What are you afraid of?

[NinjaPomeranian 143]

Spiders,extreme heights and stupidity.The latter is pretty the worse,I bump into it everyday

oh,also that sweet feeling that something/somebody is watching you when you go to the bathroom at night ....

Children

Motorbikes

Social situations

Large spiders

Rejection

Judgement

Isolation (funny how both isolation and social situations are both fears)

Freakin' Hypno

Being the centre of attention

Gore (I both love and hate it)

As a Pokemon fan,the Hypno part got me xD....

[Washougal_Otaku 1,020]

Two things come to mind:

 

1 - Failing as a father (which there's many ways to do that)

 

2 - Horses, ponies, and anything else in the Equidea family.

[LED Dasher 228]

My fears are:

 

Failing at important tasks

People misunderstanding me

Being ignorant

Bugs and insects

Standing from long heights

[Sir Hugsalot 8,621]

Well, I have arachnophobia (fear of spiders) so I can get scared of bigger spiders when I notice them (I don't mind small ones though). I can't help it even if I wish I could. And it's not even the fact that they are ugly, I just am afraid of them and I see no logical explanation to that fact. 

 

Also I am afraid of being rejected or left by friends ever since it actually happened to me once. But this I am slowly dealing with so it should be gone in some time. I hope so, because it makes being social really difficult sometimes. 

 

Also I am not great in expressing my opinion when facing bigger groups of people, my shyness takes over me and I am just unable to express my opinion properly. I also find myself more comfortable in small groups than larger ones overall. 

 

 

What some people find weird is that I am not really afraid of darkness. Unless I was watching/playing a horror, then I can get creeped out a bit. Why does it not scare me except that one moment? I have no idea, my guess is that it feels a bit like cloak and I find my imagination working better when there is no distraction. Sometimes I try to use it for my songwriting attempts as I am not distracted by anything including daylight then. 

[~Sylveon~ 188]

I'm terrified of large, open spaces. It's like I have nowhere to run if danger is a thing that happens, so I'm pretty much dead. x,x It scawy.

[Steve 290]

bugs

death and what happens after

[Rainbow S.D. 546]

I get traumatized by things other people wouldn't. Like a boss amirite? Anyway, I was watching a urban legends video. 3 Seconds in I see a tiny picture of Bloody Mary. I was shocked.  BAM! Nyctophobia (fear of the darkness) is embedded in my brain!   Ever since that video, I can't sleep in complete darkness. I can only sleep at full brightness or half. Also, when I am outside at night, I get extremely paranoid. But, at least the fear is settling down.

[Scootalove 10,684]

Needles and Scary trees at night.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

I'm sorry, but spiders are of the devil. Period.

 

I also do NOT like having the feeling that I am being watched by two eyes hidden in a mist of darkness.

 

Also...rejection, to an extent.

[Celtore 2,769]

- Hypodermic needles

- Stinging insects (PARTICULARLY WASPS, the jerks!)

- Blood

- Pain in general

- Being watched without my knowing

- Bad and/or aggressive drivers

- Assembly language

 

I think that just about covers it all. Public speaking fits too, but I think I've figured out a way to handle it. It probably wouldn't work if I was talking to an audience of over 100 people though.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

I don't like to call myself a "germophobe," but I do have an aversion to touch / human contact and a general concern regarding "contaminants."

 

I have a fear of drowning.  I mean, I'm not fearful of it whilst on dry land xD, but I can't swim and would shun even the deep end of a pool (without a secure hold on something that kept me afloat).

 

I'm agoraphobic to some degree; particularly if it's somewhere with a lot of people and / or a good deal of bustle.

 

Strangers lol.  Or maybe just human beings in general (with some exceptions).  Others in this topic have named a fear of spiders; I love spiders.  I'd probably get along better with a spider than I would with most of the human race. xD

 

In-real-life social interactions can be scary.  Unless it includes someone I'm unusually comfortable with, it's not an activity I even care to engage in.

[Luxpony 10]

Cars, angry spiders, dogs, large amounts of people, zombies, enclosed spaces. 

 

Also being alone.

[KoGy 187]

I would add being labeled.

It's a thing I don't like happening to me.
I'm afraid of it a lot.

[Tyroq 344]

Hmm, well I guess the number 1 thing I fear in life is making mistakes. I've always been a lot like Twilight Sparkle in that I tend to be a perfectionist. If I'm going to participate in something, it has to be something I know I can do well. I'd hate to jump into something and do it poorly and end up looking like a fool. And I hate making choices without knowing how things will turn out. I like to know all my variables and work things out perfectly.

[Midnight Solace 5,129]

1. Social interaction

2. When things go wrong

3. Losing friends

4. Not being good enough

5. Being embarrassed

6. Bad memories

7. My auditory hallucinations

8. Verbal abuse

9. Loud noises

[PaulBron 173]

I'm afraid with social interaction at school

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Spiders, wasps, and the dark. 

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Spiders

Centipedes

Bugs in general, really

Extreme gore (I like soft gore, but as soon as organs start spilling out it gets creepy for me)

Failure (obvious)

The afterlife and whatever it may bring, assuming there is one

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

Crime,

Anything bad happening to loved ones,

Car trouble,

Freaking spiders,

F****** snakes,

Fear itself.

• Probably other things

[BritishBrony2012 719]
