What are you afraid of?

My weirdest one?

I’m afraid that I’m going discover a dead body. My heart always races when I see a rolled up carpet on the side of the freeway or stumble across a lost shoe or sock while walking. It’s completely irrational, but I’m always afraid I’m going to accidentally come upon a corpse and be scarred forever.

My greatest fear is coming face to face with a R.O.U.S.


Stop saying that!

FaeFae

being alone thats a big one........ annnnd people who dress up as statues and stand there motionless.....the sight of them creeps me right the hell out and then if they move I start to cry!!! no joke!!! lmao

Washing my face in the sink. I have an (admittedly irrational) fear that someone is going to chop my back with an ax. It must have come from a horror movie I watched as a kid or something, because it's been with me for a while. I have no problem washing my face in the shower, it's just when I'm bent over the sink. On the occasions I absolutely have to, I always do it super quick, and I usually peek at least once, which of course results in face wash in my eyes. And no, locking the bathroom door doesn't help.

I'm not afraid of clowns. I just want to punch them as hard as I can in the face.

I am to the point now when I see one i want to hit them with something. why are they always smiling and who/what are they hiding in those bg *kitten* pants and shoes!

They aren't funny and I don't trust anyone that wears that much make-up. What are you trying to hide, Clowny? The ones on stilts are the WORST!

Even though I lived alone for a year last year I'm still scared to be alone in my apartment at night.

brittanyscherich

Ghosts. Walking outside in the dark. And whenever I have to fly, I get anxious that it's gonna crash.

Also, that I'll live in South Dakota forever.

My biggest, most irrational fear ever is that... someday something will happen to my husband and I'll have to live without him.

brittanyscherich

Rodents to include hamsters, guinea pigs and squirrels

Awww I have three guinea pigs. They're amazing pets! And trust me, they're way more scared of you than you are of them. I you ever pick a guinea pig up, you can feel its heart racing like crazy.

ok so check this one out.... i am not scared of bugs, reptiles, amphibians, or people or heights, sharks, failure or anything normal.... the things that creep me out are the following:
operators... specially at night when im alone. just thinking of their voice saying "please hang up and call again" gives me gooosebumps.
im also scared of white noise... you know when your tv looses signal and it goes into a loud static pixeling.... yeah totally scary
also, when certain channels dont run all 24 hours and you ge those vertical lines with rainbow colors and a loud beeeeeeeep.... omg makes me wanna die how scared it gets me.
lets see.... aliens can be scary.... not ufos... aliens.... like imagine if one day i see a ufo.... i would tink... cooool!.... but imagine you are sleeping and you wake up and you see a large alien opening your bedroom door. lol.... maybe i just have a vivid imagination.
or what about when you are sleeping and you are scared that any body part of yours stays uncovered at night.... specially your feet..... like you know the boogie monstr isnt gonna get you lol... but i guess just in case lol.... omg... im just ridiculous.....
hope this made someone laugh a bit.

I am home alone right now and for some reason these just gave me the creeps! I think these two come up in horror movies often.

I hate spiders and any other creepy crawly bugs. I was once held hostage by a spider because it was on the bathroom door and there was no way in hell I was going to open it. I stood back and drowned it in Glass Plus Window cleaner. I got it squeaky clean and that's about it. Eventually I had to get out. It was the only bathroom we had at the time.

Heights - although slowly getting better
Traffic - or maybe that should say driving in traffic
Mountains - driving up those twists and turns
Heavy Rain - yep driving in it and not being able to see
Swimming in the ocean - I grew up at the beach but havent been swimming in a really long time, afraid of what I cant see now

Terri73

Losing more of my family
someone harming or taking my kids

kaleidoscopheart

Magnets and duplicates.
The other phobia I find really hard to explain.

Twylyght

I have always been scared of clowns since I was 3...now I'm scared and I hate them at the same time lol! I also have a pretty irrational fear of bridges over water...bridges over land do not bother me cuz I'll just hit the ground and die...but slowly drowning and dying when I'm stuck in my car...terrified!! I roll my window down far enuf for me to swim out over every bridge! Even when its -40 out!!

The scariest dream I ever had was a sequence of eerie, unmoving "scenes" (like a cat on the hood of a broken down car, just sitting there staring at me, and a perfectly still, black black pond in a foggy wooded area, etc) and each scene was followed by a few seconds of white noise. Was very weird. I've had nightmares since then (I was eight or nine), but nothing creeped me out more than that one.

I am affraid of telling my supervisor to kiss my A$s! She has me between a rock and a hard place. If I tell her to shove off and quit riding my butt she will write me up or have the sheriff fire me....The BI*CH knows how to pluck the hair that will make you cry!....I wish I were a NINJA! I'd kick her buttttt!

OK Clown's are a given. As it is right and proper and good that the world hate clowns.
Some people are afraid of heights, but not me; I am afraid of widths.

Also, this one is rare, being chased around a kitchen table by two timber wolves on a freshly waxed floor while wearing only socks. This one is called Luposlipophobia. There is a support group, but we have no tables anywhere NEAR the place. And we NEVER wax the floor.

orangeswild123

I'm afraid of:

*Deep water
*Heights (only if it's windy)
*Flying
*Bugs in general, except butterflies I can handle those haha
*Needles
*Small spaces

I think that's about it haha!

Oh, also, and this might offend some of you, The Pope. I am afraid of the Vatican City Pope. To all of you out there who think this is silly I say, listen. Any 80+ year old man in a white silk dress who is one hat choice away from being the 'Ultra Grand Dragon Pooba Wizard' of the KKK frightens me to death. But this new guy, Pope Ratzinger, MORTIFIES me.

Papalphobia, I am told, is incurable.

I am sorry if I offended any Catholics out there, but I am an equal opportunity offender. You never know who I might offend next....

And to you King Arthur fans, strange women lying around in ponds distributing weaponry is no basis for a form of government! If I claimed to be an Emperor because some watery Tart had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd have me taken away.
