Default What Are You Scared Of?

So, I think there was a fear thread here before, but I can't find it, so this one will have to do. Here are some things I'm scared of:

1. Spiders/Scorpions
2. Bees/Wasps/Hornets
3. Heights
4. Flying
5. Fish hooks


So, that means I am an arachnophobic, apiophobic, acrophobic, aviophobic, and there is no word for the phobia of fish hooks because it is probably rare, haha.

Here is a phobia list I found: http://phobialist.com/

Check this out; Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words. Now I have a fear of long words because I don't want to spell that ****!

So, what are you guys scared of?

I think I can safely say that could be a fear that belongs to everyone, except of course, for men who like fat women.

Generally when they are alone they only pose an immediate threat to themselves. When they start to gather a force similar to gravity begins to manifest and the groups start to grow. This is when things can get ugly

I should also add stupid people with authority to the things I am scared of

I don't do roller coasters, either. Not because I'm scared of them, but because I would get sick. I get motion sickness easily. I never ride carnival/fair rides, though. If it can be assembled and disassembled in a short amount of time, I will not even think about it.

I'm claustrophobic.... MAJORLY.

I always have nightmares of getting stuck in vents. Or under things like houses and not being able to escape.

How do you explain those shirts then? Lol I just had to do it, didn't intend to offend.

I'm an arachnophobic, but that's about it. I'm afraid I will end up as a loser in life, like not getting into dental school or get a good job, stuff like that.

I just thought of another; I have a fear of the unknown, I guess one could say. It's not necessarily of everything unknown, so I don't know exactly how to put it.

To explain it the best I can: I'm an excessive worrier. I worry about things, to the point of where my nerves are shot to hell, i.e. can't eat, can't sleep, can't concentrate on anything that isn't what I'm currently worried about, etc. If I don't know what's going on or if I'm not in control of a situation, I feel this feeling of utter helplessness, which ultimately leads to my worrying. It's always about stupid ****, too. Things that I can rationalize and tell myself I don't need to worry about, yet I continue to worry. I always think 'what if this happens' or 'what if that happens', when in reality, the things I'm worried about are hardly ever worth the stress I put myself and my mind through. I'm a fan of internal rationalization, so I'm still trying to fix that part of myself, because I ******* hate it. It is the one fear I have that I am not able to rationalize so that makes it even more difficult to overcome.

I'm going to have nightmares now. I never knew such a creature existed. My eyes tear up just looking at that ******* thing. I hope it dies.

jeez ppl...its not a spider...or a scorpion...its its own species of arachnid... and... Its mandibles are so small that it couldnt bite you if it wanted to. Those arms look mean, but they are only for grabbing and couldnt stand a chance against a mouse, let alone a human.

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 hate spiders... well not being near them, or seeing them... just that terrible sensation when they crawl on the back of your hand. I dealt with it all summer at work cleaning old boats. They love those nice dark corners

Lol... yah, its called a "Tail-less whip scorpion", but the name is misleading.

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
