Fear

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Hey there! Lunar here with an important question(and no, this is not stalling from doing school work)!
Are there any fears you have? Not like a fear of death, but things that you're just scared of and you don't know why? Me.......I'm claustrophobic. I can't be in a small place for more than ten seconds without freaking out. I don't know why. Also, I'm afraid of drowning. I'm slowly getting over that fear, but I've had a few nightmares about being miles under the ocean and running out of air before I could swim out or having a wave knock me down.:animeswea I'm also afraid of my washing machine. Everytime it shakes the clothes really hard, it's so loud and it sounds as if it's a monster coming upstairs to get me.:animeblus
Hehehe.:animeswea So..............what about you guys?[/COLOR]

[size=1]I'll show you fear in a handful of dust.

No, I'm afraid of too many things to list. For various and not obvious reasons - normally they're all from the same reason. Off the top of my head we have:

- Deep water
- Lettuce
- Broken glass
- The smell of weed (that's more of an intense dislike which causes me to hide behind couches)
- Flowers
- The dark
- Dying
- Commitment!
- Spiders
- Being 'stuck'/trapped
- Loud noises
- High pitched noises
- Crowded places
- Strangers
- New people

Most of what I dislike will often turn into a fear; I'll avoid it, then feel the need to avoid it, then feel really weird when I don't avoid it which consequently turns into fear. It's like a big downfalling circle of fear and loathing.[/size]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Verdana"]I'm scared of heights.

I'm scared of cars while driving and as a pedestrian(still don't have my license).

I'm scared of socializing.

Most of all, I'm scared most about random sleep paralysis that seems to happen to me every once and a while. Trust me, this is true fear:animedepr.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I'm afraid of my friends getting hurt in any way (emotionally, mentally, physically). Especially rgiht in front of me.

I'm afraid of walking alone in dimly lit places...for fear of being mugged or something.

I'm afraid of people touching my back. I had a bad childhood experience in a hospital when I was five...lesson: Spinal taps hurt like heck.

I'm afraid of drowning.

I'm afraid of failing a belt test in Karate...

Ever since I saw that episode of Rugrats where Tommy and the gang go into "opposite land" via the mirror, I've had a serious dislike of mirrors. But I'm able to combat that quite easily. (Even that movie, "Mirrors" barely phased me. It was lame, to be honest.)

The only time that it turns into a serious fear is when you get numerous mirrors and set them up facing each other. It's just not normal how the surfaces reflect into each other forever!!! It's really freaky. I get the feeling like I'm being watched and then I'm paranoid for the rest of the day. But this fear more spawned from the house of mirrors that you see at carnivals. My parents took me inside one when I was little (right after I had seen the aforementioned Rugrats episode) and I started crying because I couldn't find my way out, kept bumping into the walls, and everywhere I turned I was looking back at myself... Creepiest feeling ever.

[SIZE=1]I don't know if it's a fear as such, but I get kinda jumpy when birds (particularly bloody pigeons) fly anywhere near me. I'm always paranoid that they're gonna fly right into my face, and that's a little something I'm not keen on it happening.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I don't think I have many fears - I guess I'm afraid of big spiders, but not in any kind of major way. I'm not afraid of the dark, or heights. It sounds weird, but I guess my biggest fear is being alone - I don't think I could handle it if I lost all my friends and stuff, but I suppose that's the same with most people.

My friend Dan has a phobia of tomatoes, though. He can't stand being near the things, and God forbid he gets one on his plate in a restaurant...

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=1]I've only got two real fears. The biggest one is that I'm afraid of being unable to move (which includes restraints and small spaces, thereby leading most people to believe I'm only claustrophobic). That one comes from a car accident and the subsequent ambulance ride strapped to a back board with a neck brace and fully strapped down when I was about 7. Scary as hell.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=1]I'm also afraid of ladders. Seen them fall out from under way too many people (my father included). I can deal with that fear, but I'm never comfortable.[/SIZE][/FONT]

I've never had any big fears, just things that I find mildly frightening, like spiders, heights, etc. But those aren't enough to really bother me. About the only exception is from back when I was in a car accident about three years ago. I came really close to having something happen to my hands.

Now, I'm kind of leery of that since the very idea of having something happen to my hands just creeps me out.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]I like reptiles, snakes, uromastyx, lizards, and the like. I even like tarantulas, most spiders, and some beetles. This bravery however abandons when I am confronted with any cockroach larger than my thumb. If I am not wearing appropriate footwear for smashing said insect, I will not exactly...scream...so much as I'll walk away very quickly. If I am wearing my boots or other large footwear, I will make it flatter than a piece of paper and howl in rage while I do it.

There. I said it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[SIZE="1"]I have an orange uromastyx.

His name is Nicodemis.

I used to own an alligator (Jeremiah) but he grew up.

All growns up... so sad.

I've been attacked by two racoons so they freak me out a bit though.

Reptiles I have no problem with, furry woodland creatures on the other hand...[/SIZE]

I'd like to hear that story in detail, Mr. Blonde, I truly would. Now come, sit by the campfire and do tell!

Don't worry, Raiha, I do the exact same thing. :animedepr Nasty little creatures that shouldn't be allowed to roam this planet they are...:animeangr
