What do you have a fear of?

spiders

Centipedes, millipedes.

rejection

Dragon Flies.
People with hairy backs.

The U.S. Congress and of course the evil doers lurking in the shadows.

Something bad happening to my children.

Heights. Grasshoppers and cicadas (see a previous post from me).

I agree with @jonsblond though, something happening to those I love. That would be my worst fear.

Somehow fear of heights though I can deal with it pretty easy.

I agree with @Bellatrix and @jonsblond—something happening to my kids.

I also have a fear, since childhood, of uncovered windows at night. When the sun goes down, my curtains must cover every black part of the window. (shudder)

I’m making many changes in my life right now and along with that is a fear of the unknown, which I consider to be positive, actually!

I’m Fearless. Yaaaarrrrr!
In reality, I’m terrified of every ignoramus in this small small world.

The dentist.

Also, I hate the feeling of something scuttle across me when I’m asleep. I love bugs and spiders, but when some, unidentified creepy-crawly is in my bed at night, I flip out.
I’ve even had dreams where I thought something was on me, and I wake up in a panic, digging through my blankets to find it, even though nothing is there. So lame.
Once, when I was little, my room became infested with ants, so I think I’m still scarred from that. Nothing is worse than squishing an ant on your face in your sleep. They stink so bad!

@megzybrahh123 I think cockroaches are precious. I had a whole colony as pets for years. The big hissing kind. They were awesome.

Raising teenagers.

Tight spaces (elevator, aeroplane toilets).
Being mediocre.

Undemocratic governments.

Dentists and authoritarians.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard

“Dentists and authoritarians.”

My guess is that you’ve never seen Marathon Man. ;-)

thunder
clowns (watch Stephen kings ‘It’)
walking under big trees at midnight

Outliving my kids
Flying
Wasps
Having a morbidly obese lapdancer sit on my face
M&M’s

Running out of beer on the weekend. ;)
Also the dentist for me too…..and spiders.

Loss of loved ones. To be honest i don’t think i can’t take the fact of losing one of my parents..

I don’t want an old wrinkly body on top of me.

Dying alone; going deaf; experiencing this unbearable heat and drought forever changing my beautiful Texas Hill Country; never knowing that I’m seen as beautiful in someone else’s eyes. Probably in that order (most to least).

@ucme LOL can’t stop laughing at your lapdancer fear.

-Heights (highways, escalators in malls.)
-Natural disasters
-Internet disappearing
-Dictators and undemocratic ruling (like my country)
-Being falsely accused and put to jail

@Porifera Yeah go on, laugh it up. My nose would probably be ripped off in the cavernous pit of her buttcheeks & yet you choose to find that amusing. Cruel heartless beast that you are ;¬}

Losing the man I love and not having a roof over my head.

Barack Obama! ; )

Carnies. The county fair is in town.

@ucme Carry this JIC :))

@Porifera Ahh, the kit all muff divers should carry.

Spiders and clowns.

Being homeless or poor.

I think that is all.

Nancy Pelosi?

That my health will make it impossible for me to go to college or accomplish other things that are important to me.

sadly, living.

@Mariah Hang in there. We’re pulling for you.

I’m scared of gangsters to be pretty honest. And something bad happening to my siblings. Other than that, I can take anything.

I’m afraid of fear itself.
I’m afraid of the fear of fear itself.
I’m afraid of fearing the fear of fear itself.

The future scares me most of all and also those nice folks that the good captain mentioned above. Oh and also Ben Bernanke.

Robots.

Umpa Lumpa’s. I mean they have orange skin, come on whats not scary about them? Dx

Harry Reid??

pig and baths

Worms, especially things like maggots. I’m pretty sure it’s like a phobia or some shit.

I love worms. They’re so squishy and cute.

No way, they burrow into places and eat garbage, and also they have no recognizable ends, no matter how fast they move…well maggots do, but I still hate those muffugas.

That reminds me of the Special Forces guys using “maggot therepy” when out in the field, to keep someone from getting gangrene. Only thing is, you had to make very sure you counted how many maggots you dropped into the wound, so that you knew how many to take out later when they had eaten all the dead flesh.

@CaptainHarley As far as I know, maggots aren’t interested in live and healthy flesh. Once all the dead shit is gone, they stop eating and roll/fall out of the wound?

Maggots are nasty. I like worms though. I used to keep em as pets!

@KatetheGreat Well earthworms aren’t too bad, but I still don’t want one near me lol.

@Symbeline

That’s true, but would you want a medic to forget that he placed four maggots in your wound and not three? I don’t think I would! They need to be counted. Trust me on this.

You can usually tell when it’s time to take them out, because the wound looks healthy and usually bleeds a bit. And as far as I know, maggots will continue to dine on your flesh even if all of the dead flesh is gone. That’s why the red blood appears.

I trust you. You’ve seen and experienced a lot of things.

But to answer your question…I would never let anyone drop maggots on me. :/

LOL! Well, the idea is rather digusting, but if it meant the difference between gangrene or NO ganagrene, I think I would take the maggots.

From what I understand, most maggots can’t eat living flesh and will die after they consume the dead flesh. I know that one exception belongs to a specie of blowfly that’s larvae consumes living flesh as opposed to dead flesh.
