What is everybody's fears?

Driving a car like what Farkas has. :lolguy:

 

Heights aren't my thing either. Just the thought of falling like out of a window on the 30th floor somewhere drives me nuts.

 

Drowning comes into play as well.

 

I'm sure there are other things but just can't think of them at the moment.

I hate big spiders and being up off the ground where I know I'm not protected. Like others have said, I can stand atop the Empire State building and look down, but going up the ladder to hang Christmas lights makes me very uneasy.

 

The one thing that I truly dislike are looking at sunken/run aground ships. Like watching things on the Titanic where they show it sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic or seeing that Italian cruise liner on its side a few months ago makes my skin crawl. I love boats and being on the water, but seeing stuff like that just creeps me out.

Having to start from scratch. Having nothing, no means to get it, and being without opertunity.

 

Growing up, we didn't have much. I swore I would not live that way as a grown up. Now I realize, I'm just a big kid who likes toys. But, I feel I live comfortably and well. Did I mention that I'm currently homeless? True story.

So you live in an Rx7 down by the river?

No, there's more room in the Subaru.

 

Seriously though. I have the mans to get a place when I get back to the state. Having a great girlfriend and countless awesome friends that have told me I can stay with them, that is nice too.

Parents death and trains. I have no idea where the train fear came from but I hate them. They make me super paranoid. As many of you know I can't even stand near the tracks.

 

My dad is very ill. It's never really occurred to me untill now that there is a true possibility I could lose him if he doesn't get a transplant. I guess we take for granted that are parents will always be there.

 

I also have a fear of Sean being on a motorcycle. I don't trust the other drivers on the road.

Heights - fvck that... pretty much why I wont do roller-coasters.

 

Wasps - To a point I can let them be, but they always have to come and sniff me or whatever they do... then I look like a cheerleader.

 

Recently moved to SC, I am very fearful of all these damned fire-ants... I just keep thinking ill look down one day while doing yard work and theyll be crawling and biting me, and then Ill die a fire-ant meal lol. There is a LOT of fire-ant killer in my yard now.

Deer - well hitting them while driving. curvey roads or dark is the worst I feel as if there is a herd of them awaiting to go all kamikazee on me

 

snorkeling - the ocean is so vast and can only see so far under water. wish I could see 360* because there's always sharks

 

going blind - lost my sight once from a bad cornea infection. happened over night & woke up comletely blind. scarey shit took about a month to fully recover

Ladder heights.

 

The other major one is not being prepared enough. I wouldnt know if its exactly a fear but it makes me uneasy thinking I am not prepared enough. I constantly strive to have extra canned food in the house, or extra bottle watered. Extra ammo. Extra knives. Extra guns. I dont horde things but I cant stand the thought that if a natural disaster or economic problem happened that I dont need to rely on anyone to feed and protect my family.

I joke around alot about zombie invasion and dont believe something like that would seriously happen but its a damn good excuse to live the way I live.

I felt just like you from youth through about 30. Always almost joked about people who were afraid of death. Then, I woke up one night around 2am in what I guess people would classify as a panic attack - it was really the first time I ever realized that the internal "voice" I have, that voice we all have, the "me" would some day be gone.

 

That same panic hits me pretty regularly now. Tough-to-impossible to put into words until you go through it.

 

It seems that I'm not the only one on CR that feels like this.

That would explain quite a lot actually.

 

I'm afraid that America will get shittier instead of better and there won't be any awesome nation left to fill the void.

 

I have that same fear. That kind of fear is one reason that I am kind adverse to starting a family. Why would I want to raise kids in a society that is notably more shitty than the one I grew up in? I feel like one day, the US will be just like any other communist/socialist country.
