What do you fear?

  Well, what do you fear?
  
  For me, being crippled. Unable to walk or something, having to rely on other people to do everything for me. D:

  Your face!
  
  But really, I don't know what I fear... I guess being a failure or a bad parent.

  Paranormal crap.
  Living and dying alone.
  Becoming blind. <-- I'm so close to this it isn't even funny. :c
  All technology shutting down.
  WWIII.
  Robot/ zombie invasion.

  We leave this world as we enter it: ALONE.
  Where did I hear that?... :\

  Becoming deaf is much more scary to me.
  I love music, and if I couldn't listen to it... I'd go crazy. I couldn't live without it.

  Spiders.
  Being watched.
  Taking up someone's time due to my slowness.
  
  I can't think of anything else. Fail. I was afraid of roller coasters but I've grown to like them, but I still refuse to ride those OMG3LOOPSHURHUR coasters.

  I fear becoming blind since I can't watch anime, read manga, nor play games. Zombies have been a fear of mine for years as well.

  Broad answer - Physical disabilities
  Random specific answer - Bugs

  I am scared of losing the ones I love. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
  
  But almost everyone fears that.
  
  A more distinctive fear would be my fear of heights. I've never been on a rollercoaster before because of it and I don't swing very high on swings because of it. I dunno whether it's the fear of heights per se or just the fear and the feeling of falling.
  
  The feeling of drowning is also very scary. Those two are my top fears, I would say.

  Should I say palpable things? Specific ones?
  I guess one very specific one that always really grinds my gears in movies, and I hate when I see it realized on the screen...
  I can't stand the severing of the achilles tendon.
  I don't know why but something about that really gets under my skin, and I'm a horror/gore movie buff.
  
  I guess one weird one, I'm afraid of being surrounded.
  I don't think I have claustrophobia, but I hate being surrounded by people, I get really anxious.
  One reason I quit my old job.
  
  I don't like deep water with things in it. I'm fine if it's a deep water tank that's empty, but if there is a sunken ship or a whale or something larger than me or a car or a house, I'm not getting in.

  I had a horrifying dream the other day, I love rollercoasters, and I don't consider myself afraid of heights, but I woke up sweating cause I remember sliding on a narrowing path of wet grass about to jut off of a cliff to my doom. It was 400-500 feet in the air.. :worry: It was so real, I almost cried.
  I don't normally have nightmares.

  I'm afraid of a lot of things.
  
  Zombies
  Zombies are at the top. When I was little, my cousin would insist I go to sleep instead of watching him play resident evil because he knew it would scare me. Whenever he saw that I was still awake and watching him play, he would leave the game and the room altogether, and let his character die just to scare me. There was recently a zombie event at my school. All my friends and I thought it would be so much fun, but I was genuinely afraid of the mob of zombies until they gave me a little wristband that denoted me as a victim. After that I had a lot of fun.
  
  Heights
  Heights are a big one, but that's not too strange. I have a fear of any man-made structure that operates high up. I'm afraid to trust that they did their job well enough that the bridge, elevator, building, staircase, 5th floor, ladder, scaffolding, tram will be sturdy enough to support me. It's really a shame since there are a lot of beautiful mountain ranges around, but I can't go to them because the only way is over a bridge or across a cliff-side catwalk.
  
  Escalators.
  When I was a kid, I almost died on an escalator. 'nuff said.
  
  Myself
  Rather often I get impulses to just jump over railings or balconies if I'm near one (lending to my fear of balconies). If I'm holding a knife, I get the urge to just stab whoever's near me, or myself if I'm alone. Sometimes I just feel like biting a huge chunk of flesh out of my arm for absolutely no reason at all. Toxic substance? Oh yeah, lemme just drink that, just to see how it tastes. Recently I had to stop practicing painting because I couldn't stop myself from drinking the ink just to see what it tasted like.

  I fear anything logical to be feared, though this is mainly because I usually think of how things can go wrong. I'm a pessimist too and I'm not brave either.

  I used to be terrified of bugs, but after living in a moth infested house.. I got over that really fast. I can at least kill them now!
  
  On another note, injections. Needles and anything that I'm not in control of that goes near my body freaks me out. I can't even stand watching them on TV (I end up covering my eyes). Then again.. :P I could just say I'm afraid of pain.

  I fear rejection and certain heights. I didn't know I feared heights until I stepped to the edge of the Grand Canyon and saw just how tiny the Colorado River was from up there.
  
  But rejection... yea, definitely afraid of it, to the point where I hardly ever fully put my feelings about something or someone on the table.

  I'm also afraid of my bones and my throat.

  [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="2"]I get scared that when I hold a knife, I'll accidentally hurt/kill someone (cause I'm really careless and clumsy haha), which is why I get really really nervous when I hold knives or sharp things @___@ That's only one of the many things I'm scared of haha D:[/SIZE][/FONT]
