Fear meme cuz hige did it

General
[-] = a little
[+] = a lot
[-] public speaking - I forget the statistic, but I think its at least 75% of people list this in their top 5 fears.
[-] staying single forever - It used to be a bigger fear but when I really consider things I'm sure I could get by alright as long as I had good friends around
[-] rejection - when asking someone out I don't so much fear rejection as finding out they're not someone I like much and having to break it off, breaking up is far scarier than being rejected
[ ] being a parent
[ ] giving birth - If I were to give birth I think I'd be pretty freaked out, haha
[+] being myself in front of others - not quite as hard in front of friends, but there are a fair number of things I can't do in front of them, in front of the public my voice just sort of disappears
[ ] open spaces
[ ] closed spaces
[+] heights - when I'm up really high I feel very disoriented and it always feels like I'm being pulled toward the ledge...it gives me this weird feeling like I should just jump and get
[ ] dogs
[ ] fish
[-] spiders - maybe only brown recluse and black widows
[ ] flowers or other plants
[ ] that scary guy...
[ ] being touched - not in my special area!
[ ] fire - fire is too fun to be scary I think
[-] deep water - only because it scares me to think of what could be beneath me that could come up at any time and make me a snack
[ ] snakes
[ ] silk - you can be afraid of silk?
[-] the ocean - for the same reason as deep water, but you also have to worry about being dragged out
[-] failure - I'm better about this than I used to be, I used to not answer questions in class cuz I'd be afraid to get it wrong
[-] success - I think I'm kind of afraid of the responsibility
[ ] thunder/lightning
[ ] frogs/toads
[-] my boyfriends/girlfriends dad - the idea of the interaction in general is a bit scary
[ ] my boyfriends/girlfriends mom
[ ] rats
[-] jumping from high places - same as heights, wouldn't want to jump
[ ] snow
[ ] rain
[ ] wind
[ ] crossing hanging bridges - rickety old bridge, probably would be intimidating but I'd probably do it if I thought it was safe
[ ] death
[ ] heaven
[ ] being robbed
[+] falling - certainly not the most pleasant feeling for me, my least favorite parts of rides are when they drop quickly, just not my thing.
[ ] clowns - creepy at the most
[ ] dolls - also creepy at best
[-] large crowds of people - I'll admit they make me anxious and if I'm around all day I need to take a break from it for 30 minutes every few hours
[ ] men
[ ] women
[-] having great responsibilities - i'm too easy going and lazy
[-] doctors, including dentists - doctors offices have never been my happy place, I have less anxiety about them, but it always makes me feel crappy knowing I'm going to one
[-] tornadoes - pretty scary when you're driving and you can't take shelter
[ ] hurricanes
[+] incurable diseases - this has always been a pretty scary thing to me, especially epidemic, would be the end of the world
[ ] sharks
[ ] Friday the 13th
[ ] ghosts
[ ] poverty
[ ] Halloween
[ ] school
[ ] trains - trains are cool
[ ] odd numbers
[ ] even numbers
[ ] being alone - I like to be alone, but if I am always alone then its bad, I spent too many years being trapped in my own head
[-] becoming blind - that would be terrible
[-] becoming deaf - also would be terrible
[ ] growing up
[-] creepy noises in the night - "oh no, what is it!?!?!?!"
[ ] bee stings
[ ] not accomplishing my dreams/goals
[-] needles - when someone else is using them on me, kinda freaky
[ ] blood
[ ] dinosaurs - haha when I was like 5...although those raptors in jurassic park...
[ ] the welcome mat
[ ] high speed - when I feel vulnerable maybe
[ ] throwing up - scared of it? haha
[ ] falling in love
[ ] super secret
and a few others I thought should be added
[+] letting down the ones you care about
[+] being lost
[+] being trapped even monetarily or symbolically
[+] being completely out of control
[+] doing taxes
[+] parasites - you know they're creepy
I'm gonna tag anyone who reads this but its doubtful that anyone will anyways, but yeah
