What Are You Afraid Of

[kjm030584]

It looks like it's been dead for a couple of weeks.

Anyhoo... that just reminded me.... When I got back from break both of my fish were dead. :-(

Ok Horses, losing my loved ones, moths and pigeons. ooh also guinea pigs and other small things with scrawny necks, including babies and stuff(i suppose its just anything that is fragile) Waxworks, dolls, basically any inanimate object that has eyes and looks like it could be alive but isn't. Oh god that part of lord of the rings with Bilbo`s eyes freaks me out so much i can`t watch it!(how pathetic am i?!) erm also i`m scared of myself at times, i too suffer from ocd and i worry about everything far too much but i can`t stop, so yeah the fear that i may actually turn into a complete fruitloop one day, thats scary. ook thats enough of an insight into that part of my mind. I do have a fear of spiders of course but i think i must be stronger than i think cos i can deal with them when i have too, i have convulsions afterwards and need ahot drink and a hug, but yeah... anyway...

I totally understand being scared of babies.... they're invaluable and soo freakin fragile. I stay away, the last think I need is a law suit. :lalala:

[bluediamond]

Sick & Wrong.

:lalala:

[Veilingmeat]

Aye Dave i hear ya...i also watched that, the mans right...something to be feared, and at the same time looked at in disillusion :o :wacko: a sort of WTF type of expression!!!


Krampus, a terrifying companion to St Nicholas, is seen in an age-old Austrian procession to mark the start of Advent???????????? slighty pagan eh...and thats only half of it
See what he means!!!!

SNAKES. and I'm also terrified I will lose my mind and go crazy.

My Mum has the same terrified attitude to snakes. She literally freaks out at the sheer mention of one and you should see what she's like when she even hears or sees one on TV.

[DreamsLast]

Mostly, I'm afraid of FAILURE...

Oh, and snakes too.

[ShawnShamrock]

Im afraid of everyone here..... You guys all freak me out I mean where can I start Kiera you send chills up my spine and not in a good way... Im so kidding I guess Im afraid of telephones actuallly no im not but I did find a website that helps people get over a fear of using telephones if they calll this 1800 number but that seems a little weird and pointless. If your afraid to use a phone how can you dial a 1800 number for help.. Anyway I am not really sure what I am afraid of til i am faced with it I guess

[ItBeThatWay27]

I'm not that bad w/ snakes. I mean I don't like real ones that I don't know are there. I can hold the really big ones if they are tamed and all and I can watch movies w/ snakes and stuff it doesnt bother me. Sometimes discovery channel does bother me though if it gets too REAL

Failure is an issue for me too. I just can't tolerate it and beat myself up about making mistakes. I really am my own worst enemy when it comes to that. Doesn't help that I am a perfectionist too. I am not content with doing things well, I want to be great at things instead. No-one's perfect i know, but not being able to do something and failing at it gets me very much down. It often terrifies me out of doing things.

I'm afraid of heights. I'm afraid of love somewhat and having nice things happen to me because I mostly feel that someone's trying to play me or something along those lines.

[ItBeThatWay27]

You know it seems like I would be afraid of failure, but I don't think I am. It really has never bothered me to fail at stuff. Plus I am always good at looking back and understanding what lesson I learned by failing at something. I did just think of another fear I have. I am terrified of being alone. Or more specifically not being able to relate to anyone I guess. It's funny cause I have a love-hate relationship with it, I love being a sort of outcast who doesnt fit in w/ the mainstream "in crowd" but then I get all bummed that I can't relate to 95% of humanity... it's a weird thing. But yeah I am pretty scared of being alone and friendless..

I am the same way, a perfectionist. Every time I achieve something it's hard to revel in it because I'm already planning the next thing to work on. I'm never content.Sometimes I feel like I'm a prisoner of my own brain power....it's mostly wonderful, but it feels like a curse at times!! To me average is like failure...I know that sounds harsh but it's true. For me, getting a B in school was like flunking!! I'm always worried of slipping up. It's not fun always having that worrying following me around... But I am slowly learning to ease up a bit. That it's not worth being in that state of constant stress...I've mellowed over time about it.
