  • Posts: 133 Member
    Snakes i don't have a problem with i live out in the sticks so I'm use too them but heights definitely. We have a park near me that's on basically the side of a cliff. I stick out my chest and walk toward the edge but by the time i get near it I'm crawling

    Heights has been a lifelong phobia.

    Cancer / Relapse

    My son is 8 months cancer free. I am terrified to death for him. We don't want to go through that he'll again.

    This is a new fear. I have a fear of finding this sweater in my closet or getting it for Christmas. Oh and I can thank borst14 for this fear, because she posted this in a different thread. Thanks!

    Dead animals is new to me i find them less frightening dead. However i could imagine one playing dead and then jumping up scaring the *kitten* out of me

    Fear is nothing more than misguided anticipation... people say they are afraid of falling... nothing wrong with falling... it's the sudden stop at the end of a fall that should be feared. Spiders? that they exist? or the possibility that they crawl all over you at night in the dark? Death? it is inevitable... it should be a welcome break from reality.

    YOU want fear??? wear this... dying unloved...

    Vomit that's odd does it scare you or gross you out

    It's a real fear: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emetophobia

    Not that wiki is a great resource, but it does explain it.

    Heights and dying (specifically dying a violent death)
  • Posts: 816 Member
    Dying before my kids are grown. Although death in general scares me. And severe thunderstorms.

    Poverty, the boogie man under the stairs, and heights.

    Fear is a part of life no matter whether it's human or animal even insects, there will always be something scary too someone inn this world. Claiming you have no fear would show a lack of emotion. Most fear is felt out of love for others, some felt by worrying about your own well being. Everyone fears something, now How you control that fear is a whole different concept. My fear of heights doesn't stop me i love to overcome my fears, i have been on planes, mountains, top of a light house, a watch tower over looking a cliff etc. That's what makes human extraordinary being able to overcome any obstacle your body can handle anything it's your mind that you need to convince

    I am a father... of course I have fears... every waking moment... not that something will happen to my child... BUT what I will do to someone that might dare to hurt my child.

    Excessive visible saliva produced in a way people think is sexy to the point where it looks white and foamy instead of see-through. If someone licks me on my face, I WILL kill them. Have you ever sniffed a dry lick? disgusting and the reason I avoid American porn (I don't know why you do what you do, but you know what I mean).

    Kissing is fine.

    Spitting.. urgh.. I can't even.

    You lost me at American porn don't quite understand that part but the rest i know what you mean. However spitting is natural to me sometimes you just have an excessive amount and have to get rid of it

    I'm afraid of dogs when I haven't been around them before. If a dog runs at me I go into panic mode quick.
