Hmmm..now I am afraid to go to OZ!!!!!!!

 

[celiaKitten]

I am intensely afraid of hurting people.

 

[Wiggles]

I'm afraid of driving on the highway with all the loonies out there.
And I have to do it ten times every week!

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

I have a paralizeing fear of the future.
anything that is uncertin. I like rutine, once something throws that rutin off I pannic, as much as I want a job I know that when I get one i'll be scared shitless untill it comes. and I don't mean just nervus I mean fucking scared.

I have a few other fears, but the unknown and the future is the worse for me.

 

[perks]

I'd tell you, but then you'd be able to use it against me. It's a sincere phobia and just thinking about it to this extent has me totally skeeved and I will have to think about something else now so I won't start screaming.

 

[alltherage]

I have a couple of old fears. I am not sure I should share here. Lets just say that i am afraid of sudden attacks.

But more tangible than that fear, is the fear I have for my children. Everytime I hear a story about some sick fuck molesting children it drives me first to anger and then to fear.

Heights

Truly yes, I am afraid of heights but I spent 3.5 yrs flying with Delta, I just didn't look out the windows. If I didn't look then I didn't have to think about how high off the ground I was.

I am afraid of spiders also. Just thinking of them gives me the heebie-jeebies.

What am I scared of?

As I've gotten older and have seen more of the world I am scared that I will fail my family, that I will fail all of those important people I love so much and need in my life. What scares me is they all rely upon me for certain things they have grown to "need" in their lives. I have just about given up on my "needs" and have sacrificed so many of my desires just to give them the support and help they need to make it through their days.

I'm scared that I won't ever find the me that has been put on hold while I have always been there for them. Asking has never been something I was good at so I have never asked anyone for help along the way. Maybe that's where I went wrong - I've given so much of me and feel that it's time for me to reap some of what I can now offer myself. I'm having trouble getting myself to believe it's okay for me to be this way now.

I know this is getting too long, but please let me get this out of my system...when my son was first born he would stop breathing - I was a basket case from the first time it happened. The first time he stopped breathing I was finishing a shower. My guilt was overwhelming. Here I was doing something for me and he was in need and I hadn't known it. It's taken me all of this time to realize that it wasn't my fault that he had this condition. I can remember holding him and crying all the while wondering what I did wrong while he was still inside me. Had I not eaten correctly? Had I maybe bumped my stomach and hurt him? Was I flawed?

I would sleep in the same room with him - I became so obsessed with never leaving him that I didn't. I couldn't leave him because I had to be there for him. I know that is the wrong way to be, but I was so scared that I would lose the most important person in my life, my son, that I gave up all of me to give him his life. What I didn't realize was that in doing that, I also gave up another person who was important to me also.

OK, I'm afraid of clowns. Do you realize how many clowns ended up being serial murderers? It's fucking unreal, those numbers.

I'm also afraid of people who are afraid to drive on interstate.

Not afraid of heights, but I am afraid of falling, once I'm up there.

Oh, one last thing. I'm afraid to become Bubba's Bitch.

 

[Tungwagger]

I'm afraid of having my fantasy of 3 (at the same time) women wanting me in a "sexual" way, and I put so much pressure on myself to "perform" that I can't rise to the occasion...........YIKES!!!


VEWWWWY SCAWWWWY!!!

Spiders most surely--an most other crawly things aren't particulaly pleasant either. I always imagine the spiders are going to jump at me.

 

[Astro]

Dont like spiders, used to get more freaked out by them. Went on a trip to the jungle, came out of my tent about 3am and sat eyeball to eyeballs with a big, hairy, ugly spider for 5mins. After that my fear sort of died down.

Afraid of failure. What can I tell you, I'm an Aries!

 

[Scabbers]

Afraid

of being alone, ignored, abandoned

 

[sch00lteacher]

Excellent post Enchanted. Thank you for sharing.

Spiders, and snakes. Kill both on sight.

16 year old posters on Lit. pretending to be of age. Always starting some shit.

Drunk drivers. No matter how careful you are...

Losing my mind as I grow older.

Nursing homes, see above.

Gangs of youth with nothing to do, coming in my direction, in the dark.

High edges. High places themselves do not bother me. Approaching the edge does.

Chest pains. Is it another heart attack? Or gas...

[seXieleXie]

i like snakes, and spiders aren't too bad as long as they leave me alone

i'm scared of heights/falling. i don't know how to separate the two.

i'm scared of bees. i'm VERY allergic to bee stings, so seeing a bee sends me into a panic.

umm... i'm scared of rabbid backstreet boys fans (*shudder* i'm in therapy still from bringing my sister and her friends to a concert last year)

those are the big ones.

For me, it's spiders. I have a true phobia of them.

Here in the lucky country (Australia!) there are lots of spiders. Some of them are poisonous. All of them are ugly.

My particular fear is Huntsman spiders. They're huge, hairy legged monsters that are easily the size of a man's handspan when fully grown. I faint when I see them.

Uuuugghhh!

Same here, except for the fainting part.

No matter if I see a real spider, or a picture in a book, or see it on TV, I freak out, I mean really freak out!

I can not stand the bloody things. And I to live in Australia, and I hate those bloody Huntsman, I seen one that bloody huge, it easly cold cover a big handspan of a growen man, and still have part of it's legs over the edge.

If some one played a trick on me with a spider, fake or real, I would no longer be friends with them. That's how much bI hate those dam spiders.

 

[Orlanth]

Chest pains. Is it another heart attack? Or gas...

I worrie about that all the time, and I am only a young lad. The doctors say the stress I have is going to give me a heart attack, or my 2nd stroke.
I have bad chest pain alot. Also Stomch Olsores (sp?). Both diffrent types, one being around the heartr, the 2nd being well above the stomch and throat.
I worrie about a heart attack and anothere stroke all the time; and I also worrie about my Olsores busting. The pain!

Another thing to worrie me, is my back. I got metal rods in my back, keeping my back bone in a straigt line. Every time I get back pain, I get very worried.

BIG spiders

Heights

Aggressive people who pick on others, unless they are bullies. Then I become very aggressive.

 

[Desdemona]

I'm afraid of:

Falling from high places ( actually its the sudden stop at the end that really bothers me!)

Ending up alone and helpless in my old age. Trapped in a nursing home. Tied to machines and unable to communicate my wants, wishes, or needs. Being in pain (and not in a good way).


Spiders, snakes and other creepy crawly things are not a problem. I can either avoid them or kill them as needed.

 

[Juspar Emvan]

I have a mild creepy crawlie phobia. Spiders and Wetas and shit, my toes curl up all by themselves. But no panic attacks or fainting.

I have a healthy fear of heights, I mean, they can be dangerous. But I still go bridge and cliff jumping.

I'm not sure if my fear of failure or success is stronger. Bit of a bugger that one.

But the real fear that fucks with my life in a truely subversive way, is fear of rejection. That's the one that drives sooo many of my actions it's not funny.
