Fear Not....Or Do You?

[OregonSteeler]

I'd say my biggest fear is dancing. As stupid as it sounds, I get the sweats just thinking of getting on a dance floor. Zero rhythm, feel like everyone is laughing at me, and definitely avoid it at all costs. Closely followed by karaoke!

I play with snakes, stand on the top rung of a 16’ ladder with a running chainsaw, swim like a fish ( actually got a merit badge for swimming from Asia to Europe), I was a favorite test subject for IV practice in EMT school because I have veins like small garden hoses, I’ve had bands and currently perform with my wife in a duo where I sing and play various stringed instruments so not scared of the spotlight.

I’m not scared of dancing per se and will do so if given enough alcohol. The other thing that will make me dance is drop a spider on my bare skin. I am scared of looking like a fool, hence my avoidance of dancing. Ive not let my fear of foolishness stop me from looking like a fool thousands of times in many ways other than dancing.

I hate snakes and I don't know why... I won't even hit one with my truck because I'd be scared it would fling up under and come slithering out a vent.

100% cold water. Never could swim, think that’s why I love being on a mountain so much, get me away from the water lol.

56 year old me breakdancing on New Years Eve this last one. Just to shock my adult kids who had never seen me do it before.

Yeah public speaking gets me. If I have to teach a class, which I do a few times a year, to more than 8-10 people I get pretty nervous. I’ve gotten better the more I’ve done it but it’s never gone away completely. I kinda think that growing up with 5 sisters who made fun of me a lot messed me up a bit haha.

Biggest fear, 100%, would be being a $h*t dad, and the generational effects that result from that.

Much truth to the generational effects of bad to horrendous parenting.

I don't mind snakes as much as those damn spiders...if a snake has round pupils, it isn't venomous and can go in peace. I can't discern the good spiders.

Snakes, followed by snakes, followed by snakes. I rather deal with G Bears than snakes. Ive been irrationally terrified of snakes since I was a small child. Doesn't matter what kind of snake. I hate them all to the depths of my soul.

How it feels to see a bull hit the ground.

Same, I cannot do it. The more people push and tell me it's fine and just get out there only compounds the stress and fear

I'd rather fight with a giant centipede (my largest in the wild fear) than to get on the dance floor.

1. Tight places. Nope, zero percent.
2. Heights. Nope, I am out.
3. Snakes. Hard pass.

I love snakes, idk why, I've just always thought they were cool. I usually run into 1 or 2 rattlers either archery antelope or archery elk hunting every yr. This guy was particularly pissed off.

I hate flying. I hate not being in control of my own safety.

I cant remember the exact quote but it goes something like "The act of worrying about being a good parent in itself means that you are a good parent."

 

[RuggedYogi]

Being caught in a thunderstorm is my biggest fear.

Genuine question on this one. Do you really feel like you are in more control of your safety with everyone on the road more so than on a plane?

Snakes, I won't even apply for any sheep tags that are from September through mid October.....yeah its that bad.

Animal fears are snakes and spiders. And leopards.

I have a strange physical reaction to being at height (my lower legs actually ache, even if I watch a realistic video, but it goes away instantly when I walk away), but it does not paralyze me. More makes me hyper aware.
