## Fears we all got them

Post by anjell » Thu Mar 04, 2010 8:30 am

Fears we all got them even if we admit it or not. So Iâ€™m going to put out a challenge to every one to face their fear and tell us. No matter how silly a fear it is. Iâ€™m not asking to have you tell how you learned to fear because I know that can lead to some bad memories. You may be wondering why Iâ€™m bringing this up but for some of my stories Iâ€™m writing and hope to have posted one by months end, because my fear play a large role in the way I acted in a couple.
Ill start â€¦ I have two big ones that anyone close to me knows about. And when I say big I mean run out of the room screaming or just freak out. But as for small ones none come to mind.
My first and biggest fear is heights cant stand them to the point that I cant move.
My second on is a little odd itâ€™s little British kids voices if I hear any ill be gone before you can say what ( I donâ€™t mean to offend if any one is).
So ill end this here and hope Iâ€™m not the only one that post in here.

Hmmmm... fears! Good question! I think I only have the one major fear, other ones are just common fears, like of snakes and spiders!
Oh scrap that I have 2 major fears, to think about it!
For a 6'1 girl... a fear of heights would be laughable, but I actually do have a fear of heights! Rock climbing and abseiling I have done in the past... but shit myself doing them!
Second fear is of clowns, circus folk, and anything of that kind! I have a major panic attack if I see any of them, not so much bothered with toys, but if they are real life characters controlled by humans... I freak and run a mile.. this fear goes back to when I was about 8... the event that occurred drove me to have this fear!

I'm cliche: I'm afraid of heights too. And not serious heights. Just 3 steps up a ladder and I get edgy. But it's more of a fear of falling. If I'm secured I don't mind even 50 meters up.
Second fear is public speaking, aka stage fright. But I'm not an actor so no problems

Fears, eh? Come to think of it, I think the only real one I have seems to be commonplace so far here:P
I have a reasonably brutal fear of heights(not sure whether it qualifies as phobia), I think the main reasons being 1) I'm afraid of falling(2 falling induced head injuries when I was 2 seemed to play a big part in that), and 2) I just get nausiated when I decide to look down, or when I picture the ground below. I can't focus, and get my mind off of it. Back a few years ago, My uncle let the family on to the roof to see the hot air balloon festival. I was the only one who lasted a mere minute or so. I was fortunate to still see them since he lived at the top of a hill(and the direction they took off from was a wide open space), but I just could not stay up there, and it was only a bungalow's height off the ground.
I even have my days where I can't climb ladders at work without feeling faint. I guess I prefer to have my feet firmly planted on the ground.

I think I have like a social phobia or something. Being around people I don't know for too long makes me really nervous for some reason, especially if it's a large number of them. I'm kinda paranoid of people online too, I'll never give out certain info like what city I live in or anything because as ridiculous as it sounds I'm afraid I'll attract the attention of some stalker or something.

I can relate. I have similar fears, only they make even less sense because I can't even justify them. You don't know how many times I thought 2 people I've talked to on the internet are the same person out to get me, even when it was a completely ridiculous assumption that I could prove wrong myself XD
And real people don't get much better treatment either...

I'm kind of the same way as Kyo. I actually sometimes wonder if I would be considered to have some kind of social anxiety "disorder" sometimes. I'm scared to death to call people on the phone I don't know for even simple tasks. I also have the paranoia of somebody finding me online.
Snakes, spiders, rats, etc. don't really bother me. I don't like to have bugs crawling on me, particularly ones that can bite, but I'm not really frightened of them beyond what I have to be to keep myself alive. Insects with stingers bother me more than they should. I think that goes back to a fear I used to have of possibly being allergic to them because my dad is. I now know that I'm not (been stung several times) but I guess the fear has stuck with me.

I am sure someone will disagree with me but I seriously fear nothing at all. I have been bitten by a turantula before and it made me sick but I had a pet turantula myself and I picked it up and let it crawl on me and was not scared of it at all.
I am not saying I never had any fears at all but I am saying I do not have any now and have not had any for several years now.
When I was a kid I was afraid of puppetts and clowns. I faced those fears many years ago and overcame all of them. I have never had any fear or heights at all. In fact when I get up somehwere that is high up I feel as though I want to jump off. Not that I have a death wish or anything I don't exactly know how to explain it.
I had other fears in life also but I will keep them private. I can honestly say I have already faced all of my fears and conquered them all so now I live without fear.
Most of my friend have fears that I think are weird but who am I to judge. I just think certain things should not be feared. Some people I know are afraid of bees and they are not even allergic to them. I say how can you be afraid of something that isn't even as big as your smallest finger?
A guy once pulled a gun on a friend of mine. I got in front of my friend and asked the guy what the hell he was doing. He told me my friend slept with his wife so he was going to shoot him. I told him he had to shoot me first to get to my friend. My friend was scared and I was pissed off. So I told the guy pull the trigger and kill me or I will take the gun and shove it where the sun never shines and pull the trigger on you. Three things happened after that. His wife told my friend she wasn't married so it wasn't his fault it was the other guys wife's fault. The guy ended up running away because he put the gun away and I told him to get lost and he started to walk away. In a harsh voice as he was walking away I said "you better run cause I'm pissed off". Then my buddy turns to me and starts thanking me. I told him he was an ass and I wasn't porotecting him anymore cause he was doing stupid things. Anyway my point is all of my fears have conquered for a long time now.
Not bragging I am just saying you can all conquer your fears.
Treat others as you wish to be treated. Having said that I will not sit idly by while someone is disrespecting another just because they think they are better than everyone else.

Chloro, that was some experience you had there. I'm just glad that everyone came out of it safely!
Hmm, fears... Well, I don't have a fear of heights, but (interestingly) I do have a fear of...how to put it...umm, "sudden vertical displacement" would probably be the best phrase to use. For example, I don't like roller-coasters, but not because most of 'em are way up high. It's the sudden drops that get me all panicky and distressed. Like, I'd gladly go on that coaster that goes around the Space Needle in Seattle, but I'd dread those that are even a few tens of feet off the ground, but with steep, fast drops. Another example is that I don't mind planes at all, but those sudden drops during turbulence makes me almost want off immediately.
I don't have a fear of most bugs, but some get me so riled up that I can't even sleep knowing one's in the same room with me. One such type are cockroaches, interestingly enough. Then again, the ones we have here are huge and have a tendancy of dive-bombing us from walls and ceilings when we least expect it. Another are centipedes...but again, the tropical type that we have are quite different than the "house centipedes" most of you are familiar with.
The last fear that I can think of that I feel comfortable sharing is my fear of needles. 'Til this day, I dread doctor appointments simply for this fact. I don't even think they hurt all that much, especially now that I'm 21, but...well, I guess childhood trauma keeps my heart racing whenever I hear the word "shot" mentioned in that context... *shudder*

Well Chloro I don't find not having any fears weird at al. For myself there is only one thing I am afraid of and that is bears. Weird one I know but that is mine. I have touched two in the wild one was by choice and the other not so much so that time is probably what gave me a good helping of fear for the giant animals who can sometimes weigh more than 600 pounds.
For me though I love heights and am a avid rock climber.

I'm a little afraid of spiders(only the big ones), but only if they're in my bedroom or any room I'm in. But if it's outside and it's got a little lair, I like to feed it woodlice. I think everyone is a little afraid of them. I think it's something about their legs, the way they move. It just looks creepy. Also, the knowledge of some spiders being poisonous scares people I think. Funnily enough though, I'm not scared one bit of tarantulas(apart from the black ones with no hair), once I put my face about a centimetre away from a red-kneed tarantula that people weren't aloud to hold because it was a little angry. Yet I could never bring myself to do that with a normal spider.
Another fear I have is heights. Only if it's above 10 metres and it's on a small platform that I'm afraid.(also, I have this thing where when I look over the edge of something, I feel like jumping off for some reason, it feels like a force is trying to make me jump off) I also feel that whatever is holding me up is about to rupture and I'll fall and get hurt.(or even killed)
I also have a fear of the dark. I hate being in or near adark room. I especially hate going past the door to a dark room and I'm too scared to reach in and turn on the light because it might reveal something in there. The reason I'm scared of the dark is not knowing what's in it. My mind can go to any length to imagine what's in there and it's not usually anything nice I imagine being in there.
Also, being in a dark area where I know what potentially could be in it, but is not necessarily in there, such as a forest at night. I know foxes and wolves are very likely to be in there, but I don't know whether I will actually see them. I know they are not likely to attack, but the sight of one, especially at a distance, provokes the thought of turning back.

Fruen... you sound an awful lot like me!
When I was twelve I was outside doing the onerous chore of stacking firewood. I picked up a particularly large log with a large knot hole in the side. I began to heft the log over my shoulder when a MASSIVE "wood" spider emerged from the hole, then scurried up my neck and across my face, coming to rest on the top of my head. The sucker had to have a three inch diameter. I shrieked like a little girl confronted by an ax murderer. My father came running out of the house, fearing the worst. I managed to shake the beast from my head, though only due to wild, frenzied flailing. My father came to a halt in front of me, and demanded to know what my problem was. I eeked out something about a large spider, and my dad turned tail, shaking his head in disgust/disbelief. I don't think he had ever been so disappointed in me!
I too have a phobia of the dark- mostly because of my very vivid imagination and penchant for science fiction. What's funny is that the stark, complete darkness of a tight leather hood doesn't bother me in the slightest...

Beware: we now have "false" black widows in the Forest. Last year I just couldn't resist it: I took one on my hand (yes, I am stupid) and took it to the wife, who hates small spiders (I'm probaby also insensitive) saying, "Is this one of those spiders we've been reading about?" The reaction was quite gratifying.
I think she's forgiven me; I now sometimes get fed before the cat

Okay guess it is my turn. I have two categories of fears: those I have conquered and those I have not yet conquered.
Arachnophobia I conquered by watching the movie of the same title as my own therapy.
Writer's block, any instance where I can't remember to save my life, and having a seizure/stroke are my current unconquered fears. Yes I know some of my fears may sound silly.
From whence I came and whence I went heaven said I was too evil and sent me to hell. Demons and devils succeeded in breaking my soul.

One of my most unusual fears is heights and it was apparent when I could not do anything with heights that did not involve a railing until I overcame it by hiking with a group of my friends during a Christian Retreat, but I am still afraid of tight spaces and scary stories.
You will have to subdue me to restrain me. I been a bad boy so make sure you torture me too with anything but pain.
