What's something you're afraid of? Anything? Confess it all, Right here! Don't say you don't have a fear, or I'll be ticked off. Everyone has a fear. Put it right here!

To break the ice, My fear is cockroaches. <<(UGH!) 

I hate anything that's been in someone else's mouth, except barf. Like chewed food, or spit. But not barf. I'm not scared of barf. I love barf.

A pair of legs walking by themselves.

My fear is cockroaches. <<(UGH!) 

Ditto.
When I was 3, a roach fell on my forehead in the middle of the night. And woke me up. Now I not only despise them, but am scared of them...

I'm only scared of a roach when it #####ing FLIES. Otherwise I just step on the stupid mother#####er.

Otherwise I just step on the stupid mother#####er.

THAT HELPS LOADS LALMOA

Yeah, but it's hard to step on them in the air, so... right.

I'm not really afraid of anything except silverfish. They give me the willies.

Y'know, whilst trying to think of things that scare me, I noticed that I'm having a very hard time and thus I must be fearless.

Well you are from inner city amityville Detroit what, Em.

I have a fear of certain animals mainly.
One's I'm not familiar with that could potentially kill me.

Those things don't scare me because I won't be in a situation to have to fight them. There's no real bear country around here I don't think, and I don't camp in such places. I'm never going to meet a wild lion unless I'm bat##### crazy because I'm a billionaire and I want to wrestle it but I've got a few weeks before that happens.

It's not so much a fear, but I really hate bees, wasps, etc. The humming that their wings make really freaks me out.

I hate most bugs but only silverfish freak me. I would love to erase mosquitoes, spiders, centi/millipedes, and june bugs from existence.

I would second that.

Things with more than 4 legs in general. They're all evil anyway.

I fear dying before the things I love are complete.

I'm phobic of ants. Thats right, it's an actual phobia, not just a stupid little fear. It's a big deal to me.

It all started because I accidentally sat on an anthill in 1st grade and got AMBUSHED. They were ALL over me, even to my hands and neck before I noticed.

And it sucks, because I'm such a nature person. I love climbing trees and sitting in the grass. No other bugs bother me, none at all. Not even spiders or centipedes or flying earwigs.

I can actually imagine that being really traumatic. I would hate to be covered in bugs... though not scared enough that I wouldn't do it for a large sum of money.

Small, creepy things set off an alarm in my head that may last for half a second at worst, but that's about it. Then I just bat at them with my hand lightly so that it gets scared and runs away.

I generally don't like things that can kill with one toxic bite more food than they can eat. Those animals become very arrogant and aggressive in nature and it's like ##### you, we're still at the top of the food chain so run the hell away.

Though one guy who said he was a spider expert freaked out at work once, said there was a really poisonous one in the washroom. I was like "... There aren't any in Canada." Not to him, though... I wasn't entirely certain but I was pretty confident about that. Anyway I go in there armed with a broom and when I finally notice it, it's just this tiny little thing on the ceiling minding its own business. I didn't kill it, but I scared the hell out of it, got it on my broom, and took it outside. It was probably going to die in the cold, but I figured it would find a way.

Anyway you'd have to give me a completely logical reason to be frightened for me to be frightened otherwise.

Not in any order.

1.) Working in Japan.
2.) Werewolves. Don't ask why.
3.) Men approaching me on the street at night. Thats actually some pretty damn scary #####.

I'm not really afraid of any sort of bugs or animals (other than the werewolf thing)... Maybe if the animal is attacking me.

Egyptian stuff.

see Sonic & Knuckles

I fear Naga Jolokia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_Jolokia)

Scoville heat rating of over 1,000,000.
Regular Tobasco has about 60,000.

You touch them and your skin burns.

O.O Dear lord Jesus.

You could kill someone with that.

I'd try it.

I have eaten peppers that have literally HURT me. So yeah... wouldn't go there.



But yeah. Spiders. Don't do em well. And I'd really like to never become retarded.

"One seed from a Bhut Jolokia can sustain intense pain sensations in the mouth for up to 30 minutes before subsiding"

"In northeastern India the peppers are smeared on fences or used in smoke bombs as a safety precaution to keep wild elephants at a distance."

Act 2?

Yes. Act 2.

Yes. Act 2.

And I really am afraid of that stuff, liek 4 serius.

I can't play through the Egyptian level in Twilight Princess, my friend did it for me and I didn't even watch. I tried, and I was doing okay until scarabs started crawling all over the place.

Hah. That level in Sonic & Knuckles was awesome. But it took forever to beat though. It usually took like 8 to 9 minutes to beat, which is really cutting it close with the 10-minute time limit...

Of all things, heights.

I'm afraid of being electrocuted.  And also heights.  Really don't like heights.  I'm also extremely unfond of cockroaches, hornets, wasps, and ants in large numbers (the latter mostly because they gross me out).

I know what you're saying. That's the only level in a Sonic game that I die in because of running out of time.

It takes me like... 3 minutes. And I'm sure you know why.

That bump wasn't conspicuous at all.

Yeah, that level was anger-inducing. I've managed to map a simple path through it though.

Anyway, I share most people's fear of insect thingies (although ants and spiders don't bug me). Hate them.

I also have a bit of enochlophobia. Not fond of crowds.

I couldn't care less about ants, although when I was a kid at my old house we found the most disgustingly massive flying ant nest under my fence and dug it out. That freaked me out immensely. It was like a sea of black wing-ed bastards rifling around in this big hole. We tried to soak them out by us and out neighbours (shared fence) both spraying our hoses at them but it didn't even dent them. I don't remember how we finally got rid of them, I just remember trying to help but spraying at them with my Super Soaker 50.

Spiders just piss me off.

But some really weird bug ran across my floor recently and we had to to put an end to it. I had seen it run (it moved fast) under my couch about a week earlier and thought it might have been a silverfish, but it turned out to be just some other really big and weird grossout bastard. You know the kind of bug that is so gross it's like almost clear and has lots of yuck stuff like feelers and too many legs? It was something like that. Now I'm paranoid there are more in the house anytime I see a shadow or something on the floor in my periph at night.

I see what you did there.

Flying ants would totally piss me off, yeah.

And as for weird insects, I've seen my share. I'm pretty sure people like us are the reason why most insect species go undiscovered. Besides the obvious: They're fugly.
Saw a red bee two days ago. Either it was a genetic mutant or it was almost out of hit points.

It escaped Donkey Kong Country, and it's invincible.

A red wasp got me on the foot when I was 13 and at summer camp. It totally venomed me too 'cause the bite or sting or whatever swelled up and then had little offshoots that ended in other places swelling up. The whole kind of looked like an asterisk with with like, deposits at the ends. I can't explain the imagery correctly.

That bug you were describing, with too many legs, makes me think of a centipede.

If I had to be a bug, I'd want to be a centipede. That'd be a good, short, carefree life of spider-killing. Worth the ugliness. And I'd love to be able to run that fast.

The one time I got stung was really randomly. I wasn't even aware I had pissed anything off, but a wasp or a bee or some random #####er flew at me and struck me behind the ear. I didn't even see what it was. I swatted at the impact, and then it was gone, and I felt sore behind the ear.

I'm afraid of being too damn sexy.

And murky water.

House centipedes.

I know they're benevolent beasts, but still. All the legs...

For some reason, exotic giant red centipedes don't freak me out.

Noise in the dark

Like when its pitch black and all of a sudden you hear something

House centipedes.

My mother has a phobia of those. As a result, it's been ingrained into my being that if I see one, it MUST die.

I've ripped rooms apart chasing them down.

DO NOT tell me I have "house centipedes". That is so not cool. Unless it eats 100% of the spiders (which I KNOW it does not because I recently found a bigger than usual spidebitch crawling on my bed when I was trying to sleep) then it's not enough to allow it here. But the only one I've ever seen is now dead, so I'm going to pretend they don't exist until I see another one.

This whole conversation has me all itchy.

Centipedes? I wouldn't mind 'em. I mean, I wouldn't like the sight of them, but I'm the bigger dude, so if a bastard decided to crawl on me or something I'd just put it in its place. I've had spiders crawl up my face before and that's never really freaked me out.

My room is actually pretty insect proof, for some reason. NOTHING ever gets in.

I saw a zoom picture of a jumping spider once, they're actually kind of... cute. In an "I'm a cold, emotionless killer" sort of way.

Tons of ladybugs were in my room, once, just sitting on the lights...

I have no idea why they only came into my room. We found out how they came in, however. There was this tiny hole in my basement covered by insulin and when we removed it we litterally found hundreds of lady bugs.

That hole has since been sealed.

Covered by insulin?

I would've covered it with testosterone.

Yeah but you're a roid freak!

Insulin's that diabetes stuff, isn't it? >_>

Insulation... it was covered by insulation.

I wouldn't care about house centipedes if they stayed in the dark and behind the cupboard! It's when they come scuttling across the floor or decide to come into the bathroom for a drink of water WHILE I'M SITTING ON THE TOILET that I find I have some objection.

HATE

Centipedes have too many legs to be allowed to live. That and they're poisonous. I hate poison. Mostly in games, but it's crossed into real life. I hate poison.

House centipedes are new to me, though. Never heard of it.

Me neither until now, and I am now paranoid of them. THANKS.

I've seen them a few times in my house.

Cute litte buggers...

When you hit puberty, most of that goes away.

I have an extremely powerful fear of bees and wasps AND LONG HORN BEETLES! :[

When I was younger, I saw a group of puffer mushrooms and I thought they were cool cause when you step on them they release spores and stuff, but I didn't know those mushrooms were growing near a stump that had become the home to a hive of very angry wasps. You was stung like crazy.

I had to go to the hospital afterwards, because my air passages were closing up. YES, THEY MAKE ME DIE, I THINK MY FEAR IS VALID!

Also, the city I live in has the largest number of wasps I've ever seen. And it's bad enough I associate every flying insect as "WASP!!!" so you'll see me flinching a lot outside. That being said, there are some bugs I really like, moths and cicadas in particular. Anyway, my whole fear caused me to do so much research on insects OKAY THE END.

!! I love Lego Robot Comics! 8D

What scares me almost just as much as bees and wasps is...DEAD/SMUSHED INSECTS GACK

Most of my fears revolve around death.

I'm not afraid of death itself, but its timing, and whether or not I've died useless.


I still have a lingering paranoia about planes crashing into my residence while I'm home.


I have a sort of fear/love for the dark and the night. I can deal with the night pretty well, but if there's artificial darkness, I sometimes just can't handle it.
