What really scares you the most?
 

Since it seems that you all liked my question about "Horror movies made me do it" I have another question that is brewing in my twisted mind. Anyone who has seen Witches of Eastwick will probably see where this is going so here goes. What i want to know (since we are all anonymous what does it hurt) What really scares you? I dont mean like the dark, or Freddy Kruger or Jason or shit like that what I mean is real stuff. Fear of death, being alone, not being accepted, losing a loved one things of this nature. Why the hell would I ask you say, because I am a Psych nut and my mind doesnt think like the mainstream. So reach down in your souls and pull out your greatest fears for all to see.
Call it therapy, some of you need it.

I will start, when I was a child (5yr old) my father died in a horrible car crash, my mother raised me as best as she could until I could take care of myself and then I raised myself for the most part(age10 and up) she had to work so i was left alone for most of my childhood and had trouble relating to people and didnt easily make friends. My mother remarried and my stepfather was quite physically abusive to me and my mother, when I was 15 they divorced, and I have been on my own since 17. I became very street smart and led a rough life that probably should have ended in tragedy some time ago because of my lifestyle. Well I managed to stay out of jail and am now a responsible(?) adult w/2 children, where is this going-my greatest fear is of me passing on before my children grow up and can fend for themselves especially my son (3) right now, I am still a young man but anything can happen at any time that is out of my hands, and I fear that my kids would have to grow up without a father and live a terrible life that I lived, yeah sure it makes character but I wouldnt wish it on anyone.

Think about what you write or if its too personal to share thats OK just want some intellegent conversation about it.

i wood have to say i am afraid of um i dunno ill reply when i think of sumthin

i fear being accepted, strange as it may sound... of course i have more fears, but such things is best to speak of between GOOD friends

Too personal to speak about on a internet-forum.

I have a fear of getting my genitals cut off, no joke:(

People named Josh.

Thats cool that people dont want to open themselves up to strangers, personally I dont care, no one on here would ever meet me and if they did they wouldnt live to talk about itLOL Besides no one knows who I am so what difference does it make? It was more for my self than anything else. I wouldnt tell this stuff to complete strangers on the street, mostly because I am standing there in front of them.

there is saftey in knowing youl never meet the person, some people will speak some wont, no matter what is done its a respectable choice, personaly i couldnt sit and talk to anyone over the net or face to face about all my fears or my child hood or annything else like that, its a damn good question to ask though.

Do you want to know whats funny? we have probaly walked into each other on the streets:) it's weird when you think about it.

Ahh glad you brought this up... I have a weird experience like this.. When I was around 20 I chatted quit a bit online with people, go into chat rooms, etc... Well one night I started talking to this woman that lived in Florida.. (not sure what town & she never knew what town I lived in eighter) well we chatted for a few weeks on and off. Just hello here and there and how is life going on chatting, ya know. Well last year I started working at this convience store doing security on the graveyard shift and another female worked as a cashier. Well we talked as usual and talked about our lives,etc... Well come to find out she was the girl I chatted with years ago for a few weeks.. I thought that was some messed up shit...

I really cant think of any fears except for loosing my g/f to death or my niece & nephew. I dont think about it but that would hurt me extremely bad.

I do have some anxiety problems but to me they are not fears...

haven't posted in a while but i figured that this would be an appropriate one to do it with


this may sound kinda dumb but i have a fear of not succeeding in life. i still dont know what i want to be

crazy clown I feel the same way. I'm afraid of not succeeding in life. I also have a fear of dying any second. Don't know how it would happen but I'm still afraid of dying.

Okay, this is gonna sound weird, and some of you may not believe me but that is fine. Im afraid of Telepaths. People that can read thoughts. I never gave it much thoght until I actually met one (she proved it to me on an almost daily basis). I have terribly violent images that run through my head all the time but it just happens to be the way that I cope with my violent side of my self. One day she approached me about it because she was getting kinda freaked, and slowly she backed away from our friendship. She was my only friend at the time and she ditched me because of what is in my head. really fucked me up about people for a long while, and I still often stop and wonder, is he/she listening in on me?

Covered furniture.

Covered furniture- n ow that is the funniest thing that I have heard all day.

What do I fear?? Interesting qustion but hard to answer.

i do have my horse phobia though... no joke, whenever im near one i break into a cold sweat, it gets hard to breathe andi just need to run...embarrasing but true

cows. they just sit there eating grass all day and look at you
fucking horrifying

I have a friend who is deafly afraid of clowns, I mean you cant even do a clown voice it scares him so bad. The guy is even afraid of Krusty the Clown on the Simpsons. Phobias are really freaky, I have a fear of heights but only when I am on a stepladder, I could stand on a 10000 story building and it doesnt bother me, went skydiving once you would think that that kind of height would freak me out but it didnt, seems Id be OK falling from 30K feet but not from 6 feet off the ground. Go figure

My current fear would be my mother making a suprise visit to my dorm room...That would scare the HELL out of me...eheheheh:D

My neighbor to the left has a thing against Clowns goes into hyper ventalating and shit..I was evil on Halloween put one outside her door..I think she's doing it for attention.. Was a cool look on her face..she freaked out..No hospial call though....

Fear...what is it really? Do you call it an emotion or a response to outside stimuli? I have many "fears" and a few quirks but nothing that really terrifies me. I am the typical product of the 20 century ; I am just fine. (For the record fine means F- fucked up, I- insecure, N- neurotic, E- emotional)


**I am a slaughter butcher by trade and can tell that those cows mentioned earlier are not just sitting and eating. They are actually plotting to rule the world!!! MOOO!!!**

I just define it as something that scares you....

i really really i have a fear SPIDERS no matter the size if i c see one i jus get this weird feeling inside uhh.. just the thought right now is freaking me out

needles scare me. i can watch anything but that. chop off there heads rip out there guts but don't pull out a needle.

I guess you dont like the movie "the dentist" ?? or you turn your head when he pulls out the needle

i've seen the dentest, i liked it, but i covered my eyes. i'm trying not to anymore. don't want to miss anything.

I demand you to make him watch Killer Klowns from outer space.
Thats funny, John Carpenter was talking about that on the audio comentary for the thing.:)

Yeah I have a friend that is affaid of Clowns too, I mentioned this in another thread.. But she finally watched it with me and she was fucking scared the whole time.. LOL

what am i afraid of? too many things to list here, but here is a few. i am afraid when i have to go to my car at night, especially when it is someone elses house and they dont have a light. it always seems that i cant walk fast enough, and i dont want to run. im also scared to touch old people. its just weird the way their skin always feels loose.

LOL holy shit that is funny.... I guess you wont touch yourself when you get old .........

I really may sound like I am lying but I am not. I don't fear much. Ever since I was a kid those fears left me. I became the one people feared the most. But I gues you can say I am partly afraid of dying... Not because it might hurt but because I might not finish my work. I fear not completing what I want to do most is to tell my story.

Well dieing really isnt a fear in my mind...it's an end to a beginning...My cousin is 5 and he told me if we die god will make us NEW again..Now that scares me, the ideas that small children come up with...HE has no fear...That should scare his parents.

Im really scared of ventquiotist (not spelt right is it) dummys

I'm scared of monkeys (don't ask me why), oh.... and scarecrows.

after my baseball practice one day my arm was hurting so i put on some icy hot. well it was still on my fingers when i went to go use the bathroom. so i do my business and when i'm done i just started burning in my crotch region. i ran to the showeers and it took me like 30 min to get the burning to stop. ever since then i've kinda stayed away from icy hot and if i use it i wash my hands for like 30 seconds just to be sure.

I woould welcome a serious disscusion of fear at some time.

i have a terrible fear of spiders, if i see one no matter how little, i freeze and i cant move and if one gets on me i pass out. my b/f and my dad took me through this spider showcase thing in the smokey moutains ( to help me get over my fear) over the weekend and there was this huge ass spider in a regular fish aquarium (no spelled right, sorry) and the spider was so big it couldnt move around in it, i swear, i saw it and froze my b/f started to pick me up and the damn thing moved one of its harry legs, i passed out and had a seizure, seriously


i know this is an old post, but i was just wondering if anyone knows how i can get rid of my fear of spiders. w/o out passing out or anything. ill never admit this to anyone i know but i think i need serious help.
