• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Fears

Wasps/bees, but that's about it. Oh and paradoxes (sp?) because they make me feel like there's no purpose in life.
 
I'm afraid of being alone. I really hate the prospect of being alone. I hate having no social contact with anything all day. I hate arguing with friends as it makes me think they hate me and then I feel alone because they don't want to be around me for a while. I'm scared of it.

I'm scared of losing contact with people I like.

I'm scared of people who I think hate me. I don't like going near them as I always have this idea that they're going to bite my head off if I slip up.

I'm scared of hospitals.
I'm scared of not using the correct spoon to eat my cereal with in the mornings.

I'm scared of rejection.

I'm also very scared of not being me for whatever reason. Saying things I don't mean to fit in. I hate being put in those situations but because I'm less scared of this than being alone I do sometimes warp the truth until I find someone I really like and then I talk to them and stuff. It's all good until they start to dislike me.
 
I think anything I am scared of would come down to a fear of large amounts of pain.
I would presume, however, that this is built into everyone so we don't do stupid things (well people do, but still the check is there)
 
I'm afraid of bugs, I really can't stand them. If I saw anything crawling or moving, I freak out and instantly assume it's a bug.

Now, this one will sound really silly, but I'm also afraid of escalators. That I'll get my foot stuck or something. I can't explain it, but I just don't like them.

And of course, I'm afraid of talking to strangers. Deathly afraid. And generally just afraid of most social situations, I fear that people are constantly structinizing my every move even though I know they're not. (Put this one as "irrational")

Wow, I'm actually afraid of everything you just said. I thought I was the only one! But I'm also afraid of sharp objects. Like knives and needles. If someone is cutting something with a knive and they are cutting it really close to their fingers, I'll start freaking out. Or if they are talking and gesturing with the knive, I'll be like "Whoa, watch it with that knive!!". And I'm just really afraid of needles. Like if I have to get a shot or if I have to get bloodwork. It's just soooo scary because a needle is like a little knive that is going directly into your vein and is taking out blood and can slice open your vein and... *shudders*, now I'm scaring myself!! :dead:

P.S. I also hate being in small places (I feel like I can't breathe) and I'm scared of the dark. At nighttime, if I'm going downstairs or going to the bathroom, I look behind me about fifty times every few seconds. I just hate not knowing what's behind me or in the dark in front of me....

I am not particularly fond of heights, though I can handle them if there's a rail and whatever I'm standing on is level.

Darkness can occasionally creep me out, but I prefer night to day so that outweighs any fear I have.

Insects and arachnids. Ladybugs and butterflies are the only bugs I can handle at all. I can't bring myself to get anywhere near the rest. (I have, however, absolutely zero fear of snakes unless they're highly venomous and clearly aggravated.)

Silence unnerves me greatly. I can't sleep without some kind of noise, and lack of sound causes me to instantly become paranoid.

I'm also claustrophobic. I don't mind if I'm in a small place, but the second the door is locked or I'm somehow sealed in, I panic. I'm afraid that I'll never get out, I guess. And whenever I don't have much room, the urge to stretch and move engulfs me.

I tend to dislike being alone (which is ironic considering that I am not very social at all and can't handle a lot of human company), but I think that has more to do with the silence factor than anything.
