I think that forums are a great place to discuss such things, since you are pretty much anonomous here and need not fear being ostracized. The thread about diversity of topics got me thinking. I'm sure it's been done many times before, but hopefully not lately.

My fear?
Being alone forever. It's bad enough being alone for a short time.
I've had enough experience with that.

Wow, do I have enough neurosis kicking around in my head or what?

Er, ya, except that I know people on this site that scan these forums pretty often.

Dying young, I guess. I hate how quickly my life is moving!

That everyone I care about might be disappointed in me.

The new sig is to long . I'd better edit before someone does it for me.

I'm with you on that one, I think its pretty universal

Werewolves, even though I don't believe that they are even possible, much less exist. Even so, if a dog barks during a full moon I'm likely to jump out of my skin.

Smartass.

I think of a couple of methods used by the Soviet Union as the worst...One, being pushed into a box so constricting that you pass out & regain consciousness (sic) over & over. The other is electricution via the gonads...no one wants that!

You never know, someone might.
More importantly, I know a couple of someones who need it.

wait, I don't get the box one--so they stuff you into a box too tiny for you to breathe? If that's so, how do you regain consciousness?

Sorry, this is probably horribly obvious, but it's too late.

Ya...I think it is a matter of opening & closing the lid on the box. Come to think of it, I can think of people that gonad electrocution would work for...

One time I ate 9 gelcaps, I was so freaked out. I was actually forgetting that I was a person. I could not tell if my eyes were open or closed and I had no body. It was a really horrifying experience. Eventually after about 5 hours of straining to remain human (cant really explain it better) I was able to get up and I just kept kicking this rubber ball back and forth to my brother, I think the action of kicking the ball gave me a physical link mind to body. I felt like If I let my mind drift away it would never come back, quite a self imposed struggle, it seemed like life or death. Anyway that was one of my most horrific moments in life. By the way I do not use or condone drugs anymore.

I'm just terrified that some people would actually enjoy that sort of thing.
S&M is well and good, but that is just creepy.

Yeah, drugs can be pretty scary. PCP is utterly terrifying sometimes.
I'm glad I'm clean now.

I tried suicide when I was seventeen by taking a whole bottle of aspirin. Very painful. Not recommended.

It was lsd, way too much

I'm new to this...how does one start a thread? I'd like to discuss travel. Anyhow, in the spirit of the subject: the Apache of SW,US were reported to make a 2" cut in the belly and pull the tied up victims intestine out and allow dogs, coyotes & birds feed upon it...as the victim watched. Pretty grizzly.

My sister in law did the same thing, thankfully sha was ok too, shes doing fine
she was also 17 at the time

Oh, Goddess above!
Suicide by hepatoxicity is excruciating, or so I've heard. I'm glad I stuck with the wrist-slashing instead of anything more seriously dangerous.
I'm glad you survived to tell the tale. I'd bet that was a harrowing experience.

The Vikings had a habit of cutting open your ribs extracting them while your still alive then going for the lungs called carving the eagle me thinks.
Rather Grizzly.
Could put someone in a cage with a rabid Honey Badger they go straight for the testes.

I thought that deep dark fear=worst way to die. My mistake, deep dark fear is about scary realizations, huh? Allright, one of the worst...My Mother hates me. Her husband has convinced her that I am (literally) the DEVIL. Insane, but this is the current 'freak show' in my family. :headbang:

:mad: Not only are there a hundred different BAD ways to die in fear...certainly, there are a thousand ways to live in fear. Bullshit piles itself high, best to walk away...and avoid aspirin & knives. So what about electric gonads? I'd like to see the 'handler' that convinces young men & women to become suicide bombers get zapped...not condoning torture, mind you!

If ever there were a case for zapping they would be the ones, or any other person who hurts a child.

Zombies. I kid you not. Zombies.

Zombies. I kid you not. Zombies.
:eek:
The kind that eat your brains?
I fucking hate them. I always run out of shotgun ammo at the most inopportune times...
Then I have to resort to pulling out a baseball bat or something.

Smokers.
I mean, if they are willing to do THAT to themselves, what do you think they'd be willing to do to you?

I probably don't taste good, I have a high burning point, and I bet I'm full of carcinogens.
HA! I'll kill them with my cancer-causing powers as a final revenge!

I had this recurring dream where I would be told the world is going to end in 5 seconds, and that I could do nothing about it, and then I would wake up. Very freaky stuff.

Then, when my son was in the hospitol just after his birth, and I was going on like 4 days with only like 2 hours of sleep, and nothing to eat except for some food from the vending machine, I had a dream where some how he got trapped inside me. Couldn't explain it and I freaked out and the nurse made me sit down, checked my blood pressure, and made me do a drug test to make sure I hadn't done some drugs

Then, the other night after being on the computer WAY too late, I had a dream where I erased myself from history and was waiting to disappear.

So I guess what my biggest fear is, my subconscious playing pranks on me.

Looseing my mind.

the dark... alien abduction... and people.

I didn't have any deep dark fears until reading this. I was planning on going to Shetland next month, but fuck that I'm heading as far away from the North/Norse as I can.

Drowning.

Drowning.
I've always thought drowning would be a decent death...
If it weren't for the "Not being able to breathe" bit.
Meh, I'm more one for oxygen displacement, I think. I wouldn't know, as I haven't died.

It's not just the drowning itself though, the thought of something as vast and open as the ocean is terrifying to me. Large volumes of water, etc.

Claustrophobic.

I'm already maybe 5'5 and being cooped up and unable to move is something that distresses me.

What is your deepest darkest fear?That religious fundamentalism rises even further. And in fact christian fundamentalism (veiled in benevolence) scares me far more than any other. When I read how even in this forum extreme christians are propagating their medieval views I get a headache. My personal hatred is that of stupid and uneducated people, and christians trying to live off the Bible while they do not really understand a single word of it are the prototype for stupidity.

That religious fundamentalism rises even further. And in fact christian fundamentalism (veiled in benevolence) scares me far more than any other.

That really scares you alot? Wow.. weird. Lol.


----------------------------------------------

Hmm. I don't fear death per se. Inevitable. If I would die, I wouldn't be scared, rather more regret, that I didn't live my life to the fullest.

I think my deepest darkest fear is watching my loved ones die, especially right in front of my eyes, tragicly.

A close friend had witnessed such a event, he was driving a car full of friends, and the other car in front of him with another car full of friends was suddenly mowed down by a drunk driver driving a trailer. In a split second, he lost 4 friends.

I'm scared of people asking me what my fears are. Thanks a lot :eek:

I'm scared of people asking me what my fears are. Thanks a lot :eek:
I'm scared of being scared. Darn, I'm scared. Oh no, I'm scared of that too! And of that!

What if I get scared of that? Eep, how scary!

:D


EDIT:
See, we'd have a problem if the only thing we had to fear was fear itself.

I think fear is a normal instict.

But too much fear can drive a person paranoid then insane.

People think I'm kidding but I'm not. My greatest fear was John Kerry getting elected. I've at least been able to sleep for the last two months since the election.

My fear?
Being alone forever.
Same here.

I'm afraid of the dark. Especially when I go to sleep. I have the weird habit of reading H.P. Lovecraft at bedtime wich often has such a profound effect on me that I'm afraid of seeing my bedroom so I either turn my face towards the wall or try as I can to keep my eyes shut.
I also get the unnerving feeling that there is "something" under my bed, which sucks if I need to go to the bathroom or when I get thirsty. It's also kind of embarasing considering I'm twenty years old.
I think this fear began after seeing an X-Files eppisodes where Mulder and Scully were chaising some invisible monsters. In the end Scully went into a room to get something and then got back out without anything else happening. Then the camera went under the bed revealing one of the creatures under it. It freaked me out. Does anybody know which episode it was?

Seriously, my big fear is drowning. Capsized a kayak once, didn't like the feeling of being unable to breathe.

Oh, Goddess above. I once had that bad habit. Do you know how much weirder Lovecraft is when you're sleep-deprived?

I hear you. Re-reading Mountains of Madness and the Case of Charles Dexter Ward for bed-time reading right now.

I don't fear the Mythos, though. Resistance is futile - Instead I'm thinking about writing my own addition to it, a novel or novellette.

That people will never awaken from the destructiveness inherent within monotheistic cultures and as weapon technology evolves the world will fall into the grasp of a cruel theistic dictatorship or life will be eliminated entirely by a "religious righteousness" that is incapable of acceptance of other cultures.

Only in atheism is there truly peace.

I fear another, but much worse 9/11 esque attack in the world

Why 2011?

Why 2011?
Gut feeling.

I would have to say failing someone (or at something) I really care about. ... I really don't have much else to worry about right now :)

Death.

Death.
That is something we ALL can relate to :)

I don't fear death... It's strange but death doesn't really affect me. Close people die and I feel nothing. I'm not trying to be some gothic or anything, that's just how I am. I do fear 2 things though: Zombies and failure (Though you could say being a zombie is failing in life ;)

Death.

Why is death scary? Upon your death, one of two things will happen to you.


You exist.. or
You cease to exist


If you exist, you exist wihtout a physical body or physical senses so there is nothing to truly fear.

If you don't exist, then you wont be around to feel anything or even contemplate not feeling anything.

In addition, those who believe that they dont exist after death place far more value upon life than those who believe that some part of them goes on after death.

No! We're good now! I promise!
*hides axe*

My biggest fear is that Al Qaeda will buy unsecured Russian nukes and smuggle them into the US and the EU.

2nd on the list is that Bush actualy believes his own bullshit.

I think that forums are a great place to discuss such things, since you are pretty much anonomous here and need not fear being ostracized. The thread about diversity of topics got me thinking. I'm sure it's been done many times before, but hopefully not lately.

abandonment.

Being thrown into a pit of vipers. Although it probably will never happen I can't think of anything I fear more.

Global Warming...the world turning into half incredibly hot desert and half Next Ice Age. Although I probably won't be alive to see it, I'm scared that I will be...

Also, World or Nuclear War.

Sock Monkeys

Another Ice Age is going to happen. It is part of the glacial-pluvial cycle of the earth. Don't worry; you will not be around to see it. War however is a very real possibility. :(

I actually can't wait until the next Ice Age! :D
*smug smug!*

Marxism

my greatest fear is the barking of big dogs. everytime i hear one i just fall into a fetal position or cling onto whoever i'm with. but what's weird is i'm not afraid of dogs (as long as they don't bark).

my worst fear scenario would be to walk along a corridor w/ dogs in cages just barking at me.

Meh, I can't say I'm afraid of death, but I am afraid the people close to be might die.

My deepest fear is pain, and old age... and loneliness-- that the ones I care about would die.

I plan to live forever, so If you ever get lonely, I'd always be there :D

(If you're willing, that is ;) )

EDIT: And yes, growing old also tends to get at me.

"What is your deepest darkest fear?

Being alone. Not just alone in the normal sense of the word but truly, completly and forever alone.

Zombies.

death, or actually, not existing and being unable to see whats going on...I guess I can't seperate myself from the reality around. therefore, existentialism and other similar philosophies freak me out, and yet, I'm an aetheist

also, call me crazy as i love swimming and the ocean, but being deep water that is not translucent scares me. As long as the water is clear (ie. ocean not lake) I won't be afraid

I think I'm also afraid of loving someone so much that i lose all sense of reason and morality

I think I'm also afraid of loving someone so much that i lose all sense of reason and morality

I've done this before. It's actualy quite scary after you come to your senses and think "Wow, what have I gone and done?" It's especialy bad when the person you love knows this fact, and uses it to his/her advantage.

yes, and in a greater sense too: I see it now in other people who can't- they are so devoted to the united states that they follow its leaders blindly...their good intentions are being exploited

Aaah, jingoism.

I think that forums are a great place to discuss such things, since you are pretty much anonomous here and need not fear being ostracized. The thread about diversity of topics got me thinking. I'm sure it's been done many times before, but hopefully not lately.

After all I've been through, I have very few "fears" left. Those few I do have:

1. That some tragedy may befall my family, or members thereof.

2. That I will get Alzheimer's, or something similar.

3. That I will die alone and forgotten.

Fortunately, it seems that none of these is likely. :)

I gotta say it. Bitchkitten, I love your name. :D

Zombies.

Yeah, he is pretty cool isn't he.

I gotta say it. Bitchkitten, I love your name. :D

"Bitchkitten!" God! [ major eyeroll ] :D

being unable to sleep...

like im about to go do now at 2:36 am...

good thing theres no school tomorrow

I gotta say it. Bitchkitten, I love your name. :D

Thank you. :fluffle:

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

- Nelson Mandela.

Zombies. I kid you not. Zombies.
Zombies are a very sad case. Many famous cases in Haiti. http://groups.msn.com/TheAlchemistsCorner/thezombiepoison.msnw

Oh Lord... where to begin...

I. there being a shambling semi-humanoid being under my bed. Feeling it thumping against the bottom of the bed as it tries to crawl out from under it, then seeing it's long, skinless fingers scrabbling at the wooden edges. And then jumping out of bed and running to the door of my room, and turning around to see it coming out - all pale and skeletal with empty, bloody eyesockets and fang-ed grin. Oh yes, and running into my parents room and finding another shambling being gorging itself on their blood.

II. Blood dripping on my forehead in the dark. Not like, *lots* of blood. Just individual drops. And then, once I get the light on, there not being any source of the blood. *shudders*. Or a spider lowering itself onto my forehead in the dark.

III. something appearing when I blink my eyes. One of the worst is a body hanging from the light fixture in my room. If I think about *that* before I go to sleep, I can practically hear the rope creaking in the darkness. If I keep my eyes shut for any length of time longer than a blink, my heart rate goes up and I get all adrenalin-y. Some of the other 'mysteriously appearing things' include severed heads and eviscerated bodies.

IV. Some psycho with a very very large knife pushing open the window next to my bed and trying to climb into my room in the wee hours of the morning.

V. Fire.

And these are just the things I came up with while freaking myself out last night. Given a few more nights I could probably think up enough things to ensure my inability to sleep ever again.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to nail my windows shut and buy a large, large amount of coffee beans.

Did you stay up for 60 hours on end? ;)

Spiders.

Enough said.

I can honestly say that I'm not afraid of too many things, but there are a couple really big ones that I can mention.

i. My greatest fear is that of losing the love of my life, I found her, and I'll never let her go

ii. Suffocation by any means. Be it by smothering, drowning, or simple lack of oxygen in the air I happen to be breathing, suffocation scares me a lot

iii. Panic. Namely this is the cause of my claustrophobia, I don't fear small spaces really, I fear people around me panicing in small spaces

As for phobias, I have a couple, but I don't list them as fears because I can get past them, they just cause me a quick burst of anxiety that I find uncomfortable.

i. Snakes - They creep me out a little, but I've been known to snake-sit for people, something about having no discernable body parts just gets me in the gut.

ii. Heights - I get vertigo really easily. I'll climb ladders and get up on roofs, but I better not be able to see the ground at all.

That's about it. Now I feel really exposed because I just gave away ALL my weaknesses. DAMN!

Did you stay up for 60 hours on end? ;)

Nope, I just stayed up until 6am (so that I didn't have to go to sleep in the dark).

And, for the record, it was 80 hours, and had more to do with the huge amount of art stuff I was trying to get done, rather than random night terrors.

:p

Dark places, heights, and being alone.
I sleep with the lights on, and I won't go into movie theaters unless there is people in them. In fact I won't go into any building unless someone else is in there too. And heights make me feel like I'm going to fall. I always lose my balance. And the only way I can sleep with the lights off, is if someone is in the same room as me.

The Vikings called that the blood eagle. Nice folks.
Thanks that sounds right St Edmund got it for his troubles.

O.O
I'm not sure whether to resent that implication or just let that drop in the spirit of goodwill...

Your choice.

BTW, I made an announcement in the Axis of evil thread. You might wanna take a look...

being burried alive, really deep under the earth in a coffin just big enough for me, with airsupply, slowly going mad from fear and claustrophobia... try to imagine complete silence and darkness for three days before you die from thirst... ngghhh... now I must have a stiff drink to calm myself...

Not dying alone.
I hope that by the time I die I don't have any people who care about me, I wouldn't want to put anyone through the pain of losing someone.

being burried alive, really deep under the earth in a coffin just big enough for me, with airsupply, slowly going mad from fear and claustrophobia... try to imagine complete silence and darkness for three days before you die from thirst... ngghhh... now I must have a stiff drink to calm myself...
that's your biggest fear? What have you done that you fear anything like that would happen?

Oooooh, the claustrophobia person reminded me of one of the night terrors I was forgetting!

Being kidnapped, placed in a room with someone I really care about tied to a chair. And then being given 3 hours to shoot and kill them or we both get locked in and will starve to death. And then I'd naturally take the bullet out of the gun and destroy it, being the weak fool that I am. And then the time runs out, the lights go out and we're just left there.

And then eventually they go insane and start trying to eat me due to... insanity. And hunger, I guess (there'd be water in the room to ensure we survive to this point).

And so then I'd be stuck in the dark with a crazy person throwing themselves against the chains binding them to their chair. And knowing that if they get out they'd kill me. So I'd have to find the gun and then kill them with that - no bullet, of course, so I'd just have to use it as a good old blunt weapon.

And having to kill someone I care about would drive me insane, so I'd probably end up eating them and then dying of starvation.

What FUN things my sub-conscious comes up with. I really must remember to send it a thank-you bomb.

Sorry about the random tense shifts... I went to sleep at 6am, because of all the terror and the waiting-until-sunrise-to-sleep and all. Spelling errors are due to spellcheck.net being an BASTARD and refusing to work. Rrrrr.

I'm always afraid someone I love or myself is gong to be killed in a car accident. Freaks me out if someone is 5 seconds late cause then my imagination kicks into overdrive.

Also that someone is going to break in my house and stab me like 47 times. I'm a light sleeper which sometimes means no sleep at all. I hear every noise in the house. I open my eyes and look at the bedroom door probably 1000 times before actually dozing off, in case I see someone in a ski mask heading toward my bed. I think I watch the evening news too much.

I'm afraid of the evil monkey thatlives in my closet.....

But seriously...i am afraid of failure, and of being rejected by everyone i care about....and a little scared of female american gladiators....

The second one doesn't bother me, since I know it would either be very quick for me, or they would be the ones to die. But the first one is kinda like me worrying about my family a bit, especially when they're late and there's been a snow or ice storm, or I've heard an ambulance.

You must have inherited this from me! ;)

Wow! You sure have some detailed and specific fears! Heh!

Why is death scary? Upon your death, one of two things will happen to you.


You exist.. or
You cease to exist


If you exist, you exist wihtout a physical body or physical senses so there is nothing to truly fear.

If you don't exist, then you wont be around to feel anything or even contemplate not feeling anything.

In addition, those who believe that they dont exist after death place far more value upon life than those who believe that some part of them goes on after death.

I'd rather burn in the fiery pits of hell for all eternity than cease to exist. Bad thing I'm an atheist, eh? Lol. I don't know, just not existing really really scares me. It's like it would not only cause me to stop living but to undo my entire life. No memories, no feelings, nothign. It makes everything feel worthless.

I'm afraid of the evil monkey thatlives in my closet.....


"The sad thing is...he wasn't always evil."

My biggest fear? That the people I love will die. It’s fairly unlikely that I’ll ever be buried alive, or that a shadow person will appear from my closet, or that I’ll ever be abducted by aliens...by my family dying isn’t just likely, it’s inevitable. I KNOW that they are going to die one day, and to me that makes it far scarier than anything that my imagination could come up with.

My greatest fear is another world war.It looks like it's closer and closer.A war with unconventional rules where we wold fight against fanatic terrorists that don't give a damn about life.Bombings and stuff like that happening on a weekly basis or even more often is realy scary to me.Imagine everything you know standing in rubble with collapsed buildings all around the place, all around the world.


I'm also a little scared of heights.Strange thing cause I love flying.I only fear heights in open places(moutin peeks, building tops).I get a sick feeling of the gorund collapsing under my feet.When I'm flying it's a different feeling.Beeing straped in that seat with another pilot that is actually flying the aircraft(by the way, I'm 15 so I can't actually fly it) makes me feel a lot safer in the enclosed, almoast claustrophobic cockpit.It's also great seeing your city from above in the sturdy old Antonov-2 biplanes they fly here(EU, Romania, Constantza).

Slugs.
God I hate those things.

Both.
Oh Me too

*Claps Hands Dances around the Fire* :confused:

That reminds me of two things one taking a Plane to a foreign land to see someone i dont really know but only from NS.
The problem is they are Psycho's Drug me have me Gang banged and then use a two way on me. :(
I'm afraid off that. -Help me

Another is in WWII the Greek Partisans told a girl to paint on a wall some Anti-German things.
The Germans will find out who did it so they'll kill her so she dosent want to....
But if she dosent she knows that the Partisans would make more of a mess of her body than the Germans would so she paints and dies as a Martyr nice aye.

And another one there was an American born Greek in Greece who got off side with the Partisans so they put her in a bag with a starving cat and hang it in a tree.
The cat starts clawing at her inside this bag and really rucks her up badly she survives but horribly disfigures.I think they dunked the bag in water too not very nice.

Having trouble counting? :p

Yep, you have a disgustingly gory imagination. I like that in a person.
I GM some RPGs and the players sometimes complain about some of the nifty things I think up to do to their characters. Apparently they think the GM isn't supposed to have fun too.

Solitary existance in perpetuity with no physical enviroment to interact with and no light.

To be honest? That I'm wrong, philisophically. My logic is flawless, as is the opposing argument. It is all in the postulates. And if mine are wrong, then I've just wasted my life. If not, then my lfie is pointless anyway. I get screwed over either way :)

I hate earthworms. I'm not exactly sure why. The things freak me out.

Then you'll definitely hate "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri." In that game, worms are literally nightmare machines! *evil grin*

Oh yeah the two greek ones were from a book about a NZ liason officer helping the Greek resistance in WWII nice fellas.
Yeah get a lot of time to think at my work. :) i guess its not a good thing though. :(
GM as in God Mode?

It came out on PS it blew the Kumara royally insult to the PC version of old.

Youd also hate the movies Tremors or the series of the same name.

Game master. In role playing games. Even though I'm pretty hopeless on a computer, I do have some other strong geek characteristics.

If you're hopeless on a computer, how come you're posting on the internet? :p :D

My fear is of something most likely going to happen if we don't do something in the next ten years. A die off. I'm basically afraid of us running out of power in the entire world and die off slowly because of the utter dependancy on technology. Most people can't catch their own food and millions of people competing while in a mass hysteria state, the odds aren't good for most of the population.

And of course the usual paranoia about bald men wearing suits who take pet goats for walkies.

May I seriously suggest you take some survival courses or read some books on survival to help ease your fears. There is nothing like sitting in front of a campfire in the wilderness to ease those fears. Also learning how to identify edible vegetation and how to use a gun or bow and arrow for hunting will insure you won't starve. Learning to fish is also good.

No need to fear the shut down of technology if you are willing to learn the basics of survival. Enjoy life.

i am actually not afraid of anything. i am not saying that to be a badass, it is just that i have had a pretty chaotic life, filled with a lot of twists, turns, trials and tribulations, so anything thats coming- i am ready for it.
