what's your biggest fear? like a phobia...

mine is water, like pool water. well it used to be. i couldn't swim cuz i like started panicking everytime i tried and finally my dad was like "ok, ur taking swimming classes and that's that!" so i took em-i felt so...weird, i was like 14 and everyone else was like 5. lol...but i learned. i'm not that great, but i know how to now and if i were to like fall into a pool, i'd have no trouble.

i also have a fear of dark alleys. :)

Being murdered.... it terrifys me to think of dying a painful death like that.

I have got a phobia over cockroaches, especially the big ones that fly. In the south we have the fat ones that fly. Boy do I feel lucky living down south. Usually people look at me like I'm a psycho if I start hypervenalating at the site of a roach. *sinks in chair at all the crazy looks being given to me* lol

That's one of my big fears too. I don't want to think about what murder victims go through in their final moments. It's too awful to think about. That's why I'm for the death penalty. I feel that if a person intentionally murders another person, then they should know how it feels to have your life taken from you.

I'm scared of getting raped, something that happened to me when I was 14 brought the fear to me. I never go out alone anymore I have to be with family or friends, it was very traumatizing.


I'm very sorry to hear that.

I don't know what I'm afraid of....insects, I guess.
I'm not really terrified of 'em--It's not like I have a
phobia or anything.All my fears are just typical things
that would scare anyone.

spiders, being murdered

I hear ya on the spiders, J! *SHIVERS* :eek:

I'm okay if I see the teeny ones, or Daddy-Long-Legs, cause you can barely see those. But once they start gettin' BIG and HAIRY---**MORE SHIVERS**

*CHILLS*

Nuh-uh, I can't take that! I remember goin' to the Louisville Zoo a couple of years ago and just innocently strollin' along to the giraffe house with my friend. Once we got in I turned around, and there in the wall were all the giant, hairy tarantulas!! :eek: Needless to say I jumped right back---but it was like a train wreck, somethin' possessed me to steal glances (I'm sure if they hadn't been encased in glass I wouldn't have done that).

This is insane.

I can't even look at a freakin' big spider on TV! I don't even like typin' out these words that identify 'em! :lol: :crazy: One of my friends used to torture me by findin' a picture of this huge one and thrustin' it in my face---nope, I can't even look at one in a book!

The "Sn-Sz" Encyclopedia was horrible---if I accidentally flipped over the "Spider" entry, there was a huge picture of a tarantula (God, I really hate typin' those words---makes me think that if I keep typin' 'me, I'll see one or somethin', lol), along with several other ones.

NOT fun.

Uuuggh...*tries to shake off chills*

JWillhight, we may be 11 inches apart in our heights, but we're both blond and share the same phobia. lol

Clowns

I'm scared of tons of things--mind you, most of them are really weird...

My worst fear is getting lower than an A on my report card. It's like some obsessive thing, I HAVE to get straight A's or I feel like a failure.

A very close second worst fear is worms. They frighten me beyond belief. I've had several traumatizing (at the time) experiences that left me in constant fear of worms. Like when I was four I thought that there was a worm in my ear. (Hey, I was four...) And when I was little, I HAD to have a light on at night because in the dark I thought I saw worms covering my floor. Anyway, I don't exactly know WHAT I think they'll do to me... but they just scare me. Like, I catch the bus at 6:40 in the morning, so in the winter it's dark when I go out. On rainy days I freak out because I'm afraid I'll step on a worm that I won't be able to see in the dark... I'm some sort of freak, aren't I?

Another thing I'm deathly afraid of is tornadoes. When I was nine, I was home alone when the tornado sirens went off, and I've been freaked out about them ever since.

Another big fear is that I'll be in the bathroom and someone will jump out at me from behind the shower curtain. I dunno, I'm strange... Everytime I go into a bathroom with a shower, the first thing I do is check the shower just to make sure...

The last big one is looking at mirrors or windows in the dark. Not sure why. The "Bloody Mary" thing never really scared me (Because it doesn't work...), so I have no clue why. But I still just can't look at a mirror in the dark.

Now that you know I'm just a big freak scared of the stupidest things (I mean, really, who starts hyperventilating when her Geometry grade drops to a 98? Besides me, that is), I'll just go away now....

OMG same with me you have no idea how scared I am the week before report cards come out. Actually you have no idea how scared I am when I'm school. Oh and by the way I don't hyperventalate (sp?) when I get a 98....although I get anxiety attacks when I get anything lower than a 96. (I get lots of anxiety attacks).

That sounds like me too. Late at night, I'm sitting in the living room and I'll go look out the window. At times I think when I go look out the window I will see some grotesque creature on the outside looking right back at me. Okay, I have apparently been watching Nightmare @ 20,000 feet more then I should have been.

Losing family or someone very close to me
Death(I know we all go sooner or later but the thought or dying scares me to death)

I'm scared of dying in a fire and/or explosion. And I'm also scard of Annie Potts dying. The day she does I will hide in my corner for eternity. AND BEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh my laudie they scare me (not Lauren Laudie I say oh my laudie insteada oh my lord)

My worst fear is living a life unexplored, never reaching my potential...
Shying away from my hopes, my dreams...
The passions that will leave me fulfilled spiritually....
