Is anyone a prisoner to a fear?

[SuRgEoN]

Myself, I am scared to death of flying

 

[NuclearNed]

Heights are my greatest fear, but most of the time I can overcome it. The irony of it is that I like hiking in high places because it gets my adrenaline pumping so much.

 

[Cristatus]

heights, spiders, dark places, unknown things.... maybe more

i ph33r them all

Computers

[Meractik]

perfection, i fear not being perfect and being seen as a negativity in other peoples eye's and thus i have a big problem with trust and how other people see me specially in the real world which is why i do alot of strange things (such as go all day without eating b/c someone would see me eating and id feel weird, so i save my meals if i bring a lunch or whatever for when im alone) and i seclude myself to only opening up and talking to people online, im also rather paranoid all the time about stuff, although im rather good at ignoring the lame mean people that say silly things on these forums sometimes

Do you smoke the good stuff? It can play tricks on your mind.

What you have is a hypersensitivity to rejection. (Or perceived rejection). There is a name for that, it is called "social phobia". Look it up, read some books about it, the behaviors you describe (e.g., not eating in public, out of concern that people will judge you or look down on you) are classic social phobia behaviors.

ya i figured there was something wrong i don't like to know that im not in control of something so i refused to believe that it is anything i can't fix on my own so im stubborn to the fact that i want it fixed but its damn annoying ot the point to where it interfere's with most day to day activities for me like i get lonely and i feel like im a loner and the only one that matters and have nothing to believe in, want to be my shrink? lol, im gonna bide my time now looking into this social phobia thing

I fear stupid people, trying to conquer it by posting on ATOT.

 

[richardycc]

heights, just even a mental picture of me standing on the edge of something tall(20ft or higher) will make my knees weak.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I fear that my boss will find out I spend all day at ATOT

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I fear that President Bush will somehow get elected to a 3rd term. more of a nightmare scenerio, but something that has a scary premise.

Insanity.
Ghosts.
Aliens.
The Unknown.
Eternity.

that's one of mine, albeit a very minor one

my biggest fear is being lost in an ocean or other large body of water, and vulnerable to large fish ie. whales, sharks. if you've seen Castaway, you remember the part where he is on the raft and the whales are about. That was terrifying for me!

When I was a kid, I was scarred sh1tless whien I found out that the sun would eventually go super nova.

Mydad said he wasn't too worred about it because we would both be dead before it happened

Thunderstorms and lightening
