What are you afraid of?

[amber]

That's weird, i never even think about fire. I took down my smoke detector about, oh, 40 seconds after I moved in . But i often have dreams about hearing someone trying to get in my house, and I can't wake up to check, I keep dreaming that i woke up, but i haven't. So i think I'm pretty scared of being murdered...Also i have nightmares about Tsunamis, so i guess i'm scared of that, but what's the likelihood? Even with me living in Earthquakeville, i really doubt i'm ever gonna see a Tsunami... a bit scared of the Ocean, but not too bad...

My feeling about the Ocean is interesting - it does scare me - mostly because of the vastness and restlessness of it...I think it's beautiful but just amazing - so it's a respectful sort of fear I guess...

Man, thanks so much for those pics of the spiders! eeep

I am deathly afraid of spiders. I see one - I freak out. However, I'm not too afraid of them to abstain from breaking out the flyswater and smashing them to bits.

Flying bugs - my mom and sisters and I all have a phobia. I run away like a girl. My dad just laughs.

Other than bugs, I'm really creeped out by heights. And, I used to be really afraid of dolls. My grandmother used to have a whole room full of these porcelain dolls, and we had to sleep in there - *shudder* I always felt like they were watching me, and then going to come alive when I was asleep.

THe thing that scares me most about clowns is that they're so not funny at all, yet, somehow, there are still clowns... I'm like, "AAAAaaahhhh, nooooo, don't make me watch something so laaame!!"

BIG fear of heights, but I force myself to go on things like roller coasters to try to overcome it. I think this is a result of seeing someone commit suicide by jumping off a high building when I was 14. I had alot of serious flashbacks when the people were jumping out of the WTC on 9/11.

SUPER BIG fear of flying, but I still go. My doctor actually prescribes meds for me - LOL! The idea of what happened to the passengers on TWA 800 is my idea of a terrifying death. Is it really that crazy to be afraid of being 30,000 feet inside a hollow metal tube with your life in the hands of someone that you have never met? I DON'T THINK SO!!! And as for those damn oxygen masks . . . no thanks I would rather pass out before we hit the ground.

Also don't like rodents of any sort. I do not like mice and will scream like a 5 year old if there is one running across the floor. I am already preparing myself for this winter and the old farmhouse that I just moved into . . . the previous owners had mice and rat poison everywhere when I moved in . . ugh. Not a good sign!

I've been on numerous flights for over 15 years now, but my fear of flying didn't come up until recently. I won't fly without my daughter. I wouldn't want to leave her motherless, so if I fly, she goes to. Almost sounds selfish, but I couldn't stand the thought of her being parentless.

I almost forgot! When I returned home from our trip to the Grand Canyon, I had nightmares that Sara was falling from the rim, and I would just dive in after her. I had nightmares for a week. And, if I sit and think about it long enough, it makes my skin crawl. It's just that big and humbling. So, I can agree with Deanna and her fear of the ocean statement... I have a BIG respectful fear of the Grand Canyon, but it's so beautiful, I can't wait to go back. I read a book about death in the Grand Canyon after I came home from my trip, and that really freaked me out, but it was interesting, and if anything, it teaches you what NOT to do while you're there so you don't get yourself killed...

Ok, don't tell your daughter about this. I think a bunch of my fears are risidual from my mom telling me about them and such. Like, when we used to have our once a month treat eat out, mom would read the paper, and then tell me about some murder, then we had this complex system of signals in case someone tried to kidnap me(the signal part is good, but) and then my fear of Tsunamis i think came from her telling me how she always had dreams that there was a giant ocean wave coming, and only she could see it, and she had to try to save me...etc. So then I've had dreams like that...

Here's an amusing anecdote:

So I was driving home one day and I was at a red light. I just glanced in my rearview mirror and there was a clown - full makeup/wig the whole nine yards - driving the car behing me....it FREAKED ME OUT!!!

I guess there was a birthday party in my neighborhood because it followed me almost all the way to my house - I was shaken but laughing because of how ridiculous the whole thing was - and how ridiculous this clown looked driving..

[estranged4life]

afraid is being around people (!!!), I tend to be a loner, Was that way through all of my high school/college years (I was approachable & friendly, But rather more reserved and I never initiated a conversation)...

Kinda funny though, But as I have grown older going to concerts is about as sociable as I will ever get, Otherwise I am a grouchy, pissed off M.F. who would rather be left the hell alone!!!
