muahahaha! this thread is for posting and discussing your deepest darkest fears of past, present, and future. I'll start it out with a story when I was a wee young lad.
At the end of the year of 6th grade, the first year of middle school where I'm from, our entire class went on a trip to "Camp". It was an annual thing all the 6th graders did every year. in 8th grade our class trip was washington D.C. (that was an amazing weekend for 8th grade).
anyway, I watched the movie "fire in the sky" a few months before going to camp. but after watching the movie I had changed. I was now in fear for my life. the x-files theme song mixed with the smell of summer was simply scary to me. eventually I convinced myself there was potential I could be abducted by aliens. I read stories about kids who said they were abducted and it freaked me out more. I would not sleep with the windows open. to me that was the only way the aliens could get me. levitate me out of the window and I wasn't about to let that shit happen. Flash back to 6th grade camp, it was so fucking hot in our cabin, we had the shitty one but every night after everyone was asleep I'd run and shut all the windows, or as many as I could. If they were going to get me anywhere it was at the camp, it had a lake and everything. prime abduction location.
after awhile the heat got so bad that I said fuck it but stopped sleeping. when I stopped sleeping I realized that the other cabin was planning a late night attack on us. I woke my friend and then we organized the rest of the gang. took them down. they totally tried to get in through the windows! they had to hug some trees or some shit. after that aliens didn't have the power they once did. Aliens freaked me out.
Not Existing Anymore freaks me the fuck out as well.

Well I'm still afraid of the dark. :-[
I also remember when I was little (I was about 5) we watched Gremlins and I think there was this one bit where the gremlins come out of the toilet (I could be wrong, I don't remember it all that well) and I was afraid for ages of flushing the toilet (I still did it obviously but I just had to psych myself up) for fear a gremlin would jump out at me!
;D
Sticky..........
........YOU ARE FUCKING NUTS!
Did anyone ever tell you that before?
I'm afraid of dying too.

amen
i am afraid of:
bees/ wasps/ hornets
indeterminably deep water
large machinery
snakes
heights
greatest fear:
being buried alive
I would have to agree with the death/non-existence thing. Also, snakes and spiders give me the willies.
I wouldn't say that I am necessarily afraid of them, but I think that clowns are stupid.
bears

yeah that would suck. where I work I'm surrounded by mounds of paper, all day, everyday. It just stares and me, sometimes a corner will be sticking out and I'll cut my arm on it walking by. It could easily be my eyeball one day. thanks for instilling a new fear me.

I'm also afraid of dying. And failing in life. And not being the person I want to be. The shitty thing is that I'm 28 and pretty much think about this shit constantly. I realize that it's normal for people my age, Saturn return and all that jazz. Does it ever stop though?

no it doesn't
1. Running out of whiskey
2. Having a dream that I'm falling that doesn't end.
3. Poppin a boner and running out of skin
4. See above
Quote1. Running out of whiskey
I actually had this happen to me once. It was horrible.
Getting a boner during a prostate exam.
Farting during sex.

3. Poppin a boner and running out of skin
Yikes. :o ;D
It looks like someone needs to start a boner/hard on/stiffy fear thread here.
Am I the only one afraid of Chuck Norris? You guys are hard!

no it doesn't
it gets worse...then the fear turns to regret..then more of your friends/relatives/parents start to get sick or die/not to mention heartbreak/divorce/then eventually all our bodies deteriorate, we forget things, eventually we'll fear technology until we'll become recluses in our own houses..until we wither away and die.
but hey,
TODAY WE WOKE UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DIRT. so live every day to the fullest because life is short ;)
ps-i fear crumbling infrastructure..deju vu this was under meg's wierd phobia thread months ago i think...

QuoteI would have to agree with the death/non-existence thing. Also, snakes and spiders give me the willies.
This is basically exactly what I was going to post. Snakes scare the shit out of me. Me and my cousin helped his family move a couple years ago in NC. They had this unassembled playset sitting in this long grass for who knows how long and his stepdad told us to move it and said watch out for snakes. Of course, we move it and theres 2 snakes about 4 feet long under there, looked like Copperheads of some shit. My hand was like a foot away from one. Ive stayed far away from snake-zones ever since.
Most spiders that I see dont scare me, I kill them, but giant spiders or jumping spiders do. Or any spider that is bigger than an inch or so.
Dying doesnt scare me, but getting old does. Been thinking a lot about getting old lately. Being even 40 sounds terrible.
Quote1. Running out of whiskey
I try to never let this happen. Sometimes I tell myself its alright, but then I end up getting to the liquor store 10 minutes before they close. You never know when shit going to happen or when you change your mind and want to get drunk. I always have a handle of Evan Williams within reach

haha, hey Ruckus I've had dreams where I'm afraid of other penis but never my own personal penis. That must be an awkward situation when you dream about it. Is there a scenario to the dream or is it just like "whoa I'm dreaming, my boner is getting huge... "wake up-?
haha, I never thought one of a dudes top fears would be his own penis. Strangely enough in a lot of ways I can understand the logic behind it.

don't you guys have a mejier's or something near you? that shit's open until 2am. at least in michigan that's the cut off hour. 24 hours and sells booze until 2am. you guys should move up here, there is so much whiskey. It's fuckin everywhere.

yeah dude, getting old is going to blow. hard. I hope at the very least I don't get Alzheimer or dementia. the last thing I want to do with the last years of my life is be trapped in a bad nightmare.
I have a recurring nightmare about college. It's my senior year and it's almost the end of my final semester. I realize that I haven't been to an English class all year. I think that I can still pass if I show up for the final but I can't figure out where the classroom is. I'm just wondering around campus with the complete terror feeling and it goes on and on and on. Thank goodness it only happens about two or three times a year.
A week or so ago, I had a nightmare that all of the oil wells in the gulf started breaking up and ridiculous amounts of oil filled the gulf. It was so bad they thought it might actually end life on earth as we know it. I woke up sweating and breathing heavy, gripping the sheets like I was hanging on for life. It was fucked up.
So besides those nightmares, I guess just sharks. Definitely sharks.
QuoteGetting a boner during a prostate exam.
Farting during sex.
OK, I kinda fear the first though I've never had a prostate exam. I was out for my colonoscopy but I hope I didn't. It never happened if I don't remember right?
As for the latter, you can't fear something that happens all the time can you? I mean a sex fart can be good sometimes. Right? [smiley=happy.gif]

This is weird. I have a similar recurring college nightmare. The only difference is that I'm in my last semester. It always involves either an English or Math journal. I keep procastinating in keeping up with the journal until the end of the semester and by then it's too late.
Sharks, too. Jaws fucked me up pretty good.

sometimes i think that would be better. if i'm old and decrepid, i really wouldn't want to know what was going on. it's heartbreaking for the family, but for the person involved, it would be easier than watching your body and health deteriorate, full blown alz or dementia, you'd be off in la la land

I have those same school dreams too, but it can be set at any time in my life, even middle school. Crazy!
I was thinking about all of the deep sea wells too, and the fact that eventually they all WILL fail someday and nobody will be around to plug them up. Great.
I had a colonscopy last week, and now I'm wondering about popping a boner when I was out...the nurse was pretty attractive. :-[

all depending. my great grandma has Alzheimer's and my grandma has Dementia. Alzheimer's seems far worse, my great grandma doesn't really even talk anymore, it's more of a squawking noises.
She thought her front porch was her bathroom. Has mistaken me for her dead husband. Has mistaken me for her son. Has been suddenly, for absolutely no reason afraid of me. It's fucking weird.
my grandma who has dementia is just really quiet. almost like a 5year-old who is really well mannered. sometimes she seems like she might know what's going on but I don't think she really knows a lot of the time. she fell over a dog and broke her hip and stuff, totally sucky. she didn't remember breaking her hip, she didn't even realize she was in a hospital. all she really cared about was her candies. she loves candy and would probably pound a box if you put it in front of her. she was such a sweet lady who took care of her mother when she was old, it's just a bummer situation, plus its passed down through the generations so one day if I make to my 70's-80's I might be out on my porch taking a shit thinking it's the fanciest bathroom I've ever seen.
OR I could be trapped in hell and become a complete psycho. The possibility of crazy shit I could do while not in my right mind scares me more than anything. Who knows what I'm capable of when I let my brain completely take over. Scary stuff.
if anyone is alive in 2068ish and hears a story about an old man walking down the street masturbating it's probably me so look me up and play me some MMJ. music is one of the only things dementia people remember. music is important for the soul quite literally.
alzheimer's is actually a form of demetia (the most common form), and there's 7 different stages/degrees of alzheimer's so it all depends how bad you gots it too
"don't you guys have a mejier's or something near you? that shit's open until 2am. at least in michigan that's the cut off hour. 24 hours and sells booze until 2am. you guys should move up here, there is so much whiskey. It's fuckin everywhere."
...and in response to this, wine and liquor are only sold at state stores in Pennsylvania, which close at 9PM. Some grocery stores are finally selling beer though actually, so I guess we are slowly moving on from our Quaker roots

9pm?! yikes.
as for my grandmothers they act completely different. I know it has to deal with protein build ups in the brain or something. if they have the same thing it's odd how different their symptoms are.

sharks - i'm not even comfortable seeing them @ an aquarium where they're behind, like, a 3ft thick window. they swim by all slow & just stare @ you with those cold, dead eyes...
clowns - they're wearing all that crazy makeup & you can't see what they really look like. it's creepy & makes me uncomfortable. plus, i think there was an episode of little house on the prarie with some dubious clown behavior.
the flying monkeys from the wizard of oz - absolutely terrifying. i didn't sleep for days after seeing that movie for the 1st time.
falling thru a manhole/those basement doors in sidewalks - i don't step on them if it can be avoided. i prefer to go around them. not really sure why apart from knowing it'd really fucking hurt!

Whilst working there years ago, a colleague of mine fell down a manhole in Bangkok during the rainy season. It was the middle of a downpour, roads and pavements flooded and down he went. Broke his leg, but managed to stop himself from going down completely by putting his arms out. You really don't want to drown in a Thai sewer. It freaked him (and all of us) out. Plus, when it rained like that, there were all sorts of snakes swimming around as they were washed out of their holes...
My fear is to fall through ice and drown trying to find a way back up.

Melbourne: Experts in Australia have expressed their fears that a full-scale alien invasion of the Northern Territory is about to take place.
Though astronomers and police say the flares seen across a 360km-long stretch of the Top End coast were probably caused by a meteor shower.
But highly qualified UFO-ologists said they believed the bright lights were space ships on a pre-attack scouting mission, and Darwin-based UFO expert Alan Ferguson said the flares were obviously aliens.
"This all sounds like UFO activity," the Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying.
"Meteors usually just flash across the sky and leave a tail. But UFOs will stay in the same spot and wobble up and down and side to side. Fast movements.
"That's how they work," he explained.
Related story: We should thank aliens for our computer screens: Expert
Ferguson said UFOs nearly always came to the Top End during the dry season.
"It may be just that there are less clouds and we can see better. Or it maybe that we're outside more during the Dry," he said.
"Or maybe the UFOs are interested in our military activity. There are always more of them about during (Operation) Pitch Black," he stated.
Superintendent Bruce Porter said police received many calls about the flares at about 9pm on May 25, and even launched a search when they feared a boat was in distress.

"We took this seriously, but the indications are that nobody is missing," they said.
Just last month the NT News reported on how one Territory town's invasion by UFOs had been recorded in the world's most famous museum for extraterrestrial life.
But Superintendent Porter believes the flares were probably a meteor shower.

Quotemuahahaha! this thread is for posting and discussing your deepest darkest fears of past, present, and future. I'll start it out with a story when I was a wee young lad.
At the end of the year of 6th grade, the first year of middle school where I'm from, our entire class went on a trip to "Camp". It was an annual thing all the 6th graders did every year. in 8th grade our class trip was washington D.C. (that was an amazing weekend for 8th grade).
anyway, I watched the movie "fire in the sky" a few months before going to camp. but after watching the movie I had changed.

I woke my friend and then we organized the rest of the gang. took them down. they totally tried to get in through the windows! they had to hug some trees or some shit. after that aliens didn't have the power they once did. Aliens freaked me out.
Not Existing Anymore freaks me the fuck out as well.
Tell Me Your Fears!
Its so crazy you mention that movie. I've been meaning to check this thread out for a couple of days because I knew it would be nuts. I was just thinking about that movie 2 days ago. I couldn't remember the name and its been bugging the hell out of me, thank you! Scared the shit out of me too. I remember hanging out with my dad watching it on HBO all the time while my older brother and sister were at school. I was afraid of aliens for a long time. That fear gradually transformed into a more intense fear of demons, I'm not sure what movie I watched that got me going on that, but it lasted for a long time. I always had to sleep with my back to the wall, I thought they couldn't get me that way. Now that I've grown up somewhat I have gotten over it. Spiders freak the hell out of me. I can handle snakes all day long, we used to have them as pets growing up. They don't even have legs, what is there to be afraid of? Spiders, on the other hand, have 8 legs and those bastards'll come after you. I had to pull a wire through an old crawlspace at work today and I was freaking out the whole time.
There's only one thing (non-boner related) that scares me more than spiders, and that's 'possums. Those are some freaky bastards. If I see them at night on my way home they'll give me nightmares, it takes hours to shake the feeling they give me. To think that one could have a pouch filled with even more little 'possums is insane. I think 'possums are the closest thing on earth resembling zombies. They should make a Resident Evil with 'possums they're that scary. I love animals, and I'm sorry if there are any PETA members reading this, but I will try my hardest to hit a possum with my truck if I see one in the road. It's a good thing it's only 3 in the afternoon, otherwise I don't think I'd be getting any sleep tonight
POSSUMS... Back in high school some buddies and I Would go trapping for Mink & Coones and on occasions we would get a cat or a possum in our traps. The LAST time I trapped we had a Possum that had gotten both front legs caught in our conibear trap and I can still hear its screams to this day. It took about 20 swings of my Louisville Slugger to it's head to put it out of it's misery. I gave all my traps away after that.
That is a terrible story
QuoteThat is a terrible story
I know, I could of probably done it with less swings but I thought he was playing possum ;D

Damn straight. To say they'll take your dna is putting it lightly. More than likely they'll rip all of your skin off to start with. Who knows what they're capable of. If anyone knows, it's Stephen Hawking for sure

Trust me, I woudn't mess with an alien.
By getting along I meant that if they land in the Norhern Territory of all places, some bogan would probably invite them in for a cup of tea and pavlova. If their spaceship broke down we'd probably try to help them fix it. ;)

but what if they were aliens like in district 9? they'd be all buggin' and you wouldn't know what they were saying. For all we know they could be made of methane and explode once their skin touches our atmosphere. they could be made up of weird shit, infinite, unimaginable possibilities.
It'd be kinda awesome if aliens made contact but in the end they'd probably use us as food for their wizzle wozzles.
QuoteQuotefalling thru a manhole/those basement doors in sidewalks - i don't step on them if it can be avoided. i prefer to go around them. not really sure why apart from knowing it'd really fucking hurt!
Whilst working there years ago, a colleague of mine fell down a manhole in Bangkok during the rainy season. It was the middle of a downpour, roads and pavements flooded and down he went. Broke his leg, but managed to stop himself from going down completely by putting his arms out. You really don't want to drown in a Thai sewer. It freaked him (and all of us) out. Plus, when it rained like that, there were all sorts of snakes swimming around as they were washed out of their holes...
My fear is to fall through ice and drown trying to find a way back up.
crazy story about your friend. mark! hope he is ok & not too traumatized - especially w/ snakes in the water. holy smokes that must've been awful, awful, awful.
falling thu ice & drowning trying to find your way back up would be a terrible way to go. i don't even want to think about that...
