twice today I spoke to people about my fear of badgers. If you must know, they're scary ass things - even bears know their place with badgers. On the other hand, laugh if you must.
The other thing that scares me is having kids. I really don't want to start a family any time soon...
Plus, I can't imagine handling it.
What scares the poop out of you?
Butterflies, moths, and surprise take Top 3.
Yes, his childhood dealt with all of the above. In the same day. Negatively.
Heights. I don't like the feeling of falling or feeling like I'm about to fall.

The answer is not to fall.

That's why I don't leave the ground too far away unless I'm securely attached to something. Like sitting in an airplane. Rocking around on a massive ferris wheel freaks me out. ;-;

to be honest, I like being on terra firma myself. D:
Russian pre-emptive nuclear strikes on silo outposts (some near highly populated areas), the Iranian development and announcement of a functional nuke, and the diminishing oil supply and the world's failure to adjust to it scare me the most.

the oil one bothers me seeing as I'm in one of the richest areas in terms of oil. Its crash causes people to go nuts.
Anything outside my room scares me. ;-;
Except for demons. Those don't scare me.

How high do the prises go up there? I remember we capped at 4.50 USD.
Is that a gallon?
We do it per liter here. highest I have seen is $1.30 a liter. Which is...$5.20 or so a gallon?
How we have higher prices makes more sense. We pump the gosh darn oil out.

Yeah, we do it by gallon. So Canada isn't like Norway in terms of oil tax? They are basically sitting on year's worth of oil and they charge $10 a gallon.
People are scary.

I'm not sure how Norway does it.
I know we are taxed heavily enough.
I hate most insects, and purely insects. I'm fine with Spiders. The worst of them all is Moths. I don't know why I hate moths, they just creep the poop out of me.
Also, what comes after death.

Maybe it's because moths look like leaves when they're absolutely motionless.
...ugh.
The only thing I can say that really scares me are the shadows that form on the walls in my room at night. The light from my radio (It stays on when it's dark, and I listen to music when going to sleep anyways) lands on whatever object's in front of it, and casts some really intercourse ed up shadows. One time, it looked like someone behind me with a knife raised... fell asleep staring at it, and ended up dreaming that there really was some creeper there. That scared me to the point where I woke up yelling, grabbing my sword, and swinging at the dark. ._.' Then I ended up getting my mom to help me look for whatever was making the shadow, and arranged it so the shadow would go away. Now before I even lay down, I move stuff out the way of that darn light.
That and having kids. Five nieces and nephews (that's five total, not five nieces and five nephews) is enough!

Nah, that doesn't bother me :u
Other people scare me mostly.
For some reason, I fear of disappointing my family.
Along with other normal fears of like hights and such.
Not to mention talking to crushes
snakes, and whatever is running around on my roof
Spiders. I hate most bugs in general, but only spiders actually scare me. Just the thought they can be hiding anywhere, like in your sheets or something, creeps the ship out of me. I always fling the blankets up in the middle of the night if I think I feel something crawling... Ugh... Just disgusting, and my fear of them seems to get worse whenever I see them, my stomach feels sick whenever I see one moving D:
Also, a couple other minor ones are being alone in a big, empty space (I hate prolonged silence), and being in deep water, like on a surfboard, when you can't see the bottom, just freaks me out. I can handle being on a small boat, though.
Death, but more winding up in a state where I'm alive, but not able to control my thoughts or actions.
Going through life without ever being in a loving, stable relationship.
Getting my PhD and not being able to find a job, or not managing to reach that level of education at all.

That + Heights for me.
Heights, high ceilings, & having to reinstall Windows D:
Drowning.
Drowning is the worst death ever.
Burning, Combustion, Bullets, Chainsaws, Poison, Jet Turbines, Eaten by Robot Zombie Pirates. All preferable to drowning.

Tape some thick paper over the light at night to block the light. My phone charger has a bright little light on it that bugs the crap out of me when I sleep, so I covered it up and all is normal again. It's not aesthetically appealing, but it gets the job done. Plus it makes your room so much darker, and it's so much easier to sleep then.
Death
Arachnids. As if their name wasn't unpleasant enough, you have to add eight legs and eight eyes to a hairy middle. (ksdjfskldjf;a) I don't like thinking about it.
Also, if you go on a hiking trip and see a DL climbing up you, and in your fear you swipe it away too hard, and you end up denting it so that the body is FUCKING STUCK TO YOUR LEG. AND THEN YOU FUCKING WIPE IT OFF and then it's LEGS ARE STILL THERE and THEY'RE FUCKING MOVING ALL AROUND ON THEIR OWN. FUCK. It's not fun. At all.
...Not like that happened to me or anything. Oh, and if you are camping overnight, DON'T BE THE FIRST PERSON TO CHANGE. If you offer to go first, and you get inside and begin to strip, then when you are halfway naked you realize there's a DL above your head, another one crawling toward you, another one on the wall behind you and ahead of you AND FUCKING LIKE FIVE MORE ALL AROUND YOU and if you begin to howl like a scared-out-of-your-intercourse ing-mind wolf, and get evil eyes from the Backpacking Guide you are with for waking up the whole forest (and probably for running out of the tent with half of your clothes off) don't blame me, I warned you.

I was covered in baby spiders (I told my intercourse ing dumb ass dad to eat the stupid spider egg OUTSIDE of the house... Asshole.)

You told your dad to eat a spider egg? o.0
Quote from: mackormoses on January 31, 2010, 06:19:53 PM

It was in a dream. Basically the spider egg was like an egg with cobwebs around it, and it harvested these rare deadly spiders, and he said that it was supposedly a delicacy so he decided he'd eat it so that the spiders didn't infest our house. And I said not to eat it in the house, because some spiders were bound to ooze out when he was eating it. But he didn't listen and the spiders splattered all over me. IT WAS HIS IDEA. I was only half-against it.
Anything that has wings and a stinger. I got within 20 feet of a hornets nest and ran for my life. Since then, I have developed a fear of those flying and stinging insects.
Well, my fear is flying on an airplane. Yeah, it's a very common fear seen today.
Planes are the safest way to travel besides driving. There is a very low chance of something to go wrong. What if that low chance actually happens though. What are your chances of surviving in a plane that is going to crash hurtling towards the ground at almost the speed of sound. Very slim and close to zero percent. Mainly if the plane where going straight down to the ground. The people would pass out from immense G forces up to 9-12G's. People on the plane would black out from the forces. The plane would probably rip itself apart at that point too.
When it hits the ground going that fast though, everything is vaporized seconds after.
I travel a lot and I just get the thought what will happen to not just me, but the other people that are on this plane with me if it crashes.
Flying.
Partly due to LOST.....
Uh...
Snakes. Freaking snakes.
Bees, too.
Being put on the spot/Being the center of attention.

oh okay
I don't like heights too much.
And uh, this will sound silly, but I'm afraid of this place dying...but that makes sense since I'm head admin. :B
WOO YEAH NECROPOST
I'm also afraid of failing, believe it or not.
inb4failblog jokes
I have a fear of heights to an extent. I just don't like looking down when I'm high up if I'm not strapped in by something. As long as I'm strapped to one of those lines, so if I fall I'll just hang in place, then it's fine.
Spiders, for no apparent reason. I used to find them and catch them and put them in one of those bug jars. But one night I couldn't sleep, as usual, and so I decided to investigate the latest spider I caught. This was back in kindergarten. I looked at it through this magnifying glass that came with the bug jar. Oh man, I will never be able to get that picture out of my head. I needed it out of my room that very night. I was afraid that it would escape and crawl all over me during the night. Or even worse, I'd wake up and it'd be dead. Unfortunately I couldn't get it out of there until morning, so I had the worst night sleep ever.
Also, I'm afraid of killing bugs. The most I can do is spray those darn gnats with Windex whenever they get into the bathroom during the Summer and start flying around. I did that for the first time this past Summer. Ended up killing about four of them that way. And I didn't like it, so I didn't do it again.
Err, the biggest one of mine definitely has to be [strike]commitment[/strike] heights. I can't look down when I'm at a very high altitude, it just screams impending doom.
I still have a small fear of the dark. When I'm about to go to sleep and the only real light on in the house is my TV, I won't venture out of my room until morning D:
Nothing, really. I'm careful about some things, wary you might say, but not really scared. I don't have any of the spider/clowns/dark/flying sort of phobias. And I'm certainly involved in my future, but not afraid of failing my family, because I know that I'll always find a way to support them. Nor do I put myself in constant danger for no reason, but that doesn't make me fear death.

...What?
I'm scared of Long Legged Spiders!!! (or anything remotely similar...)
I don't like to sleep with my closet door open.
I'm afraid of And anything to do with Hell. (well, when I was younger I was scared, Now a days I just get angry, don't ask lol).
That's about it.
Quote from: Phaze on March 20, 2010, 10:01:38 AM
...What?
Maybe it wasn't Windex, but it was some sort of spray. They were fruit flies and they were all over our house during the Summer, and they were annoying the poop out of me, so I got some sort of cleaning spray from the kitchen and sprayed them with it. It killed them pretty effectively.
But I don't like killing bugs, so I just don't do it.
Darn, now im scared of old houses.
Reason being that my house is like 250 years old now and in the early 1900's a guy was gored by a bull in the barn outside. My bro's brother in law is very superstitious about it and whenever he goes near that building he just freezes up. That just scares me even more.
Plus, my neighbor has seen a ghost inside my house! I thought she was joking until one of her kids flipped out at our fourth of july party and saw it. When i was walking out to the gameroom last night, i swear i saw something starring out of the window to my left at me. It made me freeze up and i got the chills.

This sounds like the making of a good scary movie!
Too bad I don't see scary movies though.
LOL....
Well... I'm scared of a lot of things.
Spiders for one. But a hell of a lot of people are...
Open water; the ocean. Into the Blue made me terrified of the sea. Seeing the plane at the bottom of the ocean.
Gangsters. They always wanna kill or rob a nigga. =/
Paranormal. Nuff' said.
and monkeys. they're vicious.
