    My biggest fear is a large dark room... is that odd?


    I was always told not to fear the dark, but be cautious of what is IN the dark. To that extent, large large rooms that are pitch black always have a place in my discomfort zone. My bedroom in the dark is fine, my house in the dark is okay, but put me in a warehouse and shut off the lights and I get tense. Rides like Disneyland's "Space Mountain" had me freak out as a child because the room was so huge and so dark. Even the Universal Studios ride "The Mummy" makes me nervous sense the room is so huge.

    But I'm only afraid of big dark rooms when I wear my boxer-briefs..

    I have an unnatural fear of underwear similes.

    Death. Not mine -- people I love. I guess I've lost way too many already. I don't worry about it all the time, but every now and then, there it is.

    tornadoes and escalators :cry:

    Um, you know the people who hear there's a tornado coming and go outside to see if they can spot it???

    :blushing:

    That would be me.

    Ferris wheels. I love roller coasters & all kinds of scary rides, but NOT ferris wheels.

    This! Hate sitting at the top.

    Oh, and that giant spider picture was on SNOPES - photoshopped. Thank goodness!!!

    Heights. Not falling, but heights. Good thing I'm short!

    Me too! And this is why we're friends. Also, I used to be afraid of escalators but somehow got over it. Although, getting off the escalator still makes me a little nervous.

    I don't fear clowns, I DESPISE them. I fear extremely closed spaces, like being in an MRI "tube". I also fear not being able to provide for my family. Speaking of underwear, , , God bless the man that invented boxer-briefs. They've solved all my underwear dilemmas:bigsmile:

    uhg!!! my hubby does too, and I am in the basement crying, or just shaking and he is on the front porch yelling across the street to the neighbors. and escalators used to be a huuuuuuge fear, that episode of rescue 911 when I was a kid, AND i had fallen down an escalator once as a child too. I will get on one if I have to but if you are anywhere near me there will be nails in your arm
