    I just fear pain, plain and simple. not death, not bugs, heights, the dark, or pointy things, but pain. if it doesn't hurt me (or anyone else), it probably doesn't bother me.

    My worst fear use to be Churches, but earlier this year I had a knife held to my neck. So I'd say knives are my worst fear now <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":0" border="0" alt="wow.gif" />

    I don't really have a "fear" of anything. Im naturally afraid for my own safety, but no fear applied to any 1 thing in particular. Though I do have an aversion to buzzing insects, more of a reflex though.

    Spiders D: . If I see one in my room, there's no way I can do anything else before I've utterly destroyed it. First I use one as ranged weapon as possible to kill it, then I use something big, heavy and/or mean to eviscerate the remains.

    Also the thought of being buried alive, or getting into a similar situation (tight, closed space), is an absolutely horrifying thought.

    my worst fear is that someday i'll drive my car over a kid. i'm not a reckless or lousy driver or anything, and ive never even been close to driving over someone. still, even the thought just freaks the ish out of me.

    another fear i can think of is this: some kid is going to run by me and get a lit cigarette straight at his/her eye before i stop it from happening

    ooh! all that talk of the HL shark thingies reminds me... I'm terrified of water I can't see the bottom of and anything big enough to swallow me.

    I once went on a boat trip abroad to see some humpback whales. It was amazing... the sun shone down hot and cheerful on a clear blue sea that shimmered like glass. Little shoals of glinting fishes darted alongside the boat with the light sparkling off their scales as they turned to and fro. We even got to see some playful dolphins gaggling about who followed us for a while, happily scoffing down any food thrown to them by the passengers despite our guide's half-hearted protests not to feed the fish.

    It was shortly after our encounter with the friendly dolphins that the tour guide perked up and babbled something in his indecipherable foreign language, pointing off into the distance, and following his finger you could see a sudden spurt of water hissing into the air from what almost looked like a hazardous moving island.

    The boat quickly closed in on it and before I knew it the water beneath us darkened, filled with the vision of a gigantic humpback whale. The blue-gray giant dwarfed the little ricketty boat easily as it plowed slowly through the water like some ancient leviathan and while it was exciting, my heart was beating fast as much out of fear as awe. You could've reached out and touched it's shiny, barnacle-encrusted skin (well... with a bit of stretching I guess).
    Next to it's impossibly huge size we seemed so small and defenseless... it would've taken only one moment of the drifting monster absent-mindedly changing direction and we'd be in Davy Jones locker no doubt.
    The idea of being killed by something so easily because you're so small was terrifying when such a moment is laid out right infront of you like that. Scared the heck out of me :s

    Being alone. Not in a cosmic sense (although I certainly do not enjoy that), but more in the sense that there is noone else in a room but me. If I'm in a room by myself (especially if it's dark like if the power's out) and I don't have anything (tv, computer, book) to distract myself I will start to get really really nervous and sometimes outright terrified for no logical reason. Every creak becomes ominous and every shadow has some terrible thing hiding in it. It's not as bad now, but when I was much younger I could not even go to bed without having my head under the covers literally shivering in fear almost every night because there wasn't someone else in my room.

    Luckily my fear is at least easily kept at bay with a radio or television. When the power in my house goes out though, I usually can't help myself from freaking out. It's a very odd fear I think.

    fears include:
    -the thought of being disabled, esp losing my sight. there are people around the world who get along while being disabled in various ways but... it really frightens me.
    -things not working out for whatever reason, losing jobs and living in a constant state of hunger, longing, and uncertainty for all my adult life..

    Don't be silly, America doesn't let stuff like that happen to people in the armed forces. Why, just ask those nice Vietnam veterans who are under the overpass every day with those cheery cardboard signs and their debilitating physical injuries! They always seem really willing to talk whenever I walk past with my fresh baked daily loaf of bread from the bread store.

    Hmmmm, well okay. I'll try to keep it short.

    I got home at 3 in the morning after some partying and I hear 2 girls screaming upstairs (which isn't that uncommon for living in a fraternity house). I ran up the stairs to see what the screaming was about and there was a man holding a knife at these two random girls. He heard me running up the stairs and grabbed me as soon as he saw me, and held the knife to my neck and told me he was going to kill me. My first reaction should have been some self defense, but I was about 12 beers deep. Instead I just listened to him and tried to calm him down. It turns out he was at the house because his younger sister called and said she was being raped. As he sat there and told me he was going to kill me, my buddy heard the two of us yelling back and forth and he looked up stairs and saw what was happening. He called the police and they were at the house within two minutes. The police cam and tasered him, and now he's in jail for attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and paraphernalia (f***in meth head!) His sister was never at our house (the police searched every room), so I'm not sure if she was really being raped or not...



    Before the police got there I did manage to slip away from him and run into my room to grab a bat. My only regret is that I didn't beat the s**t out of him with the bat....oh well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    I tend to be the same way... I don't even understand why. I'm not really afraid of pain or death or vile monsters, that'd actually be pretty cool. I just get so unnerved.

    Confined spaces, with no forseeable means to escape are a bad thing for me. I used to be intensely claustrophobic after being locked in a cupboard as a "joke" at middle school. Good joke, locking an 8 year old in a cupboard until they're crying and screaming so loud that everyone in the whole building can hear.
    It's subsided now, to the point where only if there's no forseeable escape, then I really start to freak...

    I don't have vertigo per se, however, I do freak at VERTICAL height, as in looking directly downwards over an area, to the point where I had trouble going down a spiral staircase at one point. Anything up to about 10 feet I can handle, because I have dropped from 10 feet before, and walked from it with nothing wrong. Anything over that, and I start to go wobbly. Anything over 100 feet, and I refuse to look over it. Anything over 200 feet, and I need to be forced to look at anything more than about 60-70 degrees. 300 feet, and I SERIOUSLY freak if I look down. L'Arc de Triomphe? Wobbly... La Toure Eiffel? Freaking out of my skull...
    Millennium Eye? Wouldn't even go on the sodding thing. It'd've taken a small army to get me on that thing...

    I have something new. Theres a video on YouTube thats not terrifying, but really strange, unsettling, and it made my skin crawl.

    I won't post a link, since its very NSFW, but if you are so inclined, go to YouTube and search for "Spongebab". Should be the first link. You have the correct one if the spongebob theme starts and theres a hand. Just... well, with any video on the internet, be sure to turn your volume down.

    Seriously though, eff'd up stuff.

    I have a crippling fear of outhouses. I guess it's not the outhouse itself that frightens me, but the idea of placing my tender bottom on a filthy seat over what basically amounts to a sh*t filled hole in the ground that's probably festering with spiders and other nasties that are ready to crawl into my unprotected anus and oh screw it I'll just hold it in for a few days. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    I also hate deep water with a passion.

    I have a fear of Oblivion, I don't want to fall away into an infinite sleep and lose my consciousness. I also don't believe in any after lives whatsoever, basically once you die, that's it. I'd rather live till the end of the universe then give up my consciousness and never think again.

    Also, those freakishly huge killer millipedes / centipedes scare the crap out of me...too many legs...
