Im with ya on the needles, HATE the things...
spiders (I once had a nightmare that I was in a pool underwater, and the surface of the water was LOADED with spiders of all types/sizes. I didnt want to come up for air....)
heights (Im not exactly a thrill seeker, keep my feet on terra firma thank you!)

oh and Monkey boy in the Oval Office. THAT scares me plenty. :distress:

I gave my beloved Scottie MiMi the Sheep injections daily and an bag or so of lactated ringers every other day or so for like three years. So needles do not bother me that much. An IV on me is initially horrifying, but I get over it quickly.

The thing that terrifies me mostly and thankfully not that often anymore is going to sleep. When I was a kid, I just would not sleep. I am mostly past it. But, after seeing that horrifying bunny in Donnie Darko, I may not sleep for fear of awakening and it or something more horrifying being in the room.

I am scared of:

The depth of my grief when my mother dies

Flying

Deep Water

Being buried alive

Moths and any bugs larger than ladybugs.

Being found dead in an embarrassing position. For example, falling off the toilet after having died of a heart attack :o

Natural Disasters

Terrorists

Rent increases

Not being able to eat any of my favorite foods anymore due to peri-menopause and a slow metabolism. :mad:

Needles make me cry. I don't like the idea of someone having control over me by sticking a sharp object into my person. Get a needle near me and I'll knock you out.

Me, too. Or being found wearing dirty underwear, that scares me. When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me to change my undies every day because if I ever got into some sort of accident and had to go to the hospital, they'd be disgusted if my underwear was dirty. Besides for sanitary reasons, that's a big part of why I change my underwear.

. . . Flying . . . .

Me too, but I do it almost weekly - so I just have to get over it :laugh:

Also, whenever I hear this question of what I fear, I always think of Aragorn asking Eomer in LOTR:

"All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death."

"What do you fear, lady?" he asked.

"A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire."

Then Aragorn brilliantly says with white hot passion burning in his eyes and though he loves a half she-elf:

"You're the daughter of kings. A shield maiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate."

I almost fainted in the movie theatre when I saw/felt that scene :laugh:

I tried watching Gacy's episode of Biography once and had nightmares. I can take Richard Speck, I can take Charlie Manson, and I can take Jim Jones...but I cannot take Gacy and it's because of those clown pics. That one of him holding balloons is seared into my brain for eternity.

And I just heard a loud noise outside my office window that scared the **** out of me. The clowns are coming now, I just know it.

what was that movie with keiffer sutherland where sandra bullock was his girlfriend and she was kidnapped and never found?

I don't understand why people don't like clowns. .

Because they have large, deathly white faces with HUGE red mouths painted all "happy," and their teeth and the whites of their eyes get very yellow in contrast. They have enormous feet and ugly shoes. Their clothing is ridiculous. It's like a walking one person Issac Mizrahi show. :D

scares me, but I would never want to "die" (Or did he???) alone in the same manner that the character Johnny did in Dalton Trumbo's "Johnny Got His Gun"....Being trapped in your own body with no way to communicate at all is something that probably would scare me though, After seeing that movie I became a hard believer in signing a DNR form (Do Not Resuscitate) if i ever have surgery.

Brilliant movie (If you can find it...Remember Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted by Hollyweird.) that was brought to light in thanks to Metallica's song "One".

It's been pretty clean for awhile, now. And, uh, having certain things left out, and then dying.
Other things I'm scared of are just normal...

**Also don't like wormy things that turn into moths, creepy crawly stuff with weird legs i.e. spiders, walking sticks, gypsy moths -yuck
**with everyone else on clowns- go away!
**ebola- haven't heard about that one in awhile but a virus that we can't control that kills millions of people, like bird flu, AIDS, -spooky stuff
** nuclear anything...don't understand the science, but the possibilities are beyond frightning...
That's about it for me...

The question for Hillary is "What are you not afraid of?" There is a good reason why I don't watch scary movies.

I'm afraid of almost anything you can think of, with some exceptions. I'm not afraid of bees, but I am afraid of wasps. I will run screaming into the night if a wasp comes around me. I am not afraid of spiders. I'm quite fond of them. I LOVE snakes. I could never be afraid of them, unless a venomous one sneaked up behind me. In general, I'm not afraid of animals, including arthropods, with the exception of wasps.

Oh, and I hate walking sticks. They all need to go to hell. But I'm not afraid of them.

I'm afraid of pretty much everything else conceivable.

These people tend to scare (or just aggravate) the crap out of me-

The Boogeyman (I still get scared when I'm alone in the house. The basement is my main issue.)

I'm not really scared of the boogeyman per se....but I am scared of being alone. When my husband leaves for a weekend (which is rare, so this may be why..ppl who are used to being by themselves I don't think get this way as much) I lock my bedroom door. I've even been known to put a chair under the knob. I'm terrified of someone breaking in. I have two dogs that are barkers to the core. I'm scared of someone breaking in and having to decide what I am going to do with them. Am I going to hide in the closet with them and risk the intruder hearing them bark..(ha..risk it? It's a certainty LOL) or leave them out and have to listen to them get killed. I guess it's the same (or similar) to having a child and them crying. You can tell I've given this some thought from time to time! It's been an ongoing dilemma that terrifies me and I hope I'm never in that position....but it's makes me nauseous thinking about it.

I can handle shots in my mouth (the dentist) but not anywhere else

I'm just the opposite. I don't like shots, by any means, but I can tolerate them... except in my mouth! I freak out! I had braces as a kid, and my baby teeth weren't falling out fast enough. So they had to pull 8 teeth over two appointments. The first appointment, they pulled 5. They gave me 2 shots for every tooth, and it hurt like hell! When it was over and we were getting ready to leave, my mom and the nurse noticed I was white as a sheet. They made me sit down and put my head between my knees because I apparently was ready to pass out! Ever since then, I freak out at the thought of shots in my mouth.

Other things I'm afraid of:
heights
roller coasters (partly the height, and partly because I can't stand feeling like I'm falling)
public speaking (terrified of it!)
rodents, particularlly rats (I actually have nightmares on a regular basis about rats chasing me and crawling on me! :eek: )

BUT..I was terrified of being operated on and being conscious, but not being able to move or tell them I could feel everything. Yeah..I've heard the stories. Why do people tell you this crap right before you go under the knife?? haha

No one else has a problem w/ the Ring chick huh? WTF? AM I just that old a fart now? I totally grew up on horror films, LOVE them, but that one...me no likey. Actually I DO love the movie. It's a great story. Hell of a ghost story, but just the choppy shots, etc. Yikes.

Spiders, what a funny thing. SO many people fear them. What is it about them? And when it comes to snakes, I'd see the reason behind that more so, as they are so popular within the bible/religion and in fairy tales. I can only think of maybe 2 spider instances (and those are kiddie fairy tales. Little Miss M & C's web...but neither are really scary)...so what gives?

Pretty much any bug, but especially Wasps Hornets, stuff like that. Any wild amusement park ride, Roller Coasters, ETC.

LOL. and I just have a size 6. I'm not really afraid of them, but the thought of going to bed at night and having them crawl all over me isn't something I'm just itching to have happen....

You are lying in bed, all warm and snuggly in your jama's with the covers on, reading a GREAT spooky novel when you look up and there, right above you, is a spider crawling on the ceiling :eek: :eek: :eek:

Can't move...I just know it is going to fall on my face while I am asleep :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Must get up and stand on bed and squish-squish him...
and then now...it's going to rain.

LOL reminds me of a dream I had.
first-background info..I walk and talk in my sleep
anywho...now that you're caught up... :lol:
one night my husband got up to use the bathroom. he closed the door so the light wouldn't wake me up (it's in the bedroom.....well not IN the bedroom..you know what I mean..haha) and I yelled at the top of my lungs "HOLY F*CKING SH*T"..my husband came running in there-boxers half-way down his legs..."what?! what?!!"
I said "there was a big a$$ spider crawling up the wall...THIIIISS BIIIG"
He flipped on the light.."michelle..there is no spider there...!! go back to sleep"
me-"o.k." *lays back down..passes out and starts snoring again*
or so they tell me this is how it happened..I don't remember :lol:

I'm afraid of very little....but there are some possible things that horrify me to the core of my being.

Death by drowning
Death by burning
Death by spiders
Death by being burried alive
Death by dicing/slicing/stabbing/chopping

Those are the things that truly scare me.

I love bees, though I am allergic. I like to watch the honeybees in my garden. They're quite passive, really, as they buzz around collecting nectar and pollen. I can put my face right up to the flowers and watch them, and they don't even seem to notice me there. On the other hand, paper wasps and hornets are mean, and I am not too fond of them. I won't kill them, but I sure do get the hell out of they're way!

I am also afraid of horses-- and actually any animal larger than myself. I admire Goldie Hawn and her travels to study elephants because I love them, but I could never get near them. I'd have to be a mile away, in a tank. :shocked:

I have overwhelming tendencies towards agoraphobia... so, you know, 'nuff said about my crazy head. :laugh:

As for other stuff.... spiders, snakes, clowns, etc.... none of those things bother me at all. Go figure.

boats
water
snakes
clowns
sharks
lizards
slugs
bridges
broken bones
losing everything; basically, becoming a bum (house, money, car and ending up on some horrible HBO special)
unknowingly breaking the law and getting caught
intentionally breaking the law and getting caught
hydroplaning on the interstate
being spied on
looking out the window only to see a pair of eyes staring back
losing the people I love the most
losing the ability to take care of myself
losing all the songs in my iPod library
losing all the pictures in my photo library

Needles!! Another one for that list. Not to the point of crying, but I can not watch it.
Ending up with no money, no job, no house etc. no means to take care of myself.
Getting a 'big one', a grand mal epilepsy seizure. Sometimes it felt like I was about to have one, but fortunately it never got beyond the partial seizures.
Losing friends/family. I don't mind dying myself, but if my mother would die, I don't know what I'd do.
Rape.
Spiders. Just the big ones ;)
Hm, and some 'social' fears, I should admit. Speaking in public, stuff like that.

Oh, that Dutch movie you're talking about is called Spoorloos (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096163/).

I have some pretty weird fears. Tight constrictive clothing freaks me out. Especially gloves. I'm always afraid I won't be able to get out of them. I hate clowns too. Cockroaches scare the hell out of me. I'd rather deal with spiders than roaches.

No one else has a problem w/ the Ring chick huh? WTF? AM I just that old a fart now? I totally grew up on horror films, LOVE them, but that one...me no likey. Actually I DO love the movie. It's a great story. Hell of a ghost story, but just the choppy shots, etc. Yikes.

The first time I saw The Ring in the cinema I sat there with my hands covering my face half the time! I forced myself to go back and watch it properly. I love the movie but the faces on the dead people freaked me right out.

What was worse was I saw the Japanese version first and happened to be sitting right near the tv when the girl came out of it in the movie. I almost had a heart attack then and there! :laugh:

I love horror movies but what scares me is afterwards when I'm outside alone at night. I have a vivid imagination and am always checking over my shoulder to make sure there are no zombies ambling (or running!) after me. Theyre the worst! :shocked:

I don't really know why I'm commenting on an 11 year old thread, but it's still open so its OK to do, right? Also, don't some of you 'Senior Ledgies' like reliving old threads? :p

Anyway, I think the thing that scares me most is.... death. I know it's a normal biological function, and it is as normal as living. But it REALLY scares me.

will address this too I have told some people here this

it was during the I think TimeSpace tour , in Mansfield Ma . I was in line i had a backstage pass .

I met a guy who had traveled from France , we were al chatty and such

then all the band started to arrive , on car backed up and a guy was yelling through the window
a few minutes later he comes crashing trough the gates with some police officers to remove the french guy ( i never asked his name ) I was being screamed at by the guy in the car

1 hour later I am inline to buy a T the guy in the car is there

I go over and talk to him he is Christoper Stevie's Brother . he asked me repeatedly if I was with the French guy I told him No ! and get my friends to back me up

he believes me and tells them I ca go backstage after the show BUT

Stevie is Freaked Out ... the french guy flew here when their moter was in the hospital , dressed in scrubs and went looking for her he even made it to the OR / intensive care

so from that day on anyone with an over zealous fascination aka FAN -Atic with a celebrity scares me
