You have all three? :P just kidding!

Needles, being stabbed...yeah, those are bad things.

Job loss, poverty, stuff like that is also scary. Not so much for me, personally, but because I have a wife and child and I don't want them to suffer that situation.

But, I would say that I mostly fear myself because I tend to be my biggest stumbling block whenever I try to accomplish stuff. If I could just get me outta the way 1/2 the time, I'd get a lot more done. I'm a scary guy! Well...to me I am anyway

I do not like heights, I have got half way up a ladder before and not been able to go any further. The only problem was that I was a window cleaner at the time. I did a bungee jump to try and cure that fear but I still get nervous if I am up high( don't mind flying though, or roller coasters).

My phobia is wasps, I cannot be in the same room as a wasp. When a wasp comes near me I do a mad form of arm flapping, which can be embarressing to anyone who is with me at the time. Especially if I accidentally hit someone whilst waving my arms about.

Been there - I'm not always afraid of heights, although they do make me uncomfortable. The only case I can remember my fear totally stopping me is when we visited Paris and went to the Eiffel Tower - I just couldn't get above the first platform on the stairs, and we weren't about to pay for the elevators . . .

. . . chance of a lifetime, but I just couldn't climb it . . .

I don't mind flying, either. Or for that matter elavators or closed stairways - it's only in wide open spaces that I'm really afraid of heights (fear of falling more than heights, I guess). I can even look down once I'm up there.

yeah, I'm sorta afraid of heights.. I am until I push myself... now a story!

It's a sunny day at Yosemite, and a great day to hike. A great day to hike up Lambert Dome. (okay, fine, it's not Half-dome, but it's high) The hike up the dome was hard enough, but, there is nothing to be afraid of, until you reach the dome... barren rock going upwards until the peak, where it shoots up. All around you is a valley full of trees and around that, a range of mountains. The mountains appear to be level with you. You can feel the wind blowwing hard. I stayed near the ground, fearing I'd slip and fall.. to my death. I did this while I watched a friend of mine scurry up to the top of the peak, and yell "Beautiful, Beautiful!" He was a crazy idiot, ya know. That's what the entire group agreed. He came back down, and I decided to go up the peak with him again, what the heck? GOSH! it was scary going up. and it was even scarier wondering how I'm gonna get down. But by the time I reached the top, all my fear passed, I stood at the edge yelling... I forget actually, just something. through my courage(haha) the entire group eventually climbed up. along with my friend's and my help. Yeah, I lost all fear.. scary. I was running up and down the slope.. jumping around... Dude.. I was crazy... Dude.. I am crazy... Dude.. I am crazy for writing this idiot story... Dude.. it's late here and it's causing me to lose my mind... Dude.. I need therepy.. Dude.. I better stop saying "dude"... Done

Ooo, ooo, my turn! I'm afraid of needles, bees, wasps, and mosquitoes... but not heights. I also think that the worst thing in the world would be for me to get Alzheimers and lose my mind. My brain is one of the things I value most in my life. It's almost like I wonder if God will just totally shoot my brain to peices someday so I won't be so prideful about it. Because I do struggle with pride about my great knowledge sometimes.

hey nice topic Mack!

I read all the posts and from them I am scared of

:Chippy's rollercoasters and Caleb's Alzheimers

these things scare me the most, I also read about a huge asteroid coming to earth in 2014 (yeah I know again) and just wondered what would happen if you were on the other side of the earth that got hit

because THEN you would not be killed outright, slow death would be scary I think

the biggest thing i am scared of - is my own capacity (negative potential) for evil. But by the grace of God, and salvation i do not live in fear of it. But still it is scary at the evil i could be capible of. (and the evil sin i have already committed against God)..

Other fears, losing my wife.. being seperated from her by jail or political/war scenario..

and my fear of God (a good fear) is growing.. (so also must my wisdom be growing? as the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom ya?)

coming from a snakefree place i used to be scared of snakes, but not anymore. i am not scared of insects, heights or those sort of common things.

ok one thing i am afraid of, that gets my heart beating, is dealing with customs/immigration officials - particulary american ones

Yeah Klumsy, I had not thought of that as a fear. When you see stories of fathers killing their own children or of mass murderers going into schools, you think "what provoked that". I do not want to be found in a car with my two children, pipe from exhaust connected into the car. When fathers take their own lives why do they take their childrens. What makes gunmen go into schools? I am all for the blaze of glory thing, but go up against a real enemy.

I would have to agree with my other brothers here and vote that my own capacity to do harm to myself or others frightens me. I've allowed myself to give into the pain or the rage before and the outcome is always anti-everything. Being seperated from my Fiance or unable to protect her when trouble comes. Very tall heights always make me take a deep breath and back away from that edge.

Just to emphasise, I only get scared of heights when I am in control. I can always overcome the fear of planes and rollercoasters by assessing the odds. (Out of all the rollercosters/planes that are travelling today, what is the chance that this one will crash)

yeah I go with that one too Karl

I sometimes think I take my wife so much for granted, I'm glad to know I have some great plans to keep her happy in the next few weeks (she loves to go out and I have fixed it great!) but thinking about it I do have a fear ... just as you defined

I now have a new fear: you guys!! If you guys are scared of yourselves, than I think i'd better fear you too Seriously though, I'm impressed with the depth of introspection that you guys have done, I was gonna single a few of you out, but there's too many ripper quotes to make.

My fears: spiders (I can't believe no-one has mentioned this already?) here in Australia, we have some absolutely deadly killers, in almost every home you'll find the infamous 'RedBack' spider which is only small (body size no bigger than those little polystyrene bean-bag balls which makes them good at hiding) but deadly, not to mention the whoppin big 'Funnel Web' spiders which are just plain evil looking. We also have a common large spider called the 'Huntsmen' which are also everywhere and due to their size are very scary, but thankfully pretty harmless. We even have a spider called 'Bird Eating Spider' and 'Mouse Spider', I'll leave it to your imagination to work those out.

I have horrible dreams about two other things, one is of stumbling on a robber in the middle of the night in our home. The second one is this horrible recurring nightmare I have where I realise that I forgot to hand in all my assignments in one particularly awful subject in my final year of University, so I'm not going to graduate. I hate that one...

PS. I finished University about 7 years ago, which makes it all the more poignant.

ahhh.. Spiders. My sister is sooooooo afraid of them. she'd freak out and everything. then I'd go and kill it with my thumb. yeah, I'd could tell her that her pillow is a sac of spider eggs, then she won't sleep with her pillow. I think she needs to confront her fear.
me personally, spiders only sorta bother me. sometimes they give you this feeling, and other, I could hold them in my hand. I used to do that alot too. now.. just squishing.

Oh dude! Have you seen a Bird Eating Spider? I want to see one of those so badly! They're like the size of a dinner plate, right? awwwweeeesssome!

Every room in my house has spiders in. I have made it a rule that no-one is to kill a spider or worse suck one up a hoover. However if I lived in Australia where those killer spiders come from I would stamp on anything that remotely looked like a spider.

Is no one out there afraid of snakes other than klumsy used to be? I can stomp or run fast enough to get away from spiders but snakes??? Snakes terrify me! I am semi afraid of heights but try to push it in those situations. My hands get all clammy and my heart races 90 to nothing but I still put myself in those situations to try and overcome it!

Hi Rainman,

I find that snakes are fine. You just have to know their capacity for hurting you and take relevant precautions.

Snakes, another thing we have in plentiful supply here downunder! Of the 10 most deadly snakes in the world, 5 of them are from Australia, and that includes the No.1 deadliest, a little snake called 'Fierce Snake' whose venom from one bite is enough to kill 100 people!! Curiously though, we don't see that many around so they don't really rate as scary.

Doode... a hoover! I feel like taking a sledge hammer.. the two handed kind! haha

hey...ever wonder about why we fear these things? like, I'm gonna get all psychological on you. Ever had any bad experiences with these stuff? like, I feel squeamish( I keep a composure tho) around bumble bees, cuz around 5, I was stung by one, and I took it tramatically. also, I have a fear of heights probably cuz multiple times I fell down the stairs. yeah, I fell alot when I was a kid. probably can connect my insanity to that too.
basically, this is called classical conditioning. your mind would connect a certain object with another object, or in this case, the fear. you get bit by a spider, you fear them. simple survival technique.
sorry for the lesson, I sorta enjoyed my psych class.

Yep, that looks like another one of our Aussie species, 'The Huntsmen'. My wife went to get a towel once (she was getting out of the shower), and a big huntsmen was on it, and it walked right across her hand!! Yikes! I'm glad it did though, better than starting to dry yourself with the towel and then realising...Double Yikes!!

Cool, I saw this topic and decided to jump in.....what scares me???
well here are some of the things I expect in scary games/movies that make me jump
1) Fear of the Unknown (like if the killer knows where you are)
2) Feeling powerless (like having to hide and praying to God that whatever you are running from does not find you--good example Clock Tower 3)
3) Panic----like the faster you run the quicker they catch up----yet at the same time your legs feel as weighted rubber and cannot keep up---and you have no room to hide

things that scare me in real life
1) any kind of stinging insect
--------you know those thingys will attack at any moment---why didn't noah just swat all of them on the ark dangit'

Yeh we have them here in the New Forest (just outside of Southampton). I've seen quite a few, if they bite you, as long as you sit still it won't cause to much harm, but they're still classed as a killer??

haha, everyonce in awhile I can control, but barely. I could also never do crazy things like fly and stuff, just choose some stuffs.. kinda like those "choose your own adventure" books.

about the fighting.. Yeah, I just got tired of running and switched my "dream" instinct to fighting. I find those dreams so much more enjoyable.

and... Matrix rocks! alot of good allegories, graphics and fight scenes!
Definitely my fav sci-fi.

YOU MEAN LIKE FLYING IN AN AIRPLANE? THAT IS NOT BAD AT ALL----ALTHOUGH YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE DURING TAKE OFF BECAUSE YOU ARE NEARLY LYING HORIZONTAL IN YOUR SEAT SOMETIMES:-) ALTHOUGH, I WENT TO JAPAN LAST YEAR FOR A 2 WEEK EXCHANGE PROGRAM, AND THAT FLIGHT OVER THE PACIFIC WAS KILLER----------MAN I COULD BARELY WALK OR SEE STRAIGHT AFTER THAT FLIGHT----SO BASICALLY, IF YOU ARE ON A FLIGHT MORE THAN THREE HOURS, EITHER SLEEP OR MAKE FREQUENT TRIPS TO THE BATHROOM JUST TO WORK OUT YOUR LEGS---DEFINATELY LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY I SLEPT ALL THE WAY BACK:-) YEAH MATRIX ROCKS---THE GAME WAS COOL CEPT IT HAD 1 (OR SHOULD I SAY 10?) TOO MANY GLITCHES ON THE PS2 VERSION---I MAY PICK UP THE XBOX VERSION SOMETIME:-) I GUESS THE COOLEST THING IS THIS--WITH OTHER TRILOGIES (LIKE STAR WARS--WHICH IS NOW A DOUBLE TRILOGY:-)) YOU KNOW THE GOOD PEOPLE WILL WIN. IN MATRIX RELOADED, THE WACHOWSKI BROS BROUGHT UP THE QUESTION OF 'WHAT IF NEO WINNING IS JUST PART OF A BIG PLAN BY THE MACHINES TO KEEP PEOPLE TRAPPED WITH THE HOPE OF BEING FREED FROM A DIFFERENT PRISON THAN THE REAL ONE THEY ARE TRAPPED IN?' WHAT IF THE REAL PRISON IS THE HOPE OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MATRIX AND THAT IS ALL THAT HOLDS THE FAKE PRISON (MATRIX) TOGETHER? THAT IS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT---I CAN'T HONESTLY SAY THAT I KNOW THE GOOD GUYS WILL WIN THIS NOVEMBER WHEN I CAMP OUT TO SEE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS---BECAUSE THE BROTHERS ARE THAT GOOD OF WRITERS THEY HAVE US ALL QUESTIONING WHETHER OR NOT THE GOOD GUYS ARE DESTINED TO WIN---AND THAT IS WHAT IS SO INTRIGUING:-) WITH THE DREAM THING THO.........YOU SAID YOU STARTED FIGHTING CAUSE YOU GOT TIRED OF RUNNING...WELL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET TIRED OF FIGHTING? HOLY COW I JUST TYPED A LOT I BETTER GO DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR RIGHT NOW LOL CATCH YOU GUYS LATER

Yeah, Anime(of which matrix copies) is pretty trippy, that's why I like it. also, I like the choregraphy of it all.

Well, getting tired of running is not exact term... I never liked it. haha

I seem to always have the same reoccuring dream. If God would have given me one wish - I would wish I could fly. Anyway, in this dream I am flying around and flying over this zoo or amusement park. I see that a child has fallen into a snake pit and is about to be devoured. I fly down 'like a speeding bullet' and rescue the child and give it to its parents. Afterwards, I look behind me and see the snakes coming after me so I use my flying ability to get out, only I can't get off the ground or take off and the snakes get me - well, I guess they get me, I woke up before I found out what happened. Strange, huh?! Any dream experts out there?

hmmm, well, with my pyschology knowledge (I took a class at a JC) it shows that you are willing to put your life down for another and strong to accompish it, but lack the strength to save yourself from the evil... actually, I dunno. dreams are usally a compilation of your memories. kinda like leftovers, except with thoughts....

Ahh not anime, im in Japan atm and it sucks. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel and putting together whatever idea they come up in 5 minutes or so. Out of the 1000s of shows there are only 2 of them are worth watching.

And there still making pokemon and gozilla movies arrrggg.

Yeah Wolfwood has the gun we all want:-) Trigun is awesome:-) I also like a lot of anime movies two..some I would suggest
Perfect Blue (has some adult scenes---not sexual exactly but violent----basic story is a female pop idol becomes an actress---does a scene in a show that ticks off a fan--and the fan kills her production team---very well done show but definately for mature people only)

Akira (80's classic---now being made into a live action movie by Warner Bros.)

Princess Mononoke (very good:-))

Spirited Away (from the dude who made Princess Mononoke)

Ghost in the Shell (a cult classic)

Metropolis (a dis-topian story about a society that claims to be higher than God pretty much)

Spriggan (the Indiana Jones of anime pretty much)

Maybe a long torturous death. Losing someone to Alzheimers. BTW, one of my Grandpa's died, and the next year the other one got Alzheimers. Not being accepted into heaven after a life's work of service. Holding explosives/fire in my hand. I don't mind throwing it, but holding? Its freaky.
