s/o Earthquake...

What is your biggest fear?

Earthquakes are by far my biggest fear! I was 12 when the Northridge, CA 6.8 (or something like that) hit. I remember it like yesterday.

I also fear spiders way more than I should.

Robots freak me out big time.

LM915 · August 2011

My biggest fear is losing DH, I tell him all the time that I have to die first. lol Other than that, I'm really scared of drowning, I feel like that has to be one of the worst ways to die.

Tornadoes. They intrigue and excite me and scare me all at the same time. I've been through several - one night I barely escaped alive - and watched some from the distance... even chased some when I worked in news (with proper training, of course).

And spiders... even harmless Daddy Longlegs! Blech!!

Drowning.

I too fear spiders more than I should.

Both of these.

Drowning, choking... not being able to breathe are the scariest things I can imagine. As for spiders, it's almost irrational. Embarrassed

I'm with you on the losing DH thing. Sometimes I think about it, and I'll start crying, and DH just rolls his eyes because he knows I'm cray cray.

My biggest fear is to burn alive or be crawled all over by bugs, especially roaches.

Same here. We actually went through a period where I told him that all the time when he was trying to quit smoking (for a while he didn't understand why I'd get so upset about him smoking). Other than that, definitely snakes and spiders. Can't stand them!

brookelynpaisley · August 2011

Biggest? That's hard I'm scared of a lot of stuff. I think burning alive and drowning are way up there. I'm also scared of large things and being in a plane crash, though, too. Also, alien invasion, zombieapocalypse, and snakes.

Me too. I'm a pretty strong person and I'm usually someone who can be counted on as calm in a crisis... but I honestly don't know if I could handle that.

I also have an irrational fear of earthworms, which is funny, because I'm a farmer. I almost killed DH when he tossed one in my hand one time thinking it was funny... not realizing that this isn't a "teehee" freak-out. This is a serious freak the fvck out.

eikome · August 2011

Wasps, bees, and stuff that buzzes like bees. It's a HUGE panic-inducing irrational phobia of mine.

I fear this too. Just the thought hurts me.

TerraCotta210 · August 2011

My most horrible fear ever is that I will somehow lose DS (Alex is 4). He is the center of mine and DH's lives and I probably couldn't deal if anything ever happened to him. I mean, he needed B/W at his 4 year check-up last month and I nearly cried, ughhh.

Other than that, I am super terrified of spiders. EWWWW.

I am completely terrified of those things. I can't even say the word. I normally call it "the S word". Haha

Snakes!!!!

This and tornadoes

JHunt28 · August 2011

I am afraid of the dark. Embarrassed And yes I do sleep with a night light. Wow that sounds lame...haha.I also get freaked out by porcelain dolls.

lycih · August 2011

Sharks. For sure.
When I was about 11, I did that thing at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon where you can swim with sharks (nurse sharks, and they were like 20 feet below you... I wonder if this even still exists, it sounds like an insurance nightmare in retrospect) and even that terrified the living sh!t out of me. I also have/had a recurring nightmare brought on by the great white sculpture that's hanging above the line to the walk-thru shark tank at SeaWorld.

megemoney · August 2011

I am unreasonably afraid of the dark. And, what might be lurking in said dark to get me. Even in my locked home, if it is dark, I cannot go into a room.

mlynb · August 2011

Men in yellow hats...j/k

Bad things happening to my family and friends. I get these horrible visions of bad things happening.

SchruteBucks · August 2011

I have so many fears and phobias! if I had to narrow it down to a few they would be:

Losing my children

Losing DF

Spiders (not an irrational fear at all, they are the spawn of satan!)

Large things

Throwing up

Crowds

dalandrea · August 2011

I also have quite a few irrational fears (or totally rational depending on how you look at it). They are:

losing DH- big time fear (really glad to know I'm not the only cray cray one on this)

deep water - you never know what's in there!

subsequent large animals in the deep water

getting lost at sea/falling overboard- basically some sort of Titanic incident

LA drivers- they are really, really bad, and could result in said fear #1

getting fired/becoming homeless- totally irrational, but you never know!

dying young- I fully intend for DH and I to live until we are 102!

not being able to have children of my own- totally irrational at this stage in the game

Crickets. Holy sh!t I hate them. One time they had disced a huge field near my house and it must have uneartherd a bajillion crickets. DH was working out of town and I had left my porch light on. We live out in the sticks so it was the only light in the vicinity and it attracted crickets....as in the porch, walls, columns, ceiling were completely covered in crickets. I lost it big time. I called my mom bawling that I couldn't get in the house. She had to drive to my house and use the water hose to spray the porch down. The next day I had the exterminator spraying the hell out of my house. ::shudders::

This is very true. Especially in the rain.

You would hate my house then! We have a gecko and it lives on crickets. We have to buy them every week and feed them to her. I have a little "cricket corral" that we keep them in.

Buona Fortuna · August 2011

Cockroaches (the giant "banana" ones) scare the hell out of me. I've called a friend over at 2 AM to kill one. I sat in the corner, sobbing, and watching to make sure I still know where it's at so it could be killed when my friend arrived.

I also can't look under/reach under the bed at night. I still think something will grab me.

MandaK411 · August 2011

We just had a earthquake today in Philly! It wasn't so bad.

I'm afraid of Aliens... freaks me out. If any commercials come on about Aliens I immediately turn the channel ....I can't even talk about it

luciddreamer106 · August 2011

I'm afraid of... falling from anything (from heights, from a ladder, from a bike), bees, sharks. MH and family call me "Cautious Christa" because a lot of things tend to scare me.

ETA: Oh, and the dark. I guess I'm a little kid.

jschwind22 · August 2011

Car crashes. I am a horrible passenger. I have so much anxiety as a passenger in a car (as in not having control of the car) that it is really becoming a problem.
