What are you afraid of?

[Jolie C]

It doesn't have to be a full on phobia, but what gives you the willies? For me, it's spiders. I don't have a phobia, but I just don't like them near me!

 

[cheyita]

Fear of flying, although I make myself do it.
Fear of death - but who doesn't?

 

[shep]

heights!

Can handle roller coasters..except Top Thrill Dragster..
Cannot do outside elevators or Ferris Wheels, or Sky Lifts...

 

[Bob Slydell]

Fear of the woods (namely, getting lost in them).

 

[dizneenut]

Lightning!!

Also flying, even though I've never flown. The thought of being up above the clouds gives me the heebie jeebies.

Snakes!

 

[piglet too]

I am terrified of snakes and of falling. My fear of falling has been around for as long as I can remember, but has gotten worse since last year. The snake thing is kinda strange. I have never been a fan of them, but now I can't even look at pictures. It all started when I was changing a diaper on the floor right next to the tv. Some sort of "video" show was on and it showed a man fishing, catching a fish and as he pulled the fish out, a snake was on the other end fighting for the fish. I don't know why, maybe because I was so close to the tv, but I just freaked. I have heard the theory that whatever you are "deathly" afraid of has something to do with how you died in a previous life.

Heights! I'm also terrified of ferris wheels and skyrides. I thought it was just me.

 

[momof2inPA]

Bridges. Falling off of bridges, driving off of bridges. My blood pressure is going up just thinking about it.

 

[WeirdEyes]

SNAKES!!!!!!

 

[two4ruff]

Flying - actually, just the crashing part

And like most women my age, I have a fear of the little, tiny, cut off-short top style that all the shirts seem to be right now...help me!

 

[cheyita]

Y'know - I said flying, but really it is heights in general. It's just flying is the one that affects me the strongest.

 

[grinningghost]

Spiders! I am terrified of them. I just wish I could explain why. I think it's because they're so silent and they can sneak up on you.

I also won't do ferris wheels. And I am scared to drive over big bridges. I'm OK if I'm the passenger though.

 

[Pete's Mom]

I am ashamed to say crickets wig me out. I have gotten several injuries because of crickets in the past. Give me a snake or spider anyday.

 

[Robinrs]

Mice and deep water. Don't like either one of those but don't have to deal with either one of them since I moved from NY to Georgia!

Other than that I'm pretty fearless!

 

[pirateofthecarolinas]

SSSSSSSSSSSSnakes!!! Hate them, hate them, hate them.

I don't trust anything without shoulders!

[Jolie C]

I was never bothered by crickets until I found out they were related to roaches. Our friendship was all over at that point!

 

[piglet too]

Going along with my falling fear, bridges are not fun for me either. But usually only "grated" bridges like the one that "open" to allow boats to pass under. I have however driven on a few (they are all gone now I think) that were just "grated." One was the old bridge over the Mississippi at Burlington, Iowa. It was a very long bridge too! There was another one right around Keokuk (sp?) and then the old bridges going over the Mississippi at Quincy, Illinois. To top it off I had to drive over them all the time when I was away at college in Missouri.

 

[momof2inPA]

I am particularly afraid of the bridges that only have railings as tall a jersey barriers but drop off into oblivion beyond that. Couldn't the railings be at least half as tall as my mini-van?

 

[Maleficent13]

Mice. I hate mice. I'd rather have a snake in my kitchen than a mouse.

Having said that, Mickey is, of course, exempt from that fear!

 

[ShuisFan584]

Spiders and any other type of little crawly bugs! Also when I'm in the ocean I have to run out as soon as I see a jellyfish, those things creep me out!
