Your biggest fears.


Sapper

Recommended Posts

I'd imagine the most popular answers will be Acrcophobes (heights), Aracnophobes (spiders), Thantophobes (death) and Ophidiophones (snakes). But what are your true fears?

My 2 fears are: 1. Having a lame child and 2. Moldy bread. (seriously)

edited for spelling.

True fears? Coming across a dead body while underwater. Or a beheading. I just have a horrid fear of seeing the last expression on a person's face as they gasp their last breath or getting sliced off.

Wierd fears...horror movies with inanimate objects (dolls, ventriloquist dummies) scare the bejesus out of me. To the point goosebumps rise on my arm thinking about it. Deadly Silence scared the fark out of me.

But everyone else is naked ;)

Has that ever actually worked for someone?

It doesn't matter how much I prepared for a classroom speech. I would get so nervous I would be disoriented. To be honest, it was the only reason I didn't go through college or go back yet. The thought of having to do another speech like that makes me not even want to do it.

if you actually want to change that check these guys out... My father in law joined and it literally changed the way he was able to do business.

Not sure, but I am sure some people use it to ease the anxiety. My public speaking resume includes drunken toasts at weddings so I don't know how I'd do in front of a crowd sober.

That's a nice idea. Thanks.

Mine is an odd one. It is only that standing at podium speaking fear. I talk to strangers everyday at my current job. Never had a problem talking to people.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
