What terrifies you the most?

June 6, 2021 9:30pm CST
Last night, I dreamt of drowning into the abyss. It felt real. Well, honestly, I always have this tendency to face my fears or the things that scares me. Doing the things that scares us, help us grown and I firmly believe with the platitude that we should trample our fears beneath our feet. When we go out of our comfort zones, the magic starts to happen. How about you, what terrifies you the most? I would love to hear the resonating sound of your thoughts :)

I fear snakes and spiders. Drowning would be just as fearful for me and suffocation.

@DianneN So Do I, snakes are tolerable, but spiders. Nay! I had this funny story when I was in the bathroom and the spider crawled and stayed at the bathroom door. and Viola! I was home alone that time and I waited for 3 long hours before I came out. I couldn't bother splashing it with water because it might jump off towards my direction hahaha. just plain Arachnophobic.

I would have to say, hights. That's the only thing I can think of. Still hate needles, but that's more an annoyance now, not so much a fear. Doesn't mean I'll volunteer myself to get stuck.

I think most of people have this fear of space and motion discomfort, Do you feel anxious when you are on high places? @kaylachan

I scared of the height that's the reason I am not comfortable with the trekking. I remember we had a mountain near out hostel in the college . Once I ang few friends decided to do the trekking and go to the temple which was at the top. When we started I could not go up much and sat in the middle and asked them I will wait till they come back whereas the others went till the top.

Do you feel dizzy when you are in high places? I mean like, what are the physical signs that the fear is kicking into your system? at my end I started to feel stomachache and cold clammy skin and increase in heart rate

@yendavidber I had fear of darkness but not anymore. I use to imagine ghosts coming out of darkness, even in dreams. But gradually I gathered courage and went into darkness several times.And overcame it. I don't have fear of any animal, neither snakes.I live in a tropical region and many times I have seen snake passing close from while I was alone. but they don't harm you unless you don't do anything to them

Indeed they don't because it is snakes natural instinct to retaliate if they sense an impending danger. Well, I am glad that you aren't afraid of the dark anymore, In science we have this management of phobias, but apparently it doesn't work for me hahaha until now I am still arachnophobic. Or probably I still have this traumatic experience in my head with regards to the spiders. :)

Much as I can, I walk on the safe side. But if there is something that could be terrifying, it's vampires and zombies.

I sometimes get startled by bad dreams and get terrified when bat comes into home.
