what are you afraid of

[CosmicStorms]

Moths, I absolutely HATE the little bastards. Even being near one I'll start sweating buckets and I'll run off and refuse to go anywhere near it until I know it's dead.

 

[AnGeL.SLayer]

Honestly, I'm afraid of cows, and swimming in water with fish in it. I love to fish, but I can't be in water with fish in it. The fish in Lake Erie are ballsy man.


>.<'

Whoa whoa whoa, wait. There are FISH in Lake Erie? I thought they'd all died or become mutants by now. I'm always afraid I'll inhale some weird chemical that'll give me cancer later on when I drive into Cedar Point... j/k, a little. The Maumee River's much, much worse...

lol Oh I fish enough to know they are in there...lots of them. Theres nothing quite like doing laps and having a fish run into you. lol *shudders* Not to mention the lake sturgen...they may be rare now a days but they are in there!! *hides under bed*


^_^

 

[sammyfreak]

Insects/Arachnids in close spaces. Swimming in deep dark water. Anarchism.

I'd be more afraid of lake trout, they have 3 rows of teeth on their top jaw! but I didn't think fish were that close to shore in any of the great lakes. I swim in superior allthe time and my only fear is frostbite damn that lake is cold
I forgot Muskelunge...I am afraid of alotof things

 

[Kraj]

People who like white noise. Those kind of people who practically have a television or radio attached to the lightswitch when they walk into the door. Always playing something their not listening to or watching just for the noise of. This is beyond a dislike, its a real fear. I get incredibly uncomfortable after discovering someone is like that, I really don't know why.
The other fear I have is parenthood. That scares the shit out of me. I hate kids, "kids love me" but oh man I hate children and fear parenthood like a slug fears salt.


-afterthought I might have a fear of commitment, and overweight people too. "though i can't really tell if its fear or just dislike"

 

[Evilbunny]

I am afraid of sharks. I hate the idea that I could just be swimming along and something comes from under me and pulls me down. I am especially afraid of bull sharks. Those fuckers can survive in salt water or fresh water. They can swim up rivers for miles! Those things can go anywhere and they attack people unprovoked for no goddamn reason!

 

[hobob]

needles, Swimming at the beach at night, the thought of a spider biting me while i sleep

 

[Anarchemitis]

...Swimming in deep dark water. Anarchism.

Also my fear and whatawha?

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Large men called 'Steve' who work in Games Workshop.

Sweaty, balding, petty and possessed of an encyclopediac knowledge of pointless trivia and limitless quantities of bile and spite.

 

[Emmitt_Nervend]

My fear of spiders is pretty debilitating. Not just spiders, pretty much anything with more than six legs.

I also have a random fear of loud machines (mostly industrial air ventilation systems). I'm just not a big fan of being near things that sound like they could explode at any second.

I understand your fear completely. Just the sight of a bug and I'm on top of the table screaming like a housewife who spotted a mouse.

Funny thing is, mice, snakes, and bats don't bother me at all. I'd get pet bats if they didn't crap everywhere, my condo board forbids snakes and mice.

my friend has a pet bat, it sleeps in his shirt (pocket)

I forgot table saws. This is a recent fear but I was cutting some wood and it kicked back on me and the wood flew a good 20 feet and scared me shi**less

 

[Gooble]

The typical thing of spiders, for no particular reason, it's just been built in to me since I was tiny.

Heights, although only man-made heights...I'm fine on mountains and stuff, just seems I don't trust our own constructions.

I also have a BIG fear of the unknown-I'm fine with slasher movies and the like, but any ghost/alien/supernatural type horrors scare the crap out of me; this is also why, like the above, I don't like swimming in lakes/rivers etc., fear of what lies beneath.

Ah, and clowns...I'm not actually scared of them, but they are quite creepy.

And to all those people saying about zombie attacks: this is going to sound weird, but an apocalyptic-type event which means I/me + very few people are left alive, fighting to survive (being against zombies or just in general) somehow appeals to me, and I don't know why...

Rocks float in the Maumee River. I've seen it happen. Dead serious.

I also don't believe I've ever seen a living fish in lake Erie. That might be because I live right next to a Nuclear Power plant...

 

[poleboy]

I have a fear of having my major arteries cut open, my wrists most of all. Makes sense, now that I think about it. Also I am scared of definitive, irreversible death. But who isn't?

 

[CarrierII]

I'm scared of letting my friends down, or being killed without being able to save them T_T

I don't know why my nightmares always happen to my friends (within the nightmare), but I can tell you, it sucks.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Bees, hornets and any insect that flies and stings.

This is my fear, but only in situations where they are in physical contact with me, or trapped in a room with me (which increases the likelihood of them touching me). Outside, or in a case of some sort, I actually find them interesting; however, if actually touching me, I have a bit of a freak-out attack. If Mr. Bug is on me, Mr. Bug needs to get off me or Mr. Bug goes squish.

BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are a threat to everyone and everything

That reminds me of playing Oblivion. I could handle most Daedra, could obliterate bandits, never any issue with minotaurs or whatnot... but when I saw a bear I ran very quickly in the other direction. Those things could have brought down Mehrunes Dagon.

"Bears to the left of me, Daedra to the right, here I am... stuck in the middle with you"

 

[Duck Sandwich]

- Being alone outside when it's dark out.

- Any situation where you are required to deal with people in which you can easily make an idiot of yourself by not saying the right thing, or not wording something properly (ie, a job interview)

- Going for long periods of time without being with friends.

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

I can't really think of anything that would be very appropriate here of the top of my head. I used to be scared of spiders but now I just crush them with my awesome power.

 

[CatcherJJ]

Those huge-ass centipedes that are near a foot long. Other than that, nothing much. Spiders creep me out slightly, but but not like those goddam centipedes.

Edit: Public Speaking. It Kills me.
