    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others




    Oh wait.... you asked what's my biggest fear?

    Heights

    Talking to people I don't know, I'm always afraid they might attack or verbally abuse me. Which is why I can come across as terribly shy.

    Being sent to prison for a crime i didnt commit. I couldnt imagine what its like to spend day after day locked up for something you didnt do and of course everyone in prison is "innocent" and nobody would believe you. What a horrible feeling it must be.

    Alien abduction. I remember there was a story in the papers once of a woman that claimed she was abducted by aliens on a certain stretch of road.... she said she 'lost time'. weeks later I was a passenger in a car driving that stretch of road. I just stared at my watch and did not take my eyes off it.

    Would like to say I was a kid, but i wasn't. I was 18. Cringe!!!!

    Don't EVER watch the fourth kind.. ahhhhh! scariest alien movie EVER ! :O

    Alzheimers and/or having to spend my last years in a nursing home

    Getting Alzheimers after seeing my Grandfather get it because it rips the fúcking soul out of the people that you care about most.

    Having some sort of bug lay eggs inside me. It absolutely freaks me out. I'm sure many have seen the picture of yer one with the larvae in her tit. Yuk!

    Something bad happening to one of my kids
    Getting cancer
    Going deaf or blind
    Having a really bad accident and ending up totally dependant
    Used to be afraid of dying till my Dad died, now it doesn't bother me. Just hope I end up wherever he is :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65 ✭✭Sin_J


    Mine is weirdly specific.

    Standing next to large boats/ships in a drydock. No problem if they are in water, but if they are out of the water just being propped up to be repaired, it freaks me out.

    Not little fishing boats or anything, just the really big stuff. Used to freak me out when i was younger walking the pier at houth and passing the yard where some of the trawlers used to be drydocked for repairs.


    oh and getting my teeth knocked out.

    Paralysis in its various forms. I have absolutely no fear of dying but being paralyzed and helpless would be my biggest fear
