Your greatest fear?

[SmilingKitsune]

squirrels, clowns, and shaq

I might have misunderstood you here but by shaq do you mean the basket ball player?

 

[snake_charm]

some of mine are angering/bothering people, being left by someone thinking I'm too weird, and most insects

 

[Mean Mother Rucker]

I'd have to say people in general. Not entirely sure why, but I get rather flustered, nervous, and quiet when I talk to people I don't know at least moderately well.

That's just being antisocial. Don't worry, though. I suffer from it too.
Haha! You're like me!

But on a more serious note *ahem*, I have a serious fear of drowning. Won't go anywhere near a body of water large enough to dunk my head in and proceed to gurgle and thrash about until my painful death.

Heights also freak me out. I mean dying by falling doesn't scare me a bit. You get to fly before you get squashed into a Rorschach inkblot test in the middle of a street, thereby inconveniencing innumerable amounts of people. What's not to love? But just being able to see that the really 200 foot tall hot-dog stand with the neon signs and dancing strippers on it looks like the tip of a needle as you are precariously perched on the ledge of some generic building would terrify all of the excretables out of me.

And the dark. Not like night-light scared, but if I see a dark room, I avoid it like a cloud of airborne AIDS is in there. The thought of crazy people in dark rooms waiting for me to come by and die by their hands in some grisly way makes me quite jittery.

awesome i'm not alone, on all counts. when i'm home alone I generally end up with every light in the house on, especially if it's stormy outside

Oh, hell yes. I even turn on some happy music, 'cause you can't get murdered to Changes by Tupac, now can you?

 

[Aqualung]

I don't know. I honestly don't. Someone can pick a fear for me, though.

 

[darkless]

Height's, I haven't come across my greatest fear yet but looking sown from a great height unnerves me.

 

[Aschenkatza]

Needles and the dark. You never know what is gonna happen in the dark. A creak could be a killer walking up your stairs, or that TV control that fell from the table in the other room could be a burglar.

Silence also freaks me out, I start to imagine things >.>

 

[BNguyen]

Snakes are at the top of my list.
Iused to have a fear of heights until I overcame it during a class in school. At that time, I threw away my fear in order to help someone with their own fear of heights.

 

[Lios]

Being buried alive. Simply the thought of it is unbearable to me.

 

[Chalice_of_Agony]

Deep water. Like middle of the ocean. I don't know, just the idea of this dark abyss right beneath me really freaks me out.

 

[Berithil]

My greatest fear is more of a situation than a phobia. The thing that creeps me out the most is some sort of apocalypse. I'm not sure why. It might be the lonliness factor; that there is no one around but me. I'm fine in the dark as long as I havent watched Darkness Falls recently.

 

[Yokai]

I used to be severely acrophobic but I've mostly grown out of it. Let's say I'm afraid of precarious heights. I also have a phobia of deep water (anything more than fifteen feet) and so generally don't do too well on boats. On a subconscious level, I've always been afraid of elevators, not because I was claustrophobic, but because I was afraid the cables would snap and send me to a grisly death splattered all over the elevator ceiling thirty stories below.

 

[atv_chic_18]

Insects (Mainly spiders though) and sharks. I'm not scared of insects, I just don't like them. They are annoying. Likewise for snakes. Sharks are the main scare.

 

[ExplodingSims]

Spiders.
And some larger insects.

 

[Delicious]

I don't know. I honestly don't. Someone can pick a fear for me, though.

Fearaphobia, a fear of fearing things. Or just a fear of fear. Not sure.

Still is a good one I think.

All fears linked to death?
A woman at my mum's old work was scared of shirt buttons, explain that one!

As for my own fears... just pain really, anything that might hurt or injure me is off putting. I guess I'm a bit of a weeemp

Edit: also, ghosts don't kill you. They do in RPGs yeah but in real life, assuming they exist, there's not been any recorded cases of death by ghost.

The buttons thing - bad childhood experience where someone has choked on a button?? Grasping at straws I know and highly unlikely - but hey, it's possible.

And as for ghosts - just because there are no recorded deaths by ghost doesn't mean that it hasn't happened. The police would look pretty stupid if they said, all the evidence points to a killer ghost, wouldn't they??

Don't defy me, child, I'm God's cousin!

 

[Fairee]

Don't defy me, child, I'm God's cousin!

First of all, don't call me child. I'm more than a year older than you.

Secondly, I don't care if you are God himself, I will defy anyone I want to. And it's his fault for giving us something called FREE WILL!!!!!!!!!

And thirdly, (taking me a while but I will think of a thirdly), aha, thirdly, you can't be that much of a wimp if you're arguing with me. My nickname was rottweiler due to my ability to keep going until I won debates.

Arguing my wimpdom? Now it's personal! *glove slap*
Pistols at dawn... CHILD!

Thanks, i think i first heard it in a bill bailey stand up routine and couldn't be bothered to look it up.

That's where I heard it as well. Glad I could help!
