What you fear?
 

Ok this is a thread where you can talk about what you fear, what you are afraid of and what makes you get really scared! I fear spiders,clowns,bees dead bodies,sharks, heights and monsters!! What do you fear?:wiltshock::macwor::gooblab::o

well, dying alone is a big one. Other than that?

not much. BRING IT ON! snakes, spiders, heights, vomit. Not the kind of stuff that freaks me out.

basically death, and some heights. and maybe the dark. but thats about it.

I fear death, pain, and I have a phobia of most sharp objects.

I'm beginning to wonder if Partymember and myself aren't related, like siblings separated at birth or something, given our mutual affection for guns, hunting, creepy-crawlies and other critters often feared by the public, and now the revelation that we share the at least one of the same fears: dying alone, unwanted. At my age, that's really beginning to bother me. I've always valued my independence, having grown up in a very strict family with a genuine control freak for a mother, but now, having seem many of my family members grow old and die, the one thing that they had to draw comfort from was having someone by their sides when it was time. In most cases, that someone was a now-adult son or daughter, or a granddaughter. That seemed to be the greatest comfort that they could have. I don't have kids, so that means no grandkids, either. I'm not married. Only one of my siblings does have kids, my sister, and we are not close at all. Her husband really dislikes all of our family and has done a very effective job in putting distance between her and the rest of us, with the exception of my father, whom they both use and take advantage of, using his own granddaughters as pawns. My brother is only a few years younger than me, has a lot more health issues, and is unable to even care for or provide for himself due to the effects of his autism, so he has to live with my father. I've witnessed the horrors of our government-run care facilities for the elderly, and quite frankly, I'd rather be put down like an old dog than to have to endure that in my final months or years. MOST nursing homes, like Madame Foster said, treat old people like so much inventory, not like people, and do whatever is needed to keep the inmates, uh, I mean residents, quiet so that they're as little trouble as possible. These strangers still cannot take the place of a beloved family member when that inevitable time comes.

The only other thing that scares me is storms, though I'm not as bad as I used to be, in the years following Hurricane Hugo. I actually suffered from PTSD after waiting out that awful storm alone, 35 miles from the coast, in 1989. I still don't like high winds, or lightning, though it's more out of concern for my house, my animals and other personal belongings that of my own safety.

Yeah im afraid of going to the hospital like having surgery blech!!! And im afraid of the dark cos when im alone in somewhere thats dark i see strange figures that look like people! And i fear death and sharp objects and like someone or something is right behind me and i turn around and no one is there really creepy!!

Hm, lets see, I fear death, spiders, and bees. I'm pretty cool with everything else.:D

I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't fear death itself (what happens just before and after is what I fear). I fear being outdoors during a thunderstorm, bees, rejection, and a few other things.

I'm afraid of heights & have a phobia of snakes!

I'm fine with lizzards, frogs, spiders, but snakes, that's another story! :-/

Fears: My computer doing something awfully strange, spiders, bees, tornadoes, people who stare at me for no reason, the feeling like you're being watched, people saying the world is going to end in a few years, heights, Special Information Tones are a few of them... and death just might have to be one of my fears.

i see death is a recurring theme here. It happens to everybody. There are some VERY pansy people out there, if they can handle it i think i can, too. Just set yer teeth and jump right in.


sis! (hug) :P

If i'm ever in South carolina we should go hog hunting together. I usually love massive storms but hurricane may be a little too massive.

i don't worry about nursing homes. My friends give me a life expectancy of about 30 more years, maybe less. Such close buddies we are 8D

i put it at 20. Guess they are being generous.

PS: PBL, ya want to get a dude's attention you can't go wrong with those little Heinekin kegs they just started advertising. Got the tap and everything. Wonderful little invention.

Have you ever felt like someone is trying to like kill you like they're watching you from the outside window that is really scary man it really happend to me because i really saw someone outside the window!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid of...airports. :P Not planes or flying; I'm fine once I'm in the plane and out of the airport itself. I get all claustrophobic and freaked out if I'm forced to be in an airport. Even if I'm just there to pick someone up. Not sure why.

huh. Everytime a car goes by and i'm on the street i feel like i'm going to get gunned down by some thug with a MAC-10. I dunno why. Guess i'm just paranoid :P

I guess I should clarify that it's not DEATH I'm afraid of per se, but of growing old and becoming more and more alone, while having to depend more and more on other people for daily existance, and having absolutely no one to turn to-of being absolutely alone and unwanted when that end finally comes, other than impartial strangers in nurses' uniforms who'll just roll me out while they're rolling the next inmate/patient in. I've been with relatives as they've breathed their last, and they seemed to take great comfort in having family members nearby, but unless I die young myself, it's highly unlikely that I will have the comfort of knowing there's someone by my side who actually cares, someone to whom I'm more than just a number on a medical chart or on the door to the room. THAT is the thing I fear the most. I'm not afraid of any animal, ESPECIALLY not of spiders or snakes, since for the most part, there's no reason to fear what cannot harm you at all, and I've got enough brains to know which ones can and which can't. I can control such animals, I know enough about their behavior to know how they will react in a given situation. It's things I can't control that I guess I have the most fear of, and that includes my own situation at the time of my own death, who is with me, or not. It's the same with the storms, but my fear in this instance is still tempered by fascination and a desire to know more. I cannot call it a genuine phobia, because I have no problem sitting and watching hours of tornado chasing programs on the National Geographic Channel, or standing on the porch watching bolts of lightning. When there's a hurricane out in the Atlantic, though, and reports indicate that it might head towards the Carolina coast, I still get a bit nervous, having seen that destruction and lived through the aftermath first-hand, a situation not unlike living in a war zone, or, while the storm is still raging, like being under enemy attack, being shelled, and knowing that each breath could be your last.

i was referring to other people citing "death' as one of their fears, but i agree: a hospital or nursing home is no way to go. Suicide by Yukon sounds good to me. Walk up into the Yukon Territory with my Win 94 and 100 rounds of .30-30 once i decide i've lived long enough.

guaranteed not to come back out.

i vaguely remember tornadoes in Michigan. They seemed fine, but that was because i had people there with me. Alone is not fun.

I've decided i want a burial scaffold a la the plains Indians if i die unexpectedly. Dunno if that passes Health Code whatever but i don't give a rats a$$ about government.

its not that i fear death, its that i fear being some spirit or something in foreverness

I've mentioned it before, but I have this odd, overwhelming fear of belly buttons. That's a pure phobia, since I'm well aware that belly buttons can't hurt me (or at least nowadays - there were some slightly more sinister connotations attached to them when I was younger), but nonetheless, there is something about them which I really don't like, and forces me to avert my gaze whenever I see them. Disgusting things.

You folks who are afraid of spiders, heights and airports should consider yourselves lucky. At least don't have to walk around with one attached to you the whole time. ;)

8D I feel your pain. My fear is something humans do as a natural reaction like sneezing, and sometimes need to do to to stay ALIVE. I am terrified of vomit, which explains why I don't like being around chemicals or having them on me (a few of them say to induce vomiting if accidentally ingested, and while I know they are talking about the whole bottle, I don't even want a drop getting near my mouth), why I always wash my hands about 100 times a day, why I only feel 100% safe when I prepare my OWN food, and why I pretty much turn the house into a bleach fort when there is a stomach virus going around!

I really don't have a fear of death, but what comes before it. I don't want to die painfully!

I'm personally afraid of crowds, very loud noises, pain, the idea of being drafted or conscripted to fight in a war, and the most is death. I'm very afraid of the uncertainty of death but I don't want to get into the spiritual or religious aspects of it.
I'm mainly afraid of a slow, painful death like burning alive, drowning or ending up at the mercy of some psycho. My greatest fear ,though, is being stranded in the middle of a deep, dark ocean that you know is full of sharks and monsters. *Shudders*

y'evah seen a SHAAK chief?

I need more comments on this thread! :O:(

More comments? It's already three pages long!

pitbulllady

If you're looking at it with as much post as you can see, it's only one page long. XDD

I'm afraid of failure. that's really scary.


I scream and run from bees I run from spiders UHH... Heights AHH...

Why?

Well most of my threads only have about like 6 replies and i want like one or two threads that have like 30 or 29 replies.

You're not going to be very popular here with a statement like that. This thread has three pages. If people wish to decline to reply to specific threads, then let them go. Why do you care about having so many replies here? ???

yeah people can post whenever they want too,same with the chat room:Anyone goes in when they want too...

If you consider a thread that you start "your" thread then it might be in your best interest to leave now. My staff knows how much I dislike people starting threads for no other reason than to regard it as "theirs"...The ONLY reason you should be starting a thread is because YOU have something to say on the matter, and you wish to give others a place to express THEIR opinions as well.

If you want something that you start to be "yours", start a forum. 8-) But be willing to share.

Ok i really wanted to make friends here cause nobody really likes me all they to is try to beat me up so i just wanted to make friends but i guess i don't belong here :( :(

no no its not that we dont like you its just that we post when we feel like it and we all like you...but I guess this is goodbye...:'(

uh...i suggest punching back. Preferably in the solar plexus, thats the soft area above your abs but right below where the two halves of your ribs meet. Right about the center of your chest. When you get the wind knocked out of you it is because you have been struck in your solar plexus. The reason it will knock you to the ground is because right behind your solar plexus is your diaphragm, the muscle with controls the expansion and contraction of your lungs id est breathing. Hit someone in the solar plexus and it will disrupt the rythm of the diaphragm, thus temporarily retarding the person's ability to breathe. They will fall to the ground, gasping, and you can either run or kick them in any number of vulnerable spots. The kidneys, the chest, the groin, or the face. I suggest the face. It hurts quite badly, guaranteed to ruin anyone's day.

However, if you wish to leave us, i bid you adieu. In the future i would suggest not throwing a little hissy fit if you are berated by a moderator, administrator, or combination thereof. It will not earn you points.

well ok i won't leave i know that you like me it's just at school everybody hated me!They did like me at all like if i said hi to someon they said ewwwwww get away from me! So im not leaving!
