Crossing bridges by foot, especially those with traffic underneath (for some reason, the rapid movement of the traffic freaks me out).

I'm always afraid that I'll succumb to a sudden temptation to jump and inevitably have to wait for someone to hold my hand and walk me across with my eyes closed.

eeeeuooooow - spiders, good thing my honey's not scared of em.

big crowds - NO!!

most of the other things are getting better with each try :-)

and a fear that's too big to say, cuz I don't want to jinx them :praying:

I have three..

1 Heights without a rail or some sort of barrerer... I can do it but I break out in the sweats and the shakes... Why, yes I do love driving through the mountains....

2 Something horrible would happen to my son.. It used to be my biggest fear, but now that he is out on his own, it's lessened... Lol.. I can't know where he is and what he is doing every day...

3 Not knowing where a loved one is... If someone was supposed to be home at x time and they are not and I haven't gotten a phone call, txt, email... I start to panic... They are dead on the side of the road... I used to say... It's not that I care where you go or how long you stay... I just need to know when to start worring, when to start calling the hospitals and driving the streets.. (I once left a voice mail on a friends phone at 12am telling him that he didn't call me when he was supposed to and now I'm imagining that he has ripped out his stitches and laying in a pool of blood and if he didn't call me back within a half hour, I was calling the ambulance to go make sure he was alive...)

not breathing to the point that i actually smother to death

Sam 11-22-2010 07:48 AM

any type of snake, dead, slithering, rattles. ANY

princessbelle 11-22-2010 08:00 AM

heights as in falling from or looking from or being in or thinking about :|

bugs of any kind, any color, any shape size or ID

A flat tire (I must get triple A, i keep forgetting)

Drowning (learning to swim is also on my to do list)

Something happening to someone I love (i'm a worrier)

the world running out of coffee :tea:

Heights, weird cuz I never was afraid of heights until the last few years. I get vertigo without warning so if I go up, I tether to something.

I fear losing more hours at work and then losing my house and truck, but I'm looking for a job so maybe something will come up at least maybe a part time job

I don't fear crowds but I'm not crazy about being around a a stadium full of people.

I do have a fire fear, but am told that comes from a previous life.

So many of the things that I have feared in the past just don't bother me as much anymore. Don't know if this is a good or bad thing... After going through the deaths of 4 family members and a lover in a short time period, I was very fearful of cancer. Now, I have calmed and know that it is up to me to take care of myself and go in for preventive tests, etc. Not that I am perfect about this at all- those damn personal flaws!! FDR's "there is nothing to fear, but fear itself," rings true for me in terms of doing whatever I need to in terms of combating my own anxieties.

I do fear the rising of the far right to the point of gaining a majority in the US government, however.

What is/are your biggest fears?
 
I'm disabled and deal with chronic pain and mobility limits, so most of my fears revolve around that. I fear not being able to take care of myself when I'm older and losing my independence. I also fear being unwanted and a burden to others.

Tcountry 11-25-2010 10:27 AM

...Not being there...to protect or help a loved one...

Billy 11-25-2010 10:48 AM

Elavators :| Don't like them , I avoid them especially if there are a lot of people in there ..Years ago I was in one , it started to get full , and before I could get off on any floor , it stopped real fast and this drunk guy flew into Me and My first reaction was to turn and bodyslam him to the back of the elavator :| He hit that back and slid down , oppssss :blink:


The one at the hotel for the reunion was a lil freaky for Me , but it was never full and it was fast ...lol :)

Nat 11-25-2010 10:50 AM

I think i have to get out of bed and drive to it right now. :(

ravfem 11-25-2010 11:08 AM

i fear escalators. Nothing traumatic has ever happened on them, i remember riding them as a child and doing fine. But i fear them now to the point that just walking by one makes my palms sweat and my heart race.

i fear giving all of me, and having the recipient eventually say, "no, i changed my mind, i don't want you anymore".

i fear breaking my right arm.

i fear, right at this moment, that i'm going to have to go upstairs and have a come-to-jesus meeting with my new neighbors. OK, maybe "fear" is the wrong word.....or maybe it's right, but not for that reason. Maybe i really fear the beat down imma hafta leave her with. :|

And finally, he pushed my head underwater until I would open my eyes.

I jumped out of that pool and never went back.

From that point on, I was scared of the water. When I was in college, I had to pass a swimming test in order to graduate. :| I failed the test repeatedly, so I had to take a semester of swimming. I learned the basics, but I still couldn't open my eyes underwater.

In 1991, I went to New Braunfels with a bunch of women. We were gonna inner-tube down the Guadalupe. I thought I could do this. Yes, I was scared.

Well....as luck would have it, I didn't paddle to the banks when I was supposed to and my partner and I got swept into the rapids and sucked under.

Long story short (right), I almost drowned. I was pulled to safety by a couple of paramedics who just happened to be close-by.

I'm terrified of drowning. And I'm a Pisces.....sign of The Fish. Go figure.




I've taught hunderds of people to swim, actually do more than swim, to survive in the water. I can teach you too . If you ever want to learn, I can do it in 1 afternoon. Can't teach you to swim in 1 afternoon that takes a few days, but teach you to not fear water anymore and love it, instead of fear it. You can keep your eyes closed the whole time if you like.

a smaller fear of a bigger truth.
 
finding out I was right about everything... and then some.
:confused:

bigbutchmistie 12-01-2010 08:26 PM

Heights... No roller coasters etc for me :)

Dying Alone

Julien 12-01-2010 08:47 PM

Isolation and being alone;
Not achieving my potential;
I have a reoccurring nightmare that I am working in retail sales again, don't want that to happen


1PlayfulFemme 12-01-2010 08:57 PM

My greatest (real) fears:

Being trapped, anywhere...

Being home alone in the dark (even at night sometimes) - we had a break in a few years ago, and I was home alone...and I thank God every day that our pups scared the intruder away...but, I've never been the same.

Failing. Miserably.

Falling apart at the seams..and having no tape, thread, or glue.
