Are You Afraid of...

can you post a pic of it so we can see the evil look??

Unfortunately, I can’t for now. I think I still need a special program to post pictures. And also, my sister will know if I took a picture of it- and she wouldn’t like it, and also suspect me because I find its look disturbing. So, you’ll just have to picture it in your head. (Also, maybe it wouldnt’ look disturbing to you, either- it sure didn’t bother everyone else I know in person so far. I think I’m the only one its staring at shudders)
Sorry for the inconveinience (did I spell it right?)

Deep water…

like if I am in a pool at night and can not see the bottom or if I am swimming in the ocean and can not see the bottom, that bothers me.

I’m scared of the unknown. Stuff that I don’t understand that could know a lot about me.

Also, deep, clear water, because it makes you appear that your so high.

bugs, especially spiders
the hairy ones or the ones with long legs are … yucks

I have a couple friends who are terrified of bugs. They can’t ever touch one without freaking out. In face, they have a hard time trying to squish them.

The only things I’m really freaked out by are mirrors and elevators. Mirrors, because I’ve seen Poltergeist. Elevators, because I hate 'em. What if it shut down while you were in it, man?! shivers

On that same line, Mitch, I do have a bit of a thing about escalators. I always worry that I’ll badly time stepping onto the stupid thing and fall down it (if it’s a downwards escalator, which is by far the worst), so I try to avoid escalators as much as possible. The ones in the London Underground are horrible, jam-packed with people, and they’re so steep and fast.

lizardgirl - Ohhh, so you guys have those really steep escalators then, the ones with like a 75 degree incline or something? We have similar escalators at Universal Studios in California – lined with visitors and as sharp on the downhill as water slides.

Forget falling down the things, though. I’d be more worried about getting my clothes stuck in them. Did you ever watch this show called Rescue 911? (It was a show that chronicled real-life events of people who had endured dramatic experiences.) Well, there was one episode where this young boy got his sweater caught in an escalator on the way down, and he almost choked to death in the process. Ever since then I’ve been carefull to jump off of the escalator step that I’m on right before it reaches the top/bottom. (heh)

I recall the escalators in subway (or mono, I haven’t been there in years, I don’t know the train) stations in D.C. go on for minutes…even when you coming down to the station you can barely see the ground when you start.

Mitch- Okay, that hasn’t helped my thing with escalators. :laughing: Our ones are not always steep, but some of them are just stupid, like especially the older ones in certain places like shopping centres. The worst thing is if the handrail is moving at a different speed to the steps! Then your arm ends up being dragged away from you. :laughing:

lizardgirl - Yeah, perhaps I should have changed the subject… :laughing:

Ohhh, so they’re not all ridiculously steep then? That’s good.

Dude, I hate that! (snigger)

Escalators: It’s always annoying, but funny, when you go to step on a moving step but then you are afraid of overstepping and falling down so you stand there for a while waiting to find one to step on. Elevators are far worse, though. I’m always worried that the doors will close on me, like if it’s an old elevator and the sensor is broken.

And trains and train tracks have always scared me a bit, because you can fall down the gap between the platform and the train. And also because it’s hard for a train to slow down easily if it’s coming towards you.

Wow! That seems fun! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: (just kidding :frowning: )

That’s crazy!!! :open_mouth:

It happens at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport…we have the same problem. Your arm goes like three feet faster then your feet do at the end.

LOL! xD Now that is freaky. :laughing:

I’ve always been scared of elevators as a kid - now I’m just wary of them. Ya just never know what’s going to happen.

Once, in school, these kids were using the elevator (reserved for only handicapped people or people bringing up TVs, projectors, etc.) and the elevator got stuck on a floor and the doors wouldn’t open. My teacher was being an immature child by going up and peering through the bit that did open, laughing. They deserved it, of course, but still my teacher was always a child. :stuck_out_tongue:

Funny thing. I enjoy riding escalators and elevators- I dunno why. But if that happens to me, I’d have a different viewpoint.

afraid of being…wrong.

elevators that have NO windows like the ones malls or hotels sometimes do. so people at least know you are stuck.

because of this video on youtube of this guy being stuck in an elevator for 2 or 3 or 4 days i can’t remember how many exactly.

but my phobia is darkness so my mom always gets mad at me for racking up the electricity bill

Being Worthless…i have concluded that as a man (or teen) the worst feeling one can suffer is to feel worthless and unproductive…it burns the whole day through. :angry:

I suffer it almost every month and it really drives me nuts…i just don’t do anything and feel like i’m wasting away sssllllloooowwwwlllllyyyyy. :neutral_face:
