What is your greatest fear?

[Byere]

I have to agree... wasps, bees, other stinging/buzzing insects like them.

If you want something a little different, dark water. I have an insane fear of darkened water. This could be cloudy or murky waters like you'd see in a river or on the beaches of England, or it could just be something like a swimming pool with half the cover left on. The latter may sound crazy, and I know full well there's nothing in the swimming pool, but the very idea of going near dark water scares the hell out of me.

Wasps are usually not stinging insects I'm pretty sure, they tend to bite. Bees are the asshole harpoon guns. If I am right, enjoy your liberation from fear. If not, enjoy our hostile planet.

Not only are they vicious little sting machines, they (unlike bees) don't lose their stingers and die after they attack you. No, they retain that little poison-pricking harpoon and can get you MULTIPLE TIMES.

UGH.

Insects and arachnids and physical contact with strangers (even bumping into someone on the street gets me panicky...).

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

My worst fear? A painful terrifying death.

Also zombies.


But if we're talking real, non-silly phobias, I have to say wasps. Mother. Fragging. WASPS.

I hate those things. They make me freak the hell out. >_<

 

[Zarmi]

Pft.. I fear nothing, for I am fear incarnate.

On a serious note, betrayal. Been stabbed in the back by too many people.

Uhh...They bite, not sting. THAT'S how they get the "poison" inside you without dying (a bee's stinger will get caught in any big creature to it'll rip their butt off when they try to get away after).

Spiders.... Stupid freaking spiders! I hate them so much. I have nightmares about spiders.
Just thinking about spiders gives me the creeps.

 

[CheesyGrin1992]

Well as general day to day fears, spiders and heights make me feel very uneasy. But those I can cope with.

But as a serious, actual phobia? This stuff.

Spoiler

I have chionophobia. A genuine phobia of snow. If it snows while I'm indoors, I hibernate, and do everything I can to avoid going outside in the stuff.

If I'm caught out in the snow, then I start suffering panic symptoms. A horrific dread just spreads through me, I start to hyperventilate. If I don't get indoors and get the panic under control, it can lead to fainting. Not pleasant, especially when the only thing to land on is the very thing that caused the fainting in the first place.

Use to be much worse. Used to be that even the slightest ground frost would do this to me. Thankfully, I've started to learn how to cope. Still gets to me quite badly though. At the first sight of snowfall I become very restless, pacing, unable to sleep well. I have to force myself out into it in stages and keep pushing myself. Make a snowball, mess with it, retreat inside. Make a tiny snowman, mess with it, retreat. I can take several days but I'm at the stage where it no longer stops my life completely. Thankfully.

This is deep and rather enlightning thank you

 

[thom_cat_]

Helplessness.

If I can't change a bad situation that scares me shitless.

 

[FamoFunk]

Water with rocks in them.
The fear that comes over me is un real. I hate it so much, I always picture myself being stuck under the rock and drowning.

 

[DragonBorn96]

I have a fear of loneliness, I can't at all stand being isolated from people, drives me loopy loo

 

[Toaster Hunter]

My greatest fear is heights.

Actually, not the heights, its the sudden stop after I fall that terrifies me.

 

[thedevilscousin]

I suffer from something called enochlophobia, which is fear of large groups. It's not THAT bad but i freeze up when i'm in a large crowd and try to get out.... It has created problems during school when large groups emerge, but it just try to avoid these situations.

I also have an extremely irrational fear of non-excistence. Not death itself, but knowing that maybe, one day my conciousness will come to an end and i will cease to be. That scares me.

Also clowns.... fucking clowns.

And also despite my fear of large groups, i hate being alone. Be it without my friends or having nothing to do... i kinda fear it

Also during my "bad" periods (i'm bipolar) i tend to ponder on a lot of depressive things, and bum people out....

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Sir, I just want to say thank you, you saved my life...

Wait a second, you're not Coach Carter!

 

[standokan]

Death, by far.

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

Babies and stairs.

Babies chronically stare and I always fall down stairs. I make it down a flight of stairs safely about 10%. I can't even go up stairs without tripping and falling forward.

Uhh...They bite, not sting. THAT'S how they get the "poison" inside you without dying (a bee's stinger will get caught in any big creature to it'll rip their butt off when they try to get away after).

Nope.

I suffer from heterophobia. Really!
