[Soccerman]

I just took a look at my bank account, which leads me to speculate that I must have Plutophobia. I've done a spectacular job of wealth-avoidance!

Can you believe they don't have a "fear of Fear itself"? What kind of list is this?

[Soccerman]

Originally posted by Iben

It's not a well-known phobia, Iben, but more common than many people suppose. Some kind of intimidation thing, I think...;)

[Iben]

hmmm...yeah I guess us redheaded Danish girls can be kinda scary ;)

New thought just occurred to me-- for as tall as a person as I am now, I was scared to death of heights as a youngster. Wouldn't go past 3 rungs on a step ladder. :o

(Thanks for the inspiration, squishy)

[evilsquishy]

Glad I could be the bringer of nostalgia. :p

In any case, I have terrible Insectophobia.

[evilsquishy]

[LadyFireFly]

I am afraid of:

1) Never finding the guy I'm meant to spend my life with
2) Not being able to conceive
3) Never really living life to the fullest

Those are my biggest fears when it comes to myself. And of course I am terrified of my close loved ones dying, etc.

I can't help with these fears, but I can tell you that kids are a real pain sometimes, are you really sure you want some.

That's understandable you never know what is right behind you ready to jump out and get you.

I don't think you can be afraid of the same thing you like, unless maybe you schitzophrenic(sp?) or something like that. In your case you not really afraid of the dark, But afraid of being alone in the dark, not quite the same thing.

[Knerys]

Heh I have an over active imagination, so that could be it.

[PsychoMike]

Are you saying that your afraid of imagining things now?

[Knerys]

heh could be....I just know that sometimes i let my imagination get the best of me when I'm alone.....I don't scare easily, at least not by others heh....

[Rebecca]

I am afraid that i'm gonna die before i see both my kids graduate and go to college and have a family of there own...............

[ILOVEKATIE]

I'm afraid of snakes, sharks and not knowing what my future holds.
But most of all I'm afraid of death. Not knowing what really happens once you die is just.....scary.

[Rebecca]

Aww you poor thing.........
I'm afraid of marshmellows...............j/k

[dr_evil]

i am a little afraid of dogs becuase i have been attacked by a few first time when i was a baby and i was eating my moms dog's food (what all kids do it sometime)(and i have a scare right below my middle finger on my left hand) and the second time was when we had a flat tire and we had to pull over and we ended up pulling in at a vet so my mom was doing the tire and then the owner of the place came out with her big dog with a chain leash and the dog came after me broke the chain leash and bit me twice (i am not telling you were because its embarising)

[Rebecca]

look in the mirror............but i feel for ya tho...

[tedward]

I hate cockroaches.

[IdahoMR2man]

I fear being old and thinking life passed me by.

[Rebecca]

I fear that one day i'll be walking across the street and getting hit by a car

[IdahoMR2man]

I'm now afraid of all you!

[PsychoMike]

I'm afraid that one day I'll get everything I've ever wanted, and then I won't know what to do.

[LadyFireFly]

We're a morbid bunch :D

P.S. Yes Psychomike I definitely want kids. I always felt that my purpose in life was to be a great mother.

[evilsquishy]

That's awesome Firefly. I absolutely LOVE kids. They're so fun to be around and just act like them :D
These one kids I'm around all the time told me I was just like their older sister! :o

[ceci-chan]

hehe. That's scary. Maybe your some type of clone or the resurrection of a.....nevermind.

Personally, I'm afraid of the dark. Some freaky crap happened to me the night when I became afraid of the dark.

[PsychoMike]

Yeah, everybody loves kids until they have a few of them. :rolleyes: Then they realize how anoyning it is to have someone half your size always under your feet getting in your way. Not leaving you alone for a second, wanting you to do everything for them. You have to give-up having your own life for them. They need to be taken care of all the time, the need to be protected all the time. You don't get to go out ad party because there sick or the babysitter can't watch them, or you have no money to go out anyway because they need clothes, and food, and tons of other stuff that are so over priced but you get it because everyone esle has it. You also need a bigger place to live because they can't stay in your room forever. :rolleyes:Kids you really want one I got one you can have free of charge, I'll give you all her stuff to. :rolleyes::rolleyes:









No just kidding I love my daughter I think i'll keep her,for now anyway.

[ILOVEKATIE]

I use to be afraid of the dark back when I was 6 or 7, the good old days.

[PsychoMike]

what happend to make you afraid of the dark ceci-chan?

[ceci-chan]

It all started wth that damn rat at Chuck Cheese! No. It was his purple friend. I was afive or six years old. I was playing just like any nprmal hild when all of a suddenthe purple mascot on the stage started to scare me. I told my dad that i wanted to go home and eventually we did. I told my dad that the purple monster scared me and he told me that when you admit hat you are scared demons attempt to steal your soul. Fom there on I was on full guard until night time.......

With me tired and the bed to my advantage I fell asleep feeling secured and comfy in my own home. That night I woke up seveal times. The first time....I woke up to see pink bunnies playing Jeporady on my tv. The next as a giant stompng on little people on my tv and last and finally.....mom and I decided to put glow in the dark stars on the celling. Well one of the glow in the dark stars was twinkling like a real star. I mean blinking like the turn lights on your car. I stared at it for a very long time not believing what is saw.

Staring at the star put me to sleep slowly....


The next morning I found my hand out and a huge puddle of blood stained into the bottom sheet right next to me! Til this day I can not figure out what exactly happened that night. But since that day, I have gone in front of the mirror and said over and over again "My family was not afraid, my friends were not afraid, I WAS NOT AFRAID." But now I don't do that anymore, I stopped when I was 8, 9 or 10. Now I'm basicaly not afraid of anything anymore cause i know I will face them with an iron fist and a sword!

[ILOVEKATIE]

I'm afraid of flying in an airplane. I've never flew in one.

[ceci-chan]

Afraid it'll crash huh? I know what you mean! Don't you just hate the turbulence! It makes it seem like your going to crash then and there. :p :D

[JBond]

You have more chance of dying in a car accident then a plane ;)

Btw, I'm truly sorry if you're now afriad of driving.

[ILOVEKATIE]

lol

I heard about does turbulence..........not cool.

[Iben]

I'm afraid of being stuck and never getting over a broken heart for the rest of my life.

[PsychoMike]

ceci-chan, nice story but somehow I don't belive it; Although that could just be the cynic in me talking.

Iben, You'll get over it in time. All wounds heal eventually, some my leave a scar, but they still heal. You'll find that perfect someone when you least expect it. Btw I like you new avatar.

[Knerys]

It won't last forever.

[Iben]

not everything heals though..

[Knerys]

Yes it does. People say it won't but if you want it to it will happen.

[PsychoMike]

Yes it does. If you and your ex were ment to be together you'd be together, it's that simple. (this being said by a complete outsider who wants nothing but for everyone to be happy.)

I love kids too :) I worked in a day care center for a year, taking care of the toddler/preschool group, and I was happy going to work everyday. My friends would ask if I was crazy, how the tantrums and screaming didn't bother me, but I just adored that job. My favorite was sitting with the toddlers, some on my lap and some gathered around me, and reading stories to them. Awww, I miss those little cuties.

That's really sweet :)

I'm basically afraid of being alone in life and having to face life head-on. Yeah, I need to fix that.

[Laterose]

I'm petrified of snakes.

[Tardumb]

At times it may seem like you're always gonna feel that way Iben. Like it's never gonna get any better. But the truth is that eventually it will. Whether it's in a week, month, whatever it will get better with time. Time heals all things...You'll be alright. :)

[Iben]

Thank you. I hope you're right, because it sucks feeling this way heh

THATS the key right there. Well said , Knerys.

[tedward]

I used to be scared that someone would steal my hair clippings from the hairdresser and use them to create a clone of me.

Now I cut my own hair.

[LadyFireFly]

I'm scared of people as paranoid as tedward.

:D

[tedward]

Im not paraniod - just becuase there are people out to get me.

[LadyFireFly]

As Kurt Cobain brilliantly said:

"Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you"

And then he broke into some screaming afterwards.

I'm also afraid of anything that's small, crawls and lives outdoors... cockroaches, lizards, spiders, etc. Ugh.

[Sub_zero3]

Same here

I dont mind the ones that stay outside spiders etc and lizards are very cool - even the ones that crawl in your room and sit in the sun by the window.

Hate cockroaches though - they stay indoors, in the shadows and only come out at night - the thought of one crawling over my face whilst i sleep makes my skin crawl. I hate cockroaches with a pasion.
