Most embarrassing fear?

[Susan Arendt]

Moths. Ridiculous, I know, but when I was very small, I read a short story about a boy who collected moths. One day, he finds a very odd caterpillar. He nurtures it lovingly, caring for it as it fattens up and then spins its cocoon. The second it emerges from its chrysalis, he takes it and stuffs it in a killing jar. Oddly, he feels as though it's watching him as it dies. He pins it to the wall at the foot of his bed. One night, his parents come in to find that the moth is gone, and the boy has been wrapped in caterpillar silk, his mouth stitched shut.

Freaked me right out, that did. I've been terrified of moths ever since. They always flap right towards your face, the treacherous buggers. I usually put my hand over my mouth and run.

I'm 19 years old and I'm afraid of the dark, you can't beat that you just can't, thats so high on the wuss-o-meter it's not even funny.

I'm in exactly the same position lol

I live in constant fear of a guitar string snapping and taking my eye ever since my freind told me it's what happened to his guitar teacher. it could be bullshit, but i may never know

My friend snapped a string on my guitar and it stuck into his finger, like half an inch in, it was awesome
But unless you can hold the head in front of your eye and bust out a mean solo you're fine

P.S. if you can put it on youtube

 

[crazy-j]

Attractive women... beat that people, you just try to beat that!

Don't worry someday we'll find happiness... not holding my breath though.

well its a good thing other wise you would hold it so log you would die

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

Rejection, Disappointment and such with women. I dunno why.

 

[Vivaldi]

I fear that i will never meet the woman of my dreams and die alone.

 

[Arcyde]

im afraid of forums

 

[DARKLARK]

Turquiose Seashells. There is just something about them thats not right

So is Stephen King, if it makes you feel any better.

Actually that does make me feel better, he's one of my favorite authors.

That my upper torsos attachment to my spine will weaken enough that it falls off. It is not a fear so much as a recurring fantasy but it is still freaky.

You know that's a sure fire way of kicking a heroine addiction without withdrawls.

I'm afraid of large crowds, but when I'm by myself. I guess it is only general paranoia.

I, and im not joking, am slightly afraid of Geddy lee of Rush, Something about him unnerves me.

 

[Zaleznikel]

I've got the standard needles, rejection, bees fears.

I also have a fear of shadows and other moving objects in a dark room. I would rather have a pitch black room than one with a window and a street light next to it. That one's kinda weird.

Also, fear of dropping important/expensive objects out of windows and down cracks. If I have a camera in my hand, and the window is open in the car, I have to hold the camera with both hands, and consciously avoid thinking about it going out the window. If I have a wallet or keys in my hand and I'm walking near a storm grate, I grip it really tightly and avoid the grate, or get over it as fast as possible if I can't avoid it. Weird, huh?

 

[Devil's Due]

Driving. Yeah, I'm very afraid to drive. Sigh.

 

[The Kind Cannibal]

Lightning and/or thunder.

Lightning because it's essentially "out of fucking nowhere your now dead or maimed" kinda of situation that scares the hell out of me. Thunder because, if you here thunder, lightning is close by.

My other would have to be anything moving fast at me or near me. I've been hospitalized 4 different times for being hit by a vehicle, thus anything bearing down on me with speed will make me freak. I flinch like a ***** at flys moving too fast near my vision for christ sake...

just to put you at ease, you're much more likely to see lightning first. by the time you hear the thunder, you're safe

In Florida your never safe.

Also: Large crowds. I cannot talk in large crowds..My voice kinda drifts and such stoping at times. But when I am alone and speaking with 2-3 people my voice is as smooth as a babys skin. I dunno, I can talk on a intercom and such very good so I guess its when a lot of people are paying attention to me it happens.

 

[Sansha]

Mannequins.

 

[sneakypenguin]

I'm afraid of phones, I don't like answering them or calling people. I communicate much better in person.

 

[gamergal126]

I've met a guy scared of roads. Not just driving, but roads.

And... well.. I... i'm terrified of butterflies.

That's right. Butterflies. They just freak me out, coming towards you, like some fluttery little machine of terror.

You can shut up, alright, shut right up.

dude you're not alone... also I'm afraid of birds and seeing The Birds when I was 5 didn't help.
