Title: What are you AFRAID of?
Post by: RCMerchant on June 10, 2018, 01:54:40 AM
I'm afraid of ghosts. I don't really believe in ghosts. But I had enough 'ghost' experiances as a child to know they scare me.  :bluesad:
I don't like hanging out with the dead. It creeps me out. I seen s**t.

Scared of driving.  Never liked it.  Way too damn many crazy drivers out there.  Too much traffic, too many weird intersections.  People honk too much, people are in too much of a hurry, etc.  And when I walk I have to make EXTRA sure drivers don't have their head up their @$$.  People ignore stop signs and crosswalks and don't use their turn signal!  F***ing idiots!

I've kind of gotten over my fear of being around a lot of people.  Or people that kind of get in my face.  I think it's because I've gotten older and don't care what people think when I get back at them.

Scared of doing any leisure activity with people I don't know-- dancing, sports, etc.  No thanks!

You seem very- I don't want to call it anti-social...but that seems like the word that fits.
Don't feel bad! I only hang out with folks I know too. I think everybody does.
I am very anti-social,myself. Other wise it seems distrurbing.
BUT! That's why we're here :bluesad:
Aint it?

When I first got married for months I would have bad dreams where Kristi would get some sort of terminal illness, something I could do nothing about. I guess that is my biggest fear, not being able to do something for one of my loved ones.

Oh and airplanes taking off. For some reason when I am onboard one I am convinced a wing will fall off on take off. No idea why I have that one, but there you go.

Very few things actually scare me, but I hate RATS to the point that I am a little bit afraid of them.
Snakes I love, great big hairy tarantulas I will catch and play with, but rats are just disgusting and creepy!!  :buggedout: :buggedout: :buggedout:

Crawlies/bugs in general but spiders in particular.

I've always been an insect/arachnid-lover throughout my life and have never really been afraid of them, but due to some bad experiences with wasps as a kid, I've developed a fear for those in particular. I'm fine watching them from a good distance, but if they get anywhere near me, I just freeze up or try to get away as soon as safely possible. I really hate yellow jackets because they always circle my face whenever I eat outside.... Ugh....

I also have a few other fears that aren't exactly phobic, such as dangerous people (in a city or even just walking around the neighborhood), dementia (in me or my loved ones), and I'm especially afraid of my loved ones getting hurt or being in danger. That's about it for me.

That's accurate-- I AM antisocial.  It's probably kept me alive this long.
A live hornet/wasp nest can give me the jitters.  Those Raid foam sprays are a godsend!

I love bugs. Even wasps. I won't think twice about killing a wasp, but if I can shoo it out of the house without killing it, I will.
I like ants. So smart. And spiders. They eat flys. I don't like flys.

Beyond ghosts, I'm not afraid of anything. Not even for my family, but I worry within reason.
I was afraid for my brother Richie when he was alive. I was scared after he died too. And Tara Sue when she died. I ain't scared of my own death, but when people I love die it freaks me out.

The day my brother died, my older sister took our sister-in-law home.  I volunteered to stay with my brother David.  I sat alone and read a newspaper that someone had left there.  I read a couple of the stories aloud to my brother.  I chuckled at stories I knew he'd have found amusing.  I left after an hour or so.  I think I kissed him goodbye. 

I learned about 25 years after our father died, that I was the last one of my family to see daddy alive in the hospital.  Though my mother and brothers and sisters were all there the day of his funeral, I was the only one in my family who felt the need to at least witness that it was him and he was dead.  My brother-in-law put his arm around me and said "I'll go in with you".  I love him. 

Some of my fondest memories are of hanging out in cemeteries with friends...

I'll kill flies, fleas, roaches, and those meaty things with legs (I'm afraid of those things).  I'm afraid of spiders, but I won't kill them, and if they're really big in the house, they'll get trapped and tossed out of doors.  I'm afraid of having to kill mice or rats.  I've done it.  The more sophisticated the creature is, the more reluctant I am to inflict pain.  Unless it's flies, fleas, roaches and them crawly things...

Oh yeah, that's a house centipede. Don't get them too often in my house, but I personally find them kinda cute (although, my definition of "cute" is a bit strange compared to most people's). They are fast as heck though, and they can bite, so I can see why they could cause some problems.

That reminds me of that America's Funniest Home Videos episode where someone is swatting wasps or bees out of the air.

Bob Saget: "Got you, got you and I guess I got all of you."
Wasp: "Not quite, Lumpy."
BS: "I'm not Lumpy."
Wasp: "You're gonna be: get him, guys!"  :teddyr: :teddyr:

I'm going to sound like a total p***y but the Barnacles from the Half-Life series have permanently scarred me.
I know they don't exist but I find myself looking up randomly.

Yeah, those things are both terrifying and annoying. They'd always be ready to get me in a dark corner while several other things such as Vortigaunts and Marines were shooting at me. Glad real barnacles aren't like that, hehe.

I haven't played much of HL1. The only reason I know what the entire game looks like is because of Freeman's Mind by Ross Scott.
Barnacles in HL1 are scary but the one's in HL2 are more detailed and horrifying IMO.

I'm not afraid of death, but I am afraid of the prolonged suffering that often preceeds it. I've watched too many family members die of cancer. Not for me.

i may have phrased that badly. i'm not afraid of the dying myself part, it's fear for my husband's wellbeing after i'm gone. if that makes any sense.

What frightens me? Others being held accountable for things I've done.

You understand that, don't you?

I wish I knew if you were seeing these, and I wish I could hear from you before tomorrow. Even a 12. Maybe you're long gone, maybe unlike me you've been told to shut up ahead of this, but I still wish I knew how you were, and how it was going for you. I can't figure out if I'm on a long leash or if this is really it, just how it seems, and if I keep getting that lucky over and over again like I did in 2014, why?

I'll just say this openly, I hope you're well.

Stay strong and remember who you are and what you were part of: DFW. We were right, and don't forget that. And don't ever become the weak link.

One way or the other at some point it'll be OK.

Probably I'm just prattling to myself here, or to these people, but on the off chance you are still around to see this, you're in my thoughts, prayers, even, and please keep me in yours tomorrow and always.

Assuming you ever see this, which some spark of optimism in me makes me feel you will. Ha. And if not, then whatever.

Well, in either case, good luck, so long and thanks for all the fish.

But do it on your own thread.  :lookingup:

When I earlier said I like bugs- I do...except cockroaches and bedbugs. I lived with both in abundance at one time in my life or another. THEY give me the willies! Maggots too! And house flies!
