What are your fears? Post them here.
I'll start. Keep in mind these are all really my fears and are not made up to be a joke. Heights looking straight up at the sky evil grins thunderstorms wind lightning thunder tornadoes the weather channel and any show pertaining to thunderstorms any movie where something happens to someones eyes centipedes spiders bees mice sharp objects these are all my fears |
-I myself,
nothing else that would come to my mind, except for unwanted thoughts... |
Your fury :unsure:
Other than that: Snakes - don't know what it is, I am just terrified of them. Fortunately I don't think about them unless someone is 'kind' enough to put up a sign that says 'Danger - Snakes'. Then I become a nervous wreck. Deep Water - Mostly this relates to the sea. I don't like swimming where I can't see the bottom so I can only swim in swimming pools and places with really really clear water. |

snakes do eat mice, now donīt they... |
At last I can confront my fear - and then run away very very fast!
|
Well, I like to try to confront my fears while running away as fast as possible. LOL
Can I tell you guys about a dream that I've had every day for the past 8 years that brought about my fear of the dark and evil smiles? :blink: |
Fear is a strong word...
There are many things that can scare me (a sudden really loud noise...), but fears... I have stagefright (but must fight it very often...), besides that I do fear a war coming up, but can't really change that. Ofcourse if you put me in a room with an animal like a snake, a scorpion, a grizzly, a wild mustang... I wouldn't be glad, I'd try to avoid the animal and would be afraid that it might harm me, but that just like saying your afraid of guns. I'm not afraid of guns (only sometimes of people who use them). I am also afraid of car accidents (been in two bad ones - but I was lucky - no-one was ever injured: once a car turned on the roof and caught fire - both people climbed out unharmed, another time I lost contorl of my car and stopped just two inches away from a truck comming toward me - both were certaind that a head on collision was enevadable). |
Those car collisions of yours were lucky and cool. :ok: You lead an interesting life, Seb. LOL Now can I tell you about that dream?
|
Sure thing - sorry if it seems I inturupted you - but you posted about your dreams while I was writing my post, so I didn't see it.

spiders, and when i was a lil kid being blown away whilst flying a ktie :S

Heights. When I was going through the pyrenees, at one point, on this snowy ridge, I blocked up and couldn't get myself to move anymore, so somebody had to come back over the ridge and take me over it by holding my hand :not_ok: I do like high places, but I guess it's more the fear of falling to my doom than being afraid of heights, as I don't have that problem away from a 100m edge or higher :whistle: Didn't keep me from doing that rappel from 70m down that waterfall though. I feel secure enough when I got the ropes in my hands.

That's okay. Now here goes. I'm gonna recite it like H.P. Lovecraft would in narrative form.
Why does fear nag at me so often you may wonder. Why am I nervous and constantly look over my shoulder in dark places? Fear is a powerful word. It can mean many things. And many things can describe it perfectly. Fear is something you are afraid of it is true. I have many fears, and some of them can be contributed to IT. The thing which haunted my dreams and which I cry with tears of joy that I no longer dream of it. IT was fear itself, the very essence of it. My dream started like this. A friend of mine, in the dream named James Torrence, decided to take a weekend hunting trip up to a lodge out by the Colorado River. There were many good game to be found and would prove a very bountiful place. We aquired possession of a cabin there that the owner said had been deserted for mysterious reasons. I inquired as to why, but he said it was of a supernatural nature and that he did not like to talk of it. I was not one to believe in such things and neither was James so we took no heed of it and went our way towards the cabin anyways. Our trip to the cabin took us through an old deserted cemetary, where haunts and spooks of the mind danced eeriely in all the shadows, making us hurry quickly through the moss covered gravestones. Upon reaching the cabin, we unlocked the door. A strong cold and putrid air swept out of the cabin, making us nauseous and startling us enough to jump back in horror. We quickly composed ourselves and went inside. After putting our things away, James said that he wished to go back to the woods and hunt for rabbit for our meal. That was the last time I see my friend in this dream. He said that he would keep me informed over telephone if he caught anything. So I went to the living room and started to read. About an hour after he left James called out over the speaker, " Hey, good buddy." "What is it", I said, " Did you catch something?" He said no, and related to me that he is trailing a wierd apparition going towards the cabin. He related how he saw it maul a rabbit violently that went in it's way, showing it not to be friendy. He asked me to lock all doors and windows unless I should see him at the door. I did so and waited. An hour later, I saw my friend through a window. Releaved that he made it back safely, I opened the door. He walked in and making no sound started towards me. Then he did something that made me realize this was not my friend, something which made my blood freeze in horror. He removed his hat and coat showing him to not be my friend, but a horrible apparition! Those hollow eyes and that horrible smile. That smile showing all the horror of the ages! That smile was the last thing I saw as he stretched his hand out and with one finger shiveled me to dust till I awoke. I awoke with joy that it was only a dream and never had that particular accursed dream again. |
You should begin to write short stories...
And about the dream... nothing... except for #highly eerie# |

As for fears... hmmm I've always feared failing to do something really important. I fear spiders. But a fear thats been haunting me for as long as I can remember (usually in the form of a dream) is the fear of being hunted down by something or someone. I remember dreaming dreams of me running from something in different locations. Once it was in a snowy forest, another time in an urban enviroment. The strangest one was a dream i had two years ago. I remember I was in some sort of fancy suit like that of a prince with full decorations and such. I was running through an urban enviroment that lay in ruins. The sky was brown and there was a lot of fog. The streets were deserted but I remember hearing dogs or something behind me and boots running. I ran into a ruined house of some sort and had the feeling that I once owned the place. I don't remember if i felt as if I owned everything or just that house. The dream ended when I reached this room with a brownish wallpaper and a double door. |
you would not have liked mine
you can't imagine what the thing is really like that horrible smile :blink: |
Heights is all I can remember now.
|
I have a fear from crazy people with knives...
|
like Jason Voorhees LOL
If you guys want, I can draw you a sketch of the thing from my dream, which I named Happy cause of it's hideous unearthly smile. |
I have fear of Heights and of about any insect in general.
I tamed both those fears myself. I can stand right now at any height as long as one of my hand is grabing something (i.e. climbing) and, in a daring (for myself) feat I can stand at the edge of something high if I feel in control of the situation. Would I let the fear overcome me when doing so my legs will begin to fail me and I'll eventually fall. This fear is really tame now tough. I can't stand insects, especially Bees. Spiders enter this big area but I can stand them as long as they are not touching me. I dispise touching spidersilk in any way, for a reason way beyond me. The only insect I can really stand is Ants, and that's probably because I played so much games featuring Ants when I was young. When there is a Bee flying around me, my first thoughs is always to become still like a statue. I always need to force myself to move, even tough it's easy not to fall to my first instinct now. I know that most Bees will not annoy you unless you annoy them, so I always try to stay away from them. That fear is pretty tame too. However, it's not like I can say they are not present, even if it doesn't show physically or mentally to others unless I tell it. |
Sure, let's see Happy.
BTW - it's not conected to fear directly - more to dreams. In my own personal experiance there are things thet can influence your dreams. Don't know how but I know it works for me... I know it sounds silly but everytime I think of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before I fall asleep I dream of this pal of mine from the school days. I wouldn't even remember it... I was about 11 when the Turtles were a realy big hit! I thought about them a lot bck in those days and dreamt of this pal... He was always a bit of a bully towards me so it wasn't pleasent, but the connection was there. I wouldn't realise it if I haven't quite recently been rearanging my VHS collection and was thinking of Turtle movies - and sure enough I had a dream of that guy being a bully again. I then realised that there might be more to it - remembering the dreams I had back then, so I deliberetly started thinking about Turtles and... So far it hasn't failed yet. |
I'll have him up tomorrow. I must say it seems unnerving to draw him though.
that horrible smile! :blink: |
I love those freaky dreams. Problem I have though is remembering my dreams. I can remember having dreams, but I can't remember what happened in them.
My biggest fear I can not explain. It is so strange. I can't even explain it to myself. But I will try. Sometimes when I'm really tired or sick, I get this strange feeling like my whole body goes numb, then everything around me grows to about 20 times its normal size and I shrink 20 times of my normal size. But I still see the objects as the size they should be and I see myself as the way I should be, but in my head they are 20 times bigger. It's a scary feeling and everytime it stops I shake pretty violently for a while afterwards, and I can't even force myself to do anything until the shaking stops. Luckily it doesn't happen very often last time i remember it happening was about 8 months ago. This must sound very strange. But that explenation comes no where near the real thing. |
I'm afraid of losing people. I'm constantly worried about people dying, going away or something. If somebody I care about gets ill, I am afraid of the person dying. And whenever I have a fight with a friend, I'm afraid that I'll lose him/her.
And I've had pretty bad experiences, losing people. And I'm always afraid of losing somebody I love. I used to be afraid of Artic Terns. http://www.hi.is/~yannk/myndir/myv/kria.jpg Untill I saw the animated movie "The King and I" http://www.miranda-richardson.com/gallery/mrvking.jpg There was this song... I don't remember it exactly, but it was about being brave when you're afraid and so on. So once, I was with my cousin walking in the countryside, when we had to walk through this group of hundreds of artic terns, and i started singing that song. And it made me feel better ^_^ Since then I haven't been afraid of them :max: |
cool
I've seen the king and I but I don't like it as much as other movies. My mom loves that movie. But I'm afraid of it. LOL |
Computer crash and spy- and adware
and that I will grow to fat to get my cola |
hmm...
I am afraid of: -Airplanes -Elevators (These are all contributers of the fear of hights.) Getting killed |
In couple off days it will be 2 years that I lost one of my closest friends.
He was not in war back in country, but the girl he loved has left him, and he started to drink too much. That much, that he start to loose his sense, and started to hear voices.... He told other friend that voice inside him is asking him to hurt him self... We have been told this after he already killed him self. :( |
I have a really bad/weird fear of dark places. It's different in different houses. Unfortunately, it's very bad in the house I live in, I can barely go to the bathroom during the night when I wake up, but at my fathers house, I can go into the basement in the middle of the night, and I'm not afraid at all... really weird.
And also, I can not possibly as much as look at a picture of living shrimps or pretty much all non whale/fish sea animals. It's the same with spiders. Everytime I see a picture of a spide in a book I'm reading, I immediately cover it with something (never my hand, I don't know why). The thing with sea animals began with a dream I had about 8-10 years ago, in which there were dozens of huge, living crabs crawling on the floor in the house I lived in then, and they were trying to cut my legs. I think the thing about the dark started when I was about 4 years old (1992) when my father drew a huge picture of his grandfather, and put it on the wall in our house. Then, for a few weeks, I had the same dream: I am playing outside of our house, in the sun, when some men with shovels come and start digging a hole in our front lawn. They dig very fast for a short amount of time, and suddenly they pull, out of the hole, a brown coffin, and then they raise the coffin so its not lying, like they regularly are, but it stands on one end, facing me. Then suddenly everything is dark, and the coffin opens, and in there is the body of my father's grandfather, and he takes a few steps towards me, enough so that he is standing just a few inches from me, and then I always woke up. I always went to my parents' bedroom after that dream and I went to sleep betweed them, but always before I fell asleep again, it looked as if my father's grandfather was standing in the window. (I later found out that the human figure I saw, was just the things that seperated the glass in the window). I'm so afraid of dark, that now, as I am writing this at 4:48am, I have turned on every light in the apartment (except for the ones in my brother's room, as he is sleeping there). |
How and when did your father's grandfather die?
|
He died as an old man in a hospital bed on the 16th of february in 1983, at the age of 86. In the dreams, he was looking the same as in the picture. (The picture was a drawing of a photograph taken when he was around 40-45, which would be around c.a. 1936-1941)
A weird thing is, that his body (that walked out of the coffin) was not decayed at all. Another weird thing is that I know for a fact that he was buried in a white coffin, yet the coffin in the dream was brown (not just from the dirt, it was, actually, very clean. |
There could be something serious behind you, this dream and your grand-grandfather... Though it's not up to me to tell you what it might be, I don't know anything about the story and you. If I were you, I would try to find out more about this all. ;)

The most frightened I've ever been was after reading The Exorcist. (a book about demonic possession) I've always believed in the supernatural and so I could really believe such a thing could happen. I researched the circumstances surrounding the book and discovered claims that the book was based on a true story, only it was a boy who had become afflicted. I even visited my parish priest and asked what he thought about such things. Unfortunately for me, at the time, he told me that it is not uncommon for these things to happen, and every parish priest knows how to get in contact with an exorcist if someone comes to them for help. I became rather terrified then, and found it difficult to sleep at night. After more research I read that this can only happen to those who give up their free will or allow an evil spirit to take over....as in seances and using ouji boards, and alcoholics and drug addicts could also be at risk. I read that people don't always have to exhibit amazing symptoms like in The Exorcist...even a gradual disintegration of the personality could be indicative of spiritual problems. (Btw, these are things that were written by various others, and I'm not saying that I agree or disagree.)
I met a really attractive lady a year ago who was a yoga teacher, and she described how she would allowed another entity to enter her while she was teaching the meditative part of her class. She said even her voice would change. Alarms bells began going off in my mind. Later, a mutual friend told me that even though this yoga teacher doesn't believe in God, she went to see a priest because of strange and horrible things that had begun happening to her. She told him (our mutual friend) that she had to undergo two exorcisms before these horrible experiences stopped. Hope I haven't creeped anyone out. :blink: There is something else I learned from all this. No matter what the situation, you can take control of it if you control the fear. This emotion not only drains energy but it inhibits clear thinking. I think anything can be overcome if fear is eliminated, because then you remain strong and clear-headed. I think even day-to-day worries and stress can be eliminated by refusing to dwell on the problem. I've discovered that, in pretty much every instance, whatever I worried about has come to nothing, anyway. Hey, I've topped Fawful's word count. :D |
Demonic spirits only come to those people who seek to become evil for themselves and allow this to happen to them. Usually those people don't have a real goal in their life or something happened to them that weakened their will to remain good.
Also they come to very divine or innocent people, like my mom is. In her childhood, as she told me, she often saw some demonic, ugly masks on the ceiling at nights. And she was awake. She usually went over to my grandma and slept on her bed, then the masks disappeared. And even now she has from time to time really terrible dreams where dark things try to scary her and even worse. Luckily such dreams are rare. But when they're there, they seem to be really bad ones... |
My only real fear is that something would happen with my Balls and Dig..
Just cant stand it when you see things on TV (like they cut with a knife in it) ...at moments like that i can feel it almost the same.. That's a real fear for me...hopefully it will never happen :angel: |
I wouldn't be surprised if Happy is real and a demon. Once after dreaming about him I still felt him touching me even though I was awake. :blink: And to top it he seems to be made of darkness or at least have some kinship to it. I am constantly looking over my shoulder in dark places. He also has this evil laugh like he thinks he always is gonna win. It's not loud by kinda like this: Heh heh heh in a high pitched voice
|
I don't think I have the nerve to draw it
It was like OMG OMG OMG :modpower: :eeeeeh: it was the nameless and the unnameable |
everyone has a private fear of death. A way they dont want to go out. Mine would be drowning,
|
I don't want to go by way of someone sticking sharp red hot pokers straight through my eyes into my brain. That's the way of dying I'm afraid of.
|
Quote:
Worst way to go for me would be by drowning or burning. Or just dying alone. |
Exactly
|
I'd have to say drowning or suffocating as the way of death I fear most, it's just the thought of being trapped underwater and not being able to do anything about it, and the more I kick and flail around the quicker death will come. I also fear getting old, not just middle aged, but really old when you can't remember where you live or control your bladder, it just makes me think that I can never see everything the world has to offer.

I fear -> Large Dutch Sluts.

Actually, drowning is said to be the "best" way of dying. Few seconds before you actually die, when the lungs are filled with water, you feel good. It's the same feeling as you feel when you're a foster, in the womb. That's why babies cry when they are born, they miss the water in the lungs. And that's why people who are drowning get "upset" when people rescue them. It can actually be dangerous saving a person from drowning, the person gets crazy.
|
The worst is to know that you are going to die withing the next minute of your life and not being able to get out of it, such as falling off a cliff. That for me would be worse than any amount of pain.
|
Also a fear: Getting under the ground while still living...must be real panic
|
That would be another example of knowing you're going to die but can't do nothing about it. Freaks me out just thinking about being in a situation like that.

Can anyone tell me with a straight face that this is not scary? |
Hehe...
You know this, Thorsten.... I own a CD from Anouk, her voice is truly remarkable. :ok: She does not scare me. |
I'm quite worried at this point. My best friend just went off at me. Apparently I was talking behind his back, saying some muck about his arse. I'm quite positive I never said anything about his arse behind his back. And now he just threatened to get all his asian friends and all his wog friends on to me. I seriously hope this was all just a big joke. But it seems he has lost his mind. :crazy: :crazy:
|
Well, if we don't hear from you again, Iron Scarecrow. . . :D Everyone seems to get a little irrational and crazy sometimes, especially when misunderstandings occur. It'll blow over. :ok: |
ANOUK isnt scary...
She got a nice body for a women with a child...and her CD`s are really great (at least the old ones...) Things that are really scary: http://home.wanadoo.nl/pjprodukties/...e%20Hooper.jpg |

At the moment I was not thinking about which way I will die, or how long it will take, as no matter how bad, it will be over, soon. :blink: |

But Anubis, you thought you were seriously going to die and you couldn't do anything about it. Didn't it just freak you out that there was absolutly nothing you could do to prevent it at all. If I were in a situation like that I would probably go insane. |
And lose your mind? When it's about to happen, and not possible to be prevented, you should accept it and die like a man. Whining just makes you look weak and ridiculously...

[/b][/quote] I was thinking the same before the fact (used to watch a lot of history documentary, in some they where doing execution), but when that happened, all I was thinking is just what all I have not done in my life, that I wished to do. Also, I know that there was nothing I can do (I was deep in their territory) and even if I survive that day, there are small chances that I will survive the war. Only thanks to Red Cross, we survived concentration camp, which not once made me wish to be dead the day they captured me. |
My fears are:
heights insects my sister (oh, wait, remove that one) maybe death... and pain... hate that... it hurts... |
Here goes...
spiders (#1) deep water heights sharks the day chocolate died out... noooooooooooo! sticky tape ^ no just kidding Quote Yoda: but we must learn to overcome our fears fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to destruction destruction leads to bedtime without dinner |
