What terrifies you?

[Mr.Squishy]

Robots, puppets, and other things in the uncanny valley are exceptionally scary to me, as well as clowns.
Also, brain damage and the inevitability and finality of death.

 

[qpc]

Loosing my sense of hearing. I couldn't imagine not listening to my music. I'd rather loose my sight.

 

[Little Woodsman]

Anything bad happening to my kid.
Seriously, you don't know what fear *is* until you become a parent.

 

[FPLOON]

I'm afraid of being quoted on a forum... (LOL)

OT: Nothing... I only scream when I fangirl over something... I sweat because I tend to wear sweaters on hot weather days... And I run on top of that because those cars on the road could kill me because of how fast they're going beyond the speed limit...

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Being tortured. Having peeled off, tendons split slowly, eyes popped, finger nails removed, genitals mutilated and such.

I would rather get bitten by a spider or a snake, I live in Australia.

Shh, only tears now.

 

[Vigormortis]

What terrifies me?

The realization that as humanity's pool of knowledge grows, and our technology advances, that our intellect, rationality, and logical thinking seems to be dwindling.

Basically: that Mike Judge's "Idicracy" might be becoming a reality...

I suppose you could turn that into a satirical survival/horror game. One wherein you must fight to survive against packs of hungry idiots or rampaging robots, all the while trying to solve the impossible task of using a can opener.

 

[Diddy_Mao]

Spiders, I just don't trust the little bastards.

"Oh but without them we'd be overrun with other bugs."

Fine...we'll breed more birds, just keep those 8 legged fuckers away from me.


Also, the ocean.

That's an ecosystem we are simply not suited to and I don't see any reason we should go farting around down there for sport. Everything in the ocean is terrible and wants to eat and/or poison you.


And clowns.
Well no that's not entirely true. I'm not afraid of clowns, I just don't trust them. I find myself suspect of anyone who intentionally lives a costume heavy lifestyle.

 

[Zeraki]

Needles... I may not have a crippling fear of them like when I was a kid, but it's still present.

I actually have a reason for my fear though. When I was about 3 years old I went to the hospital to get blood drawn, the phlebotomist who was working on me was horrible. I've been a very difficult stick ever since I was very little, my veins move a lot and my skin is really thick in certain areas. To give you an idea I had to go into the hospital recently for an elevated heart rate and shortness of breath... it took five people to get my blood.

Anyway, back to the actual story. This woman was trying to get a vein and instead of taking time to find a vein somewhere else or being gentle, she just starts digging around with the needle. I was in tears, it felt like it was taking hours and I was trying to be quiet the entire time. From then on until my late teens, whenever I had to get blood drawn or get a shot I would practically start having a panic attack because of the memory of that experience. Now I'm able to deal with it, but for most of my childhood it was a crippling fear.

 

[ShinyCharizard]

These motherfucking bastard spawns of hellfire.

Spoiler: Spiders Ahoy!

They have an annoying habit of chilling out in my bedroom.

 

[username sucks]

I used to always fear muggers or crazies of some sort attacking me. Heights used to scare me so much that I couldn't bring myself to climb down a ladder. Death and insanity were also fears. My biggest fear was that I was a failure, weaker in some way than the average person. Now I really just don't care about any of these things. Maybe from my constant nightmares or some other psychological shit about sadness and loss.

Mostly all that ever scares me now are my nightmares. When I think about them, what terrifies me in my dreams often does not scare me at all in real life. Last night I remember the most intense feeling of dread, horror and shock I have ever felt in my life. What happened in the dream that left a feeling in my gut that lasted most of the day?

A nuclear bomb going off. That's it. I had powers in my dream, and I was thrown like a rag doll by an explosion that was miles away. I felt horror that I was not able to save everyone, an that I was powerless to save anyone now that I was dying.

But you see, I don't care about being a hero in real life. I hear stories on the news of countless deaths, and I couldn't care less if the victims died painfully or left families behind. I hardly even fear my own death anymore. Hell, I stood up to a mugger with a knife a few months ago.

So to answer your question, my dreams terrify me. I go to sleep every night wondering if I'll be spared fear for a night, get a new terror, or get a visit from the old Red Mind monster I have created.

Heights and Open Spaces.


Heights is rather obvious, but open spaces really unnerves me. Not being outside in the street, but say out in a desert, or ocean....things like that make me feel just so small and exposed and completely vulnerable. ( not that I regularly go out in the desert or ocean, but when I was, it was a very frightening experience. having peeps around helps, but only to some degree.)

The thought of losing my best friend.

Does anyone else have this?

When I'm in a stall in the men's washroom at my work and when another person in the washroom goes to dry their hands under the hand dryer, the noise the hand dryer makes terrifies me, it's so loud I begin to shake (or is that slightly rock back and forth?) and plug my ears to try to cut out the noise. It's just so loud that I can't hear anything and my paranoia goes through the ceiling I start thinking something is going to grab me from under the stall.

The idea that this existence is created, or at least perpetuated, out of my solitary mind.

The idea that I've yet to experience true pain, after chronic kidney stones, bladder stones and constant kidney infections. The self-doubt, the ignominy that I've felt, is nothing as to what's to come.

The concept that, after death (or even in life), there is additional pain, torment and torture I've yet to endure.

The idea of death, the concept that this constant starvation & devouring and blended with these peaks of pleasure, must end.

I could go on, but what's the point? I've thought about this for years and we're still fucked. Who cares?

If life has taught me anything it's that: it can always get better or worse and everything is relative.

Terrifying.

Also, the prospect of living a stagnant life devoid of merit and dying alone and unloved. But I think that would be harder to put in a game.

You could give X-Rebirth a try.

I'm not bitter!

OP: I'm frightened of winged insects because you can't see them because they're always behind your head and they crawl in your ear to sting your brain and you die.

I remember one day when I was a young lad I kept getting this odd scrabbling sound from within my ear. No matter how much I scratched or shook my head it wouldn't go away.

Later that day I was helping my mum in the garden when a beetle crawled out of my ear and just flew away.

The government. And not in like a conspiracy new world order illuminati sort of way. I'm afraid of getting hit with a fucking tax revision or some shit. Last time I did my taxes I accidentally wrote a 300 instead of a 200. Turns out that's a $1700 mistake. Hell, I remember the first year I worked I made something 800-900 bucks. Didn't save my reciepts so I ended up paying like 350. Then they revised me for another 120. I don't know, something about being under a government that will try to bleed dry a law abiding 16 year old who made under a grand doesn't sit right with me. And thanks to that 1700 dollars I just had to send off, I'm now in debt, so if they arbitrarily decide I owe an insane amount of money again I'm fucking screwed.

But hey, at least I get to keep this cool sinus infection I've had for 9 years. Sure glad we don't live in one of those socialisms where that money actually goes to something.

Large bodies of water, like oceans and seas.

Oddly large, open tracts of land are pretty intimidating to me, especially if there are no landmarks visible. Doubly oddly, I don't get this effect when out on the water.

Bearing in mind that I live in Australia... spiders.

I don't freak out if I see one sitting on the wall or whatever, but I find it nearly impossible to relax if I know there's one in the room. If I look down and see one touching me or crawling on me, that's when I freak out. Well, actually, that's not quite right. First I get really calm in a very brittle sort of way, flick the bugger off, then I freak the fuck out.

I feel your pain, i'm just glad Funnel webs aren't as prevalent on the gold coast, the difference between you and me though, is, once I see a spider, it has to die, no matter the type or the size, if it never enters my sight, then it can live out its life. As soon as one touches me, all bets are off. I just can't deal, I lose it. Happens to a lesser extent with ants.

Balloons. I know that seems like such a minor phobia but I just hate being around them. They squeak, they pop, they feel uncomfortable. Just being near them makes me cringe.

I hate balloons as well, you're not alone.

I'm also scared of heights, needles, and lightning storms.
