Title: Worst fears
Post by: bzek74 on February 07, 2007, 09:11:28 AM
I was thinking today everyone has that one fear that makes thier hair stand up. When I was a kid I saw jaws and when I was 10 I witnessed a shark attack hence a fear of sharks.

Whats yours?

Fear of public speaking.  So I try to get up in front of crowds every time I get a chance.  Still hasn't alleviated the problem.

I was an exterminator for 5 years.  I can tell you some cockroach stories.  I once did a roach cleanout and they were raining out of a suspended ceiling onto me.  I untucked my shirt because I didn't want them in my pants:lol

I fear losing one of my children.

I have a strange fear of heights. On top of a building or suspended by cable on a ski lift or at an amusement park, these give me the willy's and make my feet hurt.

I have no fear of flying in a helocopter with the doors off and the seatbelt loosened so I can sit sideways and shoot photos, a bodyharness is mandatory for me these days though. Spent a lot of time in small a/c both rotary and fixed and was comfortable at all times, but buildings, cliffs, tall ski lifts and amusement park cable cars I pass on nowdays.

The political answer would be if both Bush and Cheney died and Palosi was made President.

The real answer would be an owl snatching my little dog when I let him out to pee at night.

Sounds like the same fears I have and in the same order. I would add arachnids, centipedes, and other nasty bugs to it.

Nooo... wrong on both counts.    "most" of the people here.... or anywhere... have not been in enough fear inducing situations to be able to judge which would cause them the greatest fear.

They are capable of saying what seems like the worst to them right now.   I am saying that no matter what you think is the "worst" fear... a better one can be found.

Going on an african safari, not that it will ever happen.... but anyway, going on an african safari, and being captured and eaten alive by some primitive african tribe.  
And as they're eating the flesh from my bones, hearing one say to his buddy, "click click, whistle whistle, snap snap." which would roughly translate in english to -tastes like chicken-.

I have a similar one....going on a canoe trip and being captured by a bunch of toothless inbred hicks.  Whistle whistle click click snap snap sounds they make translate to "I'm white trash and enjoy homosexual activity, particularly with relatives."

Hardly Lazs.  Most people are afraid of Lions and Alligators, mainly because they can dominate us if they choose to.  But that's not the point of the thread.


The point of the thread is Unreasonable Fear.  It is unreasonable to be afraid of heights, in which there is little probability of you ever falling.  Or in my case, it is unreasonable to be afraid of public speaking.  Nothing bad could come to me if I speak in public, but why does it affect me so badly?

I have a fear of hights in that when im on top of a building looking down i get vertigo...not real bad but i still get it.
However the odd part is that I love to fly and skydive. actually jumping out of a perfectly good A/C and floating to the ground suspended under a thin layer of silk doesnt bother me at all, in fact I love the experince.
the dorway and that first jump kinda unnerves me but not like being ontop of a tall building looking down over the edge..i cant do it but for a minute. And if i look up, i get really dizzy. i dont understand that one at all but looking straight up from atop a tall structure gets me all off ballance and dizzy feeling with a healthy dose of vertigo thrown in

"Whistle whistle click click snap snap." while i've seen discovery channel specials where real tribes sound like that, i've never heard a hick that sounded like that.

More like. "I reckon iz gonna make you my dinna boy. And you sho do has a purty mouth."

...come on man, get it right.

laser...  I think you are the one who is wrong..  I did not see the words "ureasonable fears" until you said em.

The guy who started the thread talked about sharks...  That seems pretty reasonable to me.

88..  I am scared by most of the things that everyone else is..  I also realize that at some point you just can't get any more scared...  the trick is to still function.

I'm sorry, I thought the unreasonable thing was understood.


The chance of being bitten, much less killed by a shark is less then dieing in a car crash.  Unreasonable?  Maybe.
