What are you afraid of?

[Yuki]

Spiders.

I cannot stand spiders. At all. I'm like Ron Weasley :( If I see one, no matter how small, I freak out. In a major way, too. With the screaming and the flailing of the arms ... T_T;

[Ironsight]

Wasn't there a topic like this already?

[Split Infinity]

Weren't there five topics like this already?

I used to be scared of spiders, but I'm getting better - or maybe that's just because I haven't seen any recently... o_o

[Laharl]

yeah i too am scared by your inability to use the search feature

[Someone Else]

Fear of failure mostly. Spiders and the like don't scare me. Neither does death, or not directly at least. You could think of death as a "failure" I suppose.

you fail at immortality

[Shikonaurum]

Being doomed to fail by dying seems a little too cynical for my tastes.

I generally fear dying at an inopportune moment, though. Dying in my twenties.

I also really dislike dots. Seeing a general cobblestone pattern sickens me :(. But in contrast to all the rest that is said, that seems rather petty.

[Golden Legacy]

This isn't so much a "fear" as it is paranoia, but I have an unusual "fear" of destructive examples of nature. Things like lightning, tornadoes, cyclones, and tsunamis...

For example, there is a a large open plaza in one part of my university. When the sky is cloudy, I can't even walk across it just because of my phobia. It's not even that I feel at risk being hit by lightning or a tornado descending above me, specifically, it's just this uneasiness I feel when I'm in such a wide open space in such conditions.

That, and failing in my education.

[Gio]

Fear itself....j/k

I share GL's phobia of destructive weather. I hate walking through the Wal-mart parking lot during a bad thunderstorm.

[kate]

death, sex, spiders, heights and ib. Serious about all except that last one lol. well actually, ib is terrifying, but it's over so meh.

[Fury]

I'm scared of heights. Have been since I was seven.

[Ironsight]

Hights, sometimes.

[Nosferatu]

Other people. Although I think it might be 75% fear, 25% hate.

o_o

Not to poke fun at you or anything...

[kate]

no actually, it's a real phobia, I'm not just a prude.

hey when I said I wanted to grow up to be a nun, I meant it.

[Someone Else]

Girls fearing sex isn't uncommon.

I have as much emotion as a rock, I don't fear anything!

Seriously, this one time I was almost hit by a car. In fact, the only reason why I wasn't on the ground writhing in pain was because a low hedge got in the way. And I didn't FEEL anything, I just stared at the car being caught in the hedge.

There's something wrong with me.

[Gio]

I walk out in front of cars in the wal-mart parking lot. It drives my mom absolutely crazy she is always yelling at me for doing it. lol

[kate]

oh gee, men saying they're fearless, surprise surprise.

Same with when we were doing dissections. I didn't get queasy, but the guys were all poking at the body and do weird things like taking it's eyes out and playing with them and laughing up a storm. Of course they were trying to show they weren't afraid, and they probably thought they weren't. Truth is, the reason they were doing it was because deep down they were queasy so they were overcompensating. So basically if you think you're fearless, you've just got even deeper problems. Or you're superman, one of the two.

[Someone Else]

Do you think I want to be unafraid of things that really should make me scared for my personal safety? x_x

[Folcon]

I'm not so much afraid of death, as I am dying an embarrassing death. Also I don't like great heights. never liked the upper floors of hotels, but as long as I don't look down, it ain't a problem. But its mostly when I'm more than five or six floors up. The only other thing that scares me is having something happen and being helpless to do anything. Asking for help, admitting when I'm wrong, and facing authority also scare me.

I've almost been hit about 4 times this year. They honk, I raise middle finger and keep walking.

[Fury]

It seems that heights is a universal fear.

[Ironsight]

I fear hospitals and dentists too.

[Blue]

Heights, most "bugs", umm, I think thats it actually.
Oh no wait, people who can't drive. xD

[Nyktos]

Insects, especially wasps. I used to be terrified of spiders, but I've mainly got over it (which is good, because there are about a million of them living on my bedroom ceiling).

I can't help but ask, why?

[kate]

isn't it obvious? he's queen of the spiders! ALL SHALL BOW BEFORE HIM

i think i put arachnophobia in my fears...no? well I am. Good times.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - the fear of long words XD

^ whoever named that is my hero and a sick sick person.

[Ironsight]

I hate spiders. The only good spider is the kind flattend under the sole of my boot.

[Saturos S.]

Uhmm... just scared of anything that you should be scared of since they can kill you.

I to jump up a lot at horror movies, but don't really stay frightened afterwards as some people do.

[Ironsight]

I'm afraid of Nos and sunlight.

[Kikuichimonji]

Flying insects.


All of them

[Shikonaurum]

Butterflies included?

Wow, that's the third person I've met.

[kate]

...you are aware there's a flying insect in your avy right?

[Laharl]

FLYING SPIDER

everyone wins

[Envy]

Bugs...

Seriously... I am so freaked out by them. Moths scare me the most. The hair or whatever on them, their disgusting eyes... and OMG... I don't even want to think about it... If one of them touches me I literally freak out. Literally I have to go wash off where they touched me because it really bothers me if I don't.

But other bugs do freak me out. Usually not quite to the extent of a moth, but SOMETIMES. Like the other night (This is gross, so don't read on if you don't like things like that.) there was some kind of beatle like bug (June bug? I don't know.) anyways it hit my leg, that kind of bothered me... but not too much... But than for some reason I picked up my leg and when I put my foot back down I felt something under it... It was that bug... and it's insides were literally all over the place. Not all over my foot (Thankfully... I would have... well I don't know... it wouldn't have been pretty.) I felt like throwing up... and to say the least I freaked out... Even the thought of my foot touching it or what's inside of it made me shiver and was like having a spasm. o_O

I could not control myself... and I rushed to the shower and would not calm down until I knew my foot was clean.

XD

There's you a real fear. I have no clue what could have happened to make me so scared of them. o_O

[Ironsight]

You have issues.







"Issues like a fox :("

You're not alone. Moths disgust me too. </3

[Caael]

I only have one fear, and that is failure in life. Sounds bigheaded, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to strive for the best. Better results=better job=more money.

[kate]

huzzah! I concur caael. I'm the same, especially after all the damn effort I put into ib.

I figured a way to solve it though, if I don't get into vet school I either

A: kill myself (lulzactuallynotkidding)
B: abandon life and become a hobo
C: Teach.

In that order of preference.

[Ironsight]

How are the classrooms in Canada?

Trade "vet" with "med" and "ib"* with "A2" then you're me. :P


*"U-WERE-FSCKIN-CRAZY-2-TAKE-SUCH-A-DIPSH!T-HARD-EXAM!!11!!" was my first thought when I saw you took IB. Eww. Well y'know what they say about IB kids; smart enough to get in, stupid enough to stay in ;P.

[Toasty]

The only thing that ever makes any test/exam hard for me is writing. It's not that I'm bad in the slightest. I'd have gotten A's on all of my english papers if I had just turned them in on time. I's just that I'm slow at it, and I hate it.

If it's math or science though, it's a piece of cake.

....just as long as they're not essay questions....*shudder*


Anyway, I don't want to fail at life, but I have other priorities. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something bad happened to someone I knew, and there was something I could've done to prevent it.
I'd still feel horrible even if there wasn't anything that I could do.

Basically, I have a fear of not being useful.

[Ironsight]

I fear responsibility. I don't like people relying on me.

[redchi]

I fear hospitals the most i hate going in them :P

[Lightning Star]

I know it sounds really weird, but I fear that I'll go on living never knowing who I am, stuck in this giant identity crisis I've been going through for the past year and a half. I know they say it's just a phase, but I highly doubt other teens have seen the stuff I've seen in life and lived as two different people every single day.

I also fear that I'll always be fickle; it's been causing me so many problems, especially in relationships, yet there's nothing I can do except sit back and apologize for my indecisiveness. I'm afraid that it'll drive away everyone close to me...

I dont fear death. Am I weird?

No. I'm like you. I have no fears except for being a failure. Except I don't really like spiders, wouldn't say I'm afraid of them though.

[Zeypher]

Death scares me...only because I don't know what happens when you die (like, does it just turn black and you have no conscience or is there a heaven?).

I also fear heights. Whenever I go up somewhere high I always feel like I'm gonna fall off. No idea why >.>

[Lightning Star]

The only reason I fear death is 'cause I know there's no way in hell that I'm going to heaven (lawl pun.)
