Greatest Fear
 

I just thought I'd make a random topic just for the heck of it :P And also, I'm interested in the responces...

What is your greatest fear? And if so, why? Mine is simple....

CANE TOADS! :dead:

I think another name for them is 'South American Bull Frogs', or maybe they ARE Bull Frogs. Either way, I can't stand the sight of them or anything, and it's not because of what they look like. I'm really afraid of them from a 'past trauma'. If anyone/thing picks them up, they ooze this poision from glands on their skin, and if you ingest it, you're poisioned. Somehow, when I was six, I listened to what my father said on the subject of Cane Toads. He told me what I just said, and then I came walking away thinking that they could shoot poision like cannon balls from afar, killing people with the slightest touch. Naturaly, I had nightmares of a giant Cane Toad gunning me down with super poision and then eating me :lol: Even now, I get shivers from looking at them. Even from this picture

So...what's your greatest fear?

Realistically, eternal loneliness and the death of everyone I know and love.

Less realistically, whales. Say what you will about how harmless they really are. Part of it has to do with just how HUGE they are and how easily they could beat me to a pulp. Another part undoubtedly has to do with the murky unknown that they call their home. Ugh, the other day I caught some commercial for Sea World or something like it that featured a couple of Orcas swimming through the air, looping and weaving through a cityscape. All I could think was "OH F*CK! THEY CAN FLY?!" That would be absolutely horrifying.

For some reason that reminds me of the time when my bookworm-elementary school self gave a lecture to my mom about whales being an endangered species and all she said was: "Whale... Yummy!" :cry:

Hmmm...well let's see:

-Waking up one day and finding out that I'm married with children, that I own a van and a dog.
-Being controlled like a puppet (I'll be damned if I ever let THAT happen)
-Seagulls (They just look creepy to me)

I'll think of more...

Veins, particulary in combination with needles. You do not want to see me take a blood test, it's not a pretty sight (This is not so much a fear as it is a phobia, but meh).

Losing a limb or appendage.

Living without my brother.

And yes, death.

Graveyards. I hated them even before I saw Night of the Living Dead. That just made it much worse.

I just can't face that that's where I'm gonna be when I kick the bucket. And Even though it won't really matter when I'm dead, thinking about just makes me shudder.

My fear decreased as I grew older, but I still twitch once or twice about it.

But my GREATEST fear?

The fact that I think I'm a good-hearted guy just to hide my evil side. I sometimes think thoughts that are just sick. Because of all this anger that swell within my very soul, I'm afraid that one day it will explode and I'll end up killing a human being, thus, destroying my bond with God and ruining my clean life. All the crap I go through in my life, I'm surprised that I made it through all of them with my sanity intact.

I'm a very patient guy. I just don't know how much longer I can wait before I snap.

And that scares me more than anything else in the world.

Frogs.

**** frogs.

I'm afraid of heights. I find this fear rather irrational and shameful in fact. But I feel giddy whenever I stand on a tall object and try to stare down. Which happens almost everyday for me.

Welcome to my world.

this is the most embarrasing thing but i'm going to admit it anyway.

I am terrified of cockroaches!

did you know they can live 30 DAYS without a head????? that is just unnatural! all skittering around after dark and running amok though our lives without us even knowing it *shudders* :dead:

Wow... just wow...

Certainly, cockroaches are going to substitute the human race as the future rulers of this planet.

Okay this may sound weird but I hate those disembodied eyeballs you see from time to time on horror shows. I shuddered whenever they play the "Twilight Zone" music. And yes part of me is afraid of the ocean. The murky unknown.

No kidding. I mean, those little bastards are immune to radioactivity, they'd even survive a nuclear war!

I just realized that everything I post is off topic... Wait, I'm extremely afraid of snakes. *mod honour saved*

Spiders.... I can't stand them. Seriously.

I know they're benefictial and all.. but I just find them repulsive and frightening.... I just keep thinking they're gonna sting and poison me.

If they're contained, then i can look at it, and handle it.. but if they're around... I can't handle it.. I just can't.

I don't particularly like heights either. I can climb and jump off high things with no problem.. but things like Rock Climbing or sky diving doesn't really appeal to me... I need to have something to assure me.. like a safety line.

living for ever, not sure why but I have a mental shut down when ever it pops into my head...

and as strange as it sounds...eye lashes...

dont ask why...

*Shakes head* and you call yourself a QLD'er, Ra :P I hope you don't barrack for the Cockroaches come Origin time...;)

Myself, I'm deadly afraid of needles, being alone, and losing my little brother. I know brothers are supposed to be mortal enemies, but my biggest fear is something happening to him. :cry:

My greatest fear is probably....Rats.

Actually any kind of furry rodent and I'm dropping out...Yeah i'm gangsta.

"Never has there been a frog hopping toward me, and I thought, "Man, I'd better play dead. Here comes that frog..." You never say, "Here comes that frog" in a nervous manner. It's always optimistic, like, "Hey, here comes that frog, all right. Maybe he will settle near me so I can pet him, and stick him in a mayonnaise jar, with a stick and a leaf, to recreate what he's used to. And I'd certainly have to punch some holes in the lid, because he's damn sure used to air. Then I can observe him, and he won't be doing much in his 16-ounce world."

I Have A Couple:

Trains: I Cant Tell You How Many Nightmares Ive Had, Where I Almost Get Hit Or Someone I Know Or Dont Know Gets Hit. Im Not Afraid To Ride Them, But More Afraid To See Others Getting Hit By Them Or Myself.

No After Life Or Reincarnation: I Love My Life So Much And Apreciate It And Enjoy It To The Fullest That I Cant Imagine What Will Happen After I Die (and For A Person Like Me Who Doesnt Believe In God Or His/her After Life, Thats Terrifying). I Mean To Think That I Await The Same Fate That A Bacteria Awaits Is Crazy.

Hmm.

Greatest fear would be to lose my family and friends and be alone in the world...

Though I also have a phobia/paranoia of cars. When I'm IN them, it's OK, but a running car, near me? Yeeeeeeeeeee. My brother was hit by a car when he was 2 (pulled through without major damage, luckily) and recently a guy I know just got slammed by a car going 60 mph. The miraculous thing was... he's alive. Even more miraculous is the fact that aside from a jaw fracture and a possible break in his hip.... no bones were broken.
And once I was like 2 inches from being hit while riding my bike.
So yeah. Cars = :dead:

Funny you say that :lol: I actually don't mind Cockroaches, yet I root for the Cane Toads, yet I have a phobia of them :o

You try saying that after you have a dream of "Planet of the Apes" with Cane Toads :dead:

And after all of that Cane Toad rambling, I forgot to mention that I'm afriad of falling. Heights I can handle, but not falling. I mean, you could become a pancake in a matter of seconds *shakes head* And also death. I think everyone is afraid of death at one point or another

god. this is going to sound terrible. but really really overweight people. they freak me out. I have a neighbor who is insanley huge like 500 lbs or somthing, and i cant even say hello to her because she really does scare me, and its weird to. cause im attracted to chunky women.

Rash: 'And I thought WE were scary...!'

Failure is my greatest fear.

Aliens. For now and forever. Aliens.

Choking on my own vomit.

What happened to "being crushed to death"?

I still have the fear of heat, but it's gotten way better. I can now put in and take out things from a heated oven, but I feel pretty uncomfortable doing it.

Then there's the fear of getting corrupted by someone or something. But other than that, I'm pretty fearless... I think.

Me, my own fears are hypocritical... I LOVE scary movies to no end. I really do! But the aftermath is a whole different story. I often get the fear that some of those movies will come true. Especially the 'impossible' and paranormal ones like 28 days later, the Grudge, and zombie-ish movies. For a month or so after I would lie in bed just waiting for the girl from the grudge to form like a wraith in one of the ceiling corners of my room, (did you know that in the japanese version she turns out to be the death knell/warning rather than the culprit)?

Interestingly, though I may find movies like Saw thrilling, they do not leave me with nightmares in the middle of the night. Neither did any of the Texas masscre movies. :roll:

Im afraid of obvious bugs like cockroaches and grasshoppers, ......Im afraid of being lonely and...... sometimes death scares me...

Im scared of junebugs, wait im VERY scared of junebugs :lol:

If I may ask...what's a junebug?

Remember, ghosts aren't real and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Except Super Aids.

They're kind've like a huge ladybug without the spots, and they make a weird buzzing sound. They always fly by my ears and scare the hell out of me.

My greatest fear is probably medical needles. Not so much because they puncture me (although I don't like anyone other then myself puncturing or cutting me), it has alot to do with my blood being siphoned out of me. I do NOT like that. I'm fine with stuff being shot into me though... but I still don't like it much as well.
Everytime I get blood drawn out of me, I pretty much collaps. I'll actually rush to a washroom so I can lay on the cool tile floor.

Oh, and I have a small fear of being stung by bees and wasps. Not that I'm allergic. The thought of being stung just creeps me out.

making chuck norris angry........

no really losing every one and thing hold dear to myself i've lost alot of hour of sheep thinking about that one

Waking up one day and realising that Hippies have taken over the world! :o
Or Old People coming after me :o
Family Death & being eaten alive :o

Oh pish, hippies ruled. PUBLIC SEX AND LEGALIZED POT :lol:

Needles, spiders... losing shadow?

I have a huge fear of failure....
