Scary things

[Thane1234]

Post what scares you: people, animals, heights or whatever you like.

I will begin.

I saw a very dirty, very smelly, man at the grocery store. He walked up to a sample tray, took a chip, dipped it, ate half the chip and then dipped it back into the dip again and finished his chip. Double dippers and unattended sample trays scare me.

Also I dislike ticks, I am not scared per se but they creep me out; leaches don't as much, oddly enough.

Ooh, good thread!

I'm afraid of electricity. It used to be more like a phobia where I was afraid of plugs and outlets, but I have it more under control now... still, if I see little purple sparks come out when I unplug something I freak out for awhile... and electro-play is definitely a hard limit for me.

Also, getting sucked into a boat engine. What? I know. It's random. I'm not afraid of waterskiing, tubing, swimming in the middle of the lake... it's getting back into the boat that puts the fear of god in my heart.

I once stripped the wires from some old headphones and then put the earpieces on and put the bare ends in an outlet. I heard a humming and smelled burning plastic. I may have smelled the color blue as well, I am not sure. I was very young but that explains a lot I think.

Hmmmm.....I'm afraid of a lot of things.

I'm afraid of snakes. When I was teaching 4th grade and doing a lesson on snakes, I had borrowed one from a science lab to bring in for the kids to see and touch, etc. The snake's name was Mrs. Rogers, LOL!! I did NOT want to pass along my fear of snakes to the kids because, in my heart, I know there is nothing to be afraid of, unless it's a poisonous snake, of course. To make this more nerve-wracking, this lesson was being videotaped to be shown in a class of future teachers.

I crack up now whenever I see the video because I watch myself facilitating the lesson as a calm, cool, collected teacher.........and then as I "confidently" reached my hand into the glass cage to get the snake out, she suddenly moved, and my hand pulls back as I flinch. I think I played it off well enough so that the kids didn't notice my fear (or hear my heart pounding), but the future teachers thought it was pretty funny when they saw the video of the lesson because they knew of my fear of snakes. I haven't touched one since!!

I'm also afraid of:

death (my own, but even more so, my parents)
never having children
never finding the love of my life and getting married to him


There are more, but I'll leave it there for now.
Good question!!!

Spiders. Hate the little fuckers (will however watch them from a safe distance (i.e. behind a window) for hours though). it's strange. I perfectly fine with most other creepy-crawlies. Don't bother me at all, but spiders *shudder* In high school I was dating a guy and we were in his basement where we saw a wolf spider. The bastard proceeded to pick me up and hold me over top of the spider, threatening to drop me. I nearly cried.

I originally included this next fear in my first post to this thread, but I deleted it..........out of fear (pun intended) I decided to post it anyway.

I'm afraid that I'll never get to explore the desires that I have that are getting stronger as each day passes. These desires are of a D/s nature, which I've experienced almost nothing of in real life.

Though I'm afraid that I'll never get to explore these desires, I'm also afraid of how strong they are getting. Sometimes they are so strong that I feel consumed by them. The desires themselves are both scary to me and extremely erotic.....partly because of the fear, I'm sure.

Anyway, I decided to add this fear to my list after originally deleting it because I figured if I couldn't share it here, then where could I?

Scared of two things, first being...SNAKES.

A friend can come up behind me and just go hssssss and i scream and try to climb the wall, i am so freaked by those things.

Second, is not ever finding another Master in r/l.

Wher I used to live, there were these quarter-sized black spiders that would jump straight at you when you tired to smack them with something. I've been afraid of spiders since a babysitter let me watch this move when I was baout 5 - I don't remember the details, but it involved caverns filled with huge spiders and humans being wrapped up for food (no, not Arachnophobia-I'm a lot older than that!).

Snakes are also a big fear. I still have to flip quickly past them in, for example, National Geographic - being very careful not to touch the picture. When I was a kid, I often encountered blue racers while wandering in the woods; they are harmless but freaked me out whenever they crossed my path. A few years ago, my husband agreed to babysit a little ball python while a friend of ours was on vacation and I didn't sleep well the whole time it was in the house.

I'm also afraid of heights. Looking down from a high balcony makes me incredibly dizzy, and I'm always afraid of falling. Related to that, some roller coasters scare me. I can handle the ones where I'm strapped in tight and whirling around upside down, but the ones that have just a lap bar and take you up these huge hills are no fun at all.

I'm sometimes so afraid of death that I can't sleep. What did insomniacs do before the invention of the internet?

It works better if you hiss and then kick them lightly in the back of the leg like a snake striking. I saw a man nearly wet himself from that.

You do that, and i WOULD climb the wall, not just try.

Spiders

Being out in a lightning storm

looking stupid

Being surrounded by crowds of people without a way out

I think that it would be a very bad idea to post what scares me...LOL.

 

[LittleJade]

Homeless people.

I must have a stamp on my forehead that says "APPROACHABLE, ASK ME FOR MONEY, TELL ME YOUR LIFE STORY" (yes, I have a big forehead).

Seriously- they freak me out.

I'm not a violent person, but in that case I'd make an exception. That's even worse than the middle-school friends who loved to grab my ankle during the worst parts of horror movies (definitely NOT my favorite genre).

Old McDonald's Farm

I have an unreasonable fear of certain barnyard animals, chickens being the most frightening.

I think I can trace this fear's genesis to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

There's that one scene where the girlfriend enters the house looking for her boyfriend. She enters that one room where all about are strewn bones of dead animals and weird stuffed things.

She looks up and in a cage that's too small for any living thing, there's a chicken. Cooped up and evil, copper eyes looking at her flatly.

She turns to run. But it's too late. Leatherface emerges behind her, takes her back into the carniceria and puts her up on the hook, her feet dangling like a marionette.

So, there you have it. Irrational. Unreasonable. A specious connection 'twixt chickens and chainsaw wielding psychopaths.

But, still, I don't like chickens.

I don't like electricity either, plugging or unplugging. Come to it, I'm not crazy about goats either.

Oh, this list could go on and on. -kitty.

 

[HB1965]

Failing someone I love
Being rejected for who I am
Not being able to achieve my dreams

 

[myinnerslut]

being abandoned

 

[sutherngent985]

Its funny but Im terrified of ferris wheels, specifically the car flipping over and falling out of it. If the car has a cage Im fine, but an open one...no thank you. And this from a guy who has been skydiving.

 

[ecstaticsub]

I am afraid of what I call "the worst case scenerio". As a way of protecting myself if it ever does occur I have thought of it, planned in my head how I would react to it, and then dredge it up every once in a while to make sure I can mentally handle it. But it is the absolute worst thing that could happen in my life.


On a lighter note, I have a fear of making phone calls. Even to friends I would rather email then call. I am always afraid of inconviencing some one.

 

[Homburg]

Failing those I love.

My wife dying before me.

 

[FurryFury]

People who believe their own lies scary the crap outta me.

Wow, good thread idea. I'm scared of..... a lot of things. I admit it, I'm a regular old scardy-cat (or, young scardy-cat).

I am positively FREAKED OUT by most bugs/creepy-crawlies. Completely and utterly. *shudders*

Being home alone at night, or during the day if it's really windy and the house is making those creaking noises... yeah.

People I love dying, not just because of them not being with me anymore and stuff, but I am seriously scared of my mom dying because I literally cannot support myself, financially or mentally, and I have nightmares that I'd end up on the streets or something.

Me dying... I've always been afraid of dying, it stems from a small breakdown I had as a child where I had all these fears/questions about heaven and what it's like and how it works up there... yeah.

....... I could go on. And on. And on.
