What's your fears BG?

[Moss]

yeah lol. i had a run in with bedbugs when i was in ITT tech over in nashville a couple years back. they reproduce so fucking rapidly. it cost the dorm/hotel home like 2k for the exterminators to come and get rid of it, and it STILL wasnt 100% gone after. they had to sprinkle powder on the bed legs so that they would die when they tried to climb up to suck our blood lol

was scary man. i can remember laying in the tub and seeing bugs, 1 by 1 surface up. ugh

it took me about a 6 months to get REAL sleep again. it sucks waking up in the middle of the night feeling little bugs crawling on your chest and your body all over the place

That sounds awful, I would need psychiatric help if that happened to me. Also getting stuck crawling in an enclosed place like a tunnel and being unable to turn around... shudder.

Claustrophobia and my house catching on fire.

One time I was on my way home and I saw this huge cloud of smoke rising from around where my house was and I could hear sirens from fire trucks and a few amberlamps, scared the fuck out of me.

Numbers stations, fuck that shit.

Chucky the doll

Freddy Kreuger, that part when he comes out of people's stomach's. Everytime my stomach made a weird noise, brix were shat.

The ocean. Can't swim in it because I convince myself I'm going to be pulled down by a giant squid.

Also holes. Like the holes in a honeycomb, a piece of swiss cheese or a lotus pod. Oh god. Nothing terrifies me as much as a cluster of holes.

[Khelek]

Bees. Motherfucking bees. Heights are pretty terrible too.

Worst fear of all though, I was trying to find a picture of. But I couldn't find one that didn't have sharks, whales or dolphins or fish or what have you in them.

This pic without the animals = greatest fear ever:

Spoiler: show

Endless ocean underwater. no floor, nothing to any sides. Can't tell if there's something beyond the range of vision. FUCK that shit.

sharks? really?

i guess im afraid of a UFO encounter lol. there have been nights where i've witnessed shit in the sky that didnt make any sense, but i just passed it off as no big deal. im sure it really was just my imagination

Oh my fuckin god. Back when i was like 7-10 years old, my parents house has sort of a forest/swampy area near the backyard and you can't really see anything past it. another notable thing about our backyard was that there is a lamp somewhere in that forest that shines fairly brightly. I saw this documentary on alien abduction, I woke up in a sweat from an alien nightmare and looked outside and I thought the light was a UFO. I fucking flipped my shit, and cried so hard and yelled lol.

Natural Selection.

[Shalyn]

Pretty sure it's now that Japanese moaning mouth...

But also, heights, tall buildings, end of the world, and being stuck somewhere like above mentioned tight tunnel. Pretty sure there is more. I think I'm developing a 'large bodies of water' fear as well. Was driving by Lake Ontario and saw a lot of water and waves and started to get a little freaked out.

[spraysh1t]

I'm scared of bees. Those fuckers kamikaze your ass.

[Dolmen]

Being in a plane crash. More specifically, being in a window seat, watching the ground come closer and closer until BAM.

Also, Praying Mantises. They freak me way the fuck out with their lifeless stare.

I had a run in earlier this year. There's a big infestation going on in NYC apparently and I'm guessing someone in my brother's apartment building brought them in because after all the months I had been staying at his house, I started getting bug bites outta nowhere. At first I didn't know wtf it was. Thought it was like mosquito bites or some skin disease but then I realized it was too cold for mosquitos and the symptoms of the skin disease didn't match up with anything that I looked up.

Then I saw the effects of bed bug bites and looked them up and how hard they were to get rid of and I had to stop going to his house because I wouldn't be able to sleep properly due to immense paranoia. Mom's all like just spray bug spray on the couch and I'm sitting here looking at her like "If that shit was that easy, don't you think I'd have the common sense to do that shit?" However, I kept my mouth shut because mom logic is the worst kinda logic to argue against.

I get pretty uneasy when It's a blue sky (no clouds) and I look straight up, without being able to see anything but blue. Especially if I do it on a swing makes me feel really uneasy.

[Venga]

Suffocation/drowning..... bout it. Not afraid of water by any means though.

Apparently this is the most euphoric way to die. When your lungs have filled with water then the lack of oxygen makes you just trip out hardcore, although i have no idea how this has been discovered.....

Don't really have any unusual fears, pretty common ones like spiders. Really hate the idea of being burgled, just the way its such an invasion on somewhere so safe.

[NynJa]

I'm afraid of railings/heights, kinda. I have partial trust issues, so looking down over a railing makes me feel uneasy that I could be leaning on it, and it'll break and I"ll fall to my death. Same with ledges, that some asshole would go "LOL" and push me off >.> I'm not afraid to go on planes, or amusement park rides though.

Been on that without any problems.

[Kurp]

I'm almost surprised that I'm not the only one to occasionally get the feeling there is a sniper drawing aim on me. It's such a silly fear, but it's powerful when it occurs.

I'm also only sometimes afraid of heights. I can climb a 100 foot fire lookout tower that has a nice base to stand on, but look over the railing and instantly feel terrible. The next day I could climb nearly as high on a power line tower, hear that distinctive sound that high power lines put off, and feel completely fine. Maybe it is an issue with trust or railings, I hadn't thought of that before.

[Yuri-G]

any kind of bug infestation. bedbugs are the scariest, but fleas or lice would be horrible too. it's not even the consequences of the infestation so much as it is the thought of doing through endless measures to clean them out only to realize you forgot a step or got unlucky somehow and they're still around and you have to start all over. plus, I don't think I could sleep on a bed with bedbugs in it. too freaky knowing they're just gonna come out in a bit.

cancer. deathly afraid of cancer. every bump I get on my skin, I think it's melanoma. although I've gotten better about it, I still worry sometimes. and every bad cold I get, I think is lung cancer (due to certain habits).

hmm let's see, what else... intense pain. and I don't mean just any kind of pain, I can handle a lot. but I'm terrified of ever having a kidney stone again, that shit is on a whole other level. it's hell on Earth.

on that note, I'm also very scared of torture. that scene in last week's episode of V with the scours, oh my god. that's like taking my worst fears and making them real, that shit goes beyond any torture device human beings have invented. things like that terrify me.

one thing I'm not afraid of at all that a lot of people seem to fear, is dying alone. not like I'm aiming for it but meh, if it happens it happens. I'd probably just try and find some other old people who were in the same boat and all live together so if one of us collapses, someone else can get help. it's not like I don't want to fall in love but I've seen so many people who are in unhappy relationships, people who settle, people who throw away so much because they just don't want to be alone. screw that.

[chiyio]

Sleep paralysis, every 2 weeks, like it's on a schedule. Gets me every time.

I have problems with this as well. shit SUCKS.

Besides that, can't think of anything off hand.

[Kuya]

I wonder whether these sorts of fears (or at least some of them) have any evolutionary advantage, whether they're caused by genetic or some form of brain malfunction, or whether it's a simple error of consciousness.

I'm almost surprised that I'm not the only one to occasionally get the feeling there is a sniper drawing aim on me. It's such a silly fear, but it's powerful when it occurs.

When there was the DC Sniper scare years ago, that was the weirdest feeling I've ever experienced. Pumping gas you'd see people constantly moving/moving oddly, kneeling behind their car, laying down in the car, etc... until the pumping stopped.

As for heights, I've never had an issue. I feel strong urges to jump whenever I'm up high anywhere, but I've heard that it's a very common urge to have.
