^ That my friends, is hate with a passion. Mina, I salute you.

Wait...what you do think about chicken?

..I like chicken?

Ughhhhh please excuse E and his chicken obsession

Also that mayo gif made me sick, and I like mayo

I imagine my fears as fairly basic, and shared with most at some level.

Being alone / Being forgotten
I'm scared of being without any friends, or that if I'm gone for a place or a person's life for a long period of time that they'll forget about me. To a certain extent it also extends to finding a significant other, but that's a whole 'nother ball game. The world is a cold place without having anyone to pal around with!

Bugs
I cannot stand bugs, especially cicadas/katydids. I can't take it. I'm a 27 year old grown dude, 5' 10", weighing in at around 210lbs, and I will not go near insects. Even butterflies or moths. When I was a kid, one of the houses I lived in had a severe and problem - several times I ended up covered in them, so now I destroy any colonies wherever u go! Lulz

Heights
This has lessened over time, but Heights scare me still. If I get the chance to go to some kind of football or baseball game, I'll jump on it but it takes about ten minutes of silent mental prep before I can sit down in the stadium.

Tall people!
Now this is an odd one. People over about 6' 6" intimidate the crap out of me, due to some past troubles. I can hang around people under that just fine, but once you start getting, say, a head taller than me, my brain defaults into "NOPE! Nope nope nope nope nope, and nope." I realize it's kind of silly, but hey, we're all quirky!

Uhm... Quick list time.
The dark, especially being alone in it
Somehow forgetting my own identity / forgetting who I am
Never finding a wife
Death of family members (especially my grandparents)
That I won't amount to anything, no matter how hard and how much I try
That people won't accept me for who I am
I'm afraid my inner Canadian lineage will somehow overpower the American freedom flowing through my veins, and our Eagles will reject me, leaving me with only the moose to console me. (Hey, it's a serious topic, I have to liven it up a little )

I'm scared of a fair bit of things. Heights, being upside down on amusement park rides, and slight arachnophobia, but I can still do all these things. I'm a very laid back guy who downstairs care much. So put m upside down on a plane full of spiders and see how I react! I'll probably freak out for a minute or two, but then I'll just be like 'whatever' and just kind of hang out! Lol. The only thing that won't be overcome anytime soon is my slight bit of social anxiety. But that makes it sound like a disease! I'm just shy.

I'll keep it simple like this, gotta hurry~

Hulkamaina running wild on me.


But suffocation for show. Not much else.

Heights/Falling from high places
-When I was a kid, we had bunk beds without safety guards and tile flooring. I was actually on the bottom bunk to sleep but sat up on the top to talk to my sister. I ended up leaning too far back and landed head first on the floor. Now I can't even stand on a chair without panicking.

Dark
-I don't care what anyone says, things do go bump in the dark that you don't see in the light.

Bugs
-Wasps, bees, ants, roaches, fleas, ticks.. Everything else I'm pretty okay with. I can even share a room with a spider, so long as it doesn't crawl on me.

Driving/Car Wrecks
-I don't deserve the right to control a giant metal death trap halp.

Being Hated/Abandoned
-This more stems toward being disowned by friends/family for being transgender than anything else

Aliens
-Because aliens.

I have my reasons.

I'm also terrified of the end of the world, or the thought of it.

The end of the world won't be coming unless we run out of chicken

@Mina: Okay . You had me worried for a minute. And now mayo is disgusting to me . But you can make mac and cheese with mayo?

@KhajiitHasWares: I dunno, that alien looked kinda cool

• Clowns (they're always happy and that scares me?)
• Bugs (Including butterflies and moths... they fly at me and they scare me )
• The Dark(tm)
• The deep ocean (which you know, really works out w/ me wanting to be a marine biologist lol)
• Dying alone (Ashley gets deep here, oops)
• People not wanting to be around me, they only deal with me to be nice ;
• Lots of other things, but those are the things that come off the top of my head right now...

Yes omg

I can relate so much

Critters is a good film series but they're still hairy monsters with lots of teeth that can chew flesh off bones faster than a cartoon piranha.

dang thats a good one, especially if there is nothing we can do about it

O_O

^Oh god, what the hell

I encourage watching it if you haven't.

Critters made me scared of red lights until I was about 15 xD

I'm not sure what I'm scared of yet. I think being alone for the rest of my life is one fear but it's not something I really dwell on. The right guy equally as mental as I am is out there.

I really don't like walk through "haunted houses". I went to a Saw Maze here in the UK and whacked a guy in a pig mask >>

As for the usual fears? Well I've done skydiving and bungee jumping, and I've had pet spiders, moths and stick insects so I've got them covered xD

Critters wasn't even the movie to ruin me but I'm too scared to put a gif of the one that did
