What are you afraid of?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Spiders and Centipedes and all things that creep upon the earth
Bats and creepy birds and anything that flys
Being up in high places without a harness (for example, roller coasters are fine, but ferris wheels are not)

The Wrath of God :x

Heights (without being enclosed in something. Though I don't like driving on overpasses or bridges over water.)
My computers crashing
Having to talk to girls. :anxious: I'm such a nerd.

Lol, thought you might be...but at the same time, you could have had a really bad experience with it as a young child and be scarred from memories of it...but glad you're not afraid of it...I don't care for it either!

It was good knowing you StrongNChrist; you taught me a lot. I'll meet you someday for real in God's presence.

As for me, sea snakes (and eels and the like). Well, really any kind of snake but, especially ones in the water. Yuck! I also dread the dentist but, that's not really a fear; it's more of pattern recognition. Every time I go to the dentist, I feel fine. Every time I leave the dentist, my teeth ache of intense pain, I have a bunch of nasty stuff and a horrible taste in my mouth, I have a headache, am sweating, and have been treated like garbage by the staff. Thus, I've come to associate the dentist with... torture. ;)

Pain. Not death, but intense pain. (Wait--why am I getting Princess Bride flashbacks?)
Being trapped in an elevator
Being trapped in ANY tight space
Natural disastors
Something horrible happening to someone I love


And I used to be afraid of being left behind the Rapture. While I know that will NEVER happen because I am definitely a Christian, it used to terrify me. The thought of being sent to Hell also used to freak me out, but I'm positive that I'm not going there, so now I'm okay.

*goes over the list in his head while saying it out loud*
  • Wolves
    Spiders
    Heights
    Roller Coasters

Very scared of Roller Coasters and Wolves and Ferris Wheels.
^AIOluver^

Who am I? I'd rather not answer that question, the real question is, "Who are you?". Right now I am trying to think of something witty to put here.. I might not find anything, but that's fine. This block of text should be fine for a signature. Wait, are you still reading this? Why are you reading this? Stop. Seriously.
STOP.
This sentence is true.
The sentence above is false.

I dare you not to read this.
Hey! I said not to read this.
Maybe if I talk like this.
Wait, you still see me? *sighs* I give up.

Snakes and mice and such are fine... but I admit to fear of spiders or centipedes and such. >_> Generally the more legs, the worse they are. >_> Now... like ants or ladybugs or flies aren't frightening, just the more evil looking things. >_>

And heights. I love roller coasters but just standing on a chair I get weak kneed. :(

Now you all know how to defeat me. :(

Probably, being killed by large animals in the woods by my self. (Only large animals, I never have though: "I hope I don't see a mouse, because it might eat me.") I am not afraid of anthropoids. I don't live were there are any dangerous snakes, so I am not afraid of them. Also, I am afraid my computer losing all my data, and other people saying things that make awkward situations, even if they don't include me.

I am terrified of fish, I cannot swim in the same water with them and I can't get myself to touch them. (Even when my sister had her goldfish trained to let people pet them.)

Even though they're not technically fish I am deathly afraid of whales. They're big and scary.

I can tolerate a lot of bugs but huge creepy crawly ones aren't so great, mainly because when you squish them they're gross.

I've never understood why most people don't like bugs...hairy ones are gross, but bugs don't really scare me :-k Except for cockroaches. Major difference.
