8 Fears:
There are the obvious fears like losing a loved one, contracting a disease - stuff like that so I'll try to think of ones that are slightly different.
- Disappointing people - I hate failing at things because I have a deep fear of disappointing those around me.
- Clowns - They freak me out!
- Bellybuttons - It's an actual phobia I have. No one may come close to that area, if someone accidentally touches it or I see someone touch their bellybutton, I freak out.
- Ever since seeing Jaws as a child, I am too scared to swim alone. I always picture myself in a sea with a shark swimming behind me.
- As mentioned previously, I am scared of having children and therefore scared of being around children.
- Losing my ability to hear. I love music so there is no way I could handle losing my sense of hearing. So I do have to remind myself to turn the volume down on my ipod at times.
- Not ever being good enough - I think this ties into my fear of disappointing people. I have high expectations set for myself and the idea of not being good enough scares me.
- I am somewhat claustrophobic - I can't even put a polo neck jersey on because when it goes over my face I freak out. It all started in Grade 1 where I was playing hide and seek and got stuck in a small cabinet meant for files. I was in there for probably only 30 seconds but it terrified me.
I'm also scared of clowns. Since watching IT when I was younger. Haha.
ReplyDeleteMy parents wouldn't allow me to watch IT and I've never watched it since I was told it would frighten me too much. Emotionally I am very sensitive when it comes to watching movies - I couldn't sleep properly for over 2 weeks after watching Paranormal Activity :P
DeleteI'm the same - I carry the fear with me long after watching the movie. I have no idea where or when I watched it. I doubt my parents let me though. Haha.
DeleteI should both send you a link of an article I found on BBC, The 10 scariest clowns:-)
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can find it on google :P
DeleteIt really takes a lot to be so honest about yourself and to share it with the world. Good for you! PS What is it about clowns?? They freak me out too! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Charlene :)
DeleteClowns freak me out because I use to have a little clown doll that had 2 faces on its head - the one side with a smile and the other had a sad face - and you could turn it to the face you wanted. I remember the one night hearing a loud noise as a child and when I looked up a beam of light was shining on the Clown's face (which was sad) and it freaked me out. It wasn't some king of mystical beam - just light coming through a crack in my curtains. But it was still weird and its stuck with me. Clowns on stilts are the worst! LOL xxx
Oh my word, that sounds freaking scary!
