what are you scared of?
what scares you or used to scare you?
i am afraid of large insects and spiders. i dont mind the small ones but once they exceed 1 inch i must destroy them. i dont like spiders regardless of size.
i used to be terrified of dogs because i was scratched my a stray my dad brought home when i was a baby. i would freak out at the sight of most dogs until i was 11, 12, maybe 13 at which point i started to develop a persona around dogs which basically told them "you leave me alone, i leave you alone". now i dont mind dogs, specifically the smaller breeds, for a few hours but i still dont like them.
i'm not afraid of them but i get nervous around girls. i have no social skills, which doesnt help. i blame my sister, she is pure evil but what sister isnt

Drowning. I am an extremely good swimmer, I free dove off the Florida keys last year to catch lobster, I had a job at a marina in California where I dove down to get stuck anchors, and I can swim pretty quickly... but I am still TERRIFIED of drowning, something about all that water underneath me gives me an uneasy feeling.

Long hallways always give me a shiver down the spine.
Especially if there's a mirror at the end and I'm walking away from it.
Needless to say, The Shining still scares the pants off me to this day.

Right now I'm most afraid of the stairs in my garden. The garden is split level since it's on the edge of a steep hill.
The wooden stairs have completely rotted away on the inside so they're hollow. Carrying a 60lb lawnmover up and down them really is scary. I fell through the 3rd step a few weeks ago. Really need to get that replaced.

-Having the plane I'm in break apart in flight, or be involved in a midair...can't imagine what went through the minds of people who died that way- spending the last 90 seconds of their lives falling and falling, watching the earth spin round and round ever faster, houses getting bigger, lots of wind noise, g forces, cockpit alarms going off, random voices screaming and crying, all while knowing the inevitable is coming.....(not scared of flying, just the idea of that scenario)
-Alligators
-Being the victim of a frivolous lawsuit

Big government,
Being the last rebel to fly the confederate flag and know what it truly means,
bugs,
people losing sight of what really matters in life, and that life is not just about you,
the loss of my guns,
the loss of my freedom,
the loss of being able to protect my self, or my family
the fact that my grandfather served, just for these new kids to throw everything he did for my county out the window for money and to be "kewl."
