What are you afraid of?

Myself, I'm afraid of failing. I will push myself to breaking point to avoid failure.

Admit your weakness, and face it head on.

    I'm afraid of letting my paranoias take over my mind so much I turn them into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Largely because I have a long track record of it.

    Spiders. Can't kill 'em, can't look at 'em and they scare me when they move fast. I have to have someone else come and kill them for me. God forbid I'm in the house alone with one...

    I keep thinking how awesome it would feel to overcome that fear. My teenage son has even offered to go with me.
    Still - I can't do it.

    Home invasion/burglary. And thanks, but no thanks on facing it head on. ;)

    I'm scared of less and less these days! Feels great. Think I'm most scared of never feeling 100% again. I have chronic fatigue and pain syndrome and also recovering from major surgery. Feel like I haven't felt well in forever! Just want some energy back and most days it feels like it will never happen! Got to keep on going though :-)

    Having a hotflash while wearing a winter coat, while driving my car, scares me more than anything ever has. That includes spiders, snakes and some of my relatives.

    I have refused to sleep in my room if I know there may have been a spider in there.....
    I have ran off the road and ran because a spider fell in my lap or dangled in front of my eyes.....

    I heard a tidbit of info one time that has me paranoid all the time: At any given moment you are never more then 5 feet from a spider!!!

    Im afraid my face is going to be uglier when I lose all the weight.

    Also I am afraid of fire and falling to my death.

    Failure-in all things. Weight loss, healthy lifestyle change, relationships, life in general.

    On a less serious note, most critters with more than 4 legs. Sure, ladybugs and praying mantises (is it mantises or manti? hmm...) are cool, but spiders, water bugs (those little fers love my house and they terrify the s&#@ out of me!), humpback crickets...I'm going to scream bloody murder and run.

    Once had a wood spider on the wall by our TV at my old apt...that sucker was about 3 inches across (and no, I'm totally not joking). My sister and I waited for our guy friend to get there so HE could kill it. Even he was startled by our invading tarantula. Even pictures of spiders give me the heebie jeebies!

    Spiders are my biggest fear. I swear, someday, gonna be the death of me.

    Elevators, small spaces, crowds & dying alone.
