The "Fear thread"

No, this isn't a game, this is a light discussion of fear. Everyone is afraid of something, though some hide the fact because they're afraid that being honest with your fears is a sign of weakness or un-coolness. I for one don't, & in fact, I believe that openly discussing your fear/s is a healthy way of approaching it. The only time a fear is unhealthy is if it hinders you from being a functional being.As for myself, I can't stand creepy crawlies, worms (both types, earthworms & parasitic worms) , spiders, some bugs, centipedes, milipedes, maggots & especially leeches :P . But it's more of a disgusted of fear, not scared of fear.I'm also a bit scared of the dark, but that's becasuse of a strange "supernatural" experience I had days after my grams died involving a pair of fireflies that always flew in formation that seem to never die even after I swat them good.So, how about you guys?

Shoudnt this be on general discussion?? BTW falling!!

Well I posted this here because it felt light & a bit not so important, but I'll let the higher ups decide if this should be moved.

People say its a fear of hights but realisticly im terified of falling!!

It's not a fear of heights if you enjoy going to high places. Also staring down from a high place can also be a phobia if you can't do it.Here's another of my phobias, walking on rope bridges, especially old ricketty ones suspended on gorges.

Only heights and boredom, I have no other fears.... And i'm not kidding, boredom scares me...

I fear failure. That's all...

Failure. Bumblebees. And Praying Mantises, which scare the shit out of me. Cahos, they always have those bridges on movies, you know for certain that someone is going to be in danger on it :P

Well I've actually had the horrifying opportunity to cross on one when I was a kid & it really scares me to this day.

Actually, i'm scared of anything bad happening to my family...

That's not technically a phobia cj, almost everyone feels that.

It is a phobia,
I couldn't imagine what i'd do if anything happened to them...

That's normal with most people cj. Like while I was on my week long absence, my mom & Godmom kept on SMSing me every 3 hours or so. That's just you concerned for their well being.

It's not very normal in America and the UK as much anymore, alot of people are too selfish

OK, let's not get into cultural discussions or disputes again..Anyway, in my opinion that's fine as long as it doesn't hinder your work or personal affairs.

I'm a bit worried about exams, does that count?

Who doesn't? :D

Not really a fear cj. I'm still worried that my brother will die too soon from smoking, or racing in his Charade with turbo.

Giant f***ing spiders man, with their ugly hairy legs!!! :-[
