What is your biggest fear?

[Raev]

Personally, flying is mine. Seriously, I have panic attacks driving past the airport along 94. I'm trying to rationalize myself out of the fear since I'm flying to Florida in 3 weeks. :eep

Dwelling and obsessing on my fear and sense of impending doom got me thinking though - what scares who? We all have a fear....

[phee]

I have a fear that I will be as meaningless as I feel.

[Confess]

I'm afraid of the day I can't actually manage to cover my bills. And....

I don't like bugs.

my suggestion to help clam yourself.. is to bring some good music and a good book. It will help at lil bit to put your mind at ease.. or at least distract you a little if you know what i mean.... and the flight to Florida is only 2 hours or so.. i mean im going to California and its a 5 hour flight or so,,

Tornadoes.

Zombers, the dark, marionettes/ventriloquist dummies, etc.

Not having enought money to pay the bills. I get panic attacks when I think about it. I'm also afraid of driving at night in the rain. That makes me panic too.

[phee]

I can say that bills are what I fear most often... but not with the most intensity

I used to be terrified of flying... aside from the irrational fear of whatever, I used to get the really horrible ear pain. Eventually learned the valsalva technique which took care of the pain... and it's much easier to calm your fears when you aren't half-crazed with pain. Still wasn't a good flyer, until I won the trip to South Africa on Jeopardy. I figured that 16 hours of in-air time was way too long to be freaking out the whole time. So I didn't.

My only irrational fear now is water. I can wade but getting water in my face totally freaks me out. Even being in a rowboat is frightening to me. A larger boat is OK, I guess it's the distance from the water. Taking the water workout class this winter was a big step for me, and even so I never got to the point where I could do the "both feet off the bottom" exercises.

Failure.

Other then that, I am pretty fucking fearless but abstractly faliure can be appllied to so many different things.

[the eternal]

I have a fear that I will be as meaningless as I feel.

Luckily, that'll never happen.

You mean way too much to so many of us.

As for me, it has been said in one form or another by Phee, Confess, bean water.

One day I'll wake up.

All our credit cards will finally be tapped.

We'll have no means to continue to pay the bills, including to "her", and then my ex will take me to court.

I'll be branded a loser by the STATE and sent to prison,

ripped away from the two people that mean the world to me.

I've done a lot of things in the past I shouldn't have done, but I'm closer to prison than I ever have been.

All it would take is losing my job. (It could happen even if I don't--it's just that job loss would guarantee it)

It happened to this guy,and he wasn't even supposed to pay his ex in the first place!

[Destroit]

Fear itself.

Pomba, you were on Jeopardy!? Kick ass woman!!

........................................

WTF!?! OMG! That's bloody insane!!! It's the always the good guys that pay hard for trying to do the right thing. I can't say anything more about this topic as I will surely be guilty of a threadjack. This kind of shite really P's me off, though! I hope that nothing within that realm EVER happens to you!

..................

My biggest fear is a mirror of itself......While I'm afraid of having children, I'm also afraid of not having them.

[jynxxxedangel]

Not having enough money to pay the bills. I get panic attacks when I think about it.

Here here. Does anyone have a few Xannie bars to spare?

I fear that I will never make it out of this country alive, and that I won't ever get to be with my husband in Wales.

I constantly fear that one of my cats will get loose out the door, from someone not closing it quickly enough.

I used to be absolutely petrified at the prospect of flying on a commercial airline, but now, I will go GLADLY. Just let me OUTTA HERE.

[dragonluv]

I fear the day my daddy dies. I am slowing come to terms that this will happen. I had this silly idea for years, that my daddy will live forever. Then my dad's health took a decline. Currently, my daddy has good and bad days. My daddy is one of my best friends. When he goes, my world will fall apart. A part of my heart will die.

I start school again next month. I also fear that when this two year program ends, my daddy might not see me graduate.

My daddy is the greatest! I love you daddy!

dolls & puppets. they creep me out like no other. however, i can withstand watching movies with said fear... kinda strange. but my mother has a cabinet full of porcelain dolls that i really can't stand, and have told her that when she passes, those things are getting thrown out, or shattered far, far away from my house. anything that resembles human features, and is not in fact human, creeps me the F out.

[Ryle Hira]

I'm affraid of being trapped, emotionally and physically.

[Rev.Reverence]

I fear that Humans will never get it...

...that LOVE, will not be enough...

...& that 'we' will burn ourselves out of existence...

[punk_princess]

Fear of rejection is the big one.

[ManicQueen]

Being alone

[Joey Deadcat]

Walking about and being stomped on by a giant bare foot when I least expect it.

[bean]

Overly crowded places.

[AmieLamie]

FUCKING ROACHES.

I hate them.

[gothkytten (2)]

my fear would be my son getting hurt or kidnapped
