Wolfcat

For me it's what happens when I sleep. I love to have complete silence when I sleep, and often noises disturb me and freak me out. If they were noises my brain could find a logical explanation for then it would be fine - but in such a sleep deprived state I'm in by that point I can't just turn the light on and say 'Okay, there's nothing there.' I can't help thinking that the second I close my eyes and relax something bad will happen.

So that's my current biggest fear.
That's sounds difficult. I understand because I used to be afraid of the dark for many years.

*offers hugs*

Biggest fear is probably going through a lot of pain or someone I love doing so, God forbid.

My current most annoying fear, however, is that someone who obviously likes me as a person will never answer me again, even when it's only been two days since we talked. I am so reassurance-intensive. It's awful. I hate it. I have the most unreasonable fears.

”My turn! Sooooo I can really relate to your fear wolf cat, I have the same issue. Anywho for my worst fear, it’s not exactly sleeping as much as it is the dark. So how your fear leans more towards having a struggle to sleep, in general mine is of the dark, even with a nightlight or my tv even if others are awake I just can’t have my light of while my door is shut. I think this is probably a forced fear.... O.O what I mean by that is I brought it on myself, I love horror movies and stuff like that however I still get scared to the point ill probs have nightmares. Yeah.... fun! Anyways I’d like to share one of my terrifying nights! Anyone heard of Jeff The Killer? Well for quite a while I was really into this character out of all the creepy pastas he was my fav, no I didn’t have an attraction to him -.- he was just my favorite. As I was saying one night I was listening to his backstory and ended up falling asleep, so ya know when your in like those dreams where you know your dreaming and you can control what you do? Well ya that’s what I experienced! Only I was in my rooms watching myself sleep kinda creepy.... but it was completely dark and my door was shut while my closet was wide open. I remember looking at my sleeping body and thinking “great! This will definitely help my anxiety!” X3 then I heard a voice come from my closet.... I automatically woke up looking around my room, not seeing anything in my closet but my door was shut.... what I heard from the voice was “Go To Sleep” so I’m pretty sure I heard it through my earbuds when Jeff says his catch phrase.... but ya true and terrifying maybe not for you, however it did not help me at all.
Being left completely alone is this world.

Everything
I know this is going to sound REALLY REALLY silly or stupid, but I am utterly terrified of pool/hot-tub drains.

I don't quite know why but literally if I step on one, especially barefoot, I freeze up and pale and get nauseous and shakey. No clue why but it happens soooooooooooooooooooooo....

I have a lot of fears, and to keep it short and simple, I will just list them; people, crowds, the dark, holes(Trypophobia), clowns, being left alone in a large space, circuses, being watched, being touched(doesnt matter where, even if it is my shoulder.), needles, and chickens(Don't. Ask.).

Wow everyone has shared some really interesting and understandable fears. I have pretty bad anxiety myself, and it often leads me to get scared about little things.

For example I’m too scared to eat when I’m alone at home or anything just in case something happens.. which is also part of the reason why I have a roommate I get on with really well. I deal with spiders as he has arachnophobia, and he provides support for when I freak out.

Clowns: I mean, come on. They're creepy. I hate them.

Death: Let me explain this one a little.

I am not afraid of death itself.

What I am afraid of is having a sudden death which makes me unable to say goodbye to the people I love. A death that I didn't know about so I can't tell people myself. I don't want to leave someone in pain. I think this fear rises more when I think about my boyfriend. He's the one I really don't want to just suddenly leave, especially because he has mental health problems and will probably have an episode. It hurts just typing this.

Alleyways in the dark: I'm always afraid that I'll get jumped or kidnapped or I'll get lost.

Maggots: just... Ew.
Spiders (arachnophobia)- Spiders are just... really creepy, but whoever is running this planet decided to make me interested in all animals, including spiders.

Heights (acrophobia)- I'm a tall person in real life, but if I don't feel safe in any height, I'll slightly freak out and have a little anxiety attack.

Needles (belonephobia)- I have a bit of an anxiety when it comes to needles, like I was expecting a needle from my doctor when he was trying to work on an ingrown toenail and he put a cloth on it. I about kicked him in the face.
My biggest fear is the darkness. Now, I don't fear the dark, but I fear the things I cannot see in the dark. But, if I put myself in the dark(Turn out a light, sleep, etc etc) I'm fine. If someone, or something, else does it, I freak out.
Personally, I’m petrified of the ocean. Like, I live it, it’s gorgeous, but I will not go more than 4 feet into the water....it doesn’t help that I’m only 5’2”....and also, like wolfcat said...I love the dark, but random noises that I can’t explain freak me out. Soooo...this next one is kinda embarrassing. I am horrified of elevators. I freeze up and start hyperventilating if I’m in one for more than five minutes. The last time i was in an elevator, I almost passed out and my friends had to rush me out and sit me down. The weird thing is, I’m not claustrophobic. I just am terrified of elevators. Next, I’m afraid of clowns cause..well duh. I’m also afraid of being forgotten. To be honest, I probably already am.
New Fear: The "Mother Bird" statue waddling into my room at midnight. Most likely asking if I want pizza. Its eyes are horrifying.
I am scared of a lot of things but currently my biggest fear has to be being alone. Being alone, and lonely sucks majorly for me and even though I am an introvert, it is scary to imagine being alone and lonely- without friends, no one to talk to, just stuck in your daily life, going through everyday with barely any social interaction past the required ‘good morning’ ‘have a good day’ ‘excuse me’ and ‘goodbye’s
Scorpians (sorta): okay living in the desert I have been stung multiple times and it doesn’t hurt as much as I thought it would, so not regular scorpions. But imagine GIANT scorpions. Movies with that crap (and games) I can’t do


heigts: gives me HEAVY anxiety


what people think of me: pretty self explanatory. My self esteem is often -0 so I really care to much about what OTHERS think of me


public speaking: sorta again. It’s weird, it goes with “what people think of me” more then preforming itself. It’s weird cuz I LOVE acting yet I’m scared to go on stage (unless it with my friends)


Also being poked with sharp objects such as needles


realationships: strange one, I know. But it just kinda scares me because I don’t want me or the person I would be in a relationship hurt in the end.
If my age and the amount my body hurts is going to experience a linear or exponential growth rate.
