What would your "Jar of fears" be?

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Here's a clean copy, you're supposed to fill in the jars in accordance to what scares you the most. A comment should be easier tbh.

This is my attempt to do it so now you have an idea

[Rosexøxø]

Small spaces- only if they’re ‘boxed’ in or man-made and small, to the point I’m actually constricted, and can feel my own hot breath.

heights- half and half. Depends. Sometimes I freak out in high places (mind over matter), wasn’t afraid or anxious, at all, as a kid. I don’t mind flying literally 🛫

spiders- only caution and a rushed heart beat if I know they’re active near me and venomous (fast as well), I’ll do what I have to, to move them to their own space outside. I love jumping spiders and hold those all the time. Bold jumpers are my favorites amongst all their species. I’d hold a peacock spider, but I’d avoid the hair-shooting tarantula. I think I’d walk by a black widow and be fine. Huntsman and Goliath spider seem okay by me, as well.

Darkness- only if I can’t see at all, and others can easily see me. I fear the possible *disadvantage.* Otherwise I love it.

Public speaking- also half and half. My body reacts crazily- but I don’t mind it at all lol my hands used to shake, and my voice as well; uncontrollably. I almost couldn’t stand and I’m like- tf? You do this all the time breh 😂 “everyone hold your seats!”💺

Clowns- nope

Snakes- like the spider- a “respectful fear” of the venom.

Losing a loved one- sometimes. I used to but I don’t think I fear it. Only if I think about it. It’s self induced.

Water- only riptides and deep pools. The pool, and seeing the bottom- I think subconsciously it makes me think I could easily fall to the bottom and somehow lakes and oceans are “stronger” lmfao to actually hold me.

Fire- I wouldn’t want it to happen- but I’m not scared lol

death- kind of the same as fire

abuser- never had one. I could handle it.

Growing older- barely. Just the thought Of the death part. Otherwise, I don’t really care.

Social anxiety- 🤔 only in the area of public speaking or interviews lol otherwise, I don’t really care

germs- only if I have an open wound. Otherwise, I’m in dirt and trash all day 😂🤟

Going insane- only twice because when I thought about it (the actual process or act), I thought my mind would easily follow and I wouldn’t be able to control it or stop it 🤣 it was like a cycle type of thing, but I got myself out of that.

Abandonment- no. Just no..

being caught in a shooting- I’d actually want to show others how to handle the situation, at the same time, without glorifying or letting violent people know my strategy. Want to be able to say I lived through one.. so yeah. Lmao

Anesthesia- who? Lol

dying alone- not really. Just the death process part. Hopefully there is no “process,” Dunno yet 🤔🤷‍♀️😂

The unknown- YESSS. I gotta know everything to plan ahead, and not be caught by surprised.

Flying- plane? No. Air balloon? Yes. Never rode in an air balloon, though..

holes- no. I’ll just need some tool, or I’ll just climb my way out.

Swarming insects- they’re okay. Cute little fellas. Bees? doable. Hornets? No… only one at a time, please 👐lol

pregnancy- probably just the sharp pain of the UNKNOWN lol and I may not even go that route, so not worried.

Failure- YES, wanna do my best. Don’t want to stay in my mistakes.

Being paralyzed- I think I’d just hate it. I don’t want to be filled with a lot of hate.

Other’s finding out my secrets- barely, but really not at all.

[Rosexøxø]

It was a long answer. Apologies, but I had to clarify. 😂🤝

Fun question, by the way.

I think all fear are illogical, so I’ll do my best not to take any of those seriously. 😁👐

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Lol, it's fine, I enjoyed your answer. The most you can do about your fears is to be prepared like you do, but yeah, its silly for the most part.

[Rosexøxø]

Indeed! Thanks for the kind reply 😊👌

[NathanDavis]

*mildly annoyed*

[Rosexøxø]

@NathanDavis *Wonders why*

*Clears digital throat- aherm*

“ @NathanDavis why? You wanted me to be afraid of something? Or the whole list? 😂Lmaooo or was my filling of jars the trigger” 🤣

[NathanDavis]

I will consider them as frozen fears... or they went stale

[Rosexøxø]

@NathanDavis 🤩 nicee 👌

I’ll consider that a badge of honor lol

*Places jars of stale fears next to my jar of dead bugs*

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Why do you have bugs tho?

[Rosexøxø]

it’s how I over come my fears 👻

🤣 jk jk but I used to keep them in jars in summer like one: a caterpillar 🐛, a cute little aphid once, and any weird bug I absolutely never seen before, until I could search and figure out what is was. One of my newest favorites, I found crawling on me was the green lace wing larvae- literally so cool and they won’t bite you either! But they looked like they could so I jarred it until I knew for sure.

Anything alive that I would capture I would release.

Now the only “dead” thing I actually have in a jar, is a molted skin of a cicada. Super freakish looking. Like some cool alien lol

I lost the other skins or have them boxed away

That’s about it- dead skins lol

[AddylynnNightingale]

I should have picked a different color, it made me hungry.

[MCheetah]

Being seen as small, weak, and helpless.

Dying without having done anything positive in my life to better the world.

Those are the only two fears I have about ANYTHING in life and the first jar would be 100% full. The second one would be about 45% full.

[NathanDavis]

mildly germophobic here... more of an aversion, though

[Rosexøxø]

Gotta seal that jar! Lol I think yours is creative because literally all the proportion of your possible fear gets evenly placed into the germs fear jar. This pictures just seems like a breath of relief. I do apologize though for that.

I like how our fears can be visualized as placed into jars- which can remain sealed and contained- we can understand it from observing it and be okay. Like if it’s any comfort- scientists actually capture bacterial matter and secures it in tablets to study under the microscope 🔬 🧫 and they’re not afraid.

I think it’s so amazing we can always find someone who stares at the very thing that scares us and can actually call that a joy! It gives me hope. I hope this sharing of a thought/ read can give hope to you and others who can relate.

[NathanDavis]

@Rosexøxø literally the only reason why I didn't even consider medicine as a possible career for me, lol

[Rosexøxø]

😂🤝 well said

[SnowedIn]

This is an awesome question. I'm sorry that I couldn't get my silly phone to work...

My two full jars are failure and abandonment. The rest have some in them but not a huge amount.

[Massageman]

For me, it would really vary day to day.

Where's the jar for "politics"? Mine would have to be a silo for that one!

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Thats fair. What would a fear of politics look like? A fear of all the dumb things politicians do?

[Massageman]

For starters, in generic terms, yes.
Many "fears" are unfounded. Many- if not darn near all- are true i. c. w. politics.
A. Dumb things.
1. Foreign policy- bad and getting worse
a. Sucking up and begging to our enemies
b. Yielding on far too many issues

2. Maintain the safety and sovereignty of the nation- what a joke on that one
a. Letting other countries tell the US what to do, esp in trade and environment
b. Trusting the untrustable
3. Maintain a strong military- woke and broke- smaller and smaller expense %age @ year
a. Liberalized thinking at every turn
b. Continued reduction of physical and intelligence standards of militia
c. Slowed development of new generation ships/planes/etc.
d. Little/no support of military and retired militia
4. Giveaway programs for more and more people who do nothing to support the country
etcetera

The biggest "fear" is the stupidity behind so many decisions made solely to be "successful" politicians. I just read a little blurb: "The people who shut down our businesses and killed our careers now want us to re-elect them so they can keep their jobs. We should never forget what they have done to us".

[Agape93]

Here we go. by the way swarming insects only because that usually means I'm getting bit by black flies

[dustybiker]

[dustybiker]

Suffering is a big one for me, much more than death. It should be a jar.

[Debbie14217]

heights... snakes... bears... bees hornets wasps... being fat like i already am

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Those are fair fears but de about being fat, that's something you can lose in most cases. Losing a bear and tiny mean insects is hard and dangerous.

[Debbie14217]

true

[bean2k21]

With the exception of getting pregnant, I do all of this stuff in a typical weekend.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Oh public speaking would be full, social anxiety too, losing a loved one would be 60%, failure and abandonmentvwould be high

[CrimsonAngel09]

[pink-jilly]

This... haha

[TrillXHippy]

The other one is snakes

[LavLavLuv]

Ta da

[EaterPeter]

Small spaces holes and more

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[michael00007]

No fear as such what happens happens
