To EVERYONE on ATS; What are you affraid of?

You mean like that "I am your master" one?
Man...that was truly stupid.
And the worst part about that is, I actually replied on that one...
Twice!
My intent was for this to be a community thread, so I hope that all of you out there don't think that this is stupid.
And if you do...

spiders, snakes, bad food cost / bad labor at work, not making my bonus, oh yeah, mice / rodents, and very windy thunderstorms

I fear divulging my innermost fears over a public forum, in case they're catalogued in a database somewhere and later used against me, like that face-cage of rats in 1984.

OH CRAP

I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT!!!!!

Yeah, that's a good one.
It's okay though, we're all friends here (of course, with a few exceptions...)

I'm also really affraid (and this may sound really dumb) of the buzzing noise that bees and wasps make.
I'm not actually that affraid of the bees and wasps persay, but that sound....
Man, that gets me every time.
What's worse, is that it is the same buzz (at least to me) that large flies make.
So sometimes, I freeze up/freak out because a freakin' fly sneaks up on me
Boy, can that be embarrassing!

The sound of bees and wasps is nothing compared to the sound of a dentist's drill
and the smell of burning teeth. Arghhhhhhh!

The sound of burning teeth? Oh my! I never thought about it before, but that is really gross!

Oh yeah, and that horrible buzzing sound that bees make is bad too!

I guess a slow, painful death.

Burning or drowning especially come to mind

My worst fear is being alone when i'm old, i feel sorry when i see elderly people who don't have anyone to support them, grandkids to come around and pester them, partners to say 'i love you' every morning... that would make me sad

Other joys to consider.

For me, living long enough to need someone to change my diapers.
Being involved in a terrible accident, ending up as a paraplegic and not
being able to put myself out of misery.
The aftermath of a major attack on Washington D.C. and living
too close to Mt. Weather and the results of Marsall Law.
Dropping dead on the toilet.

well my fear is:

a mad person coming into my house while im relaxing and killing me with a rusty chain saw (quite irrational i no )

peace out

TheOne

Well I definitely detest clowns and I see a few of my fellow posters do too, they look absolutely evil.
Another fear of mine is what if I ever had to bury one of my children or my grandson....don't know if I could recover from that scenario.

I'm affraid of Spiders (or any other nasty looking insect in general) and of people who think the Moon landings were faked.

Fears? Oh thats easy.

Spiders and clowns. Both are products of the devil, both have far too sinister ways of moving, and equally both need to be slammed into the dirt real hard with the biggest fattist impliment you can get. For spiders it should be a good stout shoe, for clowns, well I have always considered a big stout JCB bucket attached to a great hulking JCB. Then, and only then would I be able to rest easy in my bed.

Irrational? maybe, but after seeing IT by Stephen King, that clown turning into that huge spider... well they both need to be exterminated with extreme predjudice.

Heights and gangs. Most of all, I fear that I am not in control of my life. Maybe its all planned out.

I have this great fear of being tortured someday, I just can't imagine myself recieving this kind of treatment.
The cause probably is my "ex-brain-trombosis", i had it when i was 7 years old. One of the first cases in the entire country, 1 and 1/2 months at the hospital, worst age of my life.

I'm terrified of tornadoes.

If I saw one headed in my direction, I'd probably drop dead of a heart attack.

I'm absolutely terrified of snakes, water and heights. I can handle being around them one at a time but I'm literaly shaking. It's horrible. Don't much like the dentist thing either.

I fear that girls will reject me. Because Volatile is of a shy nature...

Yeah, but think of how good it will feel once you actually get through it and die! Sweet!

Actually, drowning isn't so bad. I've come pretty close to it, and at a certain point you just kind of give up and relax. Kind of a nice, sinking feeling. Cool and quiet.

...and what is swimming underneath me that I can't see. Sharks scare the hell out of me, you have pretty much no chance against them. Jaws really messed me up as a kid.
