What are your fears? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Tym Misery · 7th Apr 2011, 02:10 PM

My Fears are:

Being Tied to a fence by two homophobic guys and being beaten and left alone to die (Like Matthew Shepard), Having a gang of people beat me up because of who I am (Like Sofia Lancaster). Having the Westboro Baptist church picket my funeral. (Like millions of other LGBT funerals). Having two kids go on a school shooting and kill me (Like Rachel Scott)

Why, I guess because I know it can happen.

Note: Just send me a message if you would like me to explain who these people are and the events that took place. Thanks.

This is in respect for: Matthew Shepard, Rachel Scott and Sofia Lancaster. May you all rest in peace.

Leaving the house.

I actually have a good reason for this, which is going to remain personal.

Idonteven · 7th Apr 2011, 02:44 PM

Wasps, Sharks and Spiders.

**Eric** · 7th Apr 2011, 03:01 PM

Spiders and heights.

malachite · 7th Apr 2011, 03:16 PM

That I'll never find that someone who I want to be with more then anything, that I am an anomaly, doomed to be forever alone. Oh and germs

Harve · 7th Apr 2011, 03:33 PM

Being disliked.

Daryn · 7th Apr 2011, 04:21 PM

My grandparents refusing to talk to me, spiders, sharks, centipedes, bees, and jellyfish. In that order.

roborama · 7th Apr 2011, 05:14 PM

well im clautrophobic, and afraid of ducks, geese, swans, 3D movies, poptarts, and my basement

confusedgirl · 7th Apr 2011, 06:34 PM

That I'll never be able to find that one person that's just for me or experience any of the things that couples get to like arguing, having goosebumps just from being in their presence, being able to say I love you while snuggling on the couch watching a crappy movie, and Proposing.

That I'll never be able to do the things that will make me happy because I'll be too worried of what other people reactions will be instead of worrying about my own and throwing everyone else's out the window.

**Lexington** · 7th Apr 2011, 07:30 PM

I'm scared of some insects. Especially the larger, flying-or-jumping variety. Ick ick ick. I used to have a mild fear of the dark (and of going to sleep), but those are both pretty well licked.

My biggest fear? Not living up to my expectations.

spiders. earlier this evening a spider the size of shelob invaded my bedroom. it took the combined force of my dad and my younger brother to destroy it.

i don't think i'll be sleeping tonight.

Pseudojim · 7th Apr 2011, 08:20 PM

heights.

not a huge fan of cars either.

i actually quite like spiders and all manner of creepie crawlies. Nature is our friend!

Allegro molto · 7th Apr 2011, 08:32 PM

Every sort of bug, insect, arachnid, etc. alive or dead (including butterflies), horror movies and commercials about them, carpal tunnel (I'm a violinist), heights, driving (my car is unusually crappy), constant usage of bad grammar.

TyRawr · 7th Apr 2011, 08:34 PM

I have a fear of using public restrooms without someone I know at least outside.
According to most my friends, it's a legitimate fear.
I just don't want to get beat up in a restroom, again.

Gumtree · 8th Apr 2011, 07:59 AM

Discontentment? I suppose that's a very broad/generic fear.

I don't really hold much fear of insects or animals, or pain or death.

But gosh, if someone told me that I would become unhappy/discontent oneday, I would probably just off myself now out of fear of such.

Lioren · 8th Apr 2011, 08:14 AM

Falling, being alone or unloved, uncleanliness (which stretches to other people's cooking and the utensils they are using, and im stressing myself out even thinking about it now... so I have to force my thoughts elsewhere), the dark...

Sparty313 · 8th Apr 2011, 11:31 AM

big fear of heights and not being able to set out what i want to accomplish in life..

Emberstone · 8th Apr 2011, 11:58 AM

jelly fish, and religious-political facisem.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but it's legit. I used a public bathroom at a rest-stop for the first time in five years a few weeks ago during my spring break trip and I had an incident with a trucker. Never will I ever use a public bathroom again.

Other than that...I'm afraid of heights and bugs. Yuckkkk...
