Some are afraid of the Dark. Some are afraid of Insects. Some may be afraid of Hieghts, while YOU may be afraid of BUTTONS.


   Our fears come in all shapes and sizes. They are all different. Starting as a little girl I've always been afraid of The End Of The World & Demonds/Ghosts. I don't know if it's the unknown or my religious beliefs in Heaven & Hell, but whatever it is, It's possibly my strongest Fear. It can keep me up all night, and can keep me from living life, MY life, free of guilt. And I hate it, while I am still learning how to be rid of the curse.


As scary as it may be to have to think about it, let alone TYPE it...


                                                                                                 What are YOU afraid of?


                                                                                                                            Creepy hugh? ...

Lizards!!!! or for that matter any form of reptiles,the mere thought of them gives me the creeps. I am totally scared of them..


Re-enlightenment is in the realization of the fact that we have only the present moment to live.

Roaches. Just thinking about one makes me nauseous.

I hate bugs except lady bugs and the praying mantis. I get goosebumps just thinking about bugs.

I fantastically enjoy bugs, lizards, spiders (especially big ones), snakes, the moon and most of all, night time.


And so it remains that my biggest fear is ‘fear of failure’. I don’t mind being wrong (I would rather be right) or having to work very hard to achieve, but failure leaves me craving for more. Ugh.

The idea of being kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered.  There are times when I'm in the shower (home alone) and the slightest noise will cause me to get out of the shower and make sure the doors are locked (despite the fact that I may have checked them 10 times before getting in the shower)!  I get so terrified that someday that horrible fear may come to pass.  I hate roaches too but I don't know if I afraid of them per se'.

 I was baffled by a fear I had until I saw on Jeopardy that there's actually a name for it - megalaphobia (the fear of big things)!  Then later my little sister told me she has it too.  


Although I fly regularly, I am afraid of looking out from an airport window and seeing an entire jet (especially those honkin' 747s) all within the frame of my vision.  And although I wouldn't think twice about boarding one, I'm also scared to death of being just outside of a ship - the sight of it makes me shake inside.  Finally, even though I'll swim in it, I'm afraid of the open ocean because of the size of the some the things that are in there!  I believe I may have met my demise in a former life in a way somehow involving something BIG.

Me too, that and heights.  Husby works nights sometimes and for some dumb reason I like watching things like Ghost Hunters.  I have also been stalked a few times so that is not helping my 'fear' at all, and the neighbor upstairs is down right CREEPY....
