Default fFEAR!!!!!!!!!!

What are you afraid of????

I am afraid of the things that aren't "out there". Things that do not exsist. Watching a horror film alone in my house at night with a big garden behind me that has lots of hiding places for all manner of gruesome creatures with fangs, horns, and ned human blood to survive..
I had a doppleganger experience a few years ago. That didn't scare me at all.

I am afraid of being on the show Fear Factor.

Seriously,though.I've actually been thinking about all day. So,I suppose if I'm really afraid of anything,...then it is that I might become complacent and forget everything The Lord has done for me and like a dog, return to my own vomit.

Religion: Catholic. But what do I know?
Default Re: fFEAR!!!!!!!!!!

I'm claustrophobic (a cousin of mine once rolled me up in a rug), as well as acrophobic (can't go past second step on a stepladder). I'm mildly agoraphobic -- fear of large open spaces, like prairies, farmland, or (especially) open water. I have a fear of bees/wasps (melissophobia/?sphicaphobia?) that comes and goes, and once became so intense it developed into a fear of dandelions (leontodonophobia?).

Them's my phobias.

Actually, overall, I seem to be a bit of a chicken.

I also sometimes fear I am not doing enough of the Lord's will. (reasonable fear)

I also sometimes fear -- what if I'm wrong? (unreasonable fear - get thee behind me, satan!)

Oh, if you can't read part of the above, it's very small and in "lemon chiffon" colour...

Someone hurting my children.

Aside from that, falling into serious sin, or causing a car accident...or a house fire that I can't get my children out from. I try to use my fear to come up with plans of action.

Interesting question. It took me a while to think of anything I might be afraid of. I don't usually feel fearful-thanks be to God.
