What is your biggest fear? Or maybe most irrational fear?

for me, the one and only thing I am sacred of in the world is a shark...I mean they have so much power and they have you in the water, their element. Then half the time they don't even kill you, they just rip your leg off and ruin your life.

This will sound weird but I am afraid of sharp corners, particularly cabinet doors. For some weird reason I have this fear that I am going to die by tripping and hitting the corner. I constantly close every cabinet and drawer with drives my wife crazy while she is getting ready.

I am also afraid of birds or anything that flutters near my face. I freak out, more so than normal people.

Things you say right before getting attacked by a shark:

Quote from Gum

You are more likely to swallow a coin and die then to be killed by a shark.

Most of the things already written here except for the shark part but especially that part about losing my mind.

Also i have a fear of being in fear.. if that makes sense.. Which can easily spiral me to a panic attack.

Or maybe most irrational fear?

Snails. I can't even get close to one; whenever I see one, I circle around it. I know it's incredibly stupid, and I have no idea why, but I fear them terribly.

A friend once chased me with one on his hand, screaming that he was gonna throw it to me. I ran and yelled like a madman until he let it go. That's when I turned around and punched him hard on the face (and I'm like the calmest guy ever.) I just lose all control.

No more serious fears other than that one, besides the obvious survival fears.

Hights. God i hate hights. But not flying. Standing at a high place. I get pale and freeze every time i stand at a high place.

Idk what im really afraid of. I dont like snakes/spiders will freak out when I see one but thtats kinda idk I dont fear them I just dont like them.

The only fear that I have is the sound of the dental drill. I fucking hate that hellish whistle. And I have to face it soon when I go to get my wisdom teeth taken out.

I do not fear death or anything else. I don't want to die because I haven't experienced much during life yet. I am rather curious as to what it's truly like to die though.

Did you know that on a worldwide average, most people fear public speaking more than death? I wonder if that's a Snapple fact?

Lol if I'm dead then people wont tend to remark how horrible my public speaking was but if I speak in public and screw something up or anything say something stupid then well...People will be like "HEY LOOK AT THAT RETARD WHO SAID RETARDED THINGS!!!!"

I have a fear of heights. I think most people do, though. That's why a lot of people like roller coasters. Embracing that fear gives a sense of elation.

Besides that, there's:

1) Being mentally retarded and not knowing it because the disease affects my perception. I think about this on a regular basis.
2) Accomplishing nothing of value in life.

My biggest fear is being nibbled by a shark are some other kind of creature in the ocean.

I'm afraid of:

1) Seaweed
2) Diabetes
3) The dark. I can't sleep without the radio on because I'm afraid I'll hear whispers or shit. I know my house is haunted.
4) Republicans
5) Not being able to graduate
6) Dying alone
7) What Magistrate said about being mentally retarded and not knowing it
8) Not being able to find a job
9) Broken glass
10) The Butcher
11) Your mom

(Okay, the last two are obviously just me being a bullshitter)

Quote from Gum

I am absolutly terrified that my potential future children will be mentally handicaped or disfigured.

Completely forgot about that! There hasn't been such an incident in my family yet but i'm still afraid of it.

Quote from FingolfinGR

Hights. God i hate hights. But not flying. Standing at a high place. I get pale and freeze every time i stand at a high place.

I kind of like that feeling. Like your tummy gets all tingly and stuff.

Have you ever heard of seaweed sally?...oh probably shouldn't have said that.

My worst fears aren't even always the same as all my horrible compulsive thoughts. But I fear traffic jams a lot. I get panic attacks in them. Or I fear any situation that would be difficult to escape from. Like in classrooms I must sit right next to the exit.

i'll say i have the most common fear, but to more of an extreme

Fear of public speaking, im pretty uncomfortable talking to anyone new, it typically takes like 7+ times meeting the person to kinda warm up to them and not be incredibly quiet or awkward. I wont order pizza off the phone i worry about all the questions. And i wont go through the drive-thru, i always walk in (yet im ok ordering in person... haha)

My fear of seaweed is actually just from being a little kid and imagining things. When I was like 9 or 10, my family and I went to this campground that we always went to and, at that campground, there's this lake. Well, if you're standing on one of the sides of the beach, there's a heavily wooded island about 200 feet away, so I would swim to it. By then, I was always afraid of stuff that I couldn't see (I should've put that in my initial list), but not on a paranoid level.

Long story short; deep water, big seaweed, brushed my feet all the time and it always freaked me out because it was smooth and slimy and it just freaked me the fuck out.

Incredibly irrational? Yes. Incredibly justified? Yes.

Quote from nadenitza

not meaning to act like a tough sunofabitch, but i don't think i fear anything at all!

By all means, act like one.

My fear is also something I love: Money.
