F.E.A.R: Not just a game.

[Mistress Darkrai]

Good Lord...my main fear, as wimpy as it seems, is being alone in the dark. Oh, my god. I can't stand it! I'm always afraid something's going to come out and kill me...and, knowing some of the common crimals/rapist of today, they could too! I have to sleep with a nightlight, at my house, and everywhere I sleep at. I'm so scared...even as an almost fifteen year old.

Another fear is any form of bug, bees being the absolute worst. It started when I was about five, and a wasp was caught in my hair. Damn thing stung me on the head...not to mention my worst encounter happened in the lunch room. I was just talking to one of my friends...and, one of them tells me I have a bee on my arm. I looked to the bee on my arm, and fucking screamed so loud, the entire lunchroom heard me.

Other bugs...well...sort of started when I lived in a trailer as a four year old. Found an ant crawling on my face...and screamed.

Same goes for mouses. Five year old, taking a bath...and one waltzes up near the bathtub...

Me: 'DADDDD!!!! MOUSSEEEEEE!!!!!"

My exact sediments. Still fear all of the above today...and I'm sure that makes me a total wimp :(

I saw this documentary once where this guy said he was in bed at night, woke up, and saw aliens at the end of his bed that abducted him and shit
The image of the alien-in-front-of-bed dramatization has been stuck in my head since. I try not to think about it when in bed, but sometimes I just do, then hide under the covers. Creepy stuff, those aliens. And also, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas safehouses. The eerie silence and general atmosphere is pretty unnerving. Also the Bigfoot/Leatherface myths.

 

[Raikizen]

You sir... Know what true fear is. I salute you.

 

[Fuzzberry]

The above picture made me jump! No more surprise scary pictures.

This, please....pardon my ignorance, but what the hell is that thing anyway?

But. Let's see...fears, fears.....I suppose I don't do well with dead things. Most mildly, I'm extremely grossed out by roadkill and whatnot. Most severely, I really lose it when confronted with any kind of human gore, even if it's just staged. Which sadly means horror movies and murder mysteries are a big no for me.

The only other true fears I can think of are those brought on by my mild schizophrenia-- mostly fears to do with a single person in my life whom I almost caused severe bodily harm to a few years ago. I'm scared to death of actually hurting him one day, but moreso I'm afraid he'll cause me to go completely insane. Not fun stuff at all.

Fears really are quite interesting once you begin to investigate them, though.

EDIT: The eel. The big-ass eel. As a child, I hid behind a couch every time I saw that mother.

How come out of the dozen or how ever many pictures that guy put up 2 of them feature a child in her underwear?

I'm sure many people have brought this point up, but if you aren't looking for child pornography or vague sexual innuendo it's pretty easy to reason out.

It is a segment done on "Childhood fears." Also, people have the desire to shelter and nurture children. Seeing a child in a horrific situation such as that, and knowing you can't stop it, causes fear on it's own. Then, thinking that such things could have happened to you, it's whole purpose is to worm doubt and fear into your pretty little skull.

At least, that's my take on it.

 

[Force Majeure]

I'm always scared that I'll be ice skating, I'll fall, and someone will run over my fingers with ice skates. In the terrible dreams I often have about this, the skates are sharp enough to sever my fingers, but in reality they would only cut a bit and crush my bones.

 

[Mr. Hadwick]

I'm still terrified of heights, if I'm open to any drop taller then a story or two, I freeze up, causing me to get really clumsy, probably increasing chances I'll fall,I hate it. I'm also afraid of swimming in deep ocean, but I'm pretty sure that's because I don't know whats under me, I'm fine with lakes, but oceans freak me out. I'm fine with all horror movies, because it's so easy to tell yourself nothing is real *shrug*

 

[CRaZY_IcV]

When i was little i played Mario 64. One night i had a horrible dream that included Bowser And an assortment of Portals. Lets just say I couldn't be alone for Weeks.

Also, I was Horrified by Chaos in Sonic DX: Directors Cut . 4 years later when my brother bought it for the game cube I finaly faced that fear. I beat himwith 4 emeralds and basical went into shock.

Then there is the Aliens that obbduct me Monthly in my mind
Im also afraid that when i was 5 i ate a nail and one day i'll move wrong and my stomach will rip open and my organs will be dissloved.

And the dark. When im trying to sleep.

 

[Repede]

I could never stomach fighting Redeads in the LoZ. I when i first saw them, i thought they were hugging me :3.
Then Link dropped dead.

 

[QuickDraw]

i don't like to lay on my belly on couches or lawn chairs with my legs from the knee down hanging over the edge, whenever i do i can't stop thinking about what if someone just came up and stepped on my leg or tripped and fell on it and broke it backwards.... blegh. other than that i don't really have any irrational fears.

i'm not too fond of murky water either. i went diving in a muddy river and it was not fun at all, i could see maybe 2 feet in front of me.

edit: the first time i fought Ghoma from OoT i was shaking violently during the entire fight. i was 8 at the time though haha. i bought Dead Space because i heard it was awesome but i have to play with all the lights on because its so intense

 

[diinbong]

When I was young I would roll my self up into a ball at night because I was scared that if I put my feet down some kind of with thing would grab my feet.

Right now I don't like spiders, but that's probably considering my room in the basement has them crawling all over. Let me tell you, seeing a spider crawling around in your bed makes you not want to sleep in it. I usually sleep on a couch upstairs needless to say.

 

[SMZ]

I used to be afraid of being alone in the dark, but I concurred that fear few years ago.

I still am (kind of) afraid of heights though.

 

[Max Fightmaster]

If theres 1 thing that creeps me out, its puppets/dolls. I remember once in 7th grade we were doing an essay on a scary story and everyone did halfass stories that they made up. But 1 girl who sat next to went all out and made an entire presentation about this one haunted puppet and brought loads of proof and a video about it. Before that day I could stomach watching a movie like Chucky but now I'm absolutely traumatized about it.

And like Rai, I'm scared of heights. For me though, its more of a feeling that I could fall at any second, especially on flights. Theres just something that I don't like about flying.

 

[Annhialator Zero]

I used to have a fear of exposing my throat, especially when I was on my own, I'd sit with my chin tucked into my chest. I kept thinking I'd be shot in the throat by an arrow, which seemed like an insanely painful way to die.

Also that creature in the image that guy posted with just the mouth is fucking terrifying and anyone honestly not afraid of it is lying.

 

[Vintage]

I was once scared of heights, but I overcame at it a school camp once when we went abseiling, I was scared as hell but once it was over I was fine. After the camp I was no longer scared of heights.

It was pretty fun the 2nd time too lol.

 

[Mobius]

Oh boy...

I have quite a few fears myself, though I manage to get by. My most severe one by far is the fear of rejection. I absolutely despise attending real life social events, and out of everyone I've met face to face (I've been to eight different schools, mind you), I can count the people I consider friends with one hand. The funny thing is, although I freeze up when talking with someone in real life, put a pair of keyboards and LCD screens between me and I can chat for hours on end. Don't ask me why, but I have no problem online, even though I'm very cautious offline.

I kind of can relate to you, while I don't freeze up anymore, I still have social-related problems, and like you I chat better online than in real life (mostly).

I'm afraid of watching awkward situations. Not at all being in one myself, but seeing others in it.

For example, I'm watching The King of Comedy right now and I have to pause every 5 minutes because the movie is seriously becoming absurdly awkward. I also have a hard time watching a comedian bomb, or watching a guy with no game make awkward, romantic advances. When I say I'm afraid, I mean I actually have to look away and mute until the scene passes.

wtf is wrong with me?

 

[Berserker]

This sums up my childhood fears pretty well (not that specific obviously.)

 

[Incarnation]

I'm pretty much 100% sure that someone who isn't afraid of death doesn't realise what death really means. But I also understand that's pretty easy to say for someone who is terrified about the idea of dying. As a kid I could get into a state of complete panic if I got the circle of thoughts running.

Also a little less ennui-ish, Ocarina of Time really was a nightmare-inducing game with stuff like Wallmasters, Gibdos, ReDeads and Shadow Temple in general.

 

[Seargeant Chilli]

What I am amazed by is how the hell they managed to get a girl that age that wouldn't be too scared to do that. Beats me. Anyway, my main childhood fear when I was very young was that a monster would come out of the closet in my room ( I lived in the same house until I was 13) and take me away, so I had to padlock shut the closet door shut every night. It drove my mum up the wall...

 

[Lord Blood]

Always have and always will be afraid of heights, above ground. For some strange reason, I'm not scared of heights if it's above water. Maybe I'm not scared of hitting water? The strange thing with that is, I hate going too deep into the ocean, mainly because of the reason that I can't swim, but otherwise that someone'll pull me under, I'll lose my glasses, and I'll die suffocating from lack of oxygen. The thing wrong with that is that I'm also afraid to die, like sometimes I get like these premonition things that tell me events in the future (may or may not happen), but it's like I think of this stuff and I have to think of something else in order to get it out of my mind.

So basically:

Heights = no
Water = no
Dieing = no

Heights above water = yes

Very strange person I am.
