Me? Tilt-a-whirls and 5 gallon buckets.
A monstrous fear of public speaking and if I see a pitbull or rotweiler I will cross the street because they can smell the fear and start getting all crazy. Thank god the dude's that own them usually have huge pipes cuz the dogs damn near drag their owners 1/2 way across the street after me.

Nothing scares me if I know about it, the shock effect is what makes me jump.
-
Just spiders and heights.
-
Failure.
-
Oh yeah.... add #oscar% crows to the list.
Been attacked by them twice. Once was on a busy street, and a small crowed formed around me while I was getting attacked. Three of the bastards just started JABOing me out of the blue. I put my briefcase up in self defence to ward off the attacks. I wanted sooo bad to take a healthy swing at the #@$ers but considering the neighbourhood I would have been arrested for animal cruelty, so I weathered it and they eventually gave up, and the giggling crowd dissipated.
Crows definitely freak me out.

Public Speaking,
Fear It's self
Rock Climbing and those automatic repelling things, I dunno why I just don't trust it.

Fear when she starts dating. Then my advice is to get a large gun collection and be convientently cleaning it whenever the prospective date comes over.

Make videos of yourself and leave them for her in your will.
That way she will always have something of you she can see and her of you.
Pluse just stay healthy and you will be around for her a long time.

So Nash
If you see a Pitbull with a 5 Gallon bucket, standing on a pulpit in front of a tilt a wirl, do you just wet your self and pass out? Or do you have to take long walks on the beach with SOB to recover?
-
Well this is all hush hush but me and SOB already take long walks on the beach. Purely to trade twisted internet links under the setting sun, mind you.
By merely mentioning the scene you describe, it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg in therapy bills. I should just send the bill to you.
-
Image a rotwieler humping the Pit in the same scene~!~
:D
-
Now... that's kinda sexy. :)
Gonna redial my therapist and say "never mind".
-
How about them both humping your legs? All the while a 5 gallon bucket waiting for you to fall head first in as the dogs, get Wild
-
The "major damage" sound in AH always made me jump. I hate that thing. Nothing like paying attention to something, trying to line up a firing solution thinking that your wingman is covering your prettythang and then hearing that sound(s). Then you get the
in the TB and then you yell at the *****er that just shot you down while typing a polite yet not so sincere back. Yeah, I love that sound.
-
mainly just situations where I'm powerless to influence the outcome.
I have a lot of self confedence, or at least if I'm actively doing something I can put the problem out of my mind.
for example, I don't have a problem with planes but sitting in an airliner being flown by a guy I've never met, and can't see requires some alcohol. I actaully think I'd be more comfortable with flying it myself even though I'm completely unqualified (flight sim experience aside. :D
same thing with the idea of skydiving. it's not the idea of the alt, the falling, or the fear of death. it's the thought of having a failure, running out of options and waiting to hit the ground. the thought of those powerless moments is pretty damn terrofying.
when things go really wrong I'm actually quite level headed, and can deal with just about everything life has thrown at me so far. it's afterwards when everythings ok I usually have the panic attack.
in case you haven't guessed I'm kind of a control freak.
-
I'm going to have to second the spiders.. I ****ing hate spiders.
-
My biggest fear?
Completely Hearing lost without H-Aid
-
blindness even more so if coupled with deafness.
wasps and/or bees
-
Only that really puts fear in me is being closed in underwater. Like a small tunnel under the water.
I don't mind something that I can see the end of, it's just that you will NEVER get me to swim into a narrow, restrictive passage underwater that I cannot see daylight at the end.
Spiders, heights, guns, knives, failure, etc don't mean sh i t to me...but I will not go into an underwater tunnel where I cannot turn around. Full stop.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

The thing that freaks me out is swiming in the ocean, being unable to see but a few feet below me. I always wonder what in the hell is down there waiting to make lunch out of me.
So many freakish things in the ocean.

What Nuke and Drunky said. I get really claustrophobic underwater, especially in any kind of enclosed space. I've always hated holding my breath underwater. And swimming in oceans, and even lakes to some extent, freaks me out. Never know what's just under the surface.
I took up scuba diving to get over it, but I still wouldn't go anywhere near an overhang or door on some of the shipwrecks.

heights
going to sleep
-
Drowning.
Listened to "A Perfect Storm" on audio book while driving from Yuma, AZ to San Fran one time. It got to the part where it talked about them trapped inside the boat and detailing what happens to the body when it drowns.
I was hell and gone from any body of water and I smoked a whole pack while listening to that.
:eek:

Or a mean combination of the two. Fatty's mom when yer standing on her belly.
-
That would also be bad for those with fear of drowning and bad smells.
-
Not heights, I'll climb as high as you want. Once scaled Seneca Rock W Va without ropes even.(no not the toepath either)
Looking back at it was one of the dumber things Ive done
But
Jumping from a high place I wont do.

I don't like viscious dogs either.... not keen on most dogs. Spiders though don't bother me - at least any I have come across so far. :)

Interesting..
I never want to think im afraid of anything.
It shows a lack of control.
But sometimes its just natural to be afraid.
Like when someone jumps up behind you and yells.

running out of ammo before I run out of zombies.

Ahhh Control.
I once had your mindset
where you are now I once was and where I am now you one day shall be.
Being afraid doesnt show a lack of control. Fear is normal.
Where self control comes into play is how you deal with that fear.
Even Patton once said "Any man who tells you he is not afraid in combat is either a fool or a GD liar"
Being an 11 years and counting Cancer survivor I know what fear is all too well.
Among other things I learned about life during that experiance
That is also when I learned what true fear(read terror) was.
That was also when I learned that fear can be dealt with.
You can learn how to deal with it and not to let it overwhelm you.
Having gone through that experiance I've also learned there are very few things to actually fear. But the ones there are can be dealt with through self control.
And that is where true control lies

Public Speaking,
Hate doing it, but don't really fear it anymore. Do it often. Put yourself in situations where you have to speak publicly. Take courses on it. This demon is beatable.
You're probably an introvert (like myself). You probably won't ever like it. Just learn to deal with it. Quite often, I just go somewhere afterwards and sleep. Public speaking leaves me drained.

Flying with HiTech and not having control of the plane when his spinner flies off and knocks him out.

Heights !!!!
It came upon me suddenly. I had taken the family on vacation to Colorado and we drove to the "Great Gorge" ... a 1200 ft ravine.
At the "Great Gorge", they have a parking area and a loooooong concrete walkway that juts out over the ravine. I figured it would make for a great picture. The wind was blowing real hard so I suggested that the wife and kids stay in the car while I snapped the shot.
I got about 3/4 of the way out onto the walkway when something inside me freaked. I had absolutly no control over what happened next. In the blink of an eyey, my body threw itself to the ground and I found myself frozen in a prone position ... flat out on the concrete.
Took me a good minute at least to regain some control. To try and save face, I then willed myself, crawling on hand and knees ... VERY SLOWLY ... to the end of this walkway. I then grabbed each bar singley and slowly pulled myself up to a poistion so that I could get the shot.
Slowly I lowered myself back down onto my knees and crawled back to a point where my body would allow me to walk upright again. As I approached the car, I could see the whole family was laughing uncontrollably. My wife was laughing so hard she had tears running down her cheeks. 'Twas not a laughing matter to me. They then wanted to drive across to the other side. Yeah right ... a freaking wooded bridge across a 1200 ft ravine ... not gonna happen.
Since that day, if I see a similar type seen on TV or in a movie, the hair on the back of my neck stands straight up and a shiver runs through my nerves.
Never had the problem as a kid ... somewhere along the line, the "mortality" switched had been turned on..

Fear is state of mind.
Courage is state of mindless.
Think less to fear-less.

I do ocasionally have days when I get bothered by heights(maybe 5-10 days in the last 20 years). it's not really fear, but some days I get very uncomfortable and disoriented, it's not exactly an asset for a construction worker. if the situation allows I just tell the guys I'm working with that 'todays not my day', and I do groundwork for the day. the feeling usually passes after a couple of hours anyway.
if there is nobody else to do the high work I have a crutch that works pretty well. since I'm near sighted I can see fairly clearly anything within about 8ft, anything farther is just a blur(at least that's how it was before the accident, hopefully things will return to normal soon). so what I do is just remove my glasses for the time working off the ground. I see the work at hand, I see where I'm putting my feet, but since I can't focus on things going on at ground level, my mind can't seem to make the distance calculations that cause the problems.

I have rock climbed and sky dived..... yet I am afraid of heights.

I've been there and drove/walked across that bridge. It is a great view.
:aok

Never understood the thrill of jumping off of high places. Even high dives bother me. I was a high jumper in high school, but refused to pole vault. Didn't want to fall any further than I could jump up.
-
im deathly afraid of having my glasses fall in the toilet
-
Afraid of those creatures that live in empty mason jars on the top shelf beneath the stairs in the cellar, the big ones that entirely fill the jars so that their hairless bodies are stuffed right up against the inside of the glass - large lidless eyes.
-
Surprising how many people here have a fear of heights yet luv flight sims, count me in a wee bit.

I have lived near the ocean all my life, never had bad encounters myself with any sea life but I've seen a couple people get hit by stingrays and jellyfish.
The only time I have felt the 'impending doom' fear in the ocean is when I am caught inside and a huge set of waves starts coming in, and I know I am going to be in the impact zone. Having a bad take off and going 'over the falls' is also scary, but both of those are more like the feeling you get before any major impending collision.

I am fearless, it's terrible it gets me into trouble. I fear being fearless. thanks. this thread cured me.
