I fear heights. It is a paralyzing fear for me, but one I have attacked by climbing mountain trails and riding on Ferris Wheels. I also fear being helpless. A number of years ago I was hospitalized. I was told to expect to be there at least a month, but I pushed my recovery at every opportunity and was out in two weeks.
i have this huge fear of hights. I'm 14 and i have NEVER been on an air plane and i dont plan on going on one any time soon. Also sometimes when i think I see something move on the ceiling i automatically look at where I thought i saw something ever since me and my family came home and i went in my room and there was a spider on the ceiling I was too scared to go under it cause i thought it would fall on to me once I walked under it
I fear that my thoughts may eventually become so all-consuming that I eventually collapse into a catatonic state of self-imposed virtual reality from which I can never recover, my dreams slowly becoming more diluted and nightmarish as my physical self becomes more and more withered. That, and Communists.
same as Hull. i am terrified that i will fail in life and sit at home doing nothing. i want to get out there and make a difference, have a big and exciting career, fall in love and write a book to name a few. and i am scared that i will do none of them. i am also pertified of needles. Heather
A meaningless death. And, because of that, to a degree also old age. "Old soldiers don't die, they just fade away". (As said by General McArthur, I think)
Oddly, although I too suffer from a fear of heights, I enjoy air travel. In a plane, I am completely enclosed, and feel utterly relaxed unless I'm squeezed between large sweaty grunters. Yet I was on a ladder ten meters above the ground for a summer job, and froze up so badly two coworkers had to climb up and bring me back down. Who ever said phobias were simple?
Who ever said that is a liar or never had a fear. I'm so afraid of heights i cant walk down the stairs at the mall
The biggest fear for ME is drowning. I almost drown when I was twelve, and my big sister swam right out and saved me. Biggest fear for my children? Car accidents, and being unsucessfull in their adult life...
Not really scared of most physical hazards. Heights? I'm a rock climber, no problem there. Insects/crawly things/gribbly things? as long as they don't bite me, I don't get bothered by them. Still feels creepy to have one crawl over you though. I had a wasp crawl behind my glasses once. Creepy feeling. I suppose the only thing that really scares me any more is the thought of losing a child, when I have kids. That scares the dickens out of me.
Uhh, I think we will all do that when we get old. Not much happens in old age, so we have to revert back to the days when we had a life, and a story to tell. I can see myself now, with the remember whens, and that time...
I'm not scared of heights, as long as I know I'm safe and there's no way I'm going to fall. If I'm rock-climbing, that's a different story. Last time I got so scared I almost cried. Spiders? They creep me out, but I'm not scared of them. When I see one, I just put it in a cup and throw it outside, unless it's poisonous. Then I have to kill it. I, like most other people, am afraid to lose my family and friends. But those things are small and not really very frightening. I'm really scared that we're going to damage this world beyond repair. All this war and fighting going on in the world right now is terrible. I'm afriad we're going to take it too far.
I feel sorta silly for saying this, but...tube slides. I think people are going to seal both ends and I'll never be able to get out. :redface: I'm also a bit claustrophobic and I have the fear of heights.
Today I realised I have a mild phobia of escalators. I think I suffer vertigo when I go down them and it just freaks me out. While I'm not scared of planes, for some reason during the descent my ears pop really badly and the tubes puff up and I experience extreme pain for about 15 minutes. A week after the flight lands they're usually still swollen. It's horrible.
Yeah, I'm never going to be good enough- that's the feeling I've been having for the past week or so. Also I fear the strength needed to stand up and walk away.
This is really going to sound strange. I am not really afraid but very very uncomfortable being hugged. If my arms are trapped inside the hug. I really freak out. I love to hug people and Don and the boys have learned to hug me without trapping my arms.
