Azeem Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Are you afraid of dying alone or like @Devil-Dick Willie you have Venustraphobia the fear of beautiful women ? What are the things that are you afraid of ? Can be a short term thing like not finding a good job to something like an Alien invasion in the future.

Harry Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Interesting thread Azeem. A true anxiety breeding ground! A few things scare me: 1. The logical extension of the current trend of political correctness and the supression of freedom of speech. 1a. Cotton wooling people, and telling everyone we cant say anything that might offend someone else. 2. The degradation of the attention span that is happening with a social media obsessed society. 3. My kids, - wanting them to be successful, happy, healthy, etc. 4. A prosperous economic future for a debt fueled society The kids one is a good kind of worry I think. It motivates me greatly in parenthood. In some respects its marvellous worrying about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted December 7, 2018 Administrator Share Posted December 7, 2018 Spiders. Irrational fear of driving down a road and then having oncoming traffic randomly swerve in to me and being in a huge crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids, - wanting them to be successful, happy, healthy, etc. This probably more than anything, I wouldn't say I have any true fears personally about things in general that I can think of like dying etc or being alone, My biggest fear is for my kids and Grandkids really, for my kids I just want to know if they go out anywhere they return home safe and I do fear for the future where my Grandkids are concerned with the state of the world environment and nature etc... I wonder what kind of a world they will be growing up into the way things are going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I have a fear of needles, in general don't have fear of any animal or insect. Only pussies have a fear of spiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in Aus any snake you see is 99% likely to be in the top 10 most deadly. I’d rather not step on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I find peacocks creepy and evil and would be uncomfortable if i was locked up in a room with a male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted December 7, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 7, 2018 You're building Room 101 or something?... Anyway, the only thing that really scares me is getting a debilitating disease or a serious disability at some point of my life and not being able to take care of myself. Other than that, nothing much really. Can't think of any irrational fears; there are a few things I dislike or don't feel very comfortable with (e.g. flying, being underwater, etc.) but not to such a degree that it causes anxiety.

Rab Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Heights but it depends on what it is. If I'm on a rollercoaster sitting down and the track is underneath me, i'm fine. if the roller coaster was with my legs dangling and the track above me... nope.

Inverted Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Being seriously physically maimed in an accident. A close relative dying. Jack Hendry playing for Celtic.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 17, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 17, 2018 Losing my hearing. As I get older I have started to realize that all that loud music from my younger years and the fact that playing in a band automatically puts you in positions where you are exposed to lots of loud music does degrade your hearing ever so slowly.
