Biggest fears
I'm curious as to how many people are afraid of the same things, but also what it is that scares all of you.
Personally, my list is quite large. =/ LOL - zombies, of course - my fan falling down while spinning and chopping me in the face - spiders, naturally - breaking my teeth (so I've learned from my nightmares) - ghosts/demons, although I don't actually believe in them - pitch darkness More reasonably... - my daughter growing up to hate me - my daughter growing up and running away - my daughter growing up being bullied - my daughter growing up feeling as if she can't talk to me - my daughter being kidnapped - my daughter being badly injured - my daughter getting deathly ill - my daughter growing up and dating a boy who changes her in all the wrong ways - my daughter feeling pain in any way; physically or emotionally - my daughter growing up in this violent and terrifying world And also... - war - the direction of the economy - the direction of the violence in our world So, now that I've embarrassed myself enough, lol, what scares you? |
There are more, but those have to do with my religion and my fear of doing something that I shouldn't. |
things that scare me:
-High walk bridges -He will leave me -Being pregnant -Spiders -Never becoming a successful programmer -Failing out of college -Losing arms/legs ._.;; I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any more right now. |
Spiders are my number one worst fear ever. Completely irrational, but I cannot handle them.
A lot of religious stuff genuinely scares me. I won't get into why because it would probably offend someone, but.. I do best avoiding everything to do with churches/religion. Racists and homophobes and various other hateful people scare me. Those are the big ones, I guess. People and spiders. Nasty stuff. |

--- When I was younger I wasn't afraid of dying as much because I didn't really give much thought to the future. But now that I'm in the process of settling down and planning my career I'm really, REALLY terrified of dying. D: I'm getting to the point where I am enjoying life a lot more but I don't want anything to take that away from me. I also worry a lot about my boyfriend since he is one of the most important people in my life. I know that my boyfriend and I can take care of ourselves just fine, but there are so many things that are still out of our control and that's what really stresses me out sometimes. It's kind of why I freak out at the first sign of any of us getting sick, whether it's just a common cold or a small tummy ache. [cry] Oh and when I was younger I would skip showering or brushing my teeth because I had this feeling that zombies would attack me in the bathroom. D: In retrospect, playing Resident Evil was totally not worth losing sleep over. |
EVERYTHING. [twitch]
Kidding, kidding. Mostly: x. Falling, not even heights...just falling from them. xD x. People I care about dying. x. Being a complete failure. x. Ending up alone. x. Thinking about not being able to see someone out the window at night... but that they can see me. o_o" x. Not being prepared for a zombie apocolypse if it happened some day. xD x. The dark to an extent. I mean, I don't sleep with a fricken nightlight or anything, but I hate not being able to see things. Freaks me out a bit. x. When I can't scream in dreams and it feels like I'm being held down by something that isn't really there. (Woke up to that once, couldn't move, or scream, and it felt like I was being choked. It wasn't pleasant.lol) Or no matter how fast I want to run in my dreams, I can't run very fast, and whatever it is chasing me is like RIGHT behind me super close. :P Uhhh... I'll edit if I remember anything else. |
My biggest fear? Being alone... forever.
Or not being loved... I also fear that my mental disorders will get worse and ruin my life. |
There are a few things that scare me, from minor things to stuff that most likely won't happen.
Dying in a car accident, dying by fire. Being murdered or horribly injured. Dying of heart attack. Loosing my partner somehow. Not accomplishing my goals. That my health problems will keep holding me back in life. The universe glitching out and killing everyone, lol. o_o; .. and surpri-durs, yesterday my girlfriend asked me if I was afraid of spiders, and I told her it wasn't the spider that scared me, I don't like when they come out of nowhere because of my anxiety, and we have a lot of them, so she started calling them that, lol. |
I experience all kinds of fears. Haha.
I'm terrified of thunderstorms, though I'm slowly getting over that. I can at least pretend to ignore them now. And old men...because well...because. But I have other fears like: -my boyfriend dying -zombies -my boyfriend lying to/cheating on me -not finding a decent job in graphic design (what I'm going to school for and absolutely love) -getting pregnant and then abandoned by my boyfriend (which he swears he'd never do and I trust he wouldn't, but I can't help to wonder, but that'd be with any guy) -how I'll die (scenarios run through my mind everyday...I'm not afraid of dying, just how it will happen) -not being ready for the independent adult life -becoming my older sister (I'm highly against drinking and drugs because of her example, but I'm terrified if I tried something just once, I'd want more) I am not afraid of spiders, though. I think they're beautiful. :) |

I'm not afraid to die, but I often ponder how horrible and painful it might be. xD ...also the whole not being ready for adult life thing. I don't like the idea of not making rent or something, gambling with school and ending up not finding a job but still having to pay off student loans somehow, living in a super cheap ghetto neighborhood (Can't stand it! Been there, done that.), or ending up homeless. /: All sound incredibly shitty and unpleasant. D; Oh! I am also afraid of my boyfriend being horribly mangled/killed in a snowmobiling accident. :P He's a crazy ass adreniline junkie, and I was watching this thing on the winter xgames and how many people were SERIOUSLY (Like life threatening) injured doing crazy tricks like he does/is working to do. Freaked me out and made me cringe to watch it. First thought that came to mind was "Holy shit that could be him one day! [gonk] <\3" |
My biggest fears are spiders, swimming in deep water where I can't see or touch the bottom, and the general stupidity of the people around me. I'm not even being sarcastic about that last one. People really scare me sometimes with what they deem acceptable or amusing on a daily basis.

My biggest fears...
1. Bugs. Of all kinds. Especially big ones. And spiders. I'm utterly terrified of them. I hate it, but I am. If there's one nearby, I might look at it, but if it moves towards me, I jump backward. 2. Losing my vision. I don't know what I'd do if I lost my vision. It'd pretty much be the end of me. 3. Losing use of my hands. Equally scary to me as losing my eyes, but I think that I could cope with it better. 4. My pets running away/getting lost. It scares the crap out of me. 5. Someone I care about getting hurt in any way shape or form. 6. Getting chewed out/shouted at/picked on. It's the reason I'm as antisocial as I am. I'm trying to overcome it, but it really hinders my ability to converse with people. |

That shit right there gives me heart attacks. Not the stairs themselves, but being able to see through them. I am also afraid of walking on really rickety looking things. That could entail old bridges, two story malls with bridges from one side to the other. Basically anything that creaks, wobbles, or looks like it has no support. I don't remember who said it, but like them I'm afraid of falling from high places, but I'm not afraid of heights. I also don't like elevators. If I ever go to New York I'm probably screwed. I can't go up more than four floors or so in an elevator without wanting to puke. And along that line, I've always been deathly afraid of getting stuck in an elevator. Cancers also scare me. Either having it, or someone else having it. I was really comforted to see that I'm not the only one paranoid about marriage. I wouldn't call myself afraid of it, it's more a lack of faith that I could trust anyone else to be faithful to me in it and not come up to me out of the blue with divorce papers that they want me to sign. I also don't like the idea of splitting half of my hard earned stuff with an asshole who I decide it wasn't worth to marry, or they decide I wasn't worth marrying, etc. I guess in general I'm just tired/afraid of being left alone in a relationship without any forewarning or reason. I have had it happen before and I'd rather be single than deal with that ever again. |
I have a really irrational fear that I'm slowly getting over. I've always been afraid of mushrooms, to some extent. >__>; Something about how they grow in damp dirty places and live off dead and decaying matter, has always put me off. I probably shouldn't have read science books when I was young. [lol] But now that they're frequently put in my food since I moved to Japan, I've slowly gotten used to them. Still not fond of the big squishy ones though since the texture gets to me.
As for more rational fears, probably my biggest one right now is accidentally getting pregnant. I want to have kids and I think my current boyfriend would make a great father, but I'm not ready yet. If I got pregnant now, I'd be forced to make some really hard choices. |
My fears are
People I care about dying Tall high places I have a fear of Heights Roach's if I see any I do try kill them but the giant ones are hard as hell to kill. Complete darkness I have to use a night light so I can have a little light in my room at night. |
By far, heights are one of my biggest fears. I mean anything over 6 feet or so high. I have panic attacks and break out in a cold sweat and everything. Same with spiders. No thank you!
I also am afraid of beign alone forever, even though I know I'll always have my family. I worry about my best friend abandoning me even though he hasn't even through all the crap we've been through together. I'm also afraid that I'm never going to be able to start a family of my own. I really want kids and I'm getting to the point where I feel too old to do anything much about it. |
Quote:
That and not being able to have kids if I ever decide to have them. |

I have that fear about not being able to have kids either. I got pregnant twice and miscarried both times so I'm kinda where I just don't want to try again though my doctor said I should be fine to try again when I want.
|
My biggest fear is Snake. At least that's what I keep telling myself and other people.
But I do have more rational fear like, I'm scared of complete darkness, I can't stay in the dark alone, I can't even sleep with the lights off. The lights in my room are on 24/7. I'm also scared of rejection, most of the times I would rather not ask rather than be rejected. And I'm scared of having kids and not being able to raise them right, and them turning into a bad person, and that being my fault. I'm scared of messing up my current relationship, because I always try to sabotage my own happiness for some reason, and also my parents looking at me and saying that I'm a failure and an embarrassment. |
@Ferra: Oh, there's no need to worry about me. I just had that nightmare once, but it was a nasty one and it's stuck with me. If anything it's served to remind me to be as careful as possible while I'm still in this stage of life. That, and to make my position on pregnancy extremely clear to any partners I may have at this point.

hights and people creeping up on me

Death by brain tumor, death by having my throat slit, or [emotional] death by becoming a father. Otherwise it's really just a bunch of self-confidence issues.
