growing up compared to now? We were just talking about Tornadoes at work. I was terrified of them growing up. Now, not so much. I think my biggest fear now is heights. I need drugs/booze for flying and I freak out looking over the edge of a roof top on a sky scraper. I do not want to go out that way. What say you?
-
spiders for both
-
I'm scared of the dark right after watching a scary movie - then & now. (That's why it was so rude to make me watch The Conjuring right before bed.)
-
getting "left behind" in the rapture. grew up with a very religious mother.
-
spiders and heights 4lyfe
-
My dad getting killed on the job. Now that he's retired, probz spiders.

Yes it is. Fortunately I saw that when I as much older; I saw Jaws when I was like 7.

thanks, wacky. it was something I worried about a lot when he was working with the feds. he really enjoyed what he did, but my family is certainly glad that he has moved on to a less dangerous career.

They used to not bother me until I was bitten by one when I was 12. One of the most traumatic experiences in my life...never recovered.
A harmless rat snake bit my finger during science class in the 6th grade. Everyone else was taking turns touching it so I gave it a shot too. Nope.
-
Spiders my entire life. :ohno:
Used to be scared of Tornadoes but educated myself on storms when I was young and learned to love them.

Family dying

When I was a kid it was definitely dinosaurs. My dad took my to Jurassic Park when I was way too young. And then I rewatched it a year later to try to concur my fear. It did not work in the least.
Now I'd say snakes.

i have feared death and/or serious bodily injury for as long as i can remember, and it only gets worse. it's an awful way to live. a few months ago, while walking on the sidewalk, a driver lost control of her car, drove across the sidewalk and crashed into a wall. since then, i have tried to avoid running on sidewalks, and never run against traffic.
last night, i went indoor rock climbing for the first time, and actually enjoyed it. came home, Googled "indoor rock climbing death," and pulled up a story about an EXPERIENCED rock climber from Texas who fell to her death indoors. i might never go again.
when i was a kid, we lived in two different houses. both times, my bedroom was directly in front of the steps. i hated that because i knew i'd be the first (only?) of my family members murdered if an intruder broke in.
read a story once about a person's cruise control not working. instead, the car accelerated, faster and faster, until it wrapped itself around a tree killing both the driver and passenger. to this day, i refuse to use cruise control when driving.
i could go on and on, literally forever, about the things i won't do or never will again; or the way i've avoided doing things i used to enjoy.
my biggest fear is flying, despite the statistics.

:frown: This just described me to a t. Especially the flying part. It never bothered me until my flight to Pittshburgh for the tourney. We hit a air pocket forcing the plane to dive really fast and pop everyones drinks up into the air. I was taking a nap when this happened. I thought I was a goner. Never again.

My great grandmother had a weird thing where she painted a shitload of clowns. They were very good paintings, but my grandparents put them in the playroom, so I was scared shitless of my grandparents playroom.
My biggest fear now is not only heights, but being off balance at heights. That Grand Canyon tightrope walker show was one of the 10 most stressful hours of my life. I lean back in my chair a lot, and sometimes when I'm super tired I feel like the ground is going to give way and leave me falling backwards.

ghosts. First house I grew up in had a bathroom right at the top of the stairs. I would always imagine seeing a ghost staring up at me when I went to the bathroom at night.

Kid: end of the world. In the late 80s a lot of religious loons would talk up the year 2000 and people would predict the end of the world coming and all. They talked about it in church and it just scared me to death. Now I think about it and thank science and reason for making me an atheist/agnostic type so I don't have to worry about silly unnatural nonsense.
Now: just getting old. I worry about Alzheimer's and dementia and living a hollow existence. Snakes too. Poisonous ones anyway. Snakes would be cool if they had charm and charisma, and could hang out like dogs, but they don't.

i used to be afraid of death, as a child. would wake up at night terrified of my mortality. as an adult, i don't think about it. i'm not sure i'm afraid of anything now (i mean, i experience momentary fear at times, but nothing that i think about when not directly confronted with it).

yes, as someone who doesn't believe in an afterlife, death does not scare me in the least. bodily harm scares me tho, cause i don't like ouchies.

I worry about Alzheimer's because my grandma had it. When I forget where I put something, sometimes it kind of freaks me out.

Have you ever seen threads? Makes The Day After look like a rough ridin' Disney movie.
On a related note: Was pretty terrified of air raid sirens for a long time after watching Threads when I was a kid.
As an adult: Me or anyone I know getting liver cancer because eff that crap with a backhoe.

Well duh!!
As a child I was scared of the Jesusy, rapture thing with a time period that was on the horizon.
I understand science can end it at any time, and will. It's more understandable now and less scary.
