    Let's see...I have many fears.
    -Scary movies. Why those? I saw The Ring when I was 9 or 10. My mind was twisted ever since and I can't make myself to remember that scary movies aren't real.
    -The dark, only when I'm alone. ^^Thanks scary movies. =[^^
    -bugs. any kind.
    -Claustrophobia.
    -Highways. When I'm on a bus, it's okay, but in a car, I panic once in awhile.
    -Falling. Heights go along with that.
    -End of the world. Especially with all this 2012 stuff.
    -Death.
    -My house catching on fire.
    -Burgulars.
    -Failing at running. Like, I suddenly get really really bad. And even worse, not being able to ever run again. I think that would kill me.

    same, it really freaks me out. I try telling myself that so many people have predicted it and have always been wrong, but so many people say its legit and everything because they predicted other stuff (except their own demise).

    ohhh

    The ancient Maya predicted it. The same people that believed in the werejaguar and that you needed to appease the gods by ripping out beautiful children's hearts.
    I know it's supposed to be phobias, and I have a few irrational ones myself, but chill out about this.

    why should we worry about a prediction made by a civilization that doesn't exist anymore

    good point +1

    Thats what I said previously, sorta.

    I dunno, maybe its the all hype? The end of the world (either by giant rocks, global warming or a nuclear war all freak me out...)

    Haha well it's because this really really...not to be mean, because I hate being mean um...let's see how do I explain this kid...well, very anti-social I guess (aka, no friends, sits alone in the corner, kinda weird) , anyway he was in my art class and was gone from school for like 2 full monthes so he came back and I was like "hey, your back, I thought you left this class. How come you were gone so long?" and he said "well I got crushed by an ice berg so I was in the hospital for a long time recovery..." and he wasn't kidding like at all...he was for real. Shocked lol so anyway now me and friend are freakishly nervous about getting crushed by ice bergs.
    sorry it was so long.
    anywayy...

    I'm prepared to be poor, actually. A long time ago I would've been terrified, but now since I'm older and with the economy in shambles and whatnot, if I lose my house, I'll just bring my trusty running shoes and bike and ride across the country, and if I see a nice place to run, I'll run. I'll be like a new-generation hobo or something.

    I'm kind of scared of what will happen after death. if theres an afterlife or not.
    it might sound stupid, but i've given it quite a bit of thought.

    oh and i've always been scared of losing my sight/hearing.
    also been scared of being diagnosed with a really bad illness like cancer or something.
    oh and i'm also scared that when I have children, they'll come out retarded/deformed.

    I have done this. It was in middle school and it was a pajama day, but I dressed up like I was from the 80's with tons of blush and everything..

    It wasn't as bad as it seemed, but it was a tad embarrasing.
