Anything that sets off my Vertigo - heights, stairways with lack of handrail or clear space between the steps.
Seaweed. I like eating it but when confronted by it in the ocean it scares the cr@p out of me.
Being beaten up when I've done nothing to deserve it. |
Me too. I hate clear staircases or stairs with gaps between them.
Weird eh? |

1. Heights- I get dizzy standing on a chair.
2. Spiders - This is not a good country to live in with this fear.
3. Being rejected by beautiful women - You think I would've outgrown this one by now? |

UGH! I saw the Nick Berg video on the internet and I wish I never had. I had nightmares for a couple of weeks over that one. I thought they lop off the head in one clean stroke. Boy! was I in for a shock with that one. |

God, I know- I shouldn't have watched that video, either. Seeing that kind of thing is deeply, deeply disturbing. I used to love gory horror movies, so I figured I'd be able to handle it. I had to stop watching and nearly threw up. Poor guy. Such a shame that humans can be so inhumane to innocent people. |

i'm actually a little scared of big dogs too, (is that fear #6) but maybe 'cause i've never had one. cats scatch now and then, sure...but dogs, they can kill ya.
i mean...i like dogs. i like all animals. but that story a few years back of the lady trying desperately to get her keys into her door in nyc, in some apt. bldg., as her neighbors dogs ripped her apart and killed her. that's scary.
i blame the owners. or maybe they were just some baaaddd dogs. but i still get a little nervous around some big dogs.
luckily for me, they're all bite sized and have dyed pink ears here in korea.
edit: you're a good dog, superfly.  |
I think those dogs were Presario Canarius dogs. They are supposedly the most dangerous breed of dog out there. That poor woman was only trying to get inside her apartment. Poor thing. |

That had me shuddering. (or is it shuttering?) |
Q: What's the worst thing about that?
Is it the claustrophobia,
or having your hands pinned down by your sides (can't brush away any creepies that want to crawl on your face),
or the darkenss?
Is it a death by suffocation, or do you imagine you'd have enough air to go crazy and then starve to death?
Just curious... |
Thanks. That didn't help. It all scares the crap out of me. Starving is no problem, but that last part was no good. I sometimes wondered if I was trapped (I'm all over the keyboard trying to type this - backspace backspace.) what would happen to me. I wonder if I would go so crazy I would pass out. Then I would wake up and go crazy again until I passed out again. This cycle might just repeat itself. Oh the horror!!! I think I've permanently eliminated Japan from my list of places to visit. It was waaaaayyy down on the list to begin with. The thot of being trapped for days lying on my back w/o being aeble to movde. AAaHYDHHHHHAH!!! |

I forgot which link I clicked on. For awhile I thot this was the anagram thread. I was trying to decipher diarrhea. Whoever decided that should be the spelling for 'diarrhea' needs to be shot. |

1. Death of family. I know, everyone fears that, but I lost my mom and grandmother (her mom) in the space of a month. Can't describe how much it sucked and how horrible it continues to be, as the anniversary draws near.
2. Something horrible and losing the Internet! No bittorrent (no more American TV shows), no email, no online messaging, no webcams! EEEEKKK!
3. The Human Genome Project and DNA manipulation. I'm all for the potential to save lives, cure diseases, and all the other benefits; just afraid of what the cabal would do with this technology.
4. Getting Alzheimer's or Cancer or MS or Parkinson's or ALS or something equally horrid.
5. Technology making my job obsolete.
6. The next Korean presidential election..... |

Snakes. But not in the way you think (OMG, that's a snake). Not the 'very thought of a snake'. Practically, matter-of-factly afraid of getting bitten by a poisonous snake and then having to somehow get to the antivenom at the hospital, hiking, limping, crawling out of the forest. Then somehow getting to the paved road from the dirt track and then to the hospital. I 'nearly got bitten' twice this year.
Once I was sitting down near a Korean hump tomb in a clearing on an otherwise forested mountainside and cracked a canned coffee. Idly looking left there, two meters away, was a coiled viper.
The next time was weird. I was walking off the trail, bushwhacking and for some reason did NOT put my foot down. Not for anything I saw but a feeling. And shifted weight to the rear leg while pulling the extended leg back and down and THERE, where my foot would have stepped, was a coiled viper. IF I had stepped on it there would have been a squirming. I would have lifted my foot. And in that millisecond would have been struck and venom injected. Both times they were young snakes. The younger the snake the more powerful its venom. And they can't control the release of it well, just give it all they've got.
Snake gaiters can be bought here for 12 bucks made of cordura nylon, reach up to the knee....So I've bought some.
Spiders? Couple of people say they're afraid of spiders. I bought a spider on Dave's here (buy and sell) eight months ago. Second largest in the world from Brazil. Outstretched it's the size of an outstretched adult hand.
lasiodora parahybana...or Salmon Pink Brazilian birdeating spider. It's horrible!!!!!!!!!
