11. Bugs, goddamn bugs.
I have a borderline crippling fear of them. Especially parasites. Knowing how many deaths are insect and arachnid related doesn't help.
Falling down,snakes,darkness,trashcan lids, crowds, strangers, mice,rats,and fear itself.

The deep ocean, especially what lives in it.

The ocean. I will
never
go swimming in the ocean! The idea that a shark could be swimming underneath me makes me want to pass out right now.

Sharks don't intentionally attack people.

Yeah, they were just yawning really wide and closed around your body on accident.

They learn with their mouths; they take bites out of things to figure out what they are heh, but except for four species, they don't go out of their way to attack humans.

Adamsm, that is like saying that planes don't intentionally crash...but people are still afraid to fly anyway. I am well aware that sharks don't intentionally attack people, but that is still my fear.
I see where this guy is coming from. Plenty of people are afraid of spiders for example, and what if they bite you? If it's a small one, it won't even hurt. But they can still be terrified. I know I'm not going to fall down when I'm in a high tower. But I still have the fear of going all the way down. It's just something you can't control.

Being alone, funny, though, as I often find myself the most at ease with the world when I am completely alone. I suppose what I'm afraid of is dying alone, then. Then again; who isn't afraid of that?
Ammusing how our fears dictate so much about us, isn't it?

I do not fear death. Do other people here fear it? I'm a firefighter and I responded to a call from an elderly woman, who had a rapid heartbeat. Here it is, 0030 in the morning, and she is sitting up watching TV. She lives alone. She hasn't slept since Friday and it is now Wednesday. She went to a funeral on Saturday. She is taking anti depressants. She talked about how her parents are dead. She said she would have gone into the hospital yesterday, but she didn't know anyone to give her a ride. She is obviously lonely, and is scared that she is going to die.
I know I am going to die. I look forward to it. I do not enjoy the majority of the people on this Earth, nor most of the things on it. It is callous, cold, and full of hate. I have a very loving family and a healthy and good life, but I want to go to heaven. I'm not suicidal, but I have no problem with the fact that someday, this body will stop working. If modern science were to cure death, and you could live forever by just taking a pill, I would refuse.
I saw fear on that woman's face. I felt sympathy for her. If only there were something I could do to comfort her.

I fear growing really old, becoming mentally incapacitated, unable to look after myself and forced into a retirement home. I'd rather die a few years earlier while still in my own home. I'm not really looking forward to the dying part, mainly because I'm scared I'll die in a horrific, painful way that'll go on too long and hurt like hell. I'd like it to be very quick and I don't want to see it coming.
I suppose also tied into that is a fear that this is all utterly pointless, that after death there is nothing, death is the absolute end of everything. It'd be nice if I could believe in sunshine, lollipops and rainbows in a field where everyone who ever loved me is waiting for me, but that just seems to be grasping at straws, and so does the fiery pit of hell. I can't tell myself fairy tales about an afterlife to make myself feel better, it just doesn't work for me.
I also have a fear of being physically out of control. I have a very poor sense of balance, and things like rollerblading or skiing are beyond my capabilities. I don't like having things on my feet that make me go too fast and unable to control myself.
Being pregnant. The thought of a skeleton growing inside me completely freaks me out and disgusts me.

1) Falling down stairs. Which is funny, because as kids we used to jump down stairs onto mattresses and it never phased me. Now, everytime I go down stairs I'm grasping at the railing or the wall, and my heart beats so quickly.
I broke down and started crying yesterday because my boyfriend was having me move boxes downstairs and I couldn't see where I was stepping. I haven't felt so scared in a long time. He didn't realize that my fear was
that
bad.
2) Getting shots. When I was about 5, I had to get a shot in my abdomen and the nurse didn't know what she was doing and stabbed me in 9 different spots. My stomach was bruised for two weeks because of it. I have to bit down on a magazine or something everytime I get one now, and I usually pass out afterwards.
3) Cancer. Because there's nothing you can do about it.

Although not exactly a fear of mine, I understand that 100%.
I have to say I have a few interesting fears, I am afraid of ladders, bridges and Peeps. I know a fear of Peeps is ridiculous, but ever since I was 15 and had a nightmare about a giant Peep eating me I've gotten the willies around them.
My greatest fear though is without a doubt that my beloved will push me away. That fear can be crippling at times when we have an argument. I can endure anything as long as I am loved by her, but the thought of not being able to be near her because she doesn't want me is soul crushing.
