NWR: What are you afraid of?

cpm1223 · March 2012

I'm curious to see what people are afraid of.....(this all stems from a scary experience I had this morning)

I am terrified of bugs, any kind even ladybugs. I found a centipede in our apartment this morning and I nearly had a heart attack. It took me a few minutes of talking myself into getting something to kill it, and lots of screaming (FI wasn't home to kill it for me) then I finally squished it with a box and then, a few minutes later after I was able to collect myself, I wiped up the squished body and threw it away....but even now I can't stop thinking about it and I'm terrified that I'll find another one!

I'm afraid of flying....I think its the loss of control that scares me. I have to be medicated/drunk to get on a plane. We're flying on a total of 4 planes for the honeymoon and I'm already starting to panic.

I'm sure there are some others, but those are my big fears.

anyone else?

I'm also scared of bugs and some more than others. If it has more than 2 legs, can fly, or can bite count me out. Spiders, roaches, even mosquito hawks scare the crap out of me! I'm also scared of snakes. If I see one I don't care what kind it is I was almost cry. I will not touch them or look at them I just want them gone.

I'm extremely scard of snakes. I can barely go out into my backyard in the summer.. its kind of out in the country, with long grass and a wooded area surrounding it, and there have been snakes out there

I can't even see them on TV, or a fake one.. it just makes me really anxious feeling, and I used to have really bad nightmares about them when I was little.

I have the worst fear of losing someone suddenly. Like I know that is most people's fear but its bad fear.

vineyard12 · March 2012

I am definitly not afraid of bugs, and I am quite often the one called upon to kill them! lol. I used to be afraid to fly, but I'm not so much anymore. I just don't like taking off. Or landing.

I am scared of snakes. Even the ones on tv! The only snake not to freak me out was the boa (and basilisk) in Harry Potter. I have a slight fear of heights and bridges. When I drive over a bridge, I always drive in the middle if I can.

<div>I am the same way. Ever since I lost my dad, I always fear that I will lose someone else too soon. Whenever I leave someone, say my mom when I go back to college, I always feel really sad because I hope that it isn't the last time I see her.</div>

Every time I freak out about a bug (which happens every time I see one) I tell myself I am bigger than them and they can't hurt me....but then the next time I see them, its the same freak out as usual!

I wish I could be like you and not be afraid!!! lol

weird I know.. but I'm afraid of seaweed. Of course, FI is a huge fan of a lake by his cabin in Wisconsin and one time we were playing football on the sandbar and the boats anchor came up some how and the boat is drifting away. We didn't realize it until it was a good swim away so here we go swimming across a lake (deepest lake in Wisconsin) and all I see is seaweed. OMG it was the worse experience. I'm fine touching in on shore or even touching it when it's on the top of the water but I will literally jump out of the water if I feel it by my feet or body... ahhh I'm so weird haha

lnvane00 · March 2012

Needles.. I start to squirm and get uncomfortable just thinking about them. I can handle tattoos. I have 5. But it's the doctor needles and IV's. I am getting anxiety right now just thinking about it. I'm terrified to get pregnant just because I know I will have to deal with needles. One reason I dont wanna have kids.

Aliens. I am terrified of those things. Theres one in particular and I cant even type the letters. People think its funny, o haha, but No. I will flat out have a panic attack. So not funny.

Of course I'm scared of spiders and snakes.. i dont like them one bit!

I'm super scared of heights. And deep water. i love the ocean but will NEVER swim in deep dark water. Even the thought gives me anxiety.

I dont like whales because of how big they are. And the fact that they are in deep water. It makes me uncomfortable.

I am always afraid of being shot.. Weird but I get scared about someone breaking into my house and shooting me and FI. I need to stop watching so many criminal TV shows.

I have a lot of 'fears'.. LOL

Snakes, flying, and sharks. TERRIFIED of sharks- We used to live in Savannah, Georgia and used to go to the beach all the time, but the water was was too dark for me to ever go out far enough to swim. Didn't help that people were always catching sharks off the pier and fishing on the beach.

Glad we're HMing in Seaside, where the water is nice and clear

This, exactly!

Any type of rodent: mice, rats, possums especially. Yuck.

Big open spaces. The house I grew up in was on the edge of town and when you open the front door all you see across the street is desert. Also, I'm afraid of being in the ocean or a lake. Pretty much any body of water bigger than a swimming pool. If I was in a boat I would be fine, I think, but not actually in it. The thought of space and the nothingness of it terrifies me. And also, I'm still afraid of the dark. So I think I can sum them all up into being afraid of nothingness.

My biggest fear is of snakes! I can't see them on tv or even have someone make a hissing sound... just thinking about it is giving me chills

I also have a fear of drowning.. (had a near drowning experience when I was 3) FI has been helping me to get over this fear

such a sweetheart.

I'm afraid of storms. Like.. used to burst into tears at the first crack of thunder. Not so bad anymore, but I get really anxious whenever we have a thunderstorm and i'm TERRIFIED of tornadoes.

This is so me!!! I actually have anxieties about this stuff!!

This may sound silly but I'm also terrified of the dark. I sleep with my light on at night. FI says that we won't sleep with a light. We'll just have to see about that

bpphoto785 · March 2012

Ditto snakes. Also heights, but only if I'm leaning over something (like a railing looking down), bridges, etc. don't bother me.

Also, it's not a fear really, but I can't look at eyebrow threading. IT FREAKS ME OUT!!

mandi921vh · March 2012

Snakes!

littleshrink · March 2012

Sharks. I hate sharks. I will leave the room when one comes on tv. My FI thinks it's terribly funny to hum the Jaws theme. I just have to smack him one. I mean freak out, glare at him, curse him out freak attack. This is especially funny to him since we live in the middle of the country! Not a lot of sharks in this part of the world...hmmm
