Weird? Who wouldn't be afraid of the idea of an almighty being wich destroys and torment anyone he don't like for all eternity?

My demons is my anger. It don't get out all that often, but when it gets out I'm scary. Seriously, last year 50 students saw me as a ticking bomb aften an incident with my glasses.

Safety railings over large drops. At 6'6" they are almost always below my center of gravity so one good shove and I'm gone. Seriously they need to make those things like a foot taller each.

Also, the fear of being forgotten/leaving no impact on the world. (though the fall mentioned above might leave a good crater :p)

I'm not certain of what I'm afraid of beyond the normal stuff, meaning death, losing loved ones and such. I guess one could say that one of my inner demons is that I thrive on vice and feeling like shit; it's as if I sometimes feel good when I feel low, because I'm low.

That sounded awfully a lot like the Xzibit meme.

Edit: After some contemplation, I've cocluded that I do fear going through life without accomplishing something. My name doesn't necessarily have to be shouted across the world, but some form of legacy would be nice. Yay kids.

I have things that I am afraid of - insects, darkness, water, confined spaces. But I don't consider them personal demons, just regular old phobias. My own personal demon is the mental health problems that I have endured for 15 years now and which show no sign of ever letting me have oeace - indeed I am experiencing and increase in severity at the moment. That is a demon.

Well, to tell you the truth...I'm damn SCARED SHITLESS by terrorists. Having nearly gotten my entire family killed by terrorists in close shaves, I hate them but they also scare me to no ends...What are your personal demons?
How'd they nearly get you?

I'm scared of quite a few things actually, Balding (as my brother and uncle are bald), the ocean (as you lack the control you would on land and can't see what's underneath you, not to mention there's alot of shit we don't know about hiding down there), the dark (okay, its not as simple as 'the dark', darkness doesn't scare me but my mind is creative enough on its own to translate every visible shred in sight into something more vicious), my mind itself is a nice center of fear for me...

hmmm... probably quite a few others.

I'm afraid of the future. Right now I love technology - but I fear skynet or similar.

Even if technology doesn't wipe up out through military means - it will still have a major effect on us surrogates style in which many people will cease existing outside a virtual realm.

There is also the problem of youth today not learning, computers have spellchecks etc to handle all the reading, writing and arithmetic means. They can also search any question and find the answer instantly. They gain the data but lack the knowledge and understanding of the information.

This is what I fear!

I'm really scared of hurting my fingers, hands or arms. As a musician, that wouldn't go down well.
I agree. That and going deaf. Music is,besides friends and family, my most cherished object.

Hekatoncheir, cool guy, likes playing volleyball with golems.

No, I'm too laid back to worry about stuff.

I am uncertain what I fear... there's a lot of it and that is a problem.
Psychiatrists call it Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I've got meds for it :S

Rejection is of course a big one tho.

rejection, i don't handle it well. not handling it well has resulted in me being terribly shy, resulting in being alone, and then maybe biggest fear, dying alone...it's a horrible cycle.

i'm terrified to lose my family. I've been dealing with depression for 12+ years, and the only thing that has got me by is that i could never hurt my family by doin something drastic. if i lose them, i will be devastated, and then i will lose the last life-line i'm clinging to.

damn, i'm really bumming myself out.

I am my personal demon. The things I know, learn, and want to learn... worry me a little. My interests aren't likely to change, so I must constantly regulate myself and my actions, because I'd rather not hurt anyone I care about. Nor would I want to go back on my personal guidelines. I'm me, and I'm not changing, dammit. Not even for myself.

Ummm, let's see, I've got no confidence, no self-esteem, no discipline, I'm apathetic, depressed, misanthropic, I can remember a lot of times where I've been wrong/embarassed, over and over again, etc, etc.

I also.... don't really care about spiders anymore.

The dark doesn't really affect me either.

I'm scared that my OCDs finally will get me. They've been damn close a couple of times.

Also, I'm sad about being very bad at getting friends.

I have A personal demon. His name is Serrant, and he's all the bad things inside me, which are, alternatively, all the things I hate to love about myself. Alternatively alternatively, he also works as my inner scrutiny and as my public face, as he is extremely well educated.

Yes, my parents did NOT love me.
