What are your fears?

I do not like to fly, I even took a fear of flying course but I do not like being thirty thousand feet above the ground with out a open window(lol) This fear has kept me from visiting so many countries I want to see. Like New Zealand, I would love to take a trip there, but just can't muster up the courage.

The Dentist. I get nervous just walking in the door.

Hmmm. Me I am terrified of spiders Just looking at a picture of one breaks me out in a sweat and I can't hardly move. I have gotten better over the years about them. When I was a child I jumped out the window of a moving car because of one.

The only other thing I can think of is going into dark water. I want to see where I put my feet.

Spiders. Although I'm learning to trap them and throw them out the door rather than kill them or sick the cats on them

The dentist's assistant - she's mean! ugh, I have an appointment for next week too!

work. Sometimes the politics make my heart beat a little faster.

Flying. Not knowing what's below me. Also, I get claustrophobic in large crowds.

Flying
Spiders (thank you Zoey for killing them for me )
Fires
Drowning

OK, I'm psycho. I don't have any irrational fears that I know of. Sometimes Earl's driving scares me, but that's because he flakes out sometimes, and he doesn't come to slow and easy stops. But that's not irrational, that's because he's an idiot!

Wow ... there's so many. I'm kind of neurotic that way.

My car veering off the road and into a body of water and not being able to escape.

Spiders, spiders, spiders.

Bees, bees, bees ... wasps, hornets ... any insect that buzzes, flys, and stings!

Going broke and loosing my house.

In two words - being alone.

Centipedes and other things with too many legs

I'm afraid that somehow the cats will get out, even though I know that is not at all likely. I have nightmares about it, though.

I worry a lot about something happening to my loved ones...

Paranoid about fire (walks around the house double-checking appliances before leaving or going to bed)

I'm also a little claustrophobic.

Spiders & snakes never bothered me but I can't stand roaches, especially those huge ones that FLY AT YOU when you try to swat them!

spiders
hornets/wasps (anything with icky long legs.. not bees tho)
water (higher than my chest)
being not in control (ie, roller coasters, free falling)
driving in the snow
the possibility of being broke (this is a learned fear, given to me from generations passed, where I can't sleep at night worrying about money and i HATE IT@@@!!!!)

Need to add:

Driving in the rain at night

I hate it!

After seeing the damage done around my home from a tornado, I am terrified of storms. I wasn't home when it came, but when we went home we had to get out and WALK 1/2 of a mile in the rain and dark to our home. It was basically undamaged, praise the Lord, but now I am scared of storms to the point of irrationality! My kitties were home that night, and now if it thunders twice, they are all basket cases too ! Like mother like kids............

Major phobia of large crowds, christmas shopping is hell for me . And being alone at night, I can't sleep at all unless my hubby is in the house.

Used to be afraid of spiders until I moved to Texas and realized that they eat cockroaches.

Have always been afraid of deep water and sharks.

After the tornado hit our house in early May, I'm terrified of storms of any type. We have no basement and we had to exit the house and run 40 feet to our storm cellar as the tornado debris was flying all around us. Hopefully I'll grow out of that one since I used to love watching lightning storms, particularly over the Arizona desert. No one in our neighborhood was seriously hurt and the house is almost back in order now.

I don't have too many fears:

1. My Dad dying. He's 84 years old and I cannot imagine life without him. He is the best Dad anyone could ever want. I guess a fear of loosing my family. I was so blessed with a wonderful family that loosing them would be my greatest fear.

My biggest fear would have to be something happening to Peter (hubby). He is the love of my life and my best friend for 27 yrs. and married for 25 yrs. If anything happened to him, I'd be all alone with no one to make me laugh anymore.

I'm a little afraid of meeting people from the internet as once I've met them they seem to be 2 faced and now I just refuse to, unless that person can prove to me that they are exactly who they say they are online as well as offline!

Well, I'm just one big walking phobia. You name it, I'm scared of it.

One of my biggest fears is: Elevators. I'm terrified of getting stuck inside one. I can't ride them alone.

I'm afraid of most insects: Especially bee's.

I'm afraid of germs: You know when people are sick - I stay away from them, and I alchohal and Lysol everything they touch.

I'm afraid of choking, and I'm afraid that my cats could choke as well. So, I'm really careful what foods I eat, and I make sure the cats food doesn't have any grissel in it.

I'm afraid of crowds, yet on the other hand, I get panicy when I'm all alone somewhere.

I could go on and on, but I'll stop here..........

Why??? what is it that gets you by driving at night in the rain? Do you feel any better when its light? Is it the spray off trucks that you are afraid of blinding you ? A bit of advice for you if you ever get that scared and have to over take a truck in rain, as the water starts hitting the car- the spray, you start to concentrate incredibly hard and that can in turn have an adverse effect. look for a split second in the rear view mirroe and then back in front - your attention moves beyond the truck and you pass clean by.
I adore driving and aim to teach my wife in due course - although,not in my car - its a bit too high powered for her with respect for a learner.

When I was a child I had a fear of spiders, but I gradually overcame that fear on my own.

I have a fear of germs, mainly because I see some people who carelessly spread their germs to others when they are sick.

I am afraid of certain rodents mainly rats, mice and bats. ICKY!!!!!
