Your Greatest Fears..?
I like to think that I am not afraid of anything-- life is too short to cower on your knees.
Death does not scare me... So what is there to fear if you do not fear death itself? For the longest time I thought that my one shining point was that I lived without the slightest of phobias. I gave it incredible thought on those sleepless nights... I have finally found out what I fear: Living life too little. Living life too little? It sounds so minuscule, huh? I cannot explain how it has plagued my mind. It is a bona fide trepidation of mine. Each night it breaks me to think of everything I could have done with a day that will not return.
There. You have read my mumblings. What do you fear? Spiders, perhaps? Or heights? Nothing is too large or too small to bud dread (as I have learned).
I have always tried my best to control wandering thoughts, to break them off before they reach the ranks of morbidity... it has worked with all past minor fears (which I have overcome because of it). My best suggestion is to not give your mind more power than it holds. If you do not assist it with a recipe to create ghosts there will be none.
Share with me. I want to grow from mine and help you arise from yours.

1). I am terribly afraid of any sort of spider. - I have had one crawl on my leg, and it scared me so much. I could not believe how big it was, it had to be the size of a wolf spider, I freaked out and jumped right on to the monkey bars and held on for dear life.<br /> <br /> 2). I am scared of anyone in a black hood, with anything that doesn't look right. I quickly see them as a serial killer and I walk way faster than normal.<br /> <br /> 3). I am scared of snakes. I used to own a snake named Princess, she escaped from what we were keeping her in, although I loved princess so much, she still scared me alot because she wouldn't move then she'd scatter and it would scare the heck out of me. I held her only once before she got away, but it's something I got to go with.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Those are the biggest things I am scared of.

I have a terrible fear of... Pidgeons and small birds. Doesn't help that i live in San Francisco, eh? Anyways, the little buggers freak me out. I will run away screaming from them. Something about there beady, cold, unfeeling eyes, and how they puff up when they're angry makes me all uneasy.<br /> Also Clowns. Deathly terrified of clowns. Honestly. At the Halloween Haunt at Great America, a group of clowns cornered me. I was in between my mom and her friend Collin, almost passed out, laying on the ground crying.<br /> Surprisingly, I'm not scared of death. Nope, not at all. In fact, it intrigues me.<br /> oh, and one of the ghosts in my house (no lie). He terrifies me.

Losing my teeth, enough responsibility to mess up the rest of my life (in a monetary or reputation way) with one careless mistake, burning alive, getting stung by a bee, causing a car crash, accidentally killing/injuring a person for life.<br /> Yeah, some make a lot of sense... others not so much, lol.
I fear spiders, bees, wasps, roaches, flying bug things, and most of the creepy crawlies. I'm also really shy in real life; I hate talking to people outside of my "group". What doesn't help is that I've got a twin, so most everyone at school knows me and they feel compelled to run up and say, "Hi, Twin!" *shudders* But what I'm most afraid of is spiders.<br /> I don’t like to sleep without the television on because the dark is scary. I need some kind of noise and sound to keep my over-active imagination from creating some kind of horrible, faceless, monster out of nothing. I guess I do that kind of thing mostly because I like to over-think things. I get bored a lot, so in my free time I find myself turning ideas over and over in my mind. I’ll mentally examine about anything, really. From how floss works to how the universe was created, I’ll sit and think about it for the longest time if I’m having a dull moment. So naturally, if I can think about practically nothing for a good half hour, it doesn’t take much effort for my mind to start travelling, as I like to let it do on its own, into some far-off place. It just seems that when I’m alone in the dark I always become overly paranoid.<br /> [edit] Oh, and I'm afraid of most sports. Why? Because there's always some kind of ball involved,and it's always coming straight at you; I'm terribly afraid of getting hit in the face by a ball while playing sports.
My worst fears inclue small fears like-<br /> Big dogs (After a while with a big dog I get over it and cuddle with them.)<br /> Spiders (If they're in the window seal I'm perfictly happy watching them.)<br /> And big fears like-<br /> Needles-I cringe if I see a hypedermic needle. I am deathly afraid of them.<br /> Shots- I think my fear of needles comes from this. I fear that my docter may someday "accedentaly on pourpose" inject me with a poisin substance.<br />

Ah, fears.... I didn't used to think I had any. Then I took another look at me and realized that I do, indeed, have fears. Quite a few, actually :x<br /> <br /> 1) Cicadas - the stupid things terrify me. Just last week, one dive-bombed me in the pool at 9 at night. I screeched and jumped out... Luckily a couple guys fished it out and saved me XD<br /> 2) Centipedes, though this one is fading somewhat. Doesn't hurt that I spent a few nights in a tent surrounded by baby centipedes.. o.o<br /> 3) I'm kind of afraid of tornadoes, but that's gotten better (helps that I don't live in tornado country). <br /> 4) Wet hair. I don't know why, but wet hair freaks me out.<br /> <br /> Those are the lighter fears... Here are a couple of the ones that rule my life. >.<<br /> 5) Food poisoning. I <i>will not</i> eat at restaurants that don't have a sanitation grade, aren't well-known chains, or have empty parking lots. I also won't eat food in my fridge if it's been in there over 2 or 3 days (depending on the type of food), I won't touch bananas with brown spots, and I constantly pester whoever is cooking about washing hands. And if I do eat somewhere that doesn't match one of these criteria, I tend to make myself sick worrying about getting sick. If I don't make myself sick, I suffer through multiple anxiety attacks.<br /> 6) Vomit, or vomiting (this one's called 'emetophobia'). I avoid situations involving alcohol, lots of people who are likely to be sick (or who might've been around sick people in the last day or so), and any other potential vomit-inducing situations. I'm okay with dogs (well, I've grown somewhat accustomed to it), but humans.. *dies* I think my fear of food poisoning stems from this fear...<br /> 7) People. Not all people, and not people all the time. But in general, I hate being around people. I don't trust them and they give me anxiety attacks. I can handle people if I'm in an authority situation (at the animal shelter or at work) but in general, I just don't like them. I don't get close to people, either (and when I make exceptions, they always do something horrible and it ends painfully for me)...<br /> <br /> Edited: Sorry for the mini-novel of a reply >.< I tend to get wordy.
Well, when there's darkness behind me or whatever, I get scared pooless that I'm going to be murdered, and home alone I'm scared someone is gonna come in my house and kill me, so, basically crazy murderers/I'm paranoid.<br /> <br /> Also, I'm very afraid of open spaces. haha. And poltergeists as well. And I believe that there are ghosts in my house as I hear creepy noises when I'm home alone and the dog is with me.

I'm really just majorly scared, of being in charge. ^^; And the two girls down the street that I babysit, they have a dog, who wants me dead, and that thing scares the living crap out of me. o.e<br /> <br /> When I'm in charge, I am just so shy and nervous and quiet... It scares me to think of what I can say or do, or if i look like a moron.<br /> <br /> Theres more, but I only wanted to share the two.
