I have an undying fear of RATS!!!!
I've only seen them on television, but, a story here holds...
...a mother was cleaning her home and due to the vacuum cleaner she could not hear her baby crying. When she turned off the vacuum, she heard the baby and ran to see. She found a rat in the bed nibbling on the baby's arm. Now I am not only afraid of them, I HATE them
I have a terrible phobia of rats and mice. I also hate bats. I know bats aren't rodents, but they fall into the same category with me. I have a friend who was bitten by a rat, as a child, and she still has the scar on her eye. Could you imagine a rat feasting on a baby's eye! They are evil little bast**ds.
Uh-oh! Someone's likely going to come along and say, "Hey Davina, I like rats, and I have them as pets, and I let them sleep in my bed!"
Not me by the way. I kill rats and mice when I see them, or I sic the cat on them.
when i get banned from any website. i have been limited 15 times by paypal but i always came back with a bang
Sharks and Sting rays. Ive yet to encounter a shark in the water, but I have seen them drift by shorelines nearly every year...I cringe because I snorkel a lot, and think one day I will see one up close and personal. Also sting rays because I do see them a lot, and they look evil. I snorkeled the shoreline shell hunting once, and a big sucker, seriously with a width of about 4 feet was right at the waters edge hidden in the sand. My dumb arse was right over him w/o realizing it till I spotted the things evil eyes looking up at me through the sand. My heart sank, and I thought I was going 2 die! It sensed my fear, and sprang up leaving me in a cloud of sand. I thoughtd Id end up like steve erwin.
Interesting, that's my greatest fantasy.
I like hurting people! Wait, do you mean physically or emotionally? I usually attack people emotionally- when they deserve it of course.
I am terrified of Thunderstorms, then again slugs rank right up there as well.
I like thunderstorms a lot! Years ago I would sit by the window and count the seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound. It's supposed to give you an indication of how far away the strike is or something.
I do not like slugs either. Sticky little tree frogs irk me, too.
Davinagirl,
I hate mice and rats, too. I hate those evil little bast***s, too. ;-)
Anti-Valentine you are a hoot. :-)
I was just talking to someone about that the other day. Wait, you're not eaglekiwi's alterego are you?
Well I love Sharks and worked with them in the marine lab. I had a pet mouse named Bojangles. And I fed stingrays at a park in orlando. So... my greatest fear is losing someone I love.
Thank you Misha for that observation. I missed that one. I guess it must be a hot topic for it to be so popular. :-)
My one and only fear is that I'll exceed all the great film directors like Scorcese, Raimi, Zemeckis and Spielberg; who I've come to admire for years. The mere thought of it gives me nightmares.

My fear is dying before being able to accomplish all my goals I've set out in my life: I want to become the First Lao Novelist.

I have a love/hate relationship with Florida, where I live, and that's OK. I particularly live near Brandon, a city near Tampa.First of all, there are setbacks to living here. The hurricanes, thunderstorms (I moved from the Northeast, North Jersey to be precise, and storms are slightly less common...

I believe that it's better to face your greatest fear and fail than to never try to face your fear at all.

You may or may not have a greatest fear of anything. A lot of people do. I have set up a survey hub for all those who would rather NOT post that publicly. But for those of you who don't mind, post away.I guess if I had to put anything at the top of the list, it would be a fear of failure at life....

We all have phobias without exceptions, but the question is, how do we generate them? Some people are afraid of spiders (Arachnophobia) but others don't, some are afraid of funny things like fear of number 13 (Triskaidekaphobia)! Why is that?
