What's Your Greatest Fear?

[htirwin]

I'm afraid of people knowing that I'm afraid of stuff. It took a lot of courage just to make this post.

Clever wordplay.

@htirwin
Part of me read that and yelled (in my head) "PUSSY!"
then I laughed because I thought it was funny.
Then quickly felt appalled because I thought it was funny.

Good for you though, man. Step out of the comfort zone!

Mine are heights and god..I'm also really sensitive to injecktions/needles ... darkness comes around me...and I go pale...and dizzy so to help me I have to lie down on a bed..and keep my feet up

1. heights: Still get butterflies in my stomach while on a plane
2. Afraid of speaking in front of a group. Trying hard to overcome it. (Notice ironically this doesn't amount to posting in a forum where so many people can read).

Well speaking in public is normally the fear of having all those eyes looking at you. I never had that fear, I just talked fast because I usually didn't care about the subject and just wanted to get it over with (I really hated when they asked questions on the subject because they figure out quick I don't care as I usually gave answers that showed I didn't bother researching it thoroughly).

That's good. Nobody should be afraid of a Louisville Slugger.

How about the fears you have heard that made you laugh. I remember they had a show a few years back about fears. They had fear of: clowns, pickles, tin foil, bugs, handicapped persons, germs, hair, even light.

I'm afraid of losing someone I love.

I don't understand why I'm scared of moths n' stuff. They aren't harmful, they're just there.

What's the difference between being scared and freaked out?

handicapped persons

wtf

If it exists, there is a phobia for it. Some people fear them, but almost everyone is uncomfortable around them. Like I said, there was a show were a guy and woman had fears of anyone with an obvious handicap (limping, limb deformation, wheel chairs). Then there was a talk show my wife watches where a woman was uncomfortable around anyone in a wheelchair. A comedic actor was paid to act like he had to be in a chair and the woman wouldn't look at him at all, but once he stood up she had no problem looking at him and talking to him. I remember her even saying, they weren't people and she could never marry a person like that.

I obviously don't have that fear or uncomfortable issue.

[N36fSL3A]

That's seriously messed up. Just because you physically are deformed you aren't a person?

Once again, wtf.

[BHX]

In some countries if you have deformities you are killed at birth. In America's past if you had deformities you were put in a mental institute by the parents.

And sterilized to prevent reproduction.

Fear of anything that is even slightly different is not a matter of laugh. It has inspired everything from discrimination to outright genocide.

[N36fSL3A]

Yea, I don't wanna ever go sterile.
