What do your fear? Be it cockroaches (mine), the dark, death, being embarrassed, swimming, etc.
Aside from the fear I labeled above, I also find its other creepy crawly friends to be equally frightening. The thought of their stubby little legs crawling all over my body… shudders
Yeah, not very keen on insects either. But I wouldn’t call it a phobia, as such- I just really don’t like them. In that way, I guess I don’t really have any true phobias.
Heh. When I started this thread, I was more intended on learning people’s common, everyday fears rather than their darkest phobias. I just put it as that title because I thought it sounded cool.
Anyway, hope the change of title is more fitting, as I’m sure all members of the board has at least some fear in their mind.
Oh, right, well in that case, insects count for me. I’m not particularly keen on heights, either, especially when there’s nothing physically stopping you from falling.
Yeah, I’m not so hot about heights, either. Staring down from a high storey of a building’s fine and dandy for me especially when I’m secured by a wall, but it’s still a horrifying sight with a possibility of falling down… and CRASH! Hah.
Definitely have an irrational phobia of spiders. I don’t particularly like bugs in general, but spiders make me want to throw up when I see them. Even pictures. Euww.
Hights…I don’t know. I once leaned over the railing of a 3000 ft cliff to get a better picture of a water fall. But then, I freaked out when I had to jump off of a 35 ft pier.
Other than that, the future terrifies me because of all of the unknowns. Not in a bad way, I just wish I had a crystal ball or something so that the rest of my life isn’t so intangible.
Trust me, you will be more terrified of the future when you learn about it than when you haven’t.
On a related yet random note, “Final Destination 4” coming soon! <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/grinandwink.gif” alt=“;-D” title="Grin and

And I’m kinda creep out by spiders, too, though I, fortunately, have never came across a large one before. It’s always the small creepy crawlies that are more terrifying as it’s very difficult to catch them and thus, they can crawl up your pants while you’re struggling to get them out.
-Bugs in general, though I don’t kill spiders when I see them because I know they will get rid of other bugs.
-Heights. As in high heights, not the Dumbo ride in Disneyland. Ironic how I wish to fly but have aerophobia. Sometimes I just can’t trust that some equiptment would support me.
-I have stage fright. Sometimes I want to get out there and perform, but what holds me back is my fear of messing up and everyone watching me. Sometimes, the “picture the audience in their underwear” solution doesn’t always work for me.
-Public speaking.
-When my family gets into an angry fight over nothing that important at all. Imagine how they’d act when it is important.
-Overload of homework. xD
-Bullies. I don’t mean the bully kid who hogs the playground, but real mean people who like to hurt others’ feelings and use personal attacks, and pick on others.
-I used to be afraid of monsters when I was little, but Monsters, Inc. took away that fear.
And, in a Black Widow’s case, get rid of humans, too. Defensively, of course.
It’s ironic that I always wanted to ride a rollercoaster in my youth… till I actually rode one. It barely had a loop-de-loop and it already cast a shadow of fear over rollercoaster for me.
I had to deal with that fear as well when I was in drama class back then. I was really shaky at first, of course, then I just pictured that the audience was not there at all, and that I was speaking to an empty flooring.
lol Yeah, I remember that method. Never used it. Ever.
My parents do that a lot at times, too. Not really a fear, but I’d really hate it when they do that, not because I cared, but because it is an imbalance in my night and that just won’t do.
Yeah, never really like my parents that much.
Try over-due homework.
It’s a choiceless situation. Bullies will do what they do best. That’s people for you, full of cynicism and crap. This is the only message board without ‘forum bullies.’
I’ll bet the Boogeyman has his lawsuits with the film. xD
Black Widows…we have some in the garage.
Scorpions…we have those in the field outside our house.
People who would take away my religion or freedom’s.
Having TS3 get trashed so close to release.
Making my dad’s job fail by my own power.
Screwing up…
Realizing that all my religion says is wrong (i believe it isn’t but i’m openminded)
Having my fanfics be rejected by everyone…because they’re not well thought through…
