    snakes,scared ****less of them,god bless st. patrick

    Snakes are evil creatures.. :pac: -seriously - If someone would lock me in one room with any kind of snake, I would probably die from fear before it would come close to me... :(

    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!!

    Are you a black person? They must have some myths or legends about killer dogs i Africa or something, because 90% of them (specially woman and kids) just panic when they see dogs -they go around miles away or just stop and don't move. :pac: Anybody knows why?

    Wasps.
    I scream like a lil school girl if one flies near me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 RantingRichie


    Cancer. You can be brave about many things, but cancer takes all that away from you.

    It's a horrible, painful way to go.

    I try not to think about it.

    Going blind. The thought of it is just terrible. Imagine not being able to see anyone's face again or read a book without brail.

    I wear contact lenses but when I do wear my glasses I have a fear on sunny days of catching the sun at a certain angle and blinding myself with the rays of the sun. Irrational but yeah.

    Also have a fear of my house being burgled into. I would just feel so violated :(

    death, I think that's quite a normal real fear for someone who is not religious. If I think about it at all I have a bit of a freak-out, first time it started happening was after my grandad had died when I was about 7, my mother had to try calm me down, now I just block it out, If I let myself think about it for a minute I get the panic. I've no irrational fears though.

    I recently discovered I've developed a fear of heights even some that appear on TV, I don't know why, as I worked in consruction most of my working life and never had a this fear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,845 ✭✭✭py2006


    What a fearful bunch we have here in AH!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,029 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    I'm afraid of being locked in a small space. I think I'd crack up.

    Got that feeling on a plane to Barcelona one time and wasn't the better of it for a few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭OneArt


    Swans. They freak the f*ck out of me. I don't mind thinking about them or pictures but if I'm by a lake or I see swans in the distance I just started panicking. It also doesn't help that they can apparently break your arm with their necks.

    F*cking monsters.

    Fire (when I was a child two of my cousins died in a house fire and a third was left badly burned), cancer (had a scare 3 years ago when I found a lump in my breast but it turned out just to be a cyst thank god) and being raped.

    I've always been terrified of badgers, plus I suffer from vertigo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,036 ✭✭✭cocoshovel


    Spiders bigger than a €1 coin and other insects/bugs that are large. Especially Wasps, f**king scumbags of the animal kingdom.

    Extremely deep water that I cant see the bottom of, e.g Large rivers (River Suir in Waterford city terrifies me) & far out into the ocean. I will swim at the beach and go on boats or snorkling no bother but once I'm in the water where I cant see the bottom, Ill have a panic attack.

    Submerged objects in water I can't see the bottom of. Things like Buoys and the big dirty long chain that goes down for hundreds of feet into the pitch blackness just makes my stomach churn, even the thought of touching the top on the surface makes me feel uncomfortable. Other submerged items too, any large objects in deep murky water really.

    I cannot cope with false teeth.The last girlfriend dumped me and i still miss her if only because she has her own teeth and i'm at an age where the market is older and false teeth makes me feel ill.Heavy amounts of makeup too scare me i've tried closing my eyes but it does'nt work.

    Hate moths, Have to kill the bastards they always seem to go for my mouth or eyes, even in a room full of people its always me, Making me shatter my cool outer exterior with a girl like scream


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    Couldn't think of anything until I saw a few people mention Cnacer, and to be honest that s probably the one thing I'm truly scared of. It just seems like there is absolutely nothing you can do about it other than hope you never get it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I'm afraid of floating staircases. Or almost any of the staircases in this in fact.

    *puke puke puke puke puke*

    Also spiders, and cancer. And small spaces. And I hate strange people standing too close to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭lil'bug


    anything to do with eyes, i hate getting my eyes tested because of the puff of air


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 324 ✭✭nermal15

    So am i.There was an account i read of a man running with with the gaoler to the gallows.I thought.He had no imagination.The Crazy Courageous are like that.Post Death experiences are continually under serious investigation around the world in Universities/hospitals. Atheists could feel uneasy at the findings but do your own searching.I've forgotten addresses of sites but It's genuine.
