I know several people who are afraid of clowns. This has prompted me to ask: What are you afraid of? For me it would have to be heights or deep expanses of water.

Clowns, massive injury, mad, dirt, everything being in even numbers, blood, snakes, cockroaches, Democrats, Potaria (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=potaria), terrorist attacks, landmines, choking, piranhas, alligators, air pollution, water pollution, crocodiles, old people, spiders, sewage, basements, decapitation, eyeballs, automatic doors, needles, blood pressure tests, blood tests, giving blood, IVs, pain, rejection, failing, crying, suffocation, mistaken identity, making telephone calls, hippies, goths, memory loss... and anybody losing anything.

Snakes, and Wikipedia vandals.

...massive injury...

and losing my memory

Cockroaches (filthy, awful, disgusting, wretched, damned little buggers!!!) and flying.

flying.

On an aircraft?

I'm afraid of swimming in water with living creatures in it. Also afraid of accidentally choking on food.

Spiders, snakes, and a liberal president.

Spiders, snakes, and a liberal president. Ah, so you fear both sides of the political spectrum. :p

Tigers.

And I mean tigers not in a zoo... wild tigers.

I get terrified when one tries to pounce on me and devour my flesh.

On an aircraft?

No, with my magical fairy wings.

Of course an aircraft... :rolleyes:

Don't want to travel on one of the safest forms of transportation, eh? :rolleyes:

Sorry, this is the best one I found on the google search, "vile monster" :p.

Those black spikey sea urchins. Falling off a height. I will never sky dive. I can scuba dive (hence my fear of them urchins. They're scary mofos!) but I will never EVER sky dive. Bungee jump maybe.

Don't want to travel on one of the safest forms of transportation, eh? :rolleyes:

Go bait someone else. I will not defend my fears to you.

I'm afraid of oceans and naked people. And yes, that does mean I have lightning (10 minutes in and out) showers and don't look at mirrors at the time. I'm also afraid of electric blankets and being seen in pubic while wearing jeans.

Sorry, this is the best one I found on the google search, "vile monster" :p.

Aww, he's cute. :fluffle:

Dying of old age in my bed.

Go bait someone else. I will not defend my fears to you.
You don't need to. I understand it: You're afraid because you don't like being a passenger on transport that usuals results in death if in an accident. ;)

As for baiting somebody else... Potaria? Did you see what I wrote for my fears? ;)

Dying of old age in my bed.

I'm looking forward to dying of old age in someone else's bed.

Aww, he's cute. :fluffle:

Take a look at the URL. You'll think differently.

:p

Hahahaha! Nice.

Knives on wool, dying in an embaressing way, the basement of my house, large deep expances of water is a ditto, that my cat will remove my eyeball if he were to touch it, the number between 17 and 19 (I try not use it).

I'm not afraid of poop. I've worked as a nurse, for Pete's sake!

Not really, I'm more afraid of the plane not working all of a sudden and me plummeting to my death. It's the sure knowledge of impending, crushy death that really makes me anxious.

Look at the first two digits of your post count ;)

I know several people who are afraid of clowns.
Dear sweet Buddha, I hate clowns. Me and my brother have always hated clowns. They used to make us cry. They still make me shudder.

(Sorry, Lunatic Goofballs)

Look at the first two digits of your post count ;)
Bastard! You know you're going to hell for that.

Being poked with needles, deep water, making phone calls, and the endless stupidity of people.

i'm afraid of pain. as in severe and physical. also big emotional pain scares me. i'm afraid of rejection. i'm afraid of crying in public. i'm afraid of dying in a way i can't control (falling, breaking my neck, drowning, suffocation) where I know the end is coming and that it will be painful and that i can't stop it. sometimes i'm afraid of the dark. i'm afraid every time i can't find someone. i'm afraid that my aetheist friend will never become open-minded to the fact that he could be wrong. i'm afraid that hilary clinton might become president. i'm afraid of getting another concussion. i'm afraid terrorists will blow up the Arch (i live in st. louis, mo, usa). i'm afraid of being single the rest of my life. i'm fascinated by and incredibly scared of vampires. i'm afriad that something will happen to my 6month old godson. i'm afraid that bungie will let halo be made into a movie and that hollywood will ruin it. i'm afraid that the neighbor girl who hurt her legs and can't walk for a long time will never walk again. i'm afraid of falling down stairs. i'm afraid of getting in a car accident. i'm afraid of CAUSING a car accident.

i can trace almost all of my seemingly irrational fears into fearing for someone else. i'm afraid FOR people, not OF people. i'm afraid that i won't be there when people need me. i'm afraid that i'll let them down. i'm afraid of hurting people in any way. i'm afraid of not being right, especially when it really matters. what's really funny is that alot of people say i'm the bravest person they know.

what i'm afraid of most is that one day i'll prove them wrong.

1. being forgotten
2. being alone for eternity
3. losing my memory (altzheimerz) If i get terminally ill so be it. But so long as i can rember what I did in my life

I was afraid this post wouldn't end and that no matter how far I plunged a Q-tip into my brain I couldn't erase the memory.

What are you afraid of?

Allah

Allah

No need to be afraid. He's just a figment of your imagination, just like that monster under your bed! ;)

/I kid, I kid! I respect Keruvalia's beliefs fully, because he is a great person.

On the clowns, its the toy mannequins (sp) I have a deep seated fear of, and still do, not so much the live ones, but the toy ones that sit in the corner of your bedroom on a chair and just stare at you with those cold black eyes.
Everytime I see one I get the little goosebumps, and usually back out of the room from old habit.

Dear sweet Buddha, I hate clowns. Me and my brother have always hated clowns. They used to make us cry. They still make me shudder.

Clowns. I hate clowns. They freak the hell out of me. One time, I think it was last year, I was in a theme park type thingy and I was looking at a map of the place, and I turn around and there was a clown.. RIGHT THERE.

I kind of just made a whimpering noise and ran away.

Dude ... you do not want to piss off the monster under my bed. *shudder*

I am the monster under your bed! I! You'd think I'd get some credit for acting all spooky and secretive and slowly driving you insane, but no....

I thought you were the one in the bathroom closet! Damn ... now I have to rearrange the linens.

I'm afraid of the dark to an extent, and I'm afraid of "how" I'm gonna die, not death, but HOW I'm gonna die... :mp5: :eek:

I thought you were the one in the bathroom closet! Damn ... now I have to rearrange the linens.

Honey, I haven't been in a closet in years. :p

(Hmm, leave the crusty linens, I'll deal with them...)

Ha! Walked right into that one, it seems.

Oooh! Do you do windows, too?

Oooh! Do you do windows, too?

Umm, if by "do windows" you mean "push your muscular man-boob against the glass à la Midnight Express," then, no. It leaves marks.

muscular man-boob

I'm sorry ... that's all I actually saw in that post ............ ....... ... . .

That's all you'll see, mister! I ain't no home-wrecka'.

Heights, I really, really, REALLY hate heights, which makes getting home lots of fun. Oh, and Macs, Macs scare me.

Death, Democrats, The Chinese Government, Nuclear War, Terrorists, and bullys.

Being scared by terrorists is really silly, since that's what they want you to be.

While I don't consider myself homophobic, I must admit that butch lesbians scare me. >.>

Two things come to mind: public speaking and spiders.

ewwww I just saw a cockroach in my kitchen.

It wasn't big, but it was farily large in terms of Chinese cockraoches, which are about 1cm.. this one was 2cm in length.

AH. I hate this, I want to leave this appartment right now. EH.

For all those people who are afraid of clowns, the biggest fear for a clown is the look on the face of a small child when you know things arent going to go well. You can see the slow motion crumpling of their face and then the tears just start flowing followed by hysterical crying

EHHH. It went behind the fridge. I'm really scared now. My room is a mess... IT COULD BE INFESTED.

Why this flat? We're on the 14th floor for godsake... how did they get up here?! No wait, I don't anyone to answer that question, I know I won't like the answer.. I know why they have wings..

Getting things stuck under my fingernails.

Finding out that I have an immortal soul and won't die... Having to go on living in any form scares the hell out of me

While I don't consider myself homophobic, I must admit that butch lesbians scare me. >.>

Head down to The Glasshouse in Collingwood. Prepared to be frightened. I tried to buy a slab to take away & thought I was going to be melted by death stares. :p

Adult Spiders.

Moths - creepy little things can't fly in a straight line - i never know where they're headed - Yikes!

Clowns, massive injury, mad, dirt, everything being in even numbers, blood, snakes, cockroaches, Democrats, Potaria (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=potaria), terrorist attacks, landmines, choking, piranhas, alligators, air pollution, water pollution, crocodiles, old people, spiders, sewage, basements, decapitation, eyeballs, automatic doors, needles, blood pressure tests, blood tests, giving blood, IVs, pain, rejection, failing, crying, suffocation, mistaken identity, making telephone calls, memory loss... and anybody losing anything.
I'd go along with all those things but I have to add my Mum to list, she'd be number one.

rednecks
bears
hiv, herpes, etc.
and I won't voluntarily touch an insect or arachnid, they're just too evolutionatily removed...

I'd go along with all those things but I have to add my Mum to list, she'd be number one.

You're scared of old people, Democrats, and water population too?! ;)

underpants gnomes :gundge:

Subjugation.

Spirit crushing Religious Tyrrany and Social Nannyisim.

Heights and mirrors! :(

Centipedes. Oh gods, they're horrible. Far too many legs.

Im right scared of dead things...mainly people...And when im high up looking up. i can usually look down all i like, but looking up scares me.

water, clowns, crowds of birds (their fucking deadly), spiders

water, clowns, crowds of birds (their fucking deadly), spiders, not being in control of my mind

Snakes, heights, and deep water.

I think my granny said it best when she said she was afraid of grounds.

"Why not be scared of something sensible like heights?"
"it's not the heights that kill you, it's the grounds below"

Wise woman.

I'm scared of spiders and clowns. So my nightmare is a genetically modified SPIDERCLOWN. 8 arms, dressed all in motley, smiley clown face AND MULTIFACETED EYES.

You are shitting yourself at that image, aren't you?

Speaking of genetically modified spiders, my friend and I decided that "Spabbits" would be pretty freaky. Spiders/Rabbits. If spiders multiplied like bunnies it would be horrible... (shivers). Of course there's the possibilty of eight-legged rabbits that can spin webs... (shivers again).

What is it with all the spider fear? Have you guys ever held one, and admired its beauty, did you know they have subtle, mischievious personalitys?
How could you hate those cute little black eyes, and the graceful way they move around.

Nothing, really - at least the way I think the question is intended. The normal fear of things that are harmful and dangerous, but there's nothing that particularly frightens me.

Eeek. I think I'll pass...
