Mind you that this
list varies in order for some items depending upon the situation, the size of
the issue/animal, and if someone else shares my fear (in which case I find that
I have to muster up courage to fight the obstacle. We can’t both be
incapacitated).
1.) Spiders
They are creepy and
crawly with eight legs and they always know where to find me. Read my next blog
to understand what I mean.
2.) Needles
To show you how
much I hate needles let me tell you, the reader, that when I was younger I
overheard mum and a doctor talking about having to give me a shot. Well, the
moment I heard I took off out the doors to the building and into the parking
lot where there was traffic driving around. Almost getting hit I turned on my
heels and climbed the only tree available but I wasn’t fast enough. Mum grabbed
me by the ankle and pulled me down. I was terrified! I hate needles. I even get
weak in the knees at hospitals.
3.) The dark
I think my fear
comes from the fact that I can’t see anything. I used to have my TV playing all
night to keep me company and now I’m married and thankfully I have a person in
the bed with me now. But the mind is a terrifying thing and it comes up with
some of the most horrific things. It doesn’t help when you grow up seeing
things and you believe that there is more out there then what you can see.
4.) Zombies
Call me funny but I
don’t like the thought of turning into something slowly decaying nor being
chased after by a decomposing corpse. And thank God to whoever decided to place
signs up whenever they are filming a zombie movie saying, “Do not shot the Zombies!
They’re actors.” And God forbid if I watch a zombie movie. I’ve been known to
wake up from nightmares where my family is taken. It’s just sad. No one wants
to watch their little brother be taken. So I’m scared of zombies.
5.) Dogs
No matter what
people say I have a fear of dogs. They just don’t like me! I have been chased,
bitten a couple of times too many, and growled out. My husband is loved by all
dogs and says they can smell my fear. Well, heck! If they would lick me first
before growling I might be okay, but they don’t. So until the day that happens
I’m going to stay scared and packing a gun. Sorry, but protection first against
anything that poses a threat.
6.) Large crowds
I need breathing
space. In a large crowd I suddenly begin to sweat and need to rush away. I’m
suffocating. This is about the point when Shawn takes me in his arms and makes
me closes me eyes or he pulls me away to a quieter corner where I can get
myself together.
7.) Being alone in
an empty house
When I was younger
I saw things. I listened to boxes moving under my bed, the feeling of someone
in a room with you, and then finally I saw more than just a few shadows. So
being alone in any home isn’t at the top of my list of favorite things.
8.) Trespassing
My husband likes to
walk onto another person’s property and go walking in the woods. I like it to
an extinct, but he wants to travel miles. I hate the thought of going too far
in concern we’ll get shot. There are hunting leases around and I don’t know all
the neighbors. Living where we do there are a lot of woods and animals. I panic
and always wonder, “what if you get lost?” or “you get shot?”, but I’m a very
overly protective person and I’m always thinking the worse. It bothers me so
much that I could have a panic attack over the matter.
9.) Drowning
Who wants to drown?
Honestly. I can swim just fine I just don’t want to go where I’m drowning. I
don’t want to be aware of my demise as I struggle to get oxygen when there is
none.
10.) Open water
Call me silly but I
can’t stand the thought of Open Ocean or even rivers sometimes. I keep thinking
about the movie Jaws or Lake placid. I mean come on. Being dragged under the
water or having limbs remove isn’t so great a picture.
These are just ten
things that I’m scared of and though there are other things that freak me out
these stands out the most.
Thank you for
reading.
