Thread: What are you afraid of?

Heights is my worst, followed by being raped.

I can't look over a cliff or anything high without my knees buckling.

My car breaking down at a very inconvenient time when I don't have money.

Not trying to sound tough or anything, but few things actually 'scare' me.

I'll admit one thing though...

I'm fine with heights, unless I'm in water... murky water. I've snorkeled in the bahamas, and on coastal BC... but once me and my buddy decided to swin across a decent sized lake and when I was in the middle of the lake and looked down seeing how murky the water was it made me really uneazy. The lake water was soo dark. I could just barely see past my knees, and I was about a 5 to 7 minute swim from the nearest shore and I felt almost like a panic coming... but I just gathered my thoughts and finished the swim.

For some reason being in deep water makes me uneazy, but being high up doesn't... just some wierd fear I guess.

A lake?! Pussy! Just kidding!
Deep water makes me uneasy also, but only if it is an ocean. I know there are no sharks in a lake, or riptides for that matter, but in the ocean there is no telling what the hell is in the water with you! I was swimming in the ocean of Hawaii. Every day surfers are bragging about their encounters with Great White Sharks (I knew that some have them may have been exaggerating). So I am swimming in deep water. Something big brushes against my leg! I calmly freak out. But them a seal pops his head up about twenty seconds later.
Deep water scares me also, but only if it is the ocean.
