Sorry if this has been done before, but I'm curious to know what people's biggest fear are?

Me, it's heights and the dark. I can't stand the dark. :p

tornados
traveling in an airplane
elevators (or any closed in space)
chickens and other big birds
snakes
being in a very large crowd of people

(Come to think of it, I have a fairly phobic personality)

Bees and wasps. Big bumble bees used to scare the dickens out of me, after one chased me into the house and then bumped against the glass patio doors for a few minutes after I went in, but I'm not so afraid of them anymore. But wasps give me the major creeps.

I'm afraid of heights a little bit, not too bad. Flying in an airplane doesn't bother me, and if there is a fence between me and the height it is OK, but if I am up a ladder, I panic and freeze and have a hard time getting back down.

I agree totally with this list. #4 would be spiders and bees but the three you mentioned are definitely my biggest fears. (I can't even stand to watch someone on a ladder or rooftop for fear that I might see them fall.)

Flying on planes (I had the fear long before 9-11)... I cannot stand it. The longest flight I've ever been on was only around 2 hours and I was a nervous wreck the whole time. Thank goodness my mother hates flying also so when we go on family vacations it's almost always a road trip. :D Spiders also give me the creeps... I am almost always worried about them being in my bed when I go to sleep at night :rolleyes: And public speaking... yikes... that scares me... And of course I would never want to lose someone I love :( I don't even want to think about that...

I forgot to add what I'm paranoid about lol. Whenever I leave the house for a long time, and my pets are alone I get worried. Like when I was camping a couple weeks ago. I had been gone for hours, and the rats were alone (Timber was with me). I realized that I had forgot to put the piece of wood between my two windows so no one could open them from the outside. My room is sooo easy to break into, you just climb up the fence and onto the roof. So I was freaking out. I was thinking that some one would break in and make my babies suffer horrible deaths.

And then I thought, what if there's a fire? What if they are in my room, and they burn to death!? :eek: If they try and get out of their cages but can't and I' not there to save them, and they are calling for me?!

Ahk, just thinking about this now is making me really sad, I'm almost crying lol. I have to go check the rats :p

Umm....I'm kind of pathetic...I'm quite the paranoid person....

Heights don't bother me all the time, but if I feel I have a chance of falling, I'm scared to death. At parts hiking up to the top of Mt. Timpanogos I was getting really paranoid.

Flying makes me nervous....but I've only flown once, and it was to Idaho, so not too far....

I used to LOVE bugs as a kid, they didn't scare me at all. I still like most bugs (praying mantis are the best!) but I HATE spiders. Not too long ago there was a spider on the wall above my bed (a large one too). I got up the guts to get a tissue and kill it, but the problem is, I tried and didnt get him.......so he fell...IN my bed! I screamed, lol...and then I lifted my pillow to find him, and he jumped out and I screamed again....at this point my dad came in and I had him kill it! :o

I'm absolutely terrified of speaking in public! And I wouldn't say I'm "afraid" to be in a group of large people, but it makes me uncomfortable...most of the time.

Just the thought of natural disasters freak me out.....especially Earthquakes......and Fire.......oh yeah, I'm kind of afraid of water too. Like, I love lakes/streams etc....love to wade in them.....but DEEP water, ack, that scares the crap out of me! If you've ever been to Yellowstone........some of those super deep blue pools that you can see clear to the bottom, those send chills down my spine when I look into them! I never really learned how to swim, so that's obviously a part of it! :o

And I really should not think about things so often. Just if my parents/family/friends go somewhere far, or if they are late, I'm constantly thinking what could have happened........quite often, for no apparent reason I'll think, "What if that's the last time I'll see him/her?"

I REALLY need to stop worrying so much!!

Biggest fear: Anything happening to my family..including the critters but most especially Joey since he's in Kuwait right now.

A fire in the apartment building. *knock on wood*

Driving...I hate it. actually, driving is ok, it's all those other cars that freak me out.

I'm not afaid of insects or critters in the house(ie. roaches or mice) because cats will take care of it.

That's about it, I think.

04-28-2003, 01:29 AM
I am scared of heights, very small elevators, spiders, insects, fire.

I am not scared of flying, I only hate the "take-off" and "landing"! I always pinch my hubby's arm then...! So, I am looking forward to my long flight to San Fransisco this summer (about 12 hours or more..)!!

LOL! That's what I like the most about flying! :D I was lucky a few years ago, (before 11th Sep.) to be allowed on the flightdeck during landing, that was quite an experience! I had 5 straps on. :eek:

I'm not actually afraid of fire, but of wearing clothes which easily burn, as I was burned quite badly in 1971.

I used to be a fairly good climber, but these days, I don't care too much for heights, my legs go all jelly when I look down - at least if there's no fence!

My biggest fear is that something will happen to my Brian.

Other than that......the only thing that comes to mind is Dalmatians. Some lady came in to work with one off-leash (who appeared to be very well-behaved) and I had to go outside until they left!

Oh yeah, and driving. I HATE driving.

Heights
Bugs, parasites, & spiders
Death
Injury
Pain
Fires
Losing loved ones
Speaking in front of people
Car/plane accidents
Water

Once when I was a kid, we used to go in this lake at camp. One day I brought goggles (the kind that hold my nose because it hurts my nose when I jump in) and I wa dared to look at the bottom. But I couldn't, it freaked me out too much what might be down there!:eek:

I HATE heights. Never will. I wnet rock-climbing once, looked down to tell the guy I wanted off, and geez it was soo far down, so of course I just let go (which caught the guy by suprise) and got off of there!
I used to like flying, but then I watched 'Nightmare at 20,000 feet', which is an episode of the old Twighlight Zone, and have never flown in stormy weather since. As for planes in general, I hate the take-off and the landing too, when we take off, I'll usually cling to the seat and start getting all paranoid. Same with landing. But after that, as long as I sleep straight through it, and don't look out the window, I'll live.

04-29-2003, 04:55 PM
I think the only thing I'm really afraid of are spiders.

I've actually been reading a lot about how to overcome fears like these. Maybe I'll do it, then I wouldn't be afraid of ANYTHING. As it should be. ;)

primabella
04-29-2003, 07:02 PM
Clowns are also scary :eek: Not all of the, mainyl just the oens with heavy make-up. Ever since I saw "It the Clown" when I was about 10 (I walked in when they showed the scariest part of the movie and it traumatized me!) I saw the movie about 3 years ago again and it made me cringe. I just don't like them.

I forgot about clowns they scar the crap out of me, i got chased home by one befor, it was evil I swear!!! :eek:

04-29-2003, 07:12 PM
Yeah, clowns are scary. I also am terrified of the Easter Bunny. A last year I worked in the mall part-time for extra $. Well, the Easter Bunny was friends with my manager who's a kook and a blast. Well, he knew I had a phobia of the Easter Bunny, so he had me take out the trash one evening and as I came back in the hallway to our back door, I was chased and attacked by that EVIL RABBIT. This one was especially evil looking. The damned thing chased me all the way into the store and I ended up embarrassed and in tears. Ya know, I still owe him one...

Im not really scared of anything....
BUT... I get soooo scared riding the ACROPHOBIA at Six Flags!!!

I would never really ride the Free Fall before the Acrophobia... I guess my fear would be falling... OR WAITING TO FALL.... cause the feeling I would get is soooo bad... SCARY...

And the first time I rode acrophobia.... I freaked out... I don't know why i even got on that thing... when I got to the top.. my heart was beating soo hard that I REALLY thought I was going to have a heart attack!! and then... we fell.. 161 feet... I was so scared i could not scream... then.. after it was all over I was shaking so bad that I could not get out of my seat.. Eric had to undo my seat belt and pull me out..... everyone was pointing at me..
I still ride it and it is REALLY HELPED me to get over that fear!!!!!!

Here is a pic if you havn't heard of the ride.... sorry it is so big

When I was little I was TERRIFIED of fork-lifts in hardware/lumber yards! Oh geeze, when I would hear the *beep-beep* back up noise I would scream and cry.

HA HA HA, too funny!! :D :D :D :D :p :p :p
