The "Untold Fears" Thread

[Atlas]

When I say "untold," I generally mean untold to us here at AllRPG. You don't necessarily have to spill your guts about stuff nobody in the entire world knows about. But, if you wanna do that, feel free!

I am afraid of car crashes. The thought of one really scares me at times, but I know as long as I drive carefully, and don't let anyone retarded or drunk or cracked out drive for me, I'll most likely be alright.

I'll post more as I think of them.

What are you afraid of?

[Matron]

I'm a parent, so it's pretty obvious I worry about my kids and such, so I won't go into that.

I have this huge fear of deep water. Anything over my head. Even in a pool, I won't go in the deep end, because I'm terrified of the deep water. And yes, I can swim. The only thing I can think of that might have cause this is when I was really little, my uncle used to take me to the lake, and do that throw me up in the air, and catch you just as you hit the water thing. Only one time he missed, and it felt like I sunk for hours, I couldn't breathe, felt totally out of control, like I was going to die. Of course, in reality, it only took a few seconds before he yanked me out of the water, coughing and spitting, but it terrified me.

It makes me a joy to take to the lake or the beach, lemme tell ya!

Said it before and I'll say it again: burglars.

Same here.

I like my stuff and I'd be pissed if it got stolen. However, if I'm home they're welcome to come right in. I just hope they don't plan to leave. I also fear losing loved ones. Other than that I can't think of anything else.

Best not to drive at all then, methinks.

I'm afraid that I'll spend the rest of my life in Alberta.

Drowning, and heights. Most people have difficulty seeing what I'm afraid of, because I seek out activities to test my fear. However...Not being able to see is my second worst fear, quickly followed by not being able to hear. murky water, and deep mud also scare me. (I'll never wade through a swamp)

Mirrors are my number one fear though...I can't really explain it, but while I dislike not being able to see, I fear seeing something I might not want to see...

[Matron]

I have two related fears, that really contradict each other. I have this fear of being alone, no family left, no friends, nothing, no one to talk to.

On the flip side, I grew up an only child in a small town, who spent a lot of time alone. Now I have a husband and three kids, and I have a fear of never being alone again. There's always someone there.

So there you go, fear of lonesomeness, and fear of not being left alone. Stupid, ain't it?

Spiders.

****ing creepers, hiding their creepy little selves in cracks and crevasses, creeping and crawling their creepy little selves all over the place, sneaking across the living room floor when you're not looking, slinking over your clothes in the closet, running across your face while you sleep. Gah!

[Hyde]

Rollercoasters.

You can put me on any ride in any theme park anywhere in the world.....except a roller coaster. I've been on several. I hate them. I can't deal with them and I have no rational explanation why.

[Cyrus the virus]

Hyde, you just need to scream. I only forced myself to get over my RC fear two years ago.

I'm sort of afraid of losing my mind and hurting someone. I feel like if someone pushed the right buttons, I could really flip out. Not a friend, mind you, but a stranger who somehow does something.

I'm also kind of afraid of getting older and forcing myself to find a career. I really don't have a passion to pursue.

OH **** OH **** OH ****. Exactly.

I was in the bathroom recently and a huge one literally landed right on top of my head. Not even just slowly lowering itself by a thread. I mean it just fell from the ceiling. Mad hysteria ensued.

The one time I went to Carowinds, my friends had to drag me kicking and screaming onto a roller coaster(not literally). I rode it, then immediately got off, got back in line, and rode it again, three more times.

I don't think I would do so now though, I don't like rides as much as I used to. Even some carnival rides bug me now that didn't used to. I guess because I'm older now, and can totally see the cart slinging me off into the middle of nowhere.

I also have quite the fear of large dogs, but it's not irrational when you've been jumped on by them as often as I was as a kid.

Sometimes I'm afraid of being like my dad. Not the drugs or the alcohol issues, by my age, I think I have the sense not to let it take over my life like it did his. No, he has quite the temper, and sometimes, I worry that I have too much of that side of him. It takes a lot to make me really mad, but it's not unheard of for me to throw or hit things when I'm really angry. Just a couple of months ago I threw my cell phone against a wall because my grandmother really pissed me off and hurt my feelings. It's not something that happens to me often, but it happens, and that scares me when it does.

[Atlas]

Yes, Evil, spiders are also up there on my list of fears. And, as far as critters go, cockroaches rank very high up there. Egh...

[Hyde]

I love spiders.

[Indigo]

People in general scare me :s

That's it. I have no other fears.

[Atlas]

I love spiders.

And I love rollercoasters.

Odd.

[Indigo]

Both spiders and rollercoasters are amazing.

[Atlas]

Spiders are definitely awesome. They just scare the shit outta me.

[Brokensouls91]

Spiders, roller coasters, and floating cow zombies are awesome...Or was it a floating cow ghost? It's your story Emanuel...

[Electric Banana]

I hate snakes and spiders. I think I'm just about as bad as Indiana Jones when it comes to snakes... I usually lock up and just stare at them. It's silly when I even do it for gopher snakes, which aren't poisonous. I found one in the house the other day...and I almost started crying. lol I'm a weird person though, because I'll walk up and pick up anything else...a lizard, mouse, or most bugs, with my fingers (I won't pick up "potato bugs" or "stink bugs" with my fingers though). I'm a country girl, but snakes and spiders creep me out.

Other than that, the only thing I've lived in fear of, is dying before knowing true love. It's sort of silly, but I think my problem with that, is I've never felt a deep rooted love toward anyone. I love my family and friends, but every boyfriend I've been with, I haven't "loved" like people would expect you to love your boyfriend... I'm still waiting for the single greatest love of my life...if that makes sense. And I fear that I'll never have it.
