I decided to make it a poll.

 

And then you can explain what made you fear it, or some story about it.

 

 

My fear, is bugs. Or Spiders. Hard to choose. The things that aren't mammals or animals, but have more than 2 legs. My MAIN Fear is these things. Sometimes its the dark, or anything really. Depends on what I've seen recently, or my mood, but bugs always scare me.

 

 

I hate the idea of them crawling on me. I hate the idea of the latter while I sleep. I hate the idea of eating them. I hate the thought of eating something they've touched. I despise the idea of being bitten, or stung. It's all really scary for a male like me. I get scared pretty easily, because my friends had a rich imagination, and so do I still, so...they'd come up with creepy monsters that weren't from a Creepypasta or anything. 

 

 

 

Also I freak the firetruck out when a bug flies around me or lands on my computer monitor. I even refuse to attack it myself. I just can't bring myself to touch it to kill it. 

Well actually my dream is to be nude in public and go running down the road saying! I'M FREE! but I know that won't happen

 

otherwise I fear that I will be alone from friends/family since I care so much about them

Being alone. I hate that feeling.

I'm afraid of being unsuccessful in the future. More specifically I'm afraid of not having enough money, not being happy, getting trapped in a job I hate, etc. I have big goals for my life and if I ultimately fail to accomplish them I will feel awful

Mine is Mother Nature or the weather to be more specific. It's something no one can control nor stop it's change,and predictions are just that,predictions. It can change whenever it feels it's right and we are never truly prepared for it. It scares me.

Spiders, looking in the mirror at night, being alone, being trapped in a small space, being stranded in the ocean, sharks, and blades and other sharp objects.

 

Spiders are just super terrifying. I'm afraid to see something in the mirror behind me at night. I don't like the feeling of being alone, it makes me feel vulnerable. I hate being trapped in small places, it terrifies me. I don't want to be stranded in the ocean on boat and/or in the water, (also of the fear for being alone.) Sharks are really scaring to me, (one of the reasons why I'm afraid to be stranded in the ocean.) My fear of blades is high, because of the fear of getting hurt and/or killed by one.

 

Pretty sure this sums up all my fears.

Spiders...

I don't know why...

But, there was this one that was brown, it appeared on my plate, when I was eating my lunch years ago...   

i have claustrophobia im scared of santa claws...

 

really though im acrophobic 

I might sound like a little girl... but I have a big fear of the dark.  I'm just afraid of it. I fear I might get stabbed when it's dark. (it happened to my Grandpa) 

I'm also afraid of being alone...specially in the dark

Damn you almost stole the words from my mouth, in fact i suffer from Atychiphobia (being afraid of failures) D: I know that feeling.. I couldn't bear to fail to accomplish my goals..!

I'm afriad of being in uncomfortable situations, but mostly overthinking with my imagination. An example would be, I watch something with the horror genre and when it gets dark or when I sleep, my imagination runs, thinking of something horrible, even though it's fiction.

I'm afraid of being alone, not in the sense like alone in the house myself, if anything I prefer that than people being in the house with me because I can express myself. Alone in the sense that I don't have any friends, i'm not important to anyone, no one I can count on and trust to help cheer me up, etc. It's a pitiful thing to be afraid of, I have pity on myself just for being afraid of such an irrational fear.

Someone made a similar thread not that much ago, so I've searched for it and I copied my reply - Fear of somersaults (this one is so stupid that it doesn't even exist a term for it )- Decidophobia and fear to be undecided (the fear to make decisions and to be undecided)- Hamartophobia (the fear of making mistakes) and Atychiphobia (the fear of failure). Both connecting to the fear of decisions and to be undecided.- The fear to be unable to handle a situation (can't find a term for this ). Connecting to Hamartophobia and Atychiphobia.- Agoraphobia (is an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety in situations where one perceives certain environments as dangerous or uncomfortable)- Hypochondria (excessive preoccupancy or worry about having a serious illness)- The fear of getting crazy (this is a symptom that people who suffer from anxiety/panic attacks and depression have)- Many others

I'm afraid of being unsuccessful in the future. More specifically I'm afraid of not having enough money, not being happy, getting trapped in a job I hate, etc. I have big goals for my life and if I ultimately fail to accomplish them I will feel awful

Always be strong, you've got friends who will stand up for you. Like me, i'll be there for you if you're ever in such a problem

Thanatophobia.

 Death.......

This. To a tee...

The only thing that really frightens me is the thought that maybe I will suddenly, for whatever reason, be too afraid to act in a situation that requires immediate action.  So, I guess I'm afraid of being afraid?  

 

This is only a recent thing, too.  I only ever thought about it because in one of my classes we were required to draw our own blood, and I'm ok with doing other people and having other people do me, but when you do it to yourself, it's just really weird, especially the first time.  The brain is so hardwired against self harm that weird things start happening, and once that kicks in, it's hard to go against that instinct.  So that led me to wonder about life threatening situations and if I'd be able to act, or If that would kick in and I'd be too scared.

Having a family . God , lots of responsibilities .

Dying alone.

And bears. I really hate bears.

Probably bugs and getting chased by something. I don't have to fear going bald ever, for I have a hoard of wigs :>

Dogs

I'm terrified of drowning, although I can't really pinpoint why? I almost drowned once when I was little but all I remember is feeling kinda peaceful and not worrying or anything before my dad got me - like I didn't panic or get scared at all the entire time, so you'd think drowning wouldn't scare me. But now as an (almost) adult it's like wow that's absolutely terrifying? I mean idk I cannot think of anything more awful than being unable to breathe and blech I'd rather be shot than drown. 

I use to be afraid of speaking front of others, being alone and dying but I am not afraid of those anymore.  

 

I only have four major fears now

 

1. The fear of drowning or swimming

 

2.Being unable to become successful in life and relaying on other people to support me financially for the rest of my life.

 

3.Being unable to protect my friends, family, and/or future girlfriend or wife from physical harm

 

4. dying before without having started a family with someone . I just want to leave a part of me in this world before I met my end one day.
