I don't do:

Spiders
Dentists (mouth work scares me)



And who's pronouncing this: Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- Fear of the number 666.

My biggest fear is that my children would disappear.

My unrational fear is of dental work, which I have had and still need a lot of.

I will admit to being anacrophobic, but I'm working through that by watching them in my yard and in corners where most people dont go. My dreams were getting out of hand with getting caught in webs and big *** spider right in the middle crawling all over me. 3 times a week I would wake up in a panic. I've got garden spiders that span very large webs across my yard, so at night I always carry a flashlight so I can avoid a run in with them.

I also fear heights, but I'm fascinated with it so it's more of an adrenline rush that makes my knees weak

Claustrophobia, Can't deal with it at all. Went to the caverns in NC mountains and I had a terrible time with it. Total darkness + no room to breathe= panic attack.

And I fear when my family is on the road, and I'm not with them. My family is all I have that I personally can't do without..

Bear Grylls ate one of them in one of his shows. They also ate them on Fear Factor many years ago.

its ugly...yeah...but I would fear many bugs over this one...namely ones with poison.
I don't give a damn if that thing doesn't bite or pinch. If I saw one of those bastards, I'd probably have a severe panic attack and then ******* die. The ugliness is it's poison. That is one hideous creature.

they are 100% harmless if they dont give you a ******* heart attack if they land on you. I think it is the ugliest god damn thing to ever disgrace the earth with its presence.

there is a pet shop here at the mall that has some of these for sale for like 40 bucks.

here is a little info on these god forsaken monsters

I hate you for showing that **** to me. I was just fine not knowing those things are walking this earth. If one of those landed on me, I'd stomp the **** out of it (unless I ran away first, which would probably happen.)

As far as spiders go, I'm not scared of them anymore.

Theres two lethal types here in ky, the brown recluse (fiddler) and the black widow. I've encountered both.

The brown recluse's live in my upstairs bedroom in the loft of the house and attack waspers and hornets. I live on top of a mountain so the tin on the room gets reallly warm and insects like it. I have seen some brown recluses walking in my room, I still havent gotten bit yet.

I seen a black widow when i was young playing with a tonka truck out where we just bulldozed some land. It was terrifying and I stomped it.

My cousin had a tarantula and I was holding it and I accidentally breathed on it, and it cringed up on my and i thought it was biting me and i dropped it a good 5 foot drop, i dont know if it hurt it. But I learned that they wont bite you because they know they cant kill you and it will take too much of their energy to survive.

My snake is awesome. He's nice. If all snakes were like Bones, no one would be scared of them.

I'm Claustrophobic, not so much just with tight spaces, but it has to be fully enclosed for it to bother me.

I hate snakes, but I'm not scared of them, same goes with spiders..

I don't know that I'm really scared of anything to be honest..

Zombies?

Another thing I forgot to mention that I am afraid of; elevators. I will not ride in one unless it is absolutely necessary. I have a friend that is in the hospital due to getting her gall bladder removed. I took her lunch today. I walked up 10 flights of stairs instead of using the elevator.

Zombies? Really? No.. Slow, frankenstein wannabes, just target practice!

You're scared of an elevator? SRSLY? WUSS!!!!! You're suddenly not so high on the "tough girl" scale.

No, honestly.. I'm not scared of death, I'm not scared of heights, flying, speed, or anything like most people are. I don't like things like spiders or snakes, but they don't scare me. I dunno, I guess I'm just too level headed to worry about that kind of stuff. I have come to the conclusion that what will be, will be and there is nothing that can be done to change that, I'm going to do my best to experience life and all that it has to offer, screw being scared, you only live once.

Soooo...if you were walking to a bar or something like that, and some dude pulled a 45 out and pointed it at your face...you wouldnt be scared?

what if a terrorist kidnapped you and took you to a terrorist torture camp where they were going to rip off your fingernails and spray acid on your face...would you be scared then?

You see what Im getting at. Everyone is scared of something. they just might not know it yet.

You're talking about "what if's" I'm talking about everyday things that scare you, and I think that's the point of this thread.

If someone pulled a gun on me, I would be freaked out, but I would be more scared/worried for Jessi and the rest of my family than myself.

It's moreso the 'dropping' feeling from the elevator. You know how when you're almost to the floor you're supposed to be at and the elevator drops just a slight bit before the doors part? That is what I'm scared of. It just feels like the floor is falling out from underneath me. Since elevators make me feel like that, I guess one could say I'm scared of them, too.

At least I can hold a snake and not be freaked out.

Thats not a spider either. But that one could gnaw your fingers off, or bore into your eye socket and tear out pieces of your brain. Its a Camel Spider...(but again, not a spider)

Amanda is afraid of elevators. She will ride in them, but I make it worse by jumping up and down in them. They shake, and creates the illusion that things are moving inside the elevator, she freaks out, it's hilarious.
