Fears are there in many different forms, from very common to a bit odd.
Fear from the Greek: φόβος,phóbos, meaning "fear" or "morbid fear", is a distressing negative emotion induced by a perceived threat. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger. In short, fear is the ability to recognize danger and flee from it or confront it.
My fears are quite common. I think most of them are shared with tons of other people. For some there are even special therapies to overcome them. The pictures I used are all found on weheartit.
One of the most common fears across the world, spiders.
I have no clue how I would react if I'd see that somewhere in my house. Or anyone else's for that matter. Especially the tiny ones give me the creeps. Spiders gross me out so bad!! But for some odd reason tarantulas don't really scare me at all. I even got to pet one and I enjoyed it ^^
Look at that beauty! Sure I wouldn't like finding it in my bed all of a sudden, but I would be less afraid of it I guess.
Okay, another quite common fear.. Heights.
Just looking at this pictures makes me dizzy. I won't ever walk on glass this high above the safe ground! My fear of heights mostly occurs in situations like this. I don't like tall buildings and I don't like not feeling safe when I'm up that high. I do have a problem with roller coasters as well, but only if they are too high for my taste. That is a fear I am willing to get over, I just need the right person with me, to guide me through it. Maybe it's not so much a fear of heights, more a fear of falling? I still haven't figured it out yet.
Another nasty insect!
Oh how I am grossed out by these gross and creepy creatures! Their wings, their size, their heads... Ugh!!
I hate the fact that they just fly around me, as if they know that I hate them. The little ones are okay, in a way that they don't make the shivers run up and down my spine yet. The big ones do! The closer they get to me, the more I want to faint. But you won't see me screaming and running up and down once they're near. I don't do that with wasps either. I won't show them they scare me! But seriously.. those wings!!!
Maybe a little less common fear, but something I am very afraid of.
I am scared to death of losing my voice. Being able to sing means everything to me. I might not be the most amazing singer in the world, actually I know I'm not. But the fact that I can sing my troubles and pain away makes me really happy. If I would lose my voice I'd cry my eyeballs out and get so super depressed I wouldn't ever want to leave my bed. Not being able to talk would suck, real bad! But not being able to sing is like losing myself. And I don't want that happening, ever!
Okay, last one. It's probably also a common one. One not everyone might like to talk about.
I am really scared of death. Whether it's dying myself or losing more people, I am really scared of it. I've already lost quite a few people in my life, most of them still too young to die or not ready to go yet. But the fact that I could die without really living my life, without feeling happiness... That's unbearable. We all know death is the one certain thing there is to life. We also know that therefor you have to make your life worth living so you won't have any regrets when the time has come. Life might be a bitch, death is way worse!
Now you know my biggest fears. I have many fears, too many maybe. But I will not and cannot list them all here. I am really curious though.. What is your biggest fear?
