What are your biggest fears?

spiders
being buried alive
drowning
abandonment

Being forgotten. That has always been my biggest one...that I will leave this earth and not have made an impact at all. It's not that I fear I will be thinking about it in eternity, but I do wanna make a difference, and I have a feeling I haven't really done that in my 33 years on this earth. My husband posed this question the other night, and it hit me like a ton of bricks; "In a hundered years, will anybody even know you were here?" I want somebody to know. Does that sound arrogant?

C&K*s Mommie replied: I have several major fears. But since a me & few classmates of mine were talking about it just this morning, it's been on my mind. I have a HUGE fear of palmetto bugs. Another classmate of mine has the same fear and had a shear terror reaction to 4 that were in her home just this morning. Another big fear is of deep water (although I can swim). Any other fears I think I can overcome with my own willpower, such as heights, and creepy crawlies. <<~ I shudder at those things.

lisar replied: Good question

Fears:
1. losing my kids in any way shape or form

2. snakes I hate anything that slithers (sp?)

3. Spiders (I kill them all)

I am still thinking though.

Miranda1127 replied: i don't think i really have many fears. but one thing is loneliness. i don't every want to be one of those old women in the retirement home sitting by the window hoping someone will stop by and say hi that scares me

Jackie012007 replied: snakes... terrified of them. Also dying violently - actually just death in general. I'm terrified something horrible is going to happen to Carly, I still check to see if she's breathing if she sleeps more than an hour!

lovemy2 replied: Being in a head on accident - actually seeing it coming.....

Losing a child

Losing my mother

Snakes

Not being a good mother

amymom replied: I fear my kids being lost.

That comes from my fear of not knowing.
I MUST know everything!
In the many years I have lived, I have gotten beyond not knowing the simple things, but I hate, hate, hate and it causes me great anxiety if I don't know what my kids are doing, who they are with, etc, etc. It gets harder as they get older and more independent.

DillsMommy replied: -Dying
-My children growing up and thinking that they didn't have a happy childhood.
-Spiders
-Being forgotton when I'm gone. especially if something happens while my kids are young, and they don't remember me.
-Lately I've had this overwhelming fear of something happening to Dylan. I don't know why, I think I'm just extra emotional.

DillsMommy replied:
That is very sad. I work in a retirement (assisted living) home, and see that everyday. Most families are pretty good and come to visit several times a week, but then there are some who hardly come at all and it breaks my heart.

StephanieM replied: I have a constant worry that something bad will happen to my girls. It's always there in the back of my mind.

Also, when I'm in an unfamiliar place with someone and I have to go to the bathroom or something like that, I'm always worried that they will leave me or we will get separated. It's really wierd. I'll always tell them to stay right where they are and not move, so I can see them right away when I get back. If not, then I start to get really panicky. I'm not really sure why, but.........

Danalana replied: Yall are gonna think I'm a fruit loop, but I fear what will happen to me when my dog dies. I have had him 9 1/2 years (he's going to be 10 in september), and he is like my child. I serioulsy love that little boy so much it's scary. I've never had a pet this long, and I don't know how I will handle losing him.

Nina J replied: Being alone.

I used to be terrified of dying, but now I'm not. I don't want to be murdered or something, but the whole concept of dying doesn't scare me anymore. I also used to be terrified that people I loved would die, but I'm not anymore. I spent alot of time thinking about what would happen if, or when, my loved ones died, but then I realised I was wasting my time. Thats the kind of thing to think about then it actually happens, not before.

stella6979 replied: This will probably make me sound crazy, but here it goes. I am absolutely terrified that I will be killed by some psycho serial killer and it's such a fear that I find it gets in the way of doing some things. I don't know if it's cause I'm fascinated by the minds of serial killers and read about them constantly or because I live where I do or what, but when I'm home alone, I always have DH's hunting knife close to me. He works nights, so I always make sure to use the bathroom before he leaves, cause I'm so scared to wander through the house by myself and if by chance I have to go while he's gone, the knife comes right along with me. Also, I'm terrified of the house catching on fire. Avery sleeps upstairs so every night, I'm on the couch cause it's closer to the front door and closer to her bedroom.
And last but not least....I can not go near a cornfield. I've been scared of them since I was small and have just never outgrown it. I'm just so certain that those little children of the corn are going to pop out and kill me

lisar replied:
Okay I hated that movie also cause it scared the mess out of. We dont have corn fields here so I dont ever see them, but that movie would have done it to me also.

You are a piece of work...

TheOaf66 replied:
I think ooozing awesomeness is what you're trying to say...don't worry I get that a lot, sometimes words just can't describe me

zdk753 replied: Flying & deep water or more so drowning.

Danalana replied: Hmmm...I loved "The Children of the Corn"
I don't really get scared that a psycho is going to kill me, but I wish Richard would lock the stinkin' door when he goes to bed! I find it unlocked all the time. It's like we're saying "Come on in Mr. Robber or Mr. Killer....we don't mind".

holley79 replied: My biggest fear is heights. Annika decided she liked this HUGE bounce slide and the first few times I thought my heart was going to stop. I think that's about it though.

HuskerMom replied: I'm afraid of spiders and most other bugs. When I was little I was terrified of the dark. Now I'm not too comfortable when it's pitch black. In highschool we'd go out in the middle of nowhere to party at night. Dh and his friend would always tease me and my friends saying that the children of the corn were watching us. Used to scare the crap out of us. I used to be afraid of death but now I think it's more a fear of the unknown. And I've never been a fan of clowns.

alice&arik replied: I have a fear of going blind

I have worn glasses since I was 10, and every year I need a new prescription, I can't see 5 inches in front of my face. But now I am having more trouble reading, so it scares me a little. I would really miss seeing all the colors of the world, I love color, and if everything went black, I would go nuts.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I have a few choice words for you...

Boo&BugsMom replied: Fears...losing my family and dying a slow and painful death

lovemy2 replied:
Jennie I thought maybe you were going to post that your biggest fear is this kid not EVER coming out....

Commmmme Onnnnn baby boy - we want to meet you

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Oh yeah...that one too!!! How could I forget?

PrairieMom replied:
I'm kinda the opposite when it comes to death. I Don't want to go quick. I want to have time to plan and say good bye. As for the pain part, I don't want to die, but I think if I were in enough pain I would just want it all to end, so in a way I think I would be ready /glad to see death come. does that make sense?

jcc64 replied: Cancer- for me or anyone I care about. Watching my dad go that way really traumatized me.
Something happening to my family.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Yep, makes total sense! I think I'm more or less thinking about dying in a fire or drowning. That scary slow stuff. Illnesses and such are ok, but I don't think I'd like to drown or be caught in a fire or something like that. That would be way too painful and slow, not to mention just plain scary.

Old Mom Hubbard replied: My biggest fear?

Growing old and not going for all of my goals.

With children, things may have been put on "HOLD" but it does NOT mean giving up personal goals. I feel I can do ANYTHING regardless of being a woman and regardless of age. I fear giving up trying...(which will not happen as I still have a grandmother left who has been very encouraging to me in this).

I fear being alone without a "better half"...what would I eat as he cooks and I hate cooking! I'd starve!

JUST KIDDING I would not starve I'd simply learn to cook
but I fear growing old and being alone in old age, and giving up things that I want to try to do: writing a book AND getting published, TRAVELING THE WORLD off the beaten path (not those guided tours but really getting into the areas where the real natives of the land live and hanging out with them if possible and truly seeing how so many different cultures live). There are so many things I'd like to do...but one of the things I MUST DO is get to my work here work first, then play...

..so one and all...

Whatever you do
wherever you go
Have a beautiful day!
