Fears

[Bulbasaur]

What fears do you have? Do you have any uncommon fears?

For me, the weirdest fear I have is when I forget to turn off my phone, and someone calls me in the middle of the night, and my phone starts vibrating loudly. It literally takes me a few minutes to get out of my bed and turn my phone off. I don't why that scares me.

How about you?

[smeller]

Just death, really. The uncertainty of it is what scares me.

[Sanctus]

Also, snakes. Hate em. One time I walked into the house and heard my grandmother scream. I turned around to check what it was about and found that I had just stepped over a snake on my way through the door. o.o

I don't know if any of my fears are particularly uncommon.

[Corey]

My biggest fear is probably being transparent, where everyone knows all of my deepest darkest secrets. Other than that, snakes, alligators, other aggressive deadly things.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Seaweed really scares me for some reason. I won't go in water if there is seaweed. :|

If anything rubs on my leg in the water, I squeal and struggle away. xD I don't mind seaweed if I can see it, though. It's been forever since I've been in the ocean. o:

[seapegasus]

I am terrified of butterflies, jellyfish, mushrooms, being stared at, and crabs/lobsters. Also, I have no idea why, but I practically have a heart attack if I wake up with my door closed. I can't go down a slide backward, either. Snakes? No problem. Spiders? Love 'em. Ghosts? Aliens? The dark? Pfft. Going down a slide backwards? Over my dead body.

[EmeraldSky]

Hypodermic needles--I'm fine if its a picture or video, but I'm the one about to be stuck with it...it's not a pretty picture, folks.

[Dragon Master Mike]

I would have to say my biggest fears are time and change . Its scary to think about all the things that are going to happen, how everything i love about life now is going to be changed or taken away in time (allthough there will surely be new things). Though lets not forget needles. I freak out every time i need to get blood work done. Just thinking about that needle in my arm gives me chills.

[VeloJello]

I'm afraid of poisonous animals that can be fatal - including, but not limited to, jellyfish, scorpions, brown recluse spiders, and poisonous snakes. The phrase 'water moccasin' makes me shudder. Apart from that, I tend toward being a hypochondriac, so I fear diseases/maladies of every kind from heart attacks and brain cancer. It seems that week I manage to 'contract' some new illness.

[MichaelXD]

I was brave enough at the beach to go swimming in the water with my cousin, but when I heard fish appeared, I was afraid that I might damage the fish. I was told that they are more afraid of me than I am of them. This was in August at a beach I went to in Hawaii. I don't know my any other fears. Some of my fears have been resolved.

[shaymin]

Deep water and heights are what scare me the most. I won't go swimming in an area that's at least more than 10 feet or so deep, I don't think I can take it. ~___~

[Ninaiso]

I have...
Emetophobia.
Sever fear of vomit and/or vomitting.

It's terrible and I wish I didn't have it. Someone so much as looks sick I avoid them like the plague and if they ARE sick I gotta leave or I'll have a panic attack.

It's not the vomit itself or even how it looks when someone vomits, its the SOUND.
If you vomit quietly, I'm perfectly fine.
If you vomit loudly, you will not see me until you are better.

[Dragon Master Mike]

Alright, i said a while ago my biggest fear was time and change, but i have one more fear that rivals if not surpasses that fear: Going blind.

[ShadowJay]

Topophobia - Fear of certain places or situations, such as stage fright.
Metrophobia - Fear or hatred of poetry. (mostly hatred)

[Shiny Totodile]

Deep water and heights are what scare me the most. I won't go swimming in an area that's at least more than 10 feet or so deep, I don't think I can take it. ~___~

Like you I don't like that either. Other than that, I actually like getting scared once in a while. One of the fears I have is probably Mothman. I was introduced to Mothman when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade and he was horrifying then. Now I've even taught myself how to draw him and now I think he is pretty awesome, but if I actually saw him I would probably pass out.

[DarkNerd]

Fears? The great and mighty DarkNerd has no fears!
Besides dolls. And bees. And wasps. And heights. And needles. And most sharp objects. And failure. And my mother.
Dolls comes from parents forcing me to watch the Chucky movies since I was in diapers as well as constantly telling me if I played with my toys after my bedtime, they'd come to life and kill me. Might also explain my fear of my mother. Which is why I fear failure.
My fear of bees comes from being stung by one in the neck as a child.
It was not a favorable experience. And since wasps are eviler bees, I just said a flat out NOPE.
Everything else is relatively common.

However, I don't fear spiders at all. I usually crush them with a napkin, unless I know 100% they're not posionous. In which case, finger smash, here I come.

[Zodiac]

I wage a constant battle with a fear of heights. You'd think with the amount of time I spend on roofs and ladders and walkways I would have stopped being afraid by now, but no. The fences are too short for me to feel comfortable. I want something that goes up to my neck, not my hip.

[Pokeman]

Okay... *breathes deeply*

I'm afraid of the dark. YES, it's a childish fear. But all the memories of all the scary things I've seen occur when I step into a dark room. My GREATEST fear is staring into a mirror in a dark room for a long period of time. I can only stand but look into a mirror for 30 secs in the dark without bursting into tears and running downstairs. I had to actually buy a nightlight and turn all my mirrors facing the other way so i could get to sleep. :/

[Shroomish]

I was afraid of needles until I had to spend a few days in the hospital three years ago, and had my blood drawn like 17 times. That kinda cured it. XP

I'm afraid of some typical stuff: Failure, people I love dying, tornadoes, end of time coming, etc.

Probably the weirdest fear is that of bedrooms. XP I'm not sure why, but I can't sleep in a bed. I get this huge anxiety feeling and even if I do manage to go to sleep, I subconsciously wake myself up shortly after. Due to this I sleep on the living room couch, and have for two decades. /shrug. (Hotel and hospital beds don't apply for some reason. XD)

[The-Hydra]

Hmmm....Lesee...

I am afraid of Bees/Wasps/Hornets/, mostly because I've never been stung by one and I don't like to think about the pain.

Another one is having to choose between two things I love dearly, but it's really just my own fault since I never actually have to choose but present the problems in my head all the time. (Example: You have to choose between a close friend or your most beloved posessions. Answer: Suicide let me get back to you on that)

I can't really think of any other fears really besides the super-common ones. (Death, Horrible accidents, everything going wrong. I don't get stage fright at least.)

[Wander]

I AM SO HYPOCHONDRIAC LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

And I also have haphephobia, the fear or touching or being touched. Mostly being touched. I'm sort-of-kind-of-maybe okay with touching other people. But other people touching me? NOPE NOPE NOPE I AM HYPERVENTILATING I AM DYING GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME

I'm also afraid of other, more common things. I am terrified of failing, my fear of spiders is starting to go away after that one school field trip, bugs oh gawd why do you do this to me, oh yeah and heights. Like, it's not being up really really high that I'm afraid of. I like being up high and looking down below and being like "ahaha look everything is so small." I just get scared when I think of falling off the edge or something. TINY RAILING YOU'RE NOT HELPING AT ALL

so yeah that's me and my fears

meep

[Suicune's Fire]

Seaweed really scares me for some reason. I won't go in water if there is seaweed. :|

xD What about sushi?

I think most of my fears revolve around things I love being taken away from me. =/ That and other life-altering things like not being accepted by anyone or anything ever. xD I think I also have a fear of suffocation. The thought of not being able to breathe is scary. x__x

[Daughter of Mew]

I have a phobia of medical needles, I can't even look at photos of them. When I have a blood test/injection I normally end up having 3 or 4 nurses around because I have panic attacks when I see them. I did work experience in a dentist once and they had to send me home because I broke down after they gave someone an injection and made me watch it. It's really embarrassing because all of my friends can just sit there and deal with it but it takes me at least 40 minutes to even be able to stand up after I have an injection

I'm also scared of cats and I have no idea why, they just make me really nervous

[Pumpkaboo]

I'm afraid of crowds, bees, elevators, and being set on fire.

You know, the usual.

[Dragon Master Mike]

I'm also scared of cats and I have no idea why, they just make me really nervous

My cousin had a really mean cat that I used to see a lot when I was little. Since then I can never look at a cat without getting nervous that its going to try and claw my eyes out of their sockets.

Also thought I would add on to my previously posted list of fears:

Certain types of bugs freak me out. Bees will make me run for the nearest shelter, and spiders will make me leave a room and not go back until someone goes in and kills it for me. Alright, maybe those were exagerations, but you get the point. I try to stay away from most insects.

[Steel Lunpara]

I always have this nagging feeling that one day, something's going to happen and leave me disabled, making me lose my motor skills, or the ability to walk, or god forbid, my eyesight. In terms of genuine fears, I'm afraid of anything with a stinger, as well as needles. That's the end of the ones that make sense. See, I have this thing called Mysophobia. It's the fear of mushrooms, and fungi in general. Just the idea of them makes my skin crawl, and if you add the word "infection" to it, I'm just gonna leave the room. That's it.

[VeloJello]

Ooh, I have more since my last post!!! I have discovered that I have ~trypophobia~, which is the fear of clusters of small holes. Think beehives or strawberry seeds for examples, but do not google image search the word itself because there are really graphic pictures! It's not so much a fear fear as a general feeling of unsafeness - sometimes, if I'm prepared, I get on just fine, but if I suddenly see a wasps' nest or something I have reactions that range from skin crawling and nausea to complete and abject panic preceding the former. Just thinking about things that trigger it is giving me goosebumps and shudders.

[legendary_addict]

Well...if it's fears you're talking about, you'll find very little in me.

My greatest fear id death itself. I know that everyone will pass away sometime in the future, but I just can't imagine what will happen after I pass away... My second is probably my parents, either getting scolded, or waiting for them to arrive. The reason behind it is because I always worry about what will happen to them. Will they separate? Will they ever return? Will they think the same of me when I do something without thinking it through? The third is losing someone dear to you (which is the reason why I watch sad anime, to help me overcome this fear)

That's pretty much it, since drowning counts as death, being forced to kill your loved one counts as the third, and I've overcome my fear of heights. Not a lot if you ask me, I feel like I'm Tobias from Divergent :P

[Song 7]

Maggots. I had a hamster when I was 6 and it died, but I forgot to throw the hamster food out. I woke up one day to find them crawling on my ceiling. I felt really ill for the next few days, and the thought hit me that I probably also accidentally ate one because they fell off the ceiling easily. Also not helped by a very, very NSFW fic I read about a year ago involving maggots.
It's weird because just thinking about it just makes me feel a little ill but nothing else, but actually seeing them makes me throw up more times than not. Bonus points if I come across them in real life, as I will vomit on your favourite jeans.

I also get panic attacks when I go to see children's pantomimes, and I'm not sure why. Not performing in children's pantomimes, or going to see something like Shakespeare or Les Mis or something like that, but just going to see children's pantomimes. This I don't understand.

[3m0d0ll]

I'm afraid of robots, or any type of humanoid AI, really. I can't even sit through Wall-E or anything similar, even though I love its message. I think it's mainly because I'm worried about some iRobot stuff going down where they mutiny and they'll be able to take us over. The fact that in 50 years people are going to have robots follow them around like company terrifies me, partially because of robots being so common place, and partially because I know I'll be forced to rarely leave my home due to fear of said robots. :c

We had to write an essay on drones (in the context of robotic soldiers in the military, flying/moving spy-cams, etc) in English and I nearly had a panic attack in class. I couldn't even finish the essay, but I wrote my thesis and bullet-pointed my reference data so my teacher gave me full credit. But yeah, robots really freak me out.

[Commander Shepard]

I'm really not afraid of anything, at least anything relevant at the time. Okay, I admit, I'm personally afraid of Roaches. Those things are like the spawn of satan and they terrify the heck out of me. Whenever I see one running around on the ground It just freaks me out so darn much. I'm a 6'4" man and when I see one bugger I scream and jump like a little girl. Other than that I'm scared of absolutely nothing. I don't even fear Death himself. I've let giant tarantula crawl and creep over me, I've picked scorpions up with my bare hands, and I've let centipedes run and dash against my feet. And to add too it, I've been trapped in an elevator on floor 34 before!
