Do you have any fears?

Undercoverguy

I got into a discussion on-air tonight about fears and it suprised me how many people are afraid of the weirdest things. Even mine is kinda weird.
If i get up during the night i'm terrifed to look in a mirror in while its dark!
(I'll expect many a childish joke about this - "In case ya see yourself!")
The reason is that im afraid i'll see something move or someone behind me, that would well freak my out. So if i get up during the night i make sure i dont look in a mirror.... Sad i know but hey at least i have a reason lol So see there is method to my madness! What about you guys?

What are you afraid of? (Spiders/Mice and Stuff dont count proper intresting stuff)

Irishstabber

The computer 'room' is downstairs off from the downstairs hall...to the left is the front door and the right is the kitchen with a window in direct alignment to the hall I walk into...I am scared sh**less to look out that window incase I see something.(in the night time off course). I always remember the scene from Signs were the alien walks by the window

My big toe scares me

qz

To the OP I share your fear about mirrors at night

And spiders too. Little cnuts.

Ro: maaan!

Ever since i was a kid my ma used to tell me NEVER to look out the window if i heard a wailing noise because it was a banshee and if you were to look a banshee in the face it meant there was a death in the family,she swore blind to me she seen one in the 1960's and 3 months later her slightly older sister died(she was only 42 and in relatively good health) so ever since then ive taken notice of what she's said,people might say it's an old wives tale but i truly believe there is such a thing (ive heard so many stories about this) and no way on earth would i ever attempt to look out the window at nite if i heard what i thought was a banshee..i must stress im perfectly sober (and sane i may add) in case people think im takling the pi ss here

Pighead

All those new fancy words I keep seeing on boards like blog,troll,atari jaguar and shut the hell up Pighead scare the crap out of me.
This smiley is a bit un-nerving as well. :eek:

At this moment in time im scared of Irishstabbers name!.I suppose I tend to have many fears,but when kids play on stairs I always seem to have this picture in head that one or two will fall and I always picture the worst for some reason.

Be-aware kids put years on you.

Thunder storms still scare the crap out of me. My heart beats a little faster and I get nervous. I know there's little chance of being struck by lightning (or is there?) but they still get to me. Suppose it's sort of a primal fear or something....

Nightwish

i'm afraid of feet, walking over bridges, most of the continent of asia, lifts, excessive body hair, farms, travelling by boat...
...driving, dublin traffic-esp being a pedestrian in Dublin, dead fish, clowns...

the_syco

When I was small, dogs used to terrify me. Barking in my face, etc. Esp when I was coming home from school, a few dogs would circle me, barking.

Now, tho, me's big, so me has a "bring it on" / "make my day" attitude towards them. If one to close, I will kick it. The days of fearing them are over.

Fear is natural, everyone's afraid of something. You just need to conquer your fear.

astec123

No real fears as such but when something bad goes wrong I alway thing about the worst that can happen.

Dreamcatcher

Bumblebees.
I hate flies in general, but the bumblebee is king! I leave all windows in the house open in summer, and yesterday, I was in the sitting room on my laptop, and this HUGE f**cker enters the living room - I jumped out of my skin! I tripped over the cable for the PC and bruised myself, and managed to make it to the door and slammed it behind me. Luckily, he found his own way out!!

*Angel*

Spiders scare me so much it's horrible.

Other than that I (this is gonna sound weird) have a fear of being afraid, and that I'll have no control of my actions because of this.

nah. you're just a pussy

my main fear... that any children i may have in the future will have a high likelyhood of developing cancer (cancer runs rife in the male side of my family)

Piste

I used be terrified of fire. It started after I saw 'All Dogs Go to heaven' when I was about 3. I then began to associate Heaven with fire.....my Granny found this some what theologically confusing for some reason.....

I used to be scared sh1tless of the dark...slept with the door open and the hall light on. And when turning off my bedroom light, i always thought that "creatures" came alive during the darkness, so i had to do a running jump to my bed! They always came from under my bed, even though its one of those beds without any space under it... And if all of my skin wasnt covered by my covers, they'd eat that skin :eek:

*Angel*

^^^ a traumatized child no doubt...

scuba steve

Birds flyin over me incase they sh*te on ya. Very scary . . . and pencils. Im terrified of pencils, they're evil I tells ya!

dlofnep

I'm afraid of flying, the dark, to sun growing into a giant and burning the earth to oblivion, spiders, wasps, lions, tigers, bears, cheetahs, angry dogs, little dogs, wolfs, zebras, giraffes, angry elephants, 32'000 gazelles, velociraptors, t-rex, bleach and words that rhyme with fred.

It's amazing what people tell you when you're young and you go on to still believing it when older.

My Dad told us about the Banshee when younger and how he (or someone) saw one ontop of a house, brushing her hair and when he wnet into the house someone had died. Scared the bejaysus outta us.

If I ever see a comb on the ground, to this day I think its a Banshee's comb and have to cross the road!!

My phobia is Thunder and Lightning. You may laugh, but I think it's just as stupid to be afraid of little spiders, heights or the dark!!

Apparently when you are born you only have two fears - of falling and loud noises..

Einstein

wouldn't be a big fan of the dark. Especially if I'm walking through somewhere where there's no public lighting, always feel like there's someone behind!

Also afraid of my great granny's house. She's dead 20 years, but every time I walk into her house I get dizzy...

Pyr0

I'm afraid to fly after seeing the film "Final Destination".This one time I was In science class and I read something about the Earth being half way through It's life span. and for two weeks after that I was terrifyed the sun would explode. :eek:

seamus

Getting up in the middle of the night to investigate a strange noise.

That's the only thing I can think about that actually, specifically scares me. Other than that, I'm not afraid of anything*

That's not to say, I don't feel fear

toiletduck

rats, i fu(king hate them

joejoem

flip flops even to look at someone wearing them, aghhhh I cant handle it when I see someone running in them!

Lola123

knives. I hate knives. Why do ppl make gestures while holding knives and other sharp implements??????? WHY!!!!

Also afraid of the sea and sharks. Mainly because I believe all those shark movies.
Hate being on a boat in the sea and not being able to see land. FREAKY!!!!

Muff Master

Im afraid that i will wake up and all my teeth will be missing..

OMG, im going to hide under my desk!! :O :O

Fast_Mover

i hate when im home alone at night and hear noises...i afraid that someones out there....

i hate when im home alone at night and the electricity goes outs...(happened2me last thursday)..was ****ting bricks! thought someone cut the electricity and was coming in for me..grabbed my phone and had my brothers number ready to ring incase i needed help...electricity came back on 5minutes later...thank god!

im scared of the dark and when i have to get something from the car outside...i always have to leg to the car and back into the house...afraid someones on the road and gona come in and grab me.

and no....i do not have a fear of people...lol
these are scary especially when u love in the country like i do i tell ya!

amazingemmet

I'm scared of falling has to do with what i do for a living, circus performer, sometimes i'm maybe 50ft without safety lines up doing my act and my grip freezes hen i think of falling

Piste

I hate, absolutely HATE heights. On a school trip to Bunratty Castle, my friend was leaning out over one of the crenellations and I almost had a heart attack.

I has a dream a while back that my friends and I were standing on top of the spire (the spire had a circular, flat top) and that there were no safety rails around it. In my dream I clung to the floor, screaming and wouldn't move. It was horrible

Baffled

DEATH.

Well not so much death itself, but dying young and leaving behind sooo many loved ones.

Oh yea, why are people afraid of the dark? I actually love night time and all it brings (darkness, silence, strange noises, etc...)

Fast_Mover

actually now that u mentioned it i am so scared of death....scary to think i could die at anytime and then where will i go (if anywhere) after....suppose death is another thread...

Piste

I'm not scared of death at all. What I am scared of is someone close to me dying and how awful my life would be without them.

Get one of those meshes they use in desert countries. Window stays open, and flies stay out.

Its worth looking into it, to see is it carried by the males, or females, or both. Example, certain gene's only pass on through the female side of the family, and only effects males. So you may be lucky.

disillusioned

I'm just relieved to see that I'm not alone (yet).

There are three things that scare me.....

First on the list - seagulls - they're so loud and big and bold and could do so much damage (yes I had a bad experience as a child).

Second there's the oh so logical fear of someone popping out of a dark corner during the night to kill me - can't sleep if the wardrobe door's open!

Third and most serious is.........wasps. I hate the fu*kers; I'm the type who would leave my most prized posession behind if a wasp came along and I had to run. :eek: :eek:

Its funny I was nearly killed as a child by wasps when I stood on a hive but I have no fear of them, but when ever I see them I have to kill them. I will chase them all around, even in work.

Dr. Loon

I fear big filthy spiders. Badly.
I also fear a lunatic breaking into my house during the night. I used to keep an axe beside the bed for the first while after moving in. Then a hammer. I've now chilled out a bit about it, and just keep a pint glass, so I can glass the lunatic if needs be.

Actually, now that I think of it, I think I'll get the hammer again.
