I will take you on!! 💪💪(ò_ó💪💪)

....just... spiders
.......just spiders.....

Spiders, escalators, thunder/lightning, and the dark.
I'm a big tiddy baby.

(💪💪ó‾ò)💪💪

what now boyo.

I suppose to stay on topic I'll be raw here: no, I'm not afraid of anything.

Your example's situational -- it's not really an active phobia.

I love her to pieces (I LOVE YOU SM!!!!) and it would honestly break my heart to see her hurt because I let her down or it was out of our hands. But in that situation I would understandably be very worried and I would take every measure to look after her and make her better and feel safe!!! (i kiss her)

If I see a spider I'll either leave it or take it outside, I don't kill things going about their business.

I'm deathly allergic to wasps and bees but I catch all of them and take them outside or away from where I'm sat.

Strip a man of everything and you leave him with one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose your reaction, your response. You can interpret that in many different ways, it's applicable to many things in life.

In this instance: if I don't let anything affect me, it won't.

If I've feared anything I've faced it head on-- that's me through and through I will throw myself headlong at my fear until I've conquered it.

When I was younger I was afraid of heights -- so I walked myself off a bridge with some rope.
Scared of the dark -- went caving and turned all the lights out and stood in pitch dark for minutes.
Scared of spiders once too -- held a bird-eating tarantula and it was the sweetest creature on earth.

This.

Spiders.🕷
Needles.💉
Clowns.
Heights.
Not being good enough.

All the above I will cry very manly tears while screaming like a little girl. 😂

My favorite Youtuber once said: You can be the most badass person in the world (which you seem to be), but when that cockroach starts flying, everything changes.

Let's see... I am afraid of:

• Spiders
• Teenage boys
• Drunk men
• Middle aged white men - This stems from an incident I had in a mall when I was 15. I had been at the mall all day with my mom and when we got to Barnes and Noble, only then did I realize that this guy was following me around the mall, when he made a comment to me when I reached down for a book. I ran to the nearest security guard to inform them of the situation.
• Centipedes
• Being alone
• Judgement
• People lying about me
• Growing old
• People actually hating me and talking about me behind my back like it's some big joke

I was going to mention that I'm similar since I have a scary ability to compartmentalize. Actually, though, it raised an interesting point for me. Now that I really, really reflect on it I tend to be MUCH more fearful for other people than I am for myself.

I'm always pre-checking everyone's equipment on trips and making sure everyone's had enough to eat/drink, wearing sunscreen, aren't in financial distress, warning them about consequences of actions, and generally not minding my own darn business because I'm much more terrified of something happening to a friend or acquaintance than anything happening to me. Weirdly enough I'm even protective of people I'm not particularly fond of. I've always been the competent and reliable one, so what if just one time, I'm not?

Spooks me out, friend. So I guess my biggest fear is incompetence and inability to prevent or respond to someone's needs.

...Once I barefoot stepped on a frog in the dark and it popped.
POPPED.

Roads

jellyfish, open water, centipedes, horses, and ferris wheels.

oh, and if my eyebrows get f' up.

Needles make me nervous. The dark makes me nervous, especially following any creepy stories. These are things I can handle by focusing on telling myself there's nothing.

I'm totally fine with most bugs and other critters, but spiders sometimes make me mildly uncomfortable, and earwigs and centipedes creep me the heck out. (Millipedes are cool, though. The grey, armored-looking guys.)

Kids make me nervous sometimes, for a mix of reasons. Part fear of hurting them, part being unable to escape them (kids seem to live me). These fears have absolutely been proven legitimate on multiple occasions.

I'm not afraid of being alone, but I am afraid of everyone "realising" that I'm a selfish, manipulative douchebag. I'm afraid of reaching that conclusion myself and being unable to deny it. I'm afraid of causing others harm, or even annoyance.

I'm a big ol wimp and I'm afraid of stairs. I stress out so much every time I have to use any. It's so weird but every time I expect gravity to kick my butt and to find myself at the bottom, helpless and yeah no ty.

I recently found out during last Halloween that murky water freaks me out as well. Or being out on open water in the dark. If I can't see what's out there I'm not going out there. Thanks, haunted house. :'(

I'm not afraid of BEING alone....
but I'm afraid of DYING alone.



Also, mirrors. I'm afraid of mirrors. Especially in the dark.
But in general, when I look in a mirror, I don't feel like I'm looking at myself. I feel as if I'm looking at another person, who's just following me.
And one day, I'll see her blink.

Ooooh my god I can relate. And that dang picture just gave me the chills ;-;

Yeah, mirrors in the dark aren't nice... Especially if you stare. Your brain gets confused or something and starts trying to add to what it sees. Your face gets all twisted up and stuff.
