what is your greatest fear

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i think mine is being paralysed from the neck down or my family being killed by terrorists :worry:

[Josy]

Losing any family members or friends, lost too many too soon tbh.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

OR one that bothers me daily is when i'm out with the dogs if a vicious dog attacks them they don't know how to fight so they would just like die or s/t :worry:

I've had this happen to me when I was out with my dog, obviously she never died but it's scary as **** and you can't get too close to the other dog to try stop it in case it turns on you :/

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i would hate it :bawling:

it sort of happened to me once in a minor way when i just had charlie this german shepherd snapped his lead and came bouncing over and like gripped charlie around his neck D: charlie just made this horrible wincing noise so i screamed lol and the dog let go, luckily he never broke the skin/drew blood or anything and maybe the other dog was just rough playing but i swear my heart stopped and i was shaking for like a half hour afterwards :skull:

[smudgie]

Being cremated when I am not quite dead.:bawling:

[Crimson Dynamo]

cucumber flavoured clown Spiders crawling on the top of a crane and i am inside a coffin up there and it has a small hole, all I can hear however is pearl jam on a loop

:worry:

It happened to my dog when the kids were walking her, 3 dogs went for her, one of them grabbed her by her back leg and started swinging her round like a rag doll. She's lucky she survived, her leg is still a not a hundred percent but the Vet did such a good job on her, he had to reattach tendons and stuff, if that dog had grabbed her just a few milimetres in, he would have caught an artery and she would have bleed to death right there

[Littlegreen]

Drowning
Public nudity

[Nicky91]

i am afraid of being hated, and being bullied


those are 2 of my fears

[armand.kay]

Going insane.

[thesheriff443]

Fear is natural and tells us we are in danger, we can over ride our bodies built in fear alert.

We also develop irrational fears, that lead to a life of worry and dread, that lead to depression anxiety panic attacks and mental illness.

And then there are fears based on an actual event that has happened to us or someone we know, and that thought pops into are heads causing fear

[RichardG]

getting some kind of horrible painful illness. it's kind of inevitable, everyone in my family has something bad except for my grandad. I'm just waiting for my turn. :skull:

[Amy Jade]

I don't really fear death myself but I am petrified of my mum or nan dying. My Nan has beat cancer twice now and the thought of her getting it again honestly makes me feel ill.

[Nicky91]

oh poor you :(


but this shows how much you love your family Amy

[Amy Jade]

I pick up a stick when I take my dog for a long walk, if another dog ever attacked her I would snap it over its back and honestly probably stab it.

I've seen a dog attacked when I was walking my dog and it's so scary, I think dog owners should have them muzzled if they have little experience around other dogs or know they can become aggressive. If Cherry was vicious towards other dogs I would muzzle her but she loves other dogs shes really friendly.

[Nicky91]

god bless your dog Amy :hee:

[Withano]

Probably loved ones dying at the hands of terrorism, which barely even seems like an irrational fear atm.

I once had the job to make people scared of the colour yellow, true story.

[Vicky.]

I have a ridiculously irrational fear at the moment, especially living in the UK. It came yesterday when I was sending the kids back to school...started panicking like **** thinking there would be a shooting at their school :umm2: Been a bag of nerves yesterday and today and I know its stupid and I have no idea where its came from either :S Very nearly brought them back out of school over it actually.

Big ships, ones with lots of metal especially (I'm not afraid to be on one, I just hate looking at them)

Being cremated when I am not quite dead.:bawling:

Better than being buried alive :worry:

[Denver]

Pulling someone ugly

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

ew yeah this too

[Wizard.]

I'm afraid that if I put my fears out there then the universe will give them to me :rolleyes:

[Niamh.]

The Universe doesn't do requests imo :laugh:

[Ashley.]

I'm afraid that if I put my fears out there then the universe will give them to me :rolleyes:

If that's the case, then my greatest fears are Ryan Gosling and four bottles of wine...

Living/being alone for the rest of my life is a scary thought. :worry:

[RileyH]

Spiders, losing family and small spaces :worry:

[RileyH]

Also having to talk to people :worry:

[smudgie]

Better than being buried alive :worry:

One of the reasons I want cremation..that and the thought of all those maggots eating my body.

[Gstar]

Falling into a narrow well head first which leads to drowning upside down

[Ant.]

I think being fully paralysed is a major fear of mine. I was luckily only paralysed from the chest down (so I could move my arms and head but for a week or 2 just doing that made me tired and dizzy) but a relapse is quite likely given my condition and it could very well happen. I've met people with my disease who need a trachea (they relapsed after making a good recovery too) and it scares me that one of these days I'll just stop breathing (possibly die, or be starved of oxygen for too long) and need to live with one for the rest of my life. Seeing their tracheas fall out and them instantly black out scarred me, which again goes back to my fear of being starved of oxygen.

Worse than not being able to breathe unaided is the idea of just being unable to move or communicate at all... it was humiliating enough to only having the independence to eat and surf the net on my phone, but the idea of being unable to speak and being in a vegetative state... I'd be lying if I said I didn't shake at the thought of it daily

[Ant.]

Living/being alone for the rest of my life is a scary thought. :worry:

no wait I change mine to this

[LaLaLand]

Probably suffering with a degenerative condition, where over time you lose function after function until you're just a shell. Just seems absolute hell :(.

Also, plane crash or drowning. Or falling from a great height.

[LaLaLand]

Living/being alone for the rest of my life is a scary thought. :worry:

This too actually. I hate when you see those elderly people who have never married, have no next of kin or any siblings left. Breaks my heart.

[Shaun]

probably being stranded in the middle of the ocean. Vast things in general terrify me... I don't have a fear of heights or anything but the idea of, say, a cruiseliner getting really close to me if that situation happened (whilst great for saving me :laugh:) would horrify me.

[Marsh.]

:joker::joker::joker:

Drowning, suffocating etc. :worry:

Wouldn't your head smash open and you die before drowning?

This is pretty much what I was trying to explain. Looking up at tall buildings makes me feel a little queasy but I have no issues being at the top of one.

[Ashley.]

Oh confined spaces, I used to have dreams when I was younger that I was crawling through a tunnel gradually getting narrower. Wouldn't describe myself as claustrophobic, though.

[Shaun]

This is pretty much what I was trying to explain. Looking up at tall buildings makes me feel a little queasy but I have no issues being at the top of one.

Yeah definitely, I enjoy being at heights and taking in views, but being on ground level and being able to look up and see it - seemingly - going up forever, makes me the same.

[Ashley.]

I actually found the word for it, megalophobia - I searched it up on Google and could barely make it through two images. :laugh:

[Withano]

How ha nobody brought up trypophobia though. I have a theory that everybody in the world has trypophobia.

[Wizard.]

Being raped anally

[Shaun]

I know Ninastar has it but I don't understand it at all :suspect:

[Shaun]

Especially the ones connected with the sea in some way - oil rigs, freighters, aircraft carriers, whales, giant squid etc. I think it stems from a level of Super Mario 64 that I always hated where you're underwater and that giant ****ing eel keeps coming to get you :fist:

But also the idea of space terrifies me, that GIF that pops up from time to time illustrating the size - to scale - of our solar system compared to other stars and galaxies... *shudders*

[Gstar]

A shallow well. Smartass

[LaLaLand]

A shallow well. Smartass

I remember someone telling me years ago that someone they knew died when they fell off their quad bike and it rolled on top of them.

That didn't kill them, they died from drowning in a PUDDLE because the weight of the quad squashed them face first into it and they couldn't lift their head out of it to breathe.

Awful.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i just googled this and i think i have it too :worry: i'd never even noticed it before now

[Amy Jade]

Whats that thing called when theres loads of holes? They've used it in the recent AHS promo.

It freaks me out so much If I see it I get all tense and itchy

[Amy Jade]

Not googling it but I think Scott and I mean the same thing

[LaLaLand]

IF anyone has a fear of holes, don't watch the new AHS...

This! I'm was certain everybody had it, but then Shaun claimed he didn't :think:

[Marsh.]

Ugh that skin care advert triggered my trypophobia years ago.

Where there's loads of people and it zooms out to look like pores. :worry:

[Withano]

Thats vile. So is this speaker. I dont know why holes upset me so much
https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6551b8b2525135c3277cfb2b1709fd39

[Marsh.]

That doesn't bother me.

I think with me it's just tiny holes close together or like skin-related. :worry:

[Shaun]

Like when you google the word and it's got loads of weird photoshopped skin things, sure, it looks horrible, but all of the natural examples of it (like shed skin, those lotus seeds, pomegranates, etc) do nothing for me :shrug:

[LemonJam]

Madonna's next album.

Yeah I agree with this, I've never really gotten it either tbhh

[Jamie89]

Alzheimer's, not recognising or remembering the people I love, I can't think of anything worse

[Vicky.]

Holes don't bother me. My most ridiculous phobia is probably vomit. I mean, I doubt anyone likes it but I am terrified, both of other people doing it near me and myself doing it. To the point where I will fight it for days and says and feel rotton when I know if I just puked I would feel instantly better :S

[Marsh.]

Pictures like this freak me out...

[Ramsay]

Big fear of commitment/relationships, but also most scared of ending up alone. As you can see i'm kind of at a cross roads.
And trypophobia. **** that!

[thesheriff443]

Would say chocking on a dick, but in present company its not a fear at all.

[Niamh.]

Yeah same, Oil Rigs as well like Shaun mentioned really freak me out, again looking at them and thinking of being in the water near them rather than being actually on one
