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.
