Things that scare the sh*t out of me!

Now, I am not a person that's scared of spiders, snakes, bugs or things like that.
But this picture got me thinking...

It's a giant jellyfish washed up on shores of Tasmania. I hate goddamn jellyfish




Is there something that you are afraid of?

Spiders  i hate them small and large,pictures or toy spiders.

I don't like the snakes. Every time i'm in the forest, i look cautiously my every step i've made, because in our ds a lot of snakes and other scary creatures 

That looks creepy lootva! I'm terrified of spiders. It's silly but I'm freaked out by them. I also have a phobia  of small spaces. Just thinking about it makes it hard to breath. I was watching a show on TV where they explained how magic tricks worked and they had the assistant disappear from the box and showed where she hid. It was the tiniest little area and I was so disturbed.

Wow i never knew jellyfish could get that big. That would scare the daylights out of anyone! My fear is mice! Dunno why, i keep trying to tell myself they are more afraid of me than i am of them. Could be the way they dart in and out so fast and you never know where they are lurking! And rats........that's even worse!

That's a huge jellyfish! 

Bees and wasps and anything that buzzes scare me and of course spiders - in fact any bug.

I think that spiders/bugs and snakes are the usual suspects!
I wonder why people are afraid of them. Is it a fear that we somehow learn (from the parents or while growing up)?
Never had the idea that jellyfish can be so huge... And what's with those kids poking it... I've seen horror movies starting like that!

          I'm not crazy about spiders and since we're being semi-anonymous here I'll go out on  a limb here and tell you I still don't like the dark, or as they say it's what's in the dark...Don't laugh dammit !  Okay I digress,  mice?  really Lips?  Okay Big-ass Chicago Sewer rats I can understand that.  By the way,  if that freakin' jellyfish
looks like that on shore,  how big was that 'sumbitch in the water.  I mean I love Foster's seem cool enough but Dayum     If I ever vacation in that part of the world I am NEVER going in the water.  I mean you got freakin'  "Jaws" and his friends patrolling the island,  then you got Croczillas inland in the rivers and what not.  Oh don't even get me started on their arachnid problem....
Sorry  Lootva,  I had too much coffee and Bongo's on a roll......

Snakes i can deal with. The dark i have a night light for (really i do) i can even disarm a mugger. Spiders even if they are the size of a dust mite i will run screaming y head off  .

For me it is spiders too, snakes if they are poisonous, but i could probably hold a snake, and i hate flies - bees - wasps, insects i hate too, but im scared of spiders

That picture looks odd Lootva, but thanks for sharing it nice thread too

Holy moly, that is a huge jellyfish. They say pee takes the the burn away if you got stung by one, talk about a golden shower if that thing stung ya!  . My fear is alittle off the wall but I have a fear of aliens.  I think it's more of a fear of the unknown. Imagine something coming and taking you away and doing god knows what with you. I will never watch any movies, shows, or even talk about anything in relation to aliens!

I think it is mostly the fear of the unknown... In some cases, combined with bad experience. Anyway, I think that still, bugs, snakes, mice/rats are mostly what people are afraid of. At least when animals are in question.
Dark? Well, I don't know any kid that wasn't afraid of the dark at some point. Sometimes that fear sticks, and you just can't get rid of it no matter what...

Here's a list of interesting phobias: http://www.nursingdegreeguide.org/2010/100-weird-phobias-that-really-exist/

I will just put a few of them here

Venustraphobia: fear of beautiful women
Ablutophobia: fear of washing or bathing

Now, I've seen and heard some weird things, but this list is really something...

Wow, that's a big jellyfish. Sponge Bob and Patrick would be proud to catch it.

I'm afraid of things that I don't know where they've been, like cockroaches or flies, too. . I don't want them to touch me,  I will gladly kill them though I'm not sure whether it's possible to kill a cockroach; you really need to smash them good. 

I've heard also about the peeing medicine, also when you step on the sea urchin...
Happened to me once, it hurts like hell, and everyone I asked told me that the peeing does help. Did take for a few months to have all the pins out of my leg...
