    Being single after 30, becoming bankrupt, being morbidly obese and getting wrinkles.

    being single in 30s is not a bad thing.


    Actually being single in your 30s is pretty amazing. Chances are you have a good job that pays well by then, you have some money saved away and you may be working on your first house. You have free time that no one really bothers you about.. if you want to stay in and read, watch netflix for a weekend you don't get your 20 year old friends calling you lame. You are the person that really gets to collect and tell stories because you don't have children to support (which means you get to dissapear for weekends).. And you are still young enough that most things physical are well within your grasp. Being single in your 30s is freaking awesome.

    ^This made my day because I totally agree.

    Heck, if you're financially savvy, don't waste away your money on useless things, then you could easily have enough money to retire and live a life of real freedom by the time you're 35!

    My daughter resenting me for being away during deployment to war. She doesn't understand and I fear the day she will become angry and hate me for it.

    deep dark water that i can't see the bottom of.

    and clowns. when i was a little kid my ma had these pictures hanging in our room of these two little boy clowns playing. she thought they were cute but their smiles just ruined me. had a problem with them ever since.
    A lot of people suffer from Coulrophobia (fear of clowns).

    I would say being stuck on an elevator with a your client who isn't mentally stable. This did happen for a few minutes...and I can tell you...this was not fun.

    My rational fears are much like all of yours. Something happening to my kids, something happening to my husband and having to tell my kids, cancer and death. My irrational fear is of airplanes, not being in them or flying on one, but more of them plummeting out of the sky and landing on me :/

    Oh you know the obvious, something happening to my hubs, one of my kids. But I'm also really afraid of heights, snakes and spiders.

    The whole plane thing.. It's happens. My cousins friend was killed this way earlier this year. At her house. So your fear is warranted.

    work in mental health/social services? something similar happened to a friend of mine once and she's been all panicky ever since.

    Yea I do. I'm a supervisor but I had to cover for a case manager. It is scary. Luckily nothing happened in the elevator tho. Sorry about your friend. Tell your friend to always carry a cell phone on them in case of emergencies. Handle with care classes wouldn't hurt either or some kind of self-defense class too.

    Thanks for warranting it, however I quite wish you would not have shared... LOL! My condolences to your friend because that is awful :'( But for real, it all started after 9-11, since then I have had the same dream at least once a month and I will spare all of the details but it involves me swimming in the ocean, a plane falling out of the sky, crashing on me and me actually dying in my dream... No bueno!

    That said, I have been skydiving 4 times and I love to vacation which involves flying. Haha!

    My greatest fear is something bad happening to any of my children.

    I don't like snakes. I don't mind them in a controlled environment...but the thought of one slithering into my garage sends chills up my spine.

    As for odd fears...I dread tripping on a marble staircase and knocking out my front teeth. I also have a fear that an giant icicle is going to fall off a building and impale/crush me (it happens...but not, thankfully, in Florida)
