Biggest fear[What are you scared of]
 

To be honest.... I don't know what really scares me. Other than life-threatening situations, anyway. I'm not afraid of heights, deep water, being lost or alone, being attacked (mainly by wasps and random wildlife that's actually very common, so it's not that much of a big deal). I'm wary of the dark, as everyone is at some point. I suppose my one true fear is large crowds, society, or people in general I don't really know. That's why my circle of friends consists of two adults and a child, and nothing more.

I do love spiders, really. I've owned a few tarantulas and I love to study them under magnifying glasses and microscopes. Bugs don't bother me, either.

Heights. Anything more than a few feet off the ground and I freak out. I have panic attacks to the point where I can't even move. I just can't deal with heights. I have no idea where the phobia came from but I'm much happier with my feet on the ground and not having to worry about falling and dying. O.o

The idea of not doing anything worthwhile in my life is probably something that scares me most. I mean, when you're lying on your deathbed or telling stories to the grandkids, you always want to have some amazing adventures to tell them about and to look back on. You always want to leave something behind to be remembered by, to change or achieve something. People do it everyday, and I really want to be one of those people. The idea of being a loser plagues me.

@Bucket: I can relate to that. I want to live a full life, and not just so that I can look back on it without regret, but also because it's so much more fun!

I guess my main fear is being seen. That is, I'm afraid to be fully myself in public spaces (on the street, in class, at parties, wherever) because I am afraid of being judged by others and found lacking. I have been known to have panic attacks just facing a simple phone call.

Sooo, as a way of challenging that fear head on (and hopefully breaking it to pieces), I decided to take an improv class this summer. I'm three sessions into it now and it is still scary every time I go, but its getting better, and damn, it is really fun. Best decision ever.

Yup, I'm only scared of Spiders,
Everything else I'm fine with.
Like.. In the morning i'm not scared of them but at night when ima bout to go to bed and there is a spider crawling
On my wall, I tend to freak.

My biggest fear... it's still being alone. This fear came from me being bullied really badly back in middle school. So I have independence and dependency issues. I can't be left without friends or my boyfriend for very long without me starting to get really bad pits of depression and then panic attacks. I was sent to the mental hospital two years ago because of this, and it didn't really help me much.

It's a really hard fear to get over. I'm not sure where to begin, besides me trying to do my best in the classes that I am by myself in and sometimes trying to make friends.

I also have this huge fear of drunks. I'm just as scared of drunks and being drunk as I am of being alone. It's because of my mother that I have this fear, she's an alcoholic who doesn't do well when drunk. So I don't give a fuck if you're a happy drunk, I'm going to be terrified of you. Not to mention I was molested by a "happy drunk" when I was about 10. So again, doesn't matter the kind of drunk you are, I'll be terrified of you and extremely cautious.

My biggest fear would have to be.. the unknown.

It's like I don't like not knowing what is going on. I like knowing ahead. I have this anxiety of being stuck and not knowing how to assess the situation. I always need to plan ahead so I have some sort of direction. It's like I'd rather have a map of where to go than just exploring freely. It's hard to make a decision for myself if I don't have the evidence to support it.

Like airports can be a certain situation. I like to know what gate ahead of time, I like to know where to check-in. Yet there are signs showing you where to go, I like KNOWING so I don't have to follow signs because it'll make me flustered, scared and alone. It's such a terrifying feeling.

Another example is when I drive to places I never driven to and parked there. I'll look up ahead of time on Google Maps (despite I know where it is) and look how the parking lot is set up, so I know how to park and where. Most importantly, how to get out.

That's the main reason I want to do it too! C: So many of my family members said they freaked when they turned thirty because they haven't done anything wild and fun in their lives, so that's what I want to try and avoid.
