What are you afraid of?

[shootthebandit]

Wasps for me, I hate them so much, they're such hateful annoying creatures

Ditto. Anything that flies and has a stinger on its rear. The asian giant hornet. It has this look of "I want to kill you and then devour your soul!"

fuck me sideways i think i have a new fear. this probably seems like the worst way to die and a mere 30 vs 30000 is ridiculous i was expecting the bees to at least have a fighting chance but no way. if these hornets attacked me id kindly ask a friend to shoot me in the face to avoid a slow painfully stingy death

Intimate situations, cannot stand them, normally i'm secure confident individual with moderate to good social skills, slight bit of intimacy i go all Rajesh Koothrappali.

Other than that trepanning, it is the one medical procedure that i don't think i could go through with, they scrape away a section of your skull and then prod around in you brain, to make thing terrible you have to be conscious for the entire proceedure.

Oh and when i was younger, the tree at the bottom of my garden at night.... completely fine with it during the day, st night it became evil.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

Wasps and hornets are fucking evil.

But on a deeper level I'm scared of anything that permanently fucks with my sense of sight or hearing, or proprioception. Or my fingers. If I lost my sight, or lost a hand, I'd be devastated.

I have some mild anxiety and can convince myself to be afraid of anything that I find remotely plausible if I think about it too much. One time I was scared to start the lawnmower and another time since my family has a minor enemy I was afraid for a week that the car would blow up, even after it was already started thinking it could be time delayed or that it would blow after going 40 MPH or something. I heard a bird chirping at regular intervals exactly like an electronic beep and that made me wig out and leave the car immediately. After the batman theater shooting I went to go see it with my friends and there were only a few people in the theater but I was afraid someone who was late to the crazy party might bust in and shoot up the place anyway. It kind of made the movie suck for me. One time I went to the hospital because I thought I was having heart palpitations but I wasn't. I had had a couple palpitations in the past after drinking way too much coke. It gave me the idea to think about my heart all the time which is what caused it. Now that I think about it, I think I need to think about things less....

If I ever saw a real corpse I would worry it would become a zombie and sit upright to bite me as soon as I got near it. I could never be a mortician.

I'm afraid of being alone in the dark, plausible lightning strikes, something biting my legs off in open water, and social situations.

If I ever started hallucinating anything at all I would totally lose it. I know there's nothing as scary as what I can imagine.

But for the general persistent fears I'd say heights, spiders, strange-looking unidentified bugs and large predatory animals big enough to be threats if they decided to get nasty like a dog or a lion.

For things I'm NOT afraid of; Snakes rats and bats don't freak me out at all and I laugh at people who are afraid of them! Ha! Small spaces and open areas are fine. Being alone or lonely or the idea of having nobody doesn't bother me at all.

If ever there was an actual disaster-esque danger situation like a riot or gunfight breaking out or a tornado, huge fire, earthquake or a hurricane blowing shurikens I would take cover/evacuate and be completely fine. I think I'm mostly only scared of things I wouldn't see coming.

Emus? Those big birdies are so cute. Ostriches though I would worry about angering, but still think they're real cute.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Wasps and bees. Big spiders. Earwigs. Creepypasta.

ive never really seen an ostrich in real life except at zoos and animal parks etc and im so glad i live in a country where they arent wild but these thing really shit me up, a flightless bird the size of (if not bigger than) a fully grown man that can run at incredible speeds, has incredible powerful legs and wings and has a powerful peck. they are just mean mutherfuckers

I saw one while on holiday in Florida at Busch Gardens, those eyes man...

Stares total daggers at you...I still find them kind of cute though.

Those Ostrich like things in Far Cry 3 pissed me off though...

Well, there has been at least one incident on record i remember hearing about where an ostrich managed to snap a lion's neck with a single kick. Of course there have been more common incidents where they just run up on a sleeping lion and kick it in the head and keep running. Actually makes me feel bad for the big kitties. That being said, i still want one as my mount.

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

I find bears cute, dont care how easily they can rip me to shreds...i would still enjoy that final hug

these just got even scarier. my friends all laugh at me when i say id rather go in a cage with a lion than an ostrich but they'll have the last laugh went they die of ostrich related kicks to the face while a big fluffy cat sleeps in the corner of my cage

 

[Ratties]

Always afraid that I may end up killing someone, some day. Really have a hard time not taking things personally. Kind of hold a grudge. Have to say that I won't go looking for trouble, what if someone wants to mug me. Eventually I know that if I got the upper hand, I would probably kill them. Real close call in school with one bully, I am glad somebody yanked me off of him.

 

[Glongpre]

Centipedes but I won't piss myself they are just weird looking.
Heights but again, they just make me feel uneasy like I am going to be pushed off by a gust of wind...
or a person.('.' )( '.')

Not amounting to anything. I should really get out more.

 

[Korica]

Never finding my soul mate. AKA dying alone.

 

[bojackx]

Not much gets to me, except for burglars and just home invaders in general. If I hear a sound downstairs whilst I'm trying to sleep I won't be able to ease up until a solid 5 minutes has passed without another suspicious sound.

 

[TWRule]

Loneliness (whether physically surrounded by others or not). There is no worse hell.

 

[Leemaster777]

Yeah, I'm allergic to bees, so this is more of a totally justified survival instinct.

Also, ladders. Not heights, per se, but ladders. Fine in high buildings, and planes, and that sort of thing. But ladders scare the piss out of me. I've been forcing myself to get over this lately, but if I have the option, I choose the option that DOESN'T put me on a ladder.

Any deep sea creature coming from abyssal depths.

Nuke it from orbit, nuke it from orbit.

To be fair, anyone that ISN'T freaked out by that thing is someone I don't want to meet. Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

 

[Olliesama]

It's irrational since it could never happen (at least a part of it) but being immortal and being buried alive with no escape. No phone, no type of communication, not enough room in the coffin to move properly so no hope of punching it even little by little, I can feel hunger however cannot die by it.

 

[fornever1]

death, permanent injury's, anything to tight around my neck and anything sharp near my eye's.

 

[Olliesama]

Oh, another one that comes to mind but is also equally irrational is to have it made so I never existed.
If you die then at least people remember you, you could leave behind a lot such as children, legacy, meaning and become a legend, symbol or icon.
Being made so you never existed would undo everything I have and could ever do, erase every bit of progress is any ambition, make it so I never met people, never felt anything. No one can remember those that never existed.

Someone post a GIF of a spider jumping at the camera, thank you.
