

Me also. I get terrible vertigo. It is like a visual hallucination in some ways, it is quite overpowering. Being in a car being forced to watch as I am driven down hairpin bends would be a quick way to kill me. I have had to experience such roads but I lie down in the back seat and cover my head with cushions and squeeze my eyes tight closed and mutter like a lunatic. Others being near heights makes me flinch and crouch down, my stomach turns at people being casual in high places.

But this year I have forced myself to do some heights. I have looked over very high ramparts, unbelievably walked (albeit cringingly) up a glass stair case, one whole floors worth, taken a stroll down a cliff road to a beach, and worst of all gone up in a glass -walled external lift that was 20 floors high. Mind you for that one I had my eyes tight shut, my head buried in my husbands armpit and his jacket almost wrung to a rag by the time the lift door opened. I overcame my fear many years ago too to walk in high mountains, but I still shudder when I think back on it. Must have been insane.

I have nightmares about high places. About being helpless on soaring ledges. Walking up endless stairs in skyscrapers that then start to sway and crumble revealing vertiginous drops. . It is a strangely powerful fear in some and I dont understand it, I wonder if there is an inner ear issue - I had it as a very small child, since as far back as I have memory, and còuld not go upstairs for many months when we moved from a cottage to a new 2 storey house when I was 6. It literally felt (feels!) like I was (am!) about to fall off the planet to go up high. Must have been thrown off a cliff for being a witch in a past life!

Potential-Monke

Spiders is my initial thought, have always hated the bastards. Like, who needs 8 legs and eyes? Cop on! The creator fcuking with us there!

But, to really think about it, I suppose my biggest fear is losing my eyesight, hearing, brain and use of my hands. If I have all them, i'll be content as I can still play games. But losing any of them would make me consider a long walk off a short cliff.

This is a weird one. Never had any sign of claustrophobia before and had an MRI 8 years ago no probs.Had one before Christmas and it was a nightmare.The guy had to slide me out a few times before it started.
I wonder have i developed claustrophobia now?
I hope not and i put it down to having a mountain of pints all weekend and the MRI being on the Monday.

I used to have a load of them and they were all very "me" focused and usually quite mundane really.

But since becoming a dad they all seem to have gone away. Now the only fear I can honestly say I have is failing as a parent - or living long enough to see my own children die or suffer significantly.

Anything else life can throw at me including pain - no longer seems a concern.

Yeah Vertigo is a strange puppy alright - I've been ok the last twelve months or so but it could come out of nowhere at times. I'd be sitting in the canteen at work and if it got too loud and all of a sudden the room is just lost to me. Horrifying notion that it's spinning even though you are perfectly still. And weird things could set it off; like a kid on the other side of the street bouncing a football as he walks, the repetitive thud thud noise, another one would be when you misjudge a step depth, like a pavement, you suddenly lose yourself and I'd have to sit down for a while and get myself together.

Went to the doctor who sent me to a physiotherapist as they believed it was a balance issue. Physiotherapist said the best approach was to tackle it head on, induce situations when attacks would occur so I started doing things that would normally trigger it, lifts, escalators, heights (albeit not massive heights) etc and it seemed to have worked, as I said been ok for the last twelve months or so
