View Full Version : What is your worst fear?

Comrades, I have a confession to make. Once upon a time, many ages ago, I was horrendously frightened of aliens. Yes, aliens; the ones that people with normal brains usually do not believe in. Yet, these aliens that I once feared are not the aliens you see in movies, you know, the ones that can actually kill you. No, the aliens I feared were these skiny, usually small creatures from a race of extraterrestrials called the Greys. These aliens did not have any fangs, or claws, or weapons. Yet, according to what I read at that time as a young child, they did come into your bedroom in the middle of the night and take you away to preform medical experiments on you without anesthesia. That information was what fueled my fear for the next three years. As if the fact that they come and take you away during the night to play psycho doctor with you is not scary enough, their eyes and the way they look was what really finalized the fear for me. Have you ever seen a picture of those things, they look so fucking scary! Anyone care to post pictures :scared:. Yet, even though I was scared shitless of those aliens, I always researched them and read stories of alien abductions. That scared me even more, but I guess I was just a fear-loving masochist back then.:) Well, that is what was once my worst fear, a fear that kept me awake until 3 in the morning on some nights.

Now, what is your worst fear?

Spiders and other insects. If I could, I would destroy every non-useful insect with a snap of the fingers. More preferably just kill every bug on earth at once and have some artificial means of replacing them. They're the ultimate enemies of Mammals

My worst fear is never belonging anywhere and just drifting around, unsatisfied my whole life.
It used to be crash test dummies, though, as well as purple bingo chips, or the number 38, or various other ridiculous things. I seem to have gotten over all of my weird fears now.

OP, I am terrified of the Greys. Seriously. It was much worse when I was younger, but still to this day they horrify me more than anything else. I hate them. I can't watch shows on UFOs anymore because they always cut in shots of those fucking monstrosities.

Banakon....King Cobra. apex predator here. A female guarding a nest will not back down. Forget everything you think you know about snakes. Only one encounter, was on my own wandering around Mango orchard. It moved swiftly over the leaf debris. It wanted a piece of me for sure, I was in his/her place uninvited. We keep plenty of small dogs, we give them as birthday presents to the labourers. They also act as warnings of snakes or are sacrificial, although dogs are quite canny never get too close. The workers fear and respect the snake, but also enjoy eating them or collecting bounty from the mayor. We have native fowl and chickens running free. we would soon notice something was not quite right.

Children as soon as the can take their first steps are 'taught' to fear snakes. A child will wander near to the boundary or gate. We call out "S N A K E", if the child carries on one of the women hides and screams like a banshee "whaaagh-whaaagh*, fiendish racket, the child returns in hysterics usually . Much to the amusement of siblings and adults. Poor kid, luckily there are no social services about. After a couple of episodes the child never wanders and knows what a snake sounds like, terrifying. Very little chance of reaching hospital in time for effective treatment. The Philippines Cobra is even more venomous than the King, though not so aggressive. Then of course there is a spitting Cobra. After eating snake and watched them capture or kill them I can't say I am scared, just very wary. Not until you face one does the knees want to buckle and a hasty retreat seems in order.........

"Waaagh-Waagh!!" "MUMMEEEEY!!"

When I was really young, my older sister used to squeeze Ken's head from Barbie and chase me around the house with it. But yeah, spiders and insects are nasty. Snakes, mice, et. al; almost like people. Insects - totally different world. They eat our rotten food, eat our houses, and eat us. Very earthy little fellows. I understand they are necessary for decomposition, pollination, etc. and without them we couldn't survive. But they are terrible little monsters and definitely an enemy. If they are outside I stay clear, if they are inside air-raid bells go off, blackout curtains go on and I spray poison all over them. And roaches, those guys are cunning, calculating bastards. They are tough to kill because they anticipate your movements and pre-empt you. And when you finally get them, they either make a big messy splatter or you have to despose of their giant bodies. I use disposable chopsticks so I don't have to touch them.

But there is one spider (or family tree of spiders) that builds a big web on the street light next to my balcony every summer. I like that dude and his successors because his web is filled with other insects he prevents from coming into my house. We have a united front. Very precarious though, I keep an eye on him.

Ever read the book Keep the Aspidistra Flying? Thats kinda my fear. Succumbing to the humdrum and zombie life of middleclass existance. Having children because "that's what you do", Minivans, Culdesac gossip, white pants and runners, the big fridaynight meal at TGI Fridays, Motivational seminars and wanting to die everytime some housewife says she needs to catch up on The Real Housewives!

That we slide into the abyss without the working class overthrowing capitalism and the state.

Alternatively, that we go through the trauma of the revolution and world civil war, then emerge from the horror and all that happens afterwards is 'the Party' introduces compulsory self-criticism sessions and the gulag for 'bourgois deviationists' while simultaneously calling for 'proletarian self-sacrifice for greater production norms'.

A variation on the them of Blake's Baby; that I live long enough to see either a libertarian,extreme neo-liberal regime or that another Socialist Revolution happens and it descends into a dictatorship of the party or Juche or some other horrible variant of "Marxism-Leninism". Since I am an American, I fear the former more than the latter, although the latter would be emotionally painful as it would be yet another betrayal of the working class by their so-called "vanguards".

I'm not scared of dogs, but nevertheless I can't stand them. They smell, they're loud, and very annoying. I prefer cats by a million to one.

In fact, here is a picture of my cat:

I used to have an extreme phobia of throwing up after an embarrassing incident in 4th grade. I haven't thrown up since though, so I got over it.

I dunno. I dislike bugs/spiders but I'm more okay with them than I used to be.
I think my biggest fear would have to be..... sex. Because I think that's the root of many of the other things I fear (Like the idea of being forced, or the idea that there are people out there who get off to dominant personalities/female anger....) yeah. I'm not making fucking sense. Ugh. It's just this thing that I've no interest in but society really seems to want me to have an interest in and is trying to shove down my throat at every turn. >.> .. and so I respond with fear.

It makes sense. Did you grow up going to warehouse stores like Costco where they have a ton of them? Because I did and my mom was always telling me to get out of their way and my dad sang a little song about people getting run over by forklifts to the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" ... I think I might've feared them as a kid too. :laugh:

We would go to Lowes or Home Depot like every four days and it was the sounds they'd make and the way they'd move that scared me so much, I thot I was gonna die, and I would get made fun of for it and it only made it worse. Its actually funny to me now.

As a child, I was terrified of needles, so much so that I had to go to this child psychiatrist person to help me get over the phobia. To be fair on younger me, I did have to have a lot of injections as a child, and even in the 90s needles seemed a lot bigger than they are now. It does say something about a phobia when you're more frightened of the needle that's going to anaesthetise you, then the heart operation that will last for five hours and require a further twenty four hours in intensive care as a precaution (the operation was in November 1996 when I was ten, and I was in hospital for five days. I have a check up every two years (now every three years as of last year's check up) and my heart is as strong and healthy as it was back in 1998). I don't know if this is used outside of the UK, but you know emla cream ("magic cream"), that stuff they put on kid's hands to numb the area? Whenever I needed that on, I would always hold my hands stiffly, because I hated touching the stuff or feeling the plastic over it move.

Even now I don't like things like pins or other sharp objects being left lying around.

I don't currently have any phobias, although at night I can sometimes develop a phobia of snakes and spiders, and often worry about one of them being in my bedroom (my overactive imagination loves the night). Back in my teens, there were many instances where I would get out of bed in the middle of the night and often stand or sit very still because I was scared that a spider would be around. It would take me ages to walk through a door because I would be worried about a huge spider leg appearing and grabbing me.

I fucking hate spiders. All of them.
Except daddy longlegs. So long as they don't touch me, we're okay.

I'm terrified of flying insects, especially bees and wasps. When I was about 4, I got stung by a wasp on my cheek, and it has scarred me for life. I run fastest when I think I'm being chased by a bee.

The sensation of falling fucks me up, though too. Last summer I went to King's Island in Ohio and got on the the 30-story drop tower, and almost shat my pants. Had bruises on my shoulders for the next 2 weeks.

I have a phobia of wasps. Last summer I was out with my son in his pushchair and a wasp started buzzing around him and I was too scared to go near him and just broke down crying and hyperventilating. There were a few people around so it was really embarrassing, but I was pleasantly surprised that a couple of strangers helped me to calm down. I try to avoid going out in summer if there are a lot of wasps around because just being outside is too stressful. I'm constantly looking around to make sure there aren't any wasps and the idea of having a panic attack scares me. It really sucks.

I'm also terrified of mould. I don't know why, but if some food goes mouldy in the fridge and I accidentally pick it up, I tend to drop it and run away from it. I can't go near it or even be in the same room as it. I have to get my boyfriend to throw things away if they go mouldy.

This here is me. I cannot stand them. There was a yellowjacket nest underground in this hill area next to the sidewalk and my friend here would always walk right past it and not even care but I'd literally walk to the other side of the street to avoid them. One reason I like cold rainy weather.

I'm kinda surprised heights hasn't come up yet, although I guess airplanes have.

I get vertigo, sort of the feeling that I may be out on a balcony on some high rise just sharing food and drink with people, reading, whatever, when all of a sudden I get an inexplicable feeling to want to be as far away from it as possible and have to go inside.

I also generally enjoy being in the woods, but when I have to climb creeky watchtowers or go up ladders I just freeze. And as a kid I hated, absolutely hated, roller coasters where you can see the next town over, even though every time we went to an amusement park those were the highlights for my siblings and friends.

My fear isn't quite on the same level, but I am quite scared of wasps. Bees not so much because they actually mind their own business, but wasps are fucking knobends.
