Some are afraid of the Dark. Some are afraid of Insects. Some may be afraid of Hieghts, while YOU may be afraid of BUTTONS.

   Our fears come in all shapes and sizes. They are all different. Starting as a little girl I've always been afraid of The End Of The World & Demonds/Ghosts. I don't know if it's the unknown or my religious beliefs in Heaven & Hell, but whatever it is, It's possibly my strongest Fear. It can keep me up all night, and can keep me from living life, MY life, free of guilt. And I hate it, while I am still learning how to be rid of the curse.

As scary as it may be to have to think about it, let alone TYPE it...

                                                                                                 What are YOU afraid of?

                                                                                                                            Creepy hugh? ...

Roaches. Just thinking about one makes me nauseous.

I fantastically enjoy bugs, lizards, spiders (especially big ones), snakes, the moon and most of all, night time.

And so it remains that my biggest fear is ‘fear of failure’. I don’t mind being wrong (I would rather be right) or having to work very hard to achieve, but failure leaves me craving for more. Ugh. 

Heights, bugs, rodents, failure, death, the end of the world...

Dying alone

 I was baffled by a fear I had until I saw on Jeopardy that there's actually a name for it - megalaphobia (the fear of big things)!  Then later my little sister told me she has it too.  

Although I fly regularly, I am afraid of looking out from an airport window and seeing an entire jet (especially those honkin' 747s) all within the frame of my vision.  And although I wouldn't think twice about boarding one, I'm also scared to death of being just outside of a ship - the sight of it makes me shake inside.  Finally, even though I'll swim in it, I'm afraid of the open ocean because of the size of the some the things that are in there!  I believe I may have met my demise in a former life in a way somehow involving something BIG.  

I am quite afraid of sharks....I do not like to jump in the water without knowing what is down below me....always had that crazy fear....never ever had a run in with a shark.....but just not happy to know they could nibble on me!!

I have 2 silly irrational fears- and I know they are silly and irrational so I usually keep them to myself.

1.) I live in MN. You may have heard that we get snow and ice in the winter. No matter how cold it is outside, I will never walk with my hands in my coat pockets because I have the fear that I will slip on the ice and break my front teeth. If my hands are free, I can use them to break my fall. I know that would be so so so painful. But its not just the pain and expense of the dental repair that I fear.  If I broke my front teeth, I could never bite into a whole apple again- I would always have to cut it into slices. The apple thing is what I would miss. I know- completely random, and seemingly disconnected thoughts.  

2.) The dishwasher in both the home I grew up and the home I am in now is directly below the cupboard where I have my plates and bowls. When I unload my dishwasher, I never have that cupboard door open. Instead of putting dishes directly from dishwasher to cupboard, I empty the dishes onto the counter first, shut the dishwasher door, then put them into the cupboard. I always think that if the cupboard door is open, and I am bending up and down, I will hit my forehead on the cupboard door and need to get stitches and then have a scar on my forehead. Its never happened to anyone I know, it is not the way my mother or sisters empty the dishwasher- infact, they will tease me when they see me doing it. I have no idea where this thought came from. And yes, I know, it is silly and irrational because honestly, what are the chances?

I'm afraid of big spiders, drowning and/or death by fire.  I'm afraid of any type of demon filled talk, especially after seeing the Exorcist.  I'm also afraid of being in a car accident.

 I have a family member who has a serious mental illness. Though she is now high-functioning while medicated; one slip up or one time she gets over stimulated, she may snap. (It has happened a few times already, so I'm not speaking hypothetically.) I think about it a few times a day - what if she snaps and she can't control her thoughts. She will do something to herself or her parents. There really is no cure for what she has - only medication and therapy. Also, the illness is hereditary  - I also too may slowly establish the same illness. The thought of getting the illness doesn't scare me as much as what will happen to my relatives. 

definitely my biggest fear is failure however...if i had to choose something equally terrifying i'd have to say SPIDERS! Does anyone else feel like their stuck in quicksand? whether it be in your career or just everyday life, tell me i'm not alone in that !

Stupid people.........they scare me silly. 

Hi everybody,

I'm afraid of spending my lifetime without falling in love..or to be more accurate, I'm afraid of not being beloved :(

I'm 23 and till now no one said that he even likes me !!!

I'm not ugly or have no sense of humor,,

I can't figure out the reason...really I can't

Also centipedes and millipedes too. just thinking about them makes my wanna jump around, the thought of them in your ears, how they run... uuuuugh! I cant even believe Im talking about them.......!

It's actually refreshing to see common fears. I think it's inherent to fear bugs, although I can deal with them after the initial shock.

A year ago I would have said that I fear dying alone. But I now realize that no matter who is by our deathbed, we all have to face that on our own.

I am still afraid of my ex-husband when he threatens me.
