What'chu Skerred Of?

[noxious.sunshine]

What are your biggest fears?

I hate spiders, clowns, and snakes, but my ultimate fear is flying in an airplane. I've done it a few times to go places, but my nerves were shot the entire time - each time. I hated it. And there's no way for me to get over that fear.

[Xanatos]

One of my biggest fears is to sit on a cold toilet seat.

Being misunderstood. Getting an STD. Someone texting or drunk or not paying attention and crash into me and seriously injure me or kill me while driving. Not being able to grow old and have children and see their kids grow up. Heights. The deep ocean.

I'm probably more scared of deep ocean then I am at discovering it. I'm scared of life and not having money and being happy.

I'm also scared I wont be a good boyfriend, or husband or dad or whatever.

[Xanatos]

Joking aside, I'm afraid of not succeeding in life, like being a bum and all people who knew me saying "what happened to this guy, he had so much potential". Letting down my family in one way or another. Being buried alive. All kinds of bugs...

[loaf]

Although I'm working on it, I am scared of what people think of me. I need to stop thinking about what others think of me. If they don't like me for who I am then I don't care for them.

I like you, Loaf. And I'm the only person who matters. So feel good about that!

[OceanEyes28]

The usual suspects. Dangerous people, permanent injury or sickness.

I am afraid of losing the people that I want to protect. I'm most afraid of losing my little brother at the moment. He is in danger, and several states away. And my best friend may or may not have some kind of skin cancer. I feel rather impotent at the moment.

Needed to vent, I suppose.

[Michael Swayne]

I'm afraid of what my mother would do if something were to happen to me. She is the type who wouldn't hesitate to haul off and waylay every person in the vicinity of whoever hurt her precious baby boy.

I'm afraid that one day my heart will freeze from how cold I am to a majority of people.

I'm afraid that if by chance I run out of cat food, Omega, Itsy Bitsy, and U will take their revenge and eat me alive.

There are others, but I think I will wait.

[Sinister]

I'm skerred of bureaucrats and forms. And the person I have to talk to at the counter to fill my tank up with gas, or the boss at work, or the old lady at the checkout. I'm skerred of you, or the people you know and of esophageal cancer and the people running this country...not to mention the people running the other countries. I'm skerred of my family.

But you know what I'm not skerred of? Being at home, with Ozzy, my West Highland Terrier and a bag of chips and salsa, playing FF7. Listening to the rain outside, or getting my paycheck. Finding the time to tutor a kid at school. Or just lazing back in my flimsy-ass kiddie pool(in summer heat) with a beer and a McDonald's hamburger.


Life balances out.

Also one of my fiance's ex girlfriends died during childbirth last night so THAT'S terrifying and very very sad.

Today blows.

[LocoColt04]

Oh no, Alisyn. That's never fun.



I, uh, I don't fear rejection, but I do fear failure. There's a fine line between the two at times, but I really hate to pour my heart into something and feel like I've wasted all of my time at the end of it. I don't have any illusion of perfection, though it's probably what I strive for more than I should. I spend a lot of days saying "man, this was great... but it still wasn't good enough." I should probably lower the standards I place on myself. I push and push to please other people (ha, there's a great innuendo in there) and when they're displeased, THAT is what slays me.

You couldn't lower your standards if you tried. That's what makes you thrive. I have the same problem. Strive for perfection, frustrated when it's not as good as it should be. But we're all human and we know perfection is impossible. Yet, good things come from people who try hard, so it's not really a bad way to live. Stressful sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah, that terrifying, indeed. What's even more terrifying is the probability of such FF's rising sharply.

All in all, I'm afraid of flow of time and wasting it. Afraid of not using time to get the most out of life. Oh well, sometimes it's the trying that counts, not so much as succeeding in something. The journey is what matters.

[Heartless Angel]

Pretty much the only thing I'm really afraid of is non fatal but crippling injury. Loss of limbs, paralysis, that kinda crap. Anything else, meh, whatever. When I was younger I used to be terrified of needles, but then I got a nail in my foot, after that, needles suddenly didn't seem all that bad to me.

[Rocky]

my greatest fears:

Snakes
Scorpions
Getting some kind of uncurable physical deformity or disease, like losing an arm or getting HIV
Going to jail
Not finding a job
Not finding my passion
Being mediocre
Being forgotten by friends and family
Rejection and being unloved
Death

I've got issues lol =/

Lol, seemed pretty realistic to me. I guess I have issues also.

That, and bees/wasps. Pointy little ****ers. I have no problems with any kind of crawling insects, but if it sprouts wings I'm 20x more likely to be afraid of it. I'm creeped out by mosquitoes too, because I'm afraid of getting dengue fever or something...even though it's too cold for those tropical-type mosquitoes to survive down here. So I'm actually afraid of climate change making it more tropical at my latitude. That is quite a specific fear.

[noxious.sunshine]

I also have an extreme fear of being suffocated. I can't stand for my nose &/or face to be covered by anything.

And my lil girl growing up. I cry every yr on her bday. Getting Older (me).

And losing my dad. He's just a heart attack or stroke away from kicking the bucket. He's already had a handful of each & he's only 63.

[Taco-Calamitous]

(Fast forward to like 4:40. Tried to link it so it would start there but it's not working. No, this is not my actual sentiments, I just think it's funny. Julie shouldn't be either, she knows what's what <3)

I'm afraid of things like something happening to my finances, getting kicked out of the Air Force, having to wear my blues (heh) everything back home in Oregon changing while I'm here, etc... Have a PT test tomorrow, afraid of that. Afraid of crazy people, also the dark if I'm in my room back home (but not most other places.) Even though it's getting better because daily I'm around senior NCO's and officers, I'm still intimidated by rank. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

[Rowan]

Scared I might end up in prison one day.
