What's your worst fear?

What is the worst life and death situation you would fear to be in?

Mine is swimming in the ocean and being attacked by a shark.

I hate the stuff! Showers are ok, shallow baths are ok! Rain is ok. But thats it! the rest.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I like hot showers as long as it doesn't get on my face, and hot baths and swimming pools if I can wear a diving mask, and there's absolutely no splashing.

I'd rather be shot with a firearm than a squirt gun.

I hate it that much! I may get laughed at, but at lest I'm happy in my tree at the river! Let them dround!

eight years of Cheney, and then eight years of Coulter.

YOU win!ewwwwwwwwwww! bad thought, bad thought! yuck!

Don't do that!

You scared the hell out of me. I'm going to need therapy.....

And after MAnn comes Jenna Bush?

Four more years of Shrub HAS to be up there.

On a more personal level, I have always had a weird complex about looking at mirrors in dark rooms. If I go to the bathroom at night I always reach in and switch on the light before I even look into the room! (Maybe it came from watching The Watcher in the Woods at a very young age... haha) I don't even want to think about playing that "Bloody Mary" game!

I also get freaked out by porcelain dolls and anything else, people included, that has glassy eyes. And even though I love dogs, I used to (I'm totally serious!) have recurring nightmares about being attacked by lines and lines of chihuahuas walking towards me on their hind legs with their front legs outstretched- which is actually a pretty freaky visual if you really concentrate and think about it!

Losing control of my mind.

...dieing alone.

that relates to this, but I am so terrified of it, I can't even speak about it.

get asked, early on, of the characters in the book 1984 by Orwell?

For Winston Smith, it was rats.

Do you mean democRATS?
I knew 1984 was right wing propaganda - that's why the bad guys are the government instead of the corporations. Which is why the repukes want to drown it in a bathtub. It's bad, bad.

I am not sure whether he (Bush) knows all of the prophecies and how deep of a student he has been in God's Word, but I was contacted a few weeks ago by the Office of Public Liaison for the White House and by the National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice to make an outline. And I’ve spent hours preparing it. I will release this information to the public in September, but it’s in his hands.

I doubt I'd fare very well "inside." That said, I live a squeaky-clean life, for what that's worth.

Although that's no guarantee if, say, you're out late one night, just walking home, and a cop car pulls over...

(a) getting laid off

or

(b) the people I work for lose their funding. :-( They're the awesomest group of people too!

or rather to be so sentenced to be exposed before my peers by a giant spewing cartoon ass.

I'd rather be burned alive than drown.

I have a very morbid fear of that.

But I also fear losing one of my two children.

And I'm very worried that Bush & Co will remain in power.

I was stung 37 times by a swarm when I was like 7 or 8. Scarred me for life!

Also high places, death of those I love, drowning, being buried alive, being burned, being attacked....I need to see a psychiatrist!

:silly:

I have a severe case of acrophobia.

But I guess my big phobia is snakes. I can't stand the sight of them. I won't even touch pictures of them. And they're always in my dreams.

As Sartre described, the fear that everything seems to become meaningless and boring. A defense mechanism against the relentless barrage of injustice in the world, and it becomes a realistic fear.

Drowning freaks me out, but I'm a swimming buff so it's not really a phobia.

Bugs though.... I know, they're bugs. But my deal is they are so small, so unnoticable, and some can kill you with 1 puncture. IT FREAKS ME OUT (especially spiders).

And I get vertigo when I look off a 20 foot ledge. lol

I've had my moments of fear in the past, but they became remote when I realized that fear was an emotion that has a certain benefit, but the downsides far outweigh any good.

I think my greatest fear would be in a situation where I could do some good, but I would not act quickly enough to have the desired outcome; like being able to stop a murder, robbery or rape. I would wear the scars for many years if I knew I could have done something to prevent it, but didn't.

Pretty crappy fear really...but I've already beaten death several times, and as far as lonely goes, I figure I'm there forever at this rate.

I don't know why, but they freak me out. I'm not a huge fan of heights, but I'm getting better as I rock climb more.

Cancer could fit that.

like all the rest I post in.

From your profile, your a dare devil!
