Re: What are some things that you fear?

I am severely claustrophobic. Snakes. Panic attacks. Flyin' and dyin'.

Re: What are some things that you fear?

I don't like heights, bridges frightened me since I was a little girl. I lived in New York and whenever we went to New Jersey to visit relatives and my father would start to approach the bridge, I would tell him to please stay on the inside lane, the outside lane terrified me.

Narrow curvy mountain roads. Being held down and not able to move or get away. I have had three back surgeries, the last one lasting nine hours. I have been in chronic pain ever since and whenever I see a doctor I have the fear of being told I need another back surgery...not going to happen!!

I think we all have a number of fears, it is quite natural.

piano, most of us have been there done that, and be assured it's not as awful horrible as you may think. the prep is a bummer, and now they've maybe made that easier.

Heights, water, narrow bridges, and winding mountain roads.

Being left alone in my old age. I want to "go" first.

This is a big fear for me! I have no one in my life and I am scared.{#emotions_dlg.crying}

I too have this fear, but I'd also read an annoying quote,,"feeling alone is a horrible thing, until you feel that way when you're surrounded by others". something to think about. don't want to be a downer, but I've often thought about this fear too.
