Default Lets Talk About Fears

Ok guys, i am back with a new question for you, although i am not very sure if someone posted it earlier but lets talk

Okey my question is that what are your general fears, like things that frighten you. Things that happen around us, or live around us. Tell me about your fears.

And if you turn it to me or you didnt quite get my question, then my answer might be helpful

Oh, and any insect bigger than a housefly. Grasshoppers - ugh!

I fear inadequacy. I fear unknown. I fear my own fears.

Groups of rowdy people (such as football fans) always make me uneasy. I feel that every laugh and jeer is aimed at me, even though of course it isn't. That stems from being a victim of bullying when I was primary school I think.

Related to that I really worry about walking around town on my own in the evening. So I normally get a taxi from home to/from the gay pub even though it's only 20 minutes walk.

Completely unrelated, I'm scared of the dark. Not darkish, I mean pitch dark when you can't tell if your eyes are open or closed. It's the feeling of being out of touch with my surroundings.

Snakes - They freak me out. The thought of one makes me feel jumpy and whenever I see one I run like the wind. I saw a little grass snake in Florida last time I went and I had never run so fast in my life.

Heights - Eurgh, there is no reason to leave the ground. I get to a certain height (not that high either) and I just freeze on the spot. I absolutely hate them and all sorts of crazy things cross my mind.

Needles - Now if we were meant to have pointy pieces of metal stabbed into us then we would have a hole in our skin that could open up to allow injections. As we don't have that I am assuming we are not meant to have these things stabbing us, so I avoid needles at all costs. my BCG also burnt the living hell out of me. It got infected and oozed for weeks.

I have other silly things like operations (I have a fear of waking up through the procedure), the dentist (those drills are scary) and enclosed spaces (especially when I can't move my arms). I guess I am a wuss.

#1: Disappointing my parents
#2: Needles (One of the reasons I refuse to give blood and I hate going into surgery)
#3: Losing my friends
#4: The dark. Not just pitch black dark, but whenever I walk my dog I about have a panic attack sometimes. Unless I'm smoking my pipe or a cigar; basically something to keep my mind occupied.
#5: Not waking up... irrational, but still.
