What are you afraid of?

I was told by a psychologist that this is a fear, but I'm not really afraid. When I am on high things, bridges, tall buildings with balconies, mountain cliffs, I get this urge (not overwhelming, but very strong) to jump.

Wow! I am so flipping out right now! That happens to me too! It's not exactly an urge to jump, but the fear that I might GET the urge to jump. Or something like that. I have never been able to put it into words, but you're the only person that I've ever heard say something so close to what I feel. Thanks for making me feel more normal.

I am afraid of the basement. I know it is dumb, but I am. And DH always tries to scare me when I have to go down there!

Also afraid of snakes, like lots of other DISers!

I'm afraid of snakes too. They are supposed to move when they hear people coming right? The black snakes on my bike trail are slow and lazy. I even ran over ones tail once by accident. I imagined that it was going to curl around my bike tire, and I almost wrecked.

Maybe when the trail gets more crowded it will scare them off!

Spiders and Snakes!!!

I got bit by a spider on top of my foot a couple years ago. My foot swelled up twice it's size and my toes turned a reddish purple. I couldn't wear a shoe, couldn't walk without crutches. After shots and an antibiotic and about a weeks time, it got better but it was very painful! I was on vacation while it was swollen and didn't get to do very much.

Snakes are just creepy!

squirrels. i know this may sound funny but i had a dream where a squirrel jumped through the open window in one of my classes and attacked me. and the next day at school we got new seats and i had to sit right next to the window and a squirrel hopped up on the ledge outside right beside me. i totally freaked and i havent liked them since.

BIRDS!

I am terrified of birds. I think its from the Hitchcock movie The Birds but they freak me out. Just the idea of them flapping their wings in my face or pecking me.....it just makes me shiver!

I'm only afraid of poisonous snakes, the little garter snakes don't bother me.

Not that Jolie doesn't definetely qualify as a pretty girl, but one can't help but notice the big mister in her picture, who would probably make all my years of army training look pretty worthless pretty quick...lol ;-)

Oh yeah...old people scare me sometimes...like there was this scary movie where this old lady in the wheelchair waited until someone turned their back, then she scurried out and climbed up the side of the wall, and then she was on the cieling and stuck her tongue out, then she fell back in the wheelchair!

FREAKY!!!!

Nah, he's not the jealous type!

Roaches, crickets, grasshoppers, and.....frogs. I don't like little critters that can run fast or jump sporadically.

Birds & bugs...I hate birds. They are okay in the wild all by their little selfs but pet birds wig me out! I hate song birds outside my window in the spring when they wake me in the morning...they dump on my car...really hate starlings!.....I like birds of prey (probably b/c they eat little birds!) Bugs of course too...I hate roaches, flies ....but not spiders, ants or "cutesy" bugs like crickets, grass hoppers, ladybugs etc...I have a hierarchy of bugs and birds!

Snakes, I can't even look at them on TV. echhh!!!

Sharks, It took DH a while to talk me into the water when we went snorkling in St. John. The water was perfectly clear so I kept looking over my shoulder thinking if I saw one I could beat it back to the boat. Now I know I was in denial!

And last but not least flying. It scares the tar out of me! This wasn't real convienient when we lived in Germany and had to fly 14 hours everytime we wanted to visit home. I had to stay doped up on valium.

I am scared of fear!! I try to be brave!! But the thing I'm most afraid of is fear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[julie_yet]

I'm scared of roaches especially the flying kind. How I've managed in Florida all these years is beyond me.

Tornados scare me but I've never actually seen or experienced one. I always have nightmares about them though.

Pain. I'm not afraid of dying but the thought of being in pain really scares me. Ever since my brother broke his right leg last week my right leg has been hurting me. I always get sympathy pains even if it's just something I see on tv.

Drowning is my number one fear. I'm terrified at the thought of it which is sorta funny since I'm a very good, strong swimmer and I love the water.
