What do you have a fear of?

[annabananna]

I’m scared of elevators. I’m always scared it’ll freefall.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

You've liftophobia? Same here. There's no way to lift the fear of elevators off of me, but life can go up or down.

Also terrorists. Hope Allāh will damn them in jahannam.

Centipedes. Those big hairy creatures with too many legs give me the heebie-jeebies.

I'm also very paranoid of schizophrenia.

[annabananna]

Yea I know they’re really safe but I’m still scared lol. I had one in New York that went up before I pressed the button! That FREAKEd me out!

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I don't like millipedes and centipedes either. I find them scary.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

@PBandJ_Nerd millipedes are all right for me as their legs are shorter

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Anna, i wouldn’t bet on that. I’ve read about a lift that gets stuck and when pressing the emergency button, it goes SIDEWAYS. the book is a Goosebumps book by R L Stine.

[tfan1]

Latex balloons. Either hearing the helium inflating them or hearing someone blowing them up manually. If I see anyone with a balloon on a string - I will run you down to get away from it. I looked it up. It’s called globophobia. I have no problem with Mylar balloons or water balloons though.

[annabananna]

Are you allergic?

[tfan1]

No I’m not allergic to latex 🙂

[Echosoul]

Birthdays must be a nightmare for you :/

[Aerissa_Jade]

Living forever, that is a huge fear of mine... life is hard enough as it is, I would hate to be immortal.

[annabananna]

I would love that

[CateM]

You're in luck, we all die someday

[Aerissa_Jade]

Being immortal would mean, I'd have to watch everyone I know and love die before me, plus I'd have to work forever. I can't even imagine working a hundred years, ugh. Unless I somehow became super rich, even then... a few thousand years, I'd get way bored.

At least it will end someday, so all is well.

[Andres77]

Maybe if you had a good running buddy…😉

[Aerissa_Jade]

@Andres77 True, since I am the Diosa de la muerte con cabello negro y piel morena... I just need to find my Dios, to live out eternity with.

[Andres77]

I hope you find him. I’m pulling for you.

[Berethor]

@Aerissa_Jade "who wants to live forever?" trope but you fear something that don't exist.

[Aerissa_Jade]

@Berethor I hope so, as energy cannot be destroyed.

[CateM]

Dying in vain. I want to live with a purpose. And loud sudden noises, especially fire alarms

[AmeerX]

I have fear of closed spaces and heights. I don't know about closed spaces but I actually fell down so I am very careful around edges of buildings. I don't know why but I also seem to have problem with personal space. I don't like handshakes with anyone or them trying to hug me. I mean people do it here but I just don't put my arm around them 😅. Just not me

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Claustrophobia and acrophobia, respectively.

[AmeerX]

@HippieVeganJewslim May be but I really hate someone trying to shakehands. I am happy in winters. I Have gloves and don't have to take off gloves.

[annabananna]

So are you scared of elevators too because they are up high and enclosed.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Often claustrophes fear lifts, so probably.

[AmeerX]

No I don't have fear of Elevators. I feel uneasy when I am stuck with people in closed space. Like in a classroom I always kept one space in chairs if I had the opportunity

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I feel like You do often, Ameer.

[AmeerX]

@HippieVeganJewslim lol

[MCheetah]

Shrinking. As in, losing height even half an inch. Seriously.
Although if you want a more detailed explanation to that, it's physical weakness. Short/small people are weak. So in a roundabout way, I'm saying being physically weak and helpless, is my true fear. Which is just one reason I loath being the height I am - 180 cm - as much as I do. Just one reason out of dozens, though.

I'm not afraid of anything else in life, including death.

[spartan55]

Being attacked and killed by a hippo...

[DizzyDesii]

Never wouldve guessed gloria moved like rhinos

[spartan55]

They can run up to 30 mph.

[DizzyDesii]

Yowzers

[dustybiker]

.😳.

[-Mad-]

I can relate to your fear but I try to ignore it.

I live in a country where most elevators are old and rusty, they are the kind with the door isn’t attached to elevator each floor has a door.

And sometimes I see holes 🕳️ on the floor

[Echosoul]

Eek. I used an old loft once. It was interesting. I don't think it was rusty though

[Echosoul]

*lift. (elevator)

[-Mad-]

@Echosoul worst kind of elevators

[exitseven]

I am afraid of heights. If I have to go up in a tall building i have to really psyche myself up to get in the elevator. I went up in the Empire State Building and really had to make myself angry to go up in it.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas is great, I love how the building sways in the wind. Plus the rides they have on top are pretty fun too.

I imagine all that would not be so fun for you.

[exitseven]

@Aerissa_Jade I was not always afraid of heights. I worked on roofs and went on the world's tallest roller coaster. I think I have some inner ear thing that causes it

[Aerissa_Jade]

Ah, sounds like Meniere's, I have relatives who have it.

[exitseven]

@Aerissa_Jade It started in my 40s I think I tried to just pretend I wasn't afraid but after a couple of years I sort of gave up. The Empire State Building was very challenging

[CrazyGirl2]

OMG Snakes! I hate them. I have a serious case of herpetophobia! I can’t even look at them on the computer or TV!

[Andres77]

Boots and a shovel…

[Andres77]

Good options for dealing with snakes. It’s only 4 minutes. Trust me…😉
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ENUCdcI8vOs

[CrazyGirl2]

@Andres77 LOL, “Let’s have a BBQ, invite all the neighbors we don’t like, and let nature take it’s corse?” Absolutely hilarious! I want you to understand precisely HOW MUCH trust I actually had in you that allowed me to watch that video! Because deep inside me, I was convinced that it was gonna be some awful video w/ snakes in it! I’ve had so many so-called friends send me videos with titles like “cutest bunny EVER!” Then when I clicked on it, yeah I was a bunny, until the friggin snake jumped out of nowhere and killed and ate the bunny! So I was REALLY putting a LOT of faith in you that you wouldn't trick me. But im glad you didn't that was very funny. I like some of the dry bar stuff.

[Andres77]

Thank you for trusting me. I’m glad you enjoyed his humor. Dry bar comedy is a blessing in that I can share quality clean humor with my daughters.
When in doubt…call Steve😉

[CrazyGirl2]

@Andres77 Thank you again, I really appreciated it (and that it wasn’t secretly a snake video). 🤣
by the way, I didn’t know you had daughters, do you mind if I ask how old?

[Andres77]

15, 17.
Oldest graduated when she was 16. Got her license on a Tuesday in August. I bought her a car Wednesday. She’s finishing her first year of college this spring.
Younger is active in volleyball. Taking her to a tournament this weekend.
We stay busy and I’m very active in their lives.

[Andres77]

I’ve eaten portions of three snakes, by the way. 1st was in one survival school in the army so we’d know what it tasted like.2nd was in another survival school in the army because after 4 days we’d eaten a few cobs of corn and a snake, one panfish and some acorns. 3rd because a local wanted to share his food with us while we were training in the jungles of Venezuela before Hugo Chavez destroyed the place.

[CrazyGirl2]

@Andres77 Oh wow, that’s incredible! You are clearly a VERY proud daddy! Wit you being so active in their lives, I’m sure they are both very fine young women. The only girls I knew in high school who had difficulties, especially where boys were concerned, were the girls with barely any relationship with their dad’s. A father is SO important to a teenage girl especially! It’s almost like if daddy doesn’t give her the appropriate affection and attention, they seek inappropriate affection from boys! Myself and your daughter’s were very lucky in that way. Good for you! (Seriously).

[CrazyGirl2]

@Andres77 OMG, NO! I would starve, seriously! I’d be like, “nah, I'm good. I mean look, my hips look a little big anyway, so I think I’ll just grab some more acorns later maybe!

[Andres77]

Every day is a challenge but there’s no doubt that I love them. I try to help where I can. And if I can make you laugh in the process, even better.

[Andres77]

Gotta let the acorns boil for a while and change the water a few times to leach the tannic acid out and they help a lot.
I’m guessing you don’t want to know about the old lady spit…🤣

[CrazyGirl2]

@Andres77 That’s all we want really, just to see that you are there supporting us when we need it most. Oh, and hugs… lots of hugs!

[CrazyGirl2]

@Andres77 I. Think if I get the urge to “rough it” I’ll stick to camping in rural hotels with spotty WiFi, and no room service after 6pm!

[Andres77]

Wow, daring…😉

[Andres77]

I told my oldest that one day soon I’m going to meet her when she gets out of work and we’re going to pretend that she went in a ditch and she’s going to camp out “by herself” so I can see how she does and we’ll see what else we need to pack in her trunk so she’ll be ready in case of an emergency.
Of course I’ll help her but I want to see how she does on her own before I step in. The first time you use your emergency gear should not be when you’re in need. It should be routine

[Anemone978]

Heights and escalators... partly because final destination and partly because I seen a video of a mother fall in and someone saved her son for her but couldn't save her I think in china or something...

[Tamera952]

Dark Murky water that you can’t see the bottom of, …. snakes, gators, & all the prehistoric bugs that live in Florida. …umm, …. drowning, suffocating, poop, vaginas, & people that wear street shoes indoors in their house.

[boredgal]

me too, thats why I take the stairs more lol. but im more scared of ghosts.

[annabananna]

Omg I used to be scared of ghosts but not anymore. I really don’t even think about it anymore but I slept with a light in till 25.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Something I was one of the most afraid of - already happened.

At least the good thing is there’s one less thing to be afraid of.

[SnowedIn]

• Bees.
• Failure.
• People I know ghosting me.

[DizzyDesii]

Omg bees, wasps and yellow jackets 😭 hell even butterflies

[spartan55]

@DizzyDesii
🦋 Butterflies? Quirk notated.

[DizzyDesii]

@spartan55 lmao man those mfs like to chase especially the blue and black ones

[spartan55]

@DizzyDesii
Maybe it's your perfume or something because I've never been chased by a butterfly 🦋... 😂 😂 😂

[DizzyDesii]

@spartan55 nah them mfs been chasing me since i was a kid

[Guardian45]

It's your sweet blood!

[Guardian45]

@DizzyDesii.

[DizzyDesii]

@Guardian45 i meeeean 😝 I do keep the vampires cummin back for more

[purplepoppy]

A freefalling elevator is nothing to be scared of. The bit you've got to worry about is the few agonising seconds on impact when your internal organs liquify and your bones shatter.

[MCheetah]

But what's YOUR fear?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I am not scared of elevators. I get annoyed by the sensation I get when they are about to stop on some floor.

[UniquelyBasic]

Cockroaches but only the big fully grown ones. They freak me out so much 😨

[Anonymous]

It's natural to feel self-conscious, nervous, or shy in front of others at times. Most people get through these moments when they need to. But for some, the anxiety that goes with feeling shy or self-conscious can be extreme. I am among them.

[NathanDavis]

not being able to help for those I care for...

[Blackcupcake]

and cupcakes…

[NathanDavis]

@Blackcupcake no, I like cupcakes

[Blackcupcake]

[NathanDavis]

and honey butter biscuits

[Blackcupcake]

and warm fresh cinnamon apple crumble pie with cold vanilla sauce… made by cupcake

[NathanDavis]

@Blackcupcake I do like pineapple pies

[Blackcupcake]

@NathanDavis never had it… but I have a few days off so might dive into baking one

[NathanDavis]

@Blackcupcake yes you should... I will find a recipe

[Blackcupcake]

si señorito

[Chazmatazz269]

Open heights inspire in me a fear that is arguably irrational. The same goes for hypodermic needles. I would argue that neither fear is irrational, but my reactions to both at certain times definitely suggests an extreme. Ell oh ell!

[Alex8736]

i can go skydiving, bungee jumping, etc but my biggest fear is bees

[annabananna]

I’d rather get stung by a bee

[Agape93]

Sinking into the depths of the ocean and being eaten alive

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Bugs & insects, heights, the dark, and clowns.

[Berethor]

I am not scared of elevators but I don't like heights, so it close enough I guess.

[Summeroflove]

I don’t know anymore. Death for sure. Probably something with a lot of people

[Sevenpointfive]

blue waffles, not to be confused with blueberry waffles

[DizzyDesii]

Animals mainly

[annabananna]

All animals?

[DizzyDesii]

Mainly cats, dogs, birds, lizards, hamsters/rodents and insects. I haven't really been around the others but if i can't handle domestic shit then i definitely dont want to face the wild 😂

[annabananna]

You’d hate my neighbors dog. His life mission is to come in our yard and be annoying

[DizzyDesii]

Haha

[TaureanBull81]

Surely you're not scared of your pussy 🤣🤣

[DizzyDesii]

@TaureanBull81 oooo you’re so 😝🔥

[TaureanBull81]

Oooooooh you love it 😀

[nawtee_me]

Hey, what is that behind you? lol

[DizzyDesii]

@nawtee_me nice try

[nawtee_me]

@DizzyDesii lol

[HelloHell]

I have a fear, that what if I fall in love and the other person doesn't. This fear keeps me away from love.

[Sam2Iam]

Deep dark water. When swimming and I can’t see below me I always envision something coming up and touching my left.

[Sparkie460]

I'm afraid of bees , wasps and hornets. I'm allergic to them. If I get sting I can die.

[mstbooblover]

The randomness of people's stupidity and aggressivity.

[Andres77]

That something happens to my kids. Everything else is manageable. I don’t think I’d recover if something happened to my girls.

[jennifer_bloom]

My two biggest fears for the last 7 years has been dentists and airplanes.

[Rollingstones84]

Definitely heights, I get kind of a dizzy sensation when up high

[Echosoul]

Police and prison. That is I can interact with police but the latter concern.

[Guardian45]

Things NOT going as I planned or predicted. I'm an ANALyst!🤣

[DancingQueen16]

I'm afraid of spiders, snakes, mice and public embarrassment

[Catarine]

I'm scared of spiders

[annabananna]

I’m only scared of these that are pregnant and a million babies pop out when you step in it.

[Catarine]

I would probably die if I saw that in person

[Bklynbadboy12]

Honestly I don't know cause I've never been afraid of anything

[Massageman]

Elevators are made with redundant safeties, so this the risk is minimal.

[ArtemisSilver]

Bears. Apparently they like to eat people dick first while they're still alive.

[LavLavLuv]

• Insects
• Reptiles
• Going broke

[Anonymous]

I have no fears at the moment, but I'm guessing I will as I get older.

[collie22]

I'm afraid of getting shot sometimes when I go places

[Hardworkingguy]

Mm well lately I've been feeling afraid if extreme heights. For example when o see construction workers outside of a very tall building 🏢

[sunflower44]

Horror movies 🤮like I can know exactly what's gonna happen and I still freak out every time 😱

[Staximus]

Heights and deep water, flying in airplanes. I'll pass.

[bowenw]

Spiders, sea creatures, ghosts.

[Anonymous]

[Cassie2002]

Heights especially a place without railings.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

God and hell. It's just terrifying to me.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I'm scared of fire.

[Iron_Man]

Do you have fear of death

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Iron_Man: No.

[Iron_Man]
