List what used to or still does freak you out :D


I"ll go first,,,


Mainly my only current fear is that I wont be strong/fast/good enough to rescue someone I love in their time of need.

I also hate ticks after I had one on my back of my neck gorging away... I was driving like 60 mph, felt something on my neck, ripped it off, was like WTF, threw it out the window and it blew back onto my lap haha

When I was young, Mirrors in the dark would bother me ;P

    Heights and snakes. I can handle pretty much anything else but I am a giant wuss with heights and snakes terrify me.

    Spiders and being at a unsupported height, such as a balcony without a railing, or an old stair case (not a hotel room or a airplane). Biggest fear would be being thrown out of an airplane, while someone is throwing spiders at me

    heights and snakes.

    Though i've been sky diving so I do not let my fear of heights debilitate me. I see it more like a challenge.

    But *kitten* snakes, I will never like them. Or try to conquer them...unless they're flying...that's messed up!

    I am terrified of spiders. Biggest fear ever.

    I am also afraid of clowns, probably my second biggest fear.

    Flying is a pretty big fear too. I have to be pretty drugged up or exhauted... and I am also still afraid of the dark. 25 years old and I HAVE to sleep with a night light.

    the only fear I have is fear itself... OK so any ways... my only fear, honestly, would be to bury my son ever, no child should die before a parent. I could handle anything else out there but that, that would kill me.

    spiders and heights...hate things that jump cause they startle me, but I am terrified of spiders and heights. I acutally once paid a neighbor kid to come over and kill a spider for me...lol

    I could totally relate. There is probably no coming back for me if that happened ;/

    Being shot. (I'm a police officer.) Also, getting old.

    Sounds funny. I don't want to die now but I also don't want to be old. Therapy in the near future.

    Stuff in my veins. I just ... I can't deal.

    When I go in to get one of my blood tests (cruel fate gave me pernicious anemia that the doctor wanted to monitor with regular blood tests) I am a crybaby every time and the nurse is always like 'Is it the needle or the blood that does it?' and I have to awkwardly tell her it's the thought of something in my veins. UGH even talking about it has me all creeped out.

    Thank you for putting yourself at risk to protect everyone else. I know what you mean about the getting old part. Once I start taking steamers in my diaper its time to put me down old yeller style

    Being FAT and earwigs. Did you ever see the old Night Gallery when the earwig went through the person's brain and came out the other side after a tormented month of screaming in agony and then when it came out the doctor told the person it laid eggs. UGH, the scream that followed was epic.

    So, I am not too afraid of anything in particular, except if I "SEE" a ghost. It scares the **** out of me, even if its on a tv show like one of those ghost chaser things... I just start crying! Also, if I am next to a cliff and I see over the edge. I am not afraid of heights, its just that the backs of my knees get all weird feeling! Even if its just in a video game and my character is on a ledge! My knees almost get tingly! LOL!

    Spider crickets (some people call them cave crickets), being attacked by a shark, drowning/suffocating/burning to death.

    Heights! Not like airplanes but like looking down at the space needle or ladders, basically stuff I could fall out of/off. People are shocked when I tell them that. I'm 6'1" and apparently you aren't supposed to be afraid of heights when you're tall?

    Being up high and able to see underneath me...we used to live on the 9th floor of an apartment building and I could sit with my legs hanging out the window leaning over yelling down to my boyfriend, but put me on a suspension bridge or railroad tracks where I can see the ground beneath me and I freeze and feel like throwing up. Not being able to help someone in my family when they really need saving and then there's ticks....ewwww! Super gross little *kitten*. They are disgusting and can get into some very unwanted area's (not that I ever had any anywhere near those area's, but I know people who have) without you noticing...no thank you!

    Earwigs are pretty freaky!
