Fears

[Melicious]

I realize that most of us aren't afraid of snakes, spiders, lizards, etc, but what ARE you afraid of? For people unafraid of the "great evil monsters," I was curious as to what actually hit that fear button.

I'm not really "afraid" of anything, but I do get creeped out by spiders and scorpions and such. And as I'm getting older, I'm starting to suffer vertigo from heights...not a fear at all...but a sort of dizziness that comes on. Some might call that a fear of heights, though.

EDIT: PS -- I moved this to the Off Topic forum.

Horribly afraid of heights (even bunkbeds make me nuts)! Spiders, scorpions, bugs...all make me shudder but with being a Mod here I do need to look at those threads so I'm actually getting less reactive to at least pictures of them. June bugs! Yes I said June bugs (beetles I guess actually)....gawd but my skin crawls even typing that! Ridiculous and silly for a grown woman to be dead scared of a big stupid flying beetle but there you go.

Other than that I hate driving in anything other than dry, clear roads in daylight hours. Too many years of northern driving in very poor conditions combined with a few years as an emergency services dispatcher seem to have left me with a pretty big fear of road accidents. Mike can't stand driving when I'm in the car on icy roads, he'd rather leave me home then deal with my hysteria.

- Customs (for no good reason)
- high energy strong barking dogs (just don't like to be around hyper dogs and big strong ones barking at me freak me out)
- mushy bananas (I *HATE* bananas)

Bad Eggs... I hate Slugs.

I hate slugs! Though I'm talking about those big gross slugs that slime down trees and want to hang out on my porch and make friends with me and should all go away to some slug hangout and attend to their little slug lives out of my view as I think they are gross slimey...SLUGS!

I can't say I am *afraid* of anything but being forgotten.
That said I hate ladders(not heights, just climbing ladders, esp getting off or on at the top) and I do not believe in umbrellas. I don't use them, and refuse to be covered by one if I have any say in the matter. Apparently it only applies to rain umbrellas, as the large sun umbrellas I do not react to in the least. Yeah, it is weird. I call it a religious aversion to using a rain umbrella.

I'm only afraid of two things, one is the big scary kraken or other random sea monster that we haven't discovered yet, and because of this I can only go so far into deep lakes or oceans, think about it, we don't know what kind of ghastly creatures could excists down there. And the second...China Dolls, the ones with the menacing stare, it's like they're little demons encased in porcelin (sp?), waiting for you to turn you back, so they can run up and slit your achillies(sp?) tendon!

[Melicious]

Clowns, china dolls, being alone. Yep. That about covers it. O_O Oh...and CENTIPEDES! -Shudder.- I like spiders, I even like scorpions, but gross!

Clowns? I LOVE Clowns! Oh wait, we're not talking about morphs, are we?

I'm not sure this is a true "fear", but I loathe ticks and poison oak.
