Things that terrify you?

[Bonkers225]

For me are those missing persons or John Joe/Jane Joe dead person sketches you see up on police/fbi sites. They absolutely terrify the living shit out of me. I'm talking shut my body down, completely freeze up level of fear.

Any kind of injury or harm to eyes freaks me out a bit. Other types of injury or gore in media doesn't phase me, but I have to look away if it's eye related as that really gets to me.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I'm afraid of spiders and heights.

 

[JustLooking123]

I'm afraid of making mistakes that harm other people...

 

[JackNoir413]

im afraid of spiders and the future.

 

[Zerohour2k12]

Being left alone, in the sense that I'd outlive the people around me.... and also the bills.... and health checkups...

 

[bigstinkie]

the idea of being kidnapped and forced to harm other innocent people or die in some kind of death game

 

[Bakuma1997]

Spiders, loneliness, letting my family and friends down, dangerous people, and owls

 

[_Lorenzo_]

I am afraid of losing my loved ones, I am terrified of the uncertainty of the world's future, I am frightened of evil people....

 

[Frickinfrik]

The future, snakes, being alone in the middle of nowhere/ abandoned buildings, very high heights, surgery, losing a family member/friend/pet, being held at gunpoint, sex offenders, extremely dangerous and fucked up people, pulling of fingernails/toenails, brutal injury to eyes.

[RageBurner]

Yoko ono's singing.

Justified.

As for me, eye injury, spiders (spider enemies in games get priority on my death list in every game) and being thrown to the wayside in general.

This is a bit heavy, but I have a phobia for children. Which is a deep fear of children. I don't really leave my house and I only work night shifts because I don't want to come across children if I can help it. My friend didn't realize how bad it was until she took me to a mall and I started crying in her car because there was so many kids around. I developed this Phobia because children remind me of my childhood. And my childhood was the type of story that would have turned me into a serial killer or something if my brain wasn't wired correctly. Lots of abuse from many different people. And it makes me sad. My mom has my nephews and nieces and stuff framed on our walls and for me, it's as if I'm looking at pictures of spiders. Sorry to vent, I just feel like, on the off chance someone else has this, they'll know they're not alone

Damn sorry to hear that. I thought you were going to say I watched Children of the Corn or something. Have you seen a psychiatrist? Thats pretty serious.

 

[ThatOneLum ThatOneLum]

I have a problem with Theme Park mascots that made going to Disneyland a right pain in the arse as a kid.


These days I'm actually pretty happy about it. Most horror games haven't worked on my in years, but because of my dumb phobia, I actually struggled through FNAF: Security Breach and was scared more than once.

Actually pretty glad that this has become its own horror genre now. There are so many other games that have the potential to actually scare me properly instead of just trying to make me jump and being bad at producing tension.

I hope you can one day find the serenity you deserve, in turn founding a happy family.

Escalators, I developed my fear of escalators wayy before watching final destination. I think it was after watching a news story about a kid losing their toes because they got stuck. I literally can't bring myself to step on them, I just freeze.

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

The closest to a fear that, I can think for is looking upwards in open sky locations(like rural or lightly populated forests ) or buildings with high ceilings, like basketball gyms.
I do tend to avoid elevators and escalators, stairs and "climbing" is for me.

 

[ATenderLad]

Uh, heights, horses, things with too many legs, being alone in a silent room with portraits of people because I suspect they'll start moving and following me with their eyes, and deep water.

Damn, that sound really rough. I really hope you can get help or relief for this someday soon. Sending hugs.

Stinging insects really get to me for some reason. I just kinda freeze and get really paranoid whenever I notice a wasp or bee, or other insect of that general nature. The nightmares are probably worse than seeing them in real life, though. Sometimes I'll be having a totally normal dream, only for the perspective to shift to a big wasp as it's coming to sting me. I usually wake up before it gets me, but it's always a jolt.

I also get nervous around heights because I get that call of the void feeling pretty strong, and I'm a little prone to vertigo, and the combination just kinda freaks me out. By extension it makes me really uncomfortable on escalators.​
