Q of the day

What are you scared of and why?

I am scared of flying insects.  I'm not afraid of being stung by them, it's not the pain that's the issue.  I'm afraid of the insect itself.  Wasps, bees, yellow jackets, etc... Even writing this out is giving me the heebie jeebies.

  • Moths (as i child i even had nightmares about them) and steep hills (there's one by my house that is like a roller coaster -- you can't see the road ahead when you crest it ::shivers::).

    Wasps and bees- my Dad is allergic to them and for that reason they just terrify me.  I also hate medium to large crazy looking spiders.  Little ones I can handle.

  • Roaches, rats and heights...I'm not really sure why I'm afraid of these things, I just know that I am!

  • Bugs...pretty much any kind.  Spiders, slugs, grubs, centipedes, stink bugs, and other garden bugs (good or bad).  Funny b/c I really enjoy gardening, but I hate the little 'surprises' lurking.  Now I too am starting to twitch.

    What are you scared of? Any bugs except ants.

    and why? It's an irrational fear... borders almost on a phobia!

  • Eyeballs  Why?  *shrugs* I've always been like this. 

    I have memories of freaking out when kids on the playground would roll their eyes back or flip their eyelids.  I can remember getting queasey in bio class when we studied eyes.  I went with my mom to learn about the lasik procedure before she got it and I nearly passed out.  I don't watch comic book related movies/TV without someone to tell me which scenes are safe because eye damage is prevalent within that genre.

  • I'm deathly afraid of hypodermic needles, or ANY procedure that requires their use. I'm also very much afraid of hospitals as a result. I've had a lot of traumatic experiences over the years involving needles, and I find them very painful anyway, so to me they are absolutely terrifying. I can't stand seeing them, or being around them. I only BARELY am able to tolerate it when I go with FH to the hospital or to see his cardiologist for routine exams. Usually I just take all the fear and bottle it up while i'm there, and then once I come home and things seem to calm down, I just lose it. :/
