what scares you?

[go-10]

1. SPIDERS

2. sometimes I think that when your life flashes before your eyes before you die is true, and the reason we experience 'deja vu' is because at this very moment we are all about to die, a worldwide wipe out is coming in a matter of seconds however the collective "flashing of lives before our eyes" has broken the time barrier and we are instead re-living our lives eventually it'll all end and the final second of the world will come to pass, the more deja vu's you have the closer you are to that end

Wasps.
On this earth, there are many beautiful things. Of those beautiful things, many can hurt you. But not wasps. They're the worst of both worlds. They're absolotely hideous creatures, and not only can they hurt you, they are simply looking for an excuse to bring pain to others.
Oh, and if you think that Spiders are similar, let me explain spider wasps.
Spider Wasps (which are luckily not spider/wasp combinations) are named for their primary food source, and the means to which they reproduce. A spider wasp injects its arachnid prey with a paralyzing venom that disables all mobile functions. The spider itself remains concious. The wasp then drags the spider to it's nest, where it lays eggs on the spider's abdomen. When the eggs hatch, the newly born spider wasps begin to feed on the spider while it's still alive. It can't move, it can't defend itself, it just has to sit with the horror that it is being eaten alive.
Oh, and horrific distortions of the human form can also be truly frightening.

 

[putowtin]

Not to belittle anyone's phobias, but I tend to have more rational fears.
Failure, women, my future, commitment, disappointment...stuff along that line.

why do your fears all point to a relationship?

 

[Section Crow]

spiders

there are some other things but i prefer to only mention this fear

 

[Redryhno]

Anyone under the age of 12, just can't stand to be around them, they scare the shit out of me

 

[ZehMadScientist]

I am terrified of snakes. And Amnesia: the Dark descent. *Shivers*

 

[Zeraki]

Growing old... and Slender Man.

I remember having recurring dreams when I was younger, where I would be stalked by something similar to the Slender Man... the day I found out about the story it blew my mind. I know it's just some made up story, but it's still creepy how something I used to dream about had an actual legend behind it.

 

[Michael Hirst]

Stuff I have little to no control over. Disease, Fire, Drowning combined with tight spaces.

Physical things that I can attack I have little problem with, well I'm not horrified by them.

 

[Emilox The Great]

People, horrible things, they judge you and hurt you and abandon you when you need them, etc.
Spiders, THEY. HAVE. TOO. MANY. LEGS. ITS NOT NATURAL!
The multi-faced Hrathbog snatchers,

uh pardon me for asking, but whats going on with the fear of loneliness?
I dont get it, i love being alone, i spent the first 10 years of my life alone.
Granted, it effed up me up on a mental scale.

SCREAMING TOENAILS.

 

[Axyun]

Well, two things: 1) Growing old and being decrepit, bed ridden, fed from a tube etc.

Spoiler: 2) Smile Dog

My God, I don't know why but that picture just made me crack up. I'm still giggling as I type this.

 

[kaioxs]

Nothing at all... seriously i am a bad ************...
well...
just maybe Goblin Sharks, seriously do an image search. i think its the 1st picture that is scary as hell. I do not want to meet that while skinny dipping.

 

[deserteagleeye]

Uncanniness. Slenderman, puppets, poorly made androids, and clowns. I say "clowns" because they aren't really humans. They just aren't.

 

[snappydog]

I used to be afraid of Pi, but then I realised it was irrational.

HA

OT: Used to have a thing for running deep water 'cos I once capsized in a kayak and got my foot stuck so I was stuck underwater until somebody realised something was wrong and pulled me out. That was pretty bad. Otherwise I'm okay with most things, although anything that falls into the Uncanny Valley, including clowns WHO ON EARTH DECIDED THEY WERE FUNNY, creeps me out like nobody's business. Oh, and well-written creepypastas/ scary stories, but those are pretty few and far between.

 

[neon flame]

My main fear is kind of odd, but it's falling; not heights specifically, just moving downwards. I get nervous on down escalators and don't like jumping. The one time I went on a zipwire I full on panicked :/

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

Drowning, and Heights; but not something like being in a plane, I mean standing on a tall mountain with only a tiny guard rail keeping you from falling off the cliff.

 

[KelsieKatt]

Cockroaches, spiders, and various other not-tiny bugs.

I also have a huge phobia of deep, dark-blue, open ocean water and the various creatures that inhabit it, especially sharks. This fear in particular has caused me to pass out from panic attacks before.

Otherwise, there's not much else, although, I've been pretty fucking creeped out by some of the things I've seen in my nightmares before. What I really want to know is why the hell my mind thinks up this kind of stuff, some of the things my brain comes up with could rival the old Silent Hill games... :| Is there something wrong with me?

It's actually pretty hard to scare me most of the time otherwise as I have a very high tolerance.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Mainly spiders. They have waaay too many legs and I'm telling you they're up to no good!

The ocean too, not so much the shallow side of the ocean, but the deep deep part. Also, I will freak out if I'm dragged in the ocean. A friend of mine did that and I flipped out every time something brushed against my leg, and felt like an idiot later when I found out it was seaweed.

 

[Monkeybald]

Razor blades, box cutters, pen knives, exacto blades, and small sharp pieces of metal.

 

[JoJo]

Other people, especially small children, going near moving cars. I was having a driving lesson today and I has a shock when a 4 or 5 year old girl ran up to a crossing I was about to go pass, luckily it was just so she could press the button. It's probably because I had a nightmare when I was young about watching other people being run over by cars. Other than that... the more typical death, torture and loss of loved ones. Loss of moral integrity would be pretty crushing too as then about 2/3 of my life would be gone in one fell swoop.
