I don't normally do this sort of thing, but it looked like fun.

Got this from one of :iconjessijoke: 's older journals while I was creepin' on her page. Hi Jess!!!



[ ] the dark
[ ] staying single forever
[ ] being a parent
[ ] giving birth
[ ] being myself in front of others
[ ] open spaces
[X] closed spaces (this is a controlled fear for me, I tolerate it)
[X] heights (seriously, it's bad. Can't stand on a chair without feeling freaked out)
[ ] dogs
[ ] birds
[ ] fish
[ ] spiders
[ ] flowers or other plants (OOOOOooooooo the scary dandy lion is coming to get youuuuu!)

Total so far: 2

[ ] being touched
[ ] deep water (Mmmm....I'm more worried about the massive animals that live in the deep water to be honest. Whales should be on here. They be scary. Gorgeous but scary.)
[ ] snakes
[ ] silk
[ ] clowns
[X] failure (I don't think anyone wants to fail)
[ ] success
[ ] thunder/lightning
[ ] frogs/toads

[ ] rain
[ ] wind
[X] crossing hanging bridges (shudders)
[X] death (Very much so. It keeps me awake at night)
[ ] heaven
[ ] being robbed (I'd be afraid during a robbery... But I don't wander around wondering if the guy chilling next to me will rob me. It would be hard to make friends with that sort of attitude)

[ ] family
[ ] dolls
[ ] large crowds of people
[ ] men
[ ] women
[ ] having great responsibilities
[ ] doctors, including dentists
[X] tornadoes (We don't get them often in Michigan, at least not big ones, but I think I'd shit myself if I saw one in person.)

Total so far: 8

[ ] hurricanes
[ ] incurable diseases(Not all incurable diseases will kill you... Like Herpes.)
[ ] sharks
[ ] Friday the 13th
[ ] ghosts (I'd be freaked out if I saw one, but it's not really a fear)
[ ] poverty
[ ] Halloween
[ ] school
[ ] trains
[ ] odd numbers
[ ] even numbers
[ ] being alone
[X] becoming blind (No thank you.... That would ruin everything. And don't take my hands either....)
[ ] becoming deaf
[ ] growing up

Total so far: 9

[X] creepy noises in the night (GHOSTS! ALIENS! MONSTER IN THE CLOSET!!! Oh... A guy breaking in... Whatever -grabs boyfriend's AR-)
[ ] bee stings
[ ] not accomplishing my dreams/goals(That would suck, but I'm not afraid of it)
[ ] needles
[ ] blood
[ ] dinosaurs (Ahhahahahahahahaha!!! What?!)
[ ] the welcome mat (Uh...What?)
[ ] throwing up
[ ] falling in love
[ ] super secrets

Final Total: 10

... if you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it "I'm afraid of _ out of 72 common fears..."


If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
If you get more than 20, you're paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal. (<-- That's what they think)
If you get 10 or less, you're fearless.
People who don't have any are liars (or sociopaths)


I also thought it would be fun to list some fears I have that aren't on the list:
- Centipedes (This is another one I can tolerate, but if it's a house centipede I'm gone.... Fast scary little fuckers...)
- Giant sea creatures (Don't get me wrong, I think they're cool. I love whales and stuff like that because they are pretty. But I would not want to swim with one. My brain has a hard time wrapping around something that large being alive)
- Mutilation to the eyes, fingers, or toes (Seriously, any horror movie that has fingers getting cut off, toes getting snipped, or eyes getting gouged is a no go for me)
- Kidnap resulting in rape, torture, and/or death(I worry more about this stuff than being robbed. I would hate to be in that situation)

Andddd that's all I can think up right now. I'm sure there's more.

Oh god out of all of those besides clowns those damn centipedes… I remember camping out in my living room for the summer with my mom only to have them one at a time run flat out across the floor at night. Wonderful things illuminated by the tv darting towards me that scared me so bad I wake up my mom screaming since of course they run towards the person who's afraid of them. First time I came across one though I was reading a book and I happened to glance up to find the thing on my ceiling…

My cousin had to inspire the fear of them living in the sofa cushions so I'm no longer safe on the couch. However, finding out people keep them as pets in their houses I just cannot wrap my head around. *shudder*
