What Scares the Piss Out of You?

[SpeedoGuy]

* The prospect of religious fanatics gaining control of a nuclear weapon.

* Heights, or more specifically, sheer vertical drops (but can do airplanes, including aerobatics).

* Blindness and/or immobility

* Mass panic and mob mentality run amok.

* Chronic physical pain (have had my bouts with this one).

I don't like any bugs, but for some reason my fear of spiders has gotten worse over time. I can usually deal with them in a compeltely adrenaline fuelled panic - it's not always the best idea though. I tried to kill one I saw on my hallway door, and ended up putting a hole through the interior wall
The key thing is, that if I see one, I can never let it out of my sight once I know it's there, not for anything.
I swear they come for me, I woke up completely at random one night, and exactly above my face on the ceiling was a standard house spider, but an absolutely huge one. People always exagerrate their sizetongue, but I killed this one with a size 11 shoe, and even when curled up and dead its legs still poked out from underneath, it was gargantuan.

Nothing else scares me, that I know of.

Dying in my sleep.

I know a lot of people think it a nice way to go, but I don't think so. The thought of not knowing that my final moment is near scares me more than the thought of dying itself. Also, the thought of dying in a freak accident which would mangle my body (ala Final Destination) scares me a lot, too! If anything I'd like to die in a hospital, or at home, after a short illness in my old age, with my family surrounding me. Without the need for an autopsy which, the thought of having one done on me, when I die, gives me the willies!

Rats - I can't even watch them on TV and I'm cautious about going into pet shops in case they have them in cages.

 

[D_Humper E Bogart]

The concept of death and dying doesn't work with me well.

 

[B_big dirigible]

My fears, no matter how irrational:
Road trips

?!?

 

[jakeatolla]

Absolutely nothing at all, as far as phobias go.

But the only thing I worry about is harm comming to my
wife and or children.

 

[Dave NoCal]

Something happening to my partner

Something happening to one of our dogs

Religious fanatics

Getting really sick and not being able to get any of those fucking doctors to pay attention or believe me. It's already happened. Twice. Both instances were potentially life threatening.

Dementia

A stoke that leaves me lucid but unable to communicate (check the movie "The sum of US")

Being paralyzed by anesthesia but still awake and feeling pain

 

[rubberwilli]

• Dying of an agonizing form of death at someone elses hands
• Having to watch a family member, friend or loved one die an agonizing death of any kind
• Being paralized
• Being buried alive, or burned alive
• Loosing my sense of sight, hearing or feeling
• Organized religion of any kind
• Those free-flight rides at amusement parks where you are pulled up and back in a little harness and then set-free in a swinging arch
• Parachuting (see above)
• Breaking a bone (never done it)

 

[Full_Phil]

Gorillas, being buried alive, stopping at the top of the ferris wheel, and losing my anger.

Space and time travel.

As a child, Back To The Future scared me SO BAD that I wouldn't watch it. Even at that age, I would begin thinking about time travel and it'd just SCARE me. Totally frightening. Twelve Monkeys scared the shit out of me.

Also, anything that takes place in space...I don't care for. It took me a long time to bring myself to watch Star Wars.


Space just goes on forever and ever. Can you imagine just drifting through freezing cold space for eons? Your body never so much as touching a molecule other than black nothingness.

Fuck that.

Really? I absolutely loved Twelve Monkeys, one of my fave films, I put Pitts performance up there with Fight Club. However, I just found Back to the Future crap, time travel or not :tongue:

I understand how you feel about space, but it's on a TV screen not real time, do you watch many horror movies? Can I ask, how you feel about the ocean? :smile:

I will NOT get in the deep ocean. There's no fucking telling what's down there! The very idea of being stranded in the middle of the Pacific just scares the living shit out of me. The only reason I swim in a lake is because I know there's a bottom to it. There's fucking monsters and creatures nobody's ever seen in the ocean........granted....the really scary huge ones are not used to the pressure we have up here, but...I derno...still....

*pees herself*

Hehe, I expected that reaction about the sea, I'm the same, although I wouldn't say scared - but very, very wary. :tongue:
Space isn't a bothering thing for me, as I know I'll never be up there, but I'll never go more than a few metres into the ocean, or lean on the railings of a boat, bah!
