What's your greatest fear?

[YYC in LAX]

Knocking up my girlfriend. Seriously. That would suck. A lot.

Crocs on a plane

Oh, and I do not think I would be much of a spelunker.

Other than that . . . . . not much.

I've been in tight caves and it is unnerving for sure.

And this is for you Cowperson.

Here's the same thread from last year, should be a good comparison.

Being ripped apart alive by a pack of Hyenas.

[Two Fivenagame]

Falling into a pit of spiders.


I have the fear.

[fleudian]

Bears.

There's an interesting conflict in those two fears.

Don't knock up your gf or any girl, and you will probably go blind if you know what I mean.

Or don't go blind, and odds are that you'll eventually fire the silver bullet.

As an agnostic, I would have to say death.

Nothing more frightening than facing the uncertainty of what is an inevitability.

[Clever_Iggy]

Spiders... in any way. The greatest killing machines known to man and they are coming to crawl on you and stuff. Blech!

DESS should have focused on spiders rather than Bears.

Flying

Most fears here appear to be things that would cause great physical harm. My own fear however would be something that happens within my own brain/thoughts. I went into cocaine psychosis 6 years ago when l was 19 one night. That was absolutely the most terrifying experience of my life. Never have l felt fear like that and I was seeing and hearing things that l knew were not there, yet could not ignore it. I guess my #1 fear would be to go crazy mentally and unable to control your thoughts. Dementia type stuff.

[The Yen Man]

My worst fear is dying. My fear isn't with the actual dying itself, moreso because I would really miss all the things I have in life.

On a side note, curse you Pinner. I knew what was coming in that vid, yet it still managed to make me jump at the end of it.

[J pold]

Being poor and fat.

I'm just adding this to the list from the prior thread.

[Akai-Sesui]

I still hate cockroaches.

I like thinking about it like this:

Remember what it was like before you were born? That's probably what death will feel like.

[Galakanokis]

Something happening to my kids. As in dying or getting seriously hurt or ill (where death is inevitable). Don't think my poor heart or brain could handle that. Sometimes the mere thought of that can shake me to my knees. It's a weird feeling.

I've always had a fear of a brain injury that damages me but allows me to remember my underdamaged self.

Or losing the use of my body.

I remember reading Flowers for Algeron (sp?) and the concept of that book scared the hell out of me.

I know there are many inspirational stories about Quadrapeligics and brain damaged individuals or individuals that go blind. I have a fear that I wouldn't be strong enough to handle it.

I'm exploring caves and there's a real tight spot I have to crawl through. Somehow I get stuck half way through and I can't move. Of course I panic. It's a dream I've had over the years.

My other fear is getting cancer and being told I have so many months to live. A lady friend of mine went through this and feared going to sleep because she was afraid she would never wake up.
