What do you fear most?

TKDLady · 03-10-2008, 11:39 PM

Physically I fear drowning. I am scared to death to drive over bridges for fear my car will fall off the edge and plunge into the water below. I have always feared drowning but it was really brought home to me when a very close friend experienced this first hand after his son nearly drown. He is the reason I am here.

Mentally/Emotionally I fear hurting people I care about. I am dealing with something now and have been for quite some time but still not able to do what I want to do for fear of the pain I will cause. I can't go into more detail yet. Maybe someday. A couple of you already know and that is enough for now.

What are your fears?

I think waking up in a Kafka-esque world is my biggest fear. And worse: I realize we are getting there.

Heights and Drowning!

Thinking of your, TKDLady and praying for Peace in your life; you are SUCH a great person!

For me its heights, drowing and mothernature.

anything hospital related instills a fear in me which has caused me to run infront of a bus and on another occasion jump out a 3rd floor window.
boats, anything that floats on water due to the rape happening on one.

smaller fears are esculaters - they just freak me out and i cant get a balance on them!

Can't say I am too fond of hospitals either. But at least chances of me giving birth to offspring (and thus be hospitalised) are kind of 0%. How would you cope with that?

With all the discoveries happening now, I'd say that men having babies and giving women a rest WILL happen!

Having a baby is SO different than a normal hospital stay! A baby changes everything...

im not really sure, its something i like to avoid thinking about tbh, ive considered a home birth many many times. i know there has been many complications during birth for needle phobic patients due to panicking, high blood pressure, passing out, going in to a coma, and generally getting incredibly stressed out and panic.

due to the level of fear and the problems the phobia can cause i dont think id be willing to put the baby in that sort of danger. the less stressed and scared i am the better for the baby and for giving birth. so id have to find the easiest and less frightening option available

I can't really say....

I jump off 60-65' cliffs into big bodies of water so drowning and heights are not an issue for me.

Car accidents don't scare me as I have been in more than I care to recall.

I guess if I really had to say anything, clowns. They are just too damn creepy and no one should be that happy all the time!

Usually if I am scared of something I will just force myself to do it and get it over with, then it's not an issue anymore.

No, I won't do a clown.

Emotionally my biggest fear is not finding anyone to love me.

I have an intense fear of being imprisoned and sharing a cell with a 350 lb Black man named Tyrone that wants me to be his "Baby-Cakes."

LMAO!!!

Just don't do anything bad enough to be locked up with a huge guy named Tyrone and you have nothing to worry about.

But no issues of being locked away with a 350 lb black man named Shaun?
