What Are You Afraid Of?

I'm afraid of the dark. And I may be confronting it soon. Gosh, help me.

On another note, I feel like there might be a thread like this already. But, I'm also scared of going that deep into Hip to find it.

I'm just going to play with my flashlight, and hope for the best.

 

Thunderstorms, Voldemort, and extremely wide-open spaces.

 

death. i also have a conditional fear of heights. it's hard to explain exactly, if i'm strapped in or on solid ground up high i'm fine, but if i'm not secured and i don't entirely trust whatever i'm standing on, i freeze up. which, as i reread this, just seems smart, but it's not really, i just don't know how to better explain it.

 

My ex bae seeing me with new bae and stabbing me to death

 

For Years I Thought It Was Claustraphobia But In Recent Times I Realise It's A Fear Of Being Trapped.

Quite Happy To Crawl Into A Confined Space But If My Shirt Gets Caught On Something I Tremble

And Sweat Profusely In Some Kind Of Panic For Half An Hour.



Cheers Glen.

 

I will not sleep in the dark. So, I guess I must be scared of it. lol

I'm scared of falling down stairs and breaking another bone. If I happen to just fall walking along and break a bone, I won't know its coming so I'm not scared of that. Its a complicated place in my head.

Other than that, I'm good.

i like things to always be the same



losing people is one of the worst things for me to deal with



also kidney stones

 

Drowning in Cold Deep Water

I’m a strong swimmer but on one occasion I swam out too far at Crane Beach and on another occasion got caught in a rip current at Duxbury beach and thought I’d never make it back to shore.

Ended up ¼ of a mile down the beach from my blanket - scared shit-less.

I'm not really scared of death per se, but I am terrified of leaving my child behind. I lost my dad at a young age so I think that's where that comes from.

Heights.

People.

 

a Trump presidency ..

 

I used to have barophobia, which is a fear of gravity, but I got over it.

 

I survived the blackout!
Yay, me!

I'm still deadly scared of the dark, though. At least, I'm not calling it, "The Darkness", like it has a personality of its own.

As for everyone who answered, thank you. It was quite the read.
Two people said losing the ones they love, mind you. That should say something.

 

You know what also used to scare me, but not anymore is Pat from SNL. I was going through that "Walk Into A bar" thread and saw Pat. All the memories came flooding back. I also was scared of claymation, which the other comedy channel... I think on Fox would show. Don't remember the name of it. I'm not scared anymore, but more or less freaked the fuck out.

 

I have boobphobia. My therapist says I need lots of exposure therapy. Any nice girls on here who'd be willing to help me face my greatest fear?

To get suffocated by a set of 44 DDs must be the ultimate in fear

I just googled Pat, and I can see where that would freak out a young child. Lots of characters from TV used to scare me when I was young.

 

mostly its the really bad situations that can and do result from people hating logic and consideration.
and how people can possibly not realize what kind of fate they're tempting by doing so.

 

Lately I've been freaking myself out by worrying that I might have some form of cancer (ovarian, liver) and I won't find out about it until it is too late. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, though, so I'm trying not to let these thoughts get out of hand.

 

Do you have a reason to think this way?

I hope all is good.

A few years ago, I found out I had precancerous cells, but my body got rid of them. So, if the doctor found precancerous cells, I wouldn't worry too much.
