What is your biggest fear?

[Floogeldy]

My biggest fear is intense physical pain from a bad illness. I know it may sound selfish, but it is the truth.

What about you?

[MissB]

1. Jeb Bush as President.

:scared:

[AccessGranted]

12. Falling, Being Burned Alive or Mauled By A Bear

Gives me nightmares.....

[barb162]

18. Frist as prez

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Dying.........

I know, I know.....but there it is......

[Floogeldy]

15. I told you . . .

Don't worry. :)

[Cocoa]

3. being buried alive

:scared:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

7. Same here.

:scared: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Telly Savalas]

4. Having somebody fart on the subway during my morning commute.

Yeah, the severity of the event may not be great, but the likelihood is.

[swag]

5. That I won't get enough sleep.

[file83]

6. To be found guilty of a crime I DIDN'T commit - then being sent to

prison. I don't think I would do well in prison.

[Benfea]

8. My biggest fear has come to pass.

A stupid, incompetent moral cripple sits in the White House.

I used to torment my other geek friends (who universally hate Jar-Jar Binks) by making up stories about "Darth Jar-Jar." Little did I know that we'd get something very similar running the country.

[graywarrior]

9. The next 2-1/2 years with donkey shorts at the helm.

[AngryAmish]

10. Getting my kneecap ripped off by a passing car bumper

Luckily, they don't make bumpers like that anymore.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Having a big-assed panic attack

I can put off being afraid of dying until later. :scared:

[reyd reid reed]

13. Mine is being alone.

What's funny is that that's also one of the things that I crave.

Being alone.

[Random_Australian]

14. Losing my sanity, whish is odd given I'm very unlikely to lose it now

fought long and hard for it... place I lived in didn't tolerate that stuff at the time, so I solved it on my own... I cannot continue without bieng immodest but I will mention I now have an effective 28 part system I use to filter out all delusions, hallucinations, paranoia (just the schitzophrenic bit not the more normal paranoia everyone gets). That doesn't even include the various ways of fighting all the others. For what is wrong with me/why I have to fight so many symptoms, see here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4867278

Personally, the most technically difficult to fight is invented memory (It's almost impossible to distinguish it from real -this is a form of shitzophrenia), but overall, depression, because it saps your will to fight it.

[WCGreen]

16. Girls Gone Wild....

And I can't get an erection.....

[LSK]

17. Flying and debt

[Kerrytravelers]

19. Losing an eye in a painful way.

I can not stand anything near my face. Getting an eye exam is a major panic inducing ordeal for me. I have to pop an anti-anxiety pill first. I do not like anything near my face.

I know, I sound absolutely crazy. I have always been like that. I wear glasses, so once a year, I have to go through the appointment.

But after it's over, I pick out a real cute, sassy pair of glasses and reward myself with a Jamba Juice! :)

[fleabert]

20. death by fire, and that I might never have a child. nt

[Ariana Celeste]

21. Finding out that...

I'm not really a semi-hypochondriac and there really *is* something wrong with me. :scared:

/half-joking

[RumpusCat]

24. Oh, same here!

I'm all, 'Oh, my stomach has been hurting lately. IT'S CANCER!!!' So I guess catastrophic illness and dying young from something shitty like cancer would have to be my fear.

:scared:

[Ariana Celeste]

34. haha yup

Good to see I'm not alone! :hi:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

22. Buried alive or burned alive.

[amitten]

23. Suffocation. n/t

[skygazer]

25. Drowning

Which pisses me off. I don't like being afraid of anything. x(

[slide to the left]

26. hurting my neck

I had to stop going to the chiro bc I hated when he popped my neck. I won't get close to the edge of a cliff bc I am scared I will fall and hurt my neck

[Fleshdancer]

27. Losing my husband and/or daughter

Especially losing my daughter. The worst form of hell would be if someone hurt her. I know my limitations and I wouldn't be able to survive that. I might survive losing her in an accident like a car crash, especially if it happened quickly. But if someone was responsible for causing her pain and death, the hate and blinding rage would crush me.

[lizziegrace]

28. Dying young

and leaving my daughter (an only child) to face the world without me. I don't want her to ever be alone in this world...

[miss_american_pie]

29. Dying when my kids are young

and being able to hear them cry from the great beyond.

That and being buried alive.

[RevCheesehead]

30. Spending the rest of my life alone...

and ultimately, dying alone.

[lizziegrace]

36. I can relate Rev

That's my second-worst fear.

:hug:

[Beware the Beast Man]

31. Carnies.

Circus folk. Smell like cabbage. Small hands....

[Arugula Latte]

35. Heh heh.

I always liked that line, especially because I had a run-in with a tough carnie girl. I was a sheltered little suburban kid (probably about 13) and the carnie wouldn't my friends and me off a ride because she thought one of us had dissed her. She even hit the friend in question (who had not tried to dis the carnie, by the way). Verrrrrry scary ... :scared:

[Puglover]

32. well 3 things

1. dying. (I like being alive)
2. being buried alive. (pretty unlikely)
3. being eaten by a shark (great white preferably)

Since #'s 2 and 3 probably won't happen I can safely bank on the fact that # 1 will be the one that gets me in the end.

O8)

[Call Me Wesley]

33. I go with the pain associated to a severe illness,

but the thing that freaks me out just to think about is this scenario:

Encapsuled in an air tight steel container, unable to move, thrown into the ocean. Yes, I know, I'm creative this way. Can you commit quick suicide just through mind power?

[Heidi]

37. Being dependant,

being a burden to anyone I love.

[azmouse]

38. Hawks, owls, cats, snakes....

Lots of things that like mice. <:3)~~~~ :scared:

[Call Me Wesley]

39. You'd better

not look at my latest thread, then. Really! :scared:

[catmandu57]

40. Snakes

They give me the willies, I stepped on a snake once when I was mushroom hunting damn near went into cardiac arrest.

[Shine]

41. One of my children dying before me.

it's hard to even think about....

:cry:
