Hey Pandas, Do You Have Fear Of Something? (Closed)

Hey! I know everyone has a fear of something in their life. Do you want to know that how we can face this?

I have worked hard to overcome my fear of heights. It is just small areas up high in the sky I fear. Or if I can't see out, like elevators. As dumb as it sounds it always scares me. I, again, have worked vary hard to over come this.

I HATE ELEVATORS!! To make things worse, people like to tell their 'trapped in an elevator' stories while in the elevator. "Did I tell you about that time i was stuck in an elevator for an hour and a half?" NO AND PLEASE DON'T

I used to have a night light for this very reason. My mom used to tell us if we were bad monsters would come and get us. I was so scared of the dark. It still gets me sometimes when I turn of the lights. I tend to just make a run right after I turn off the lights

I'm Trypophobic, which is a fear of holes, or a pattern or cluster of holes. Certain foods with seeds creep me out, like sliced tomatoes or honeycombs. When I was younger, I had a pimple on my back that got infected, so I had MRSA. The doctors had to cut it open, and scoop out the infection, so I had this abscess that was about 2 inches wide and 3 inches deep. I had to go to the doctor every other day for about 5 weeks so they could change the dressing and pack in gauze. It was very painful and unsettling. If I have a pimple or cut I'm very uneasy and worried about an infection. I've gotten better over the years, but certain patterns still creep me out.

Yes, losing my love early in life, living without love throughout my life, and finally getting that love back again now that I am old has put a great fear in me. For almost all of my adult life I never cared if I got in a fatal accident, developed a terminal illness, even failed to wake up in the morning. I never worried I would die - it held no fear over me. All of a sudden with such happiness in my life I AM SCARED TO DEATH that I will lose it!

(No offensive I really don't want to come off as rude or inconsiderate) I don't like snakes either. I really don't like venomous ones. I don't necessarily fear them, but I dislike them. I will see them and be like "ew, I don't like you". I have seen them on camping trips (three times) and I just kind of walk away. I have found some garden snakes at my house and I just decapitate the with a shovel. Then I bury them. I only do it so it does not cause trouble for others and so my dogs don't get it. (We have two rat terriers and a bossie). Once you see them enough it lessens the fear of them. Not all are bad but not all are good. 👍 (please don't hate or downvote I don't wanna get banned)

Tell me more about Flordia please. I know about the sharks though. My mom made us watch a lot of shark week before moving to here. (Texas to Flordia) We literally just moved here Wednesday. Idk much about this state, but my dad grew up in Stewart. (Don't know if I spelt it right.) And I know that there is DisneyWorld. (We went there about a year and ½ ago.) But other then Pensacola that is it.

Just get inside when you hear thunder. FL is the lightning strike capital of North America and there can be thousands of strikes in an area during a thunderstorm in just a short time. You don't know how many times I've heard of people getting struck by lightning down here. Even when it's sunny and you hear thunder, get inside. Lightning can strike you from 10 miles away. I would be more worried about lightning strikes than sharks TBH.

The sharks aren't really any worse then any where else. Just know that if you are at the beach and in the ocean, you are in their home. As for non-clear water- stick to pools for swimming (in my opinion) you never know where a gator will be living. Also , be careful walking animals close to waters edge, because gators are happy in and out of water. sunrise & sunset are their most active times . They have been known to block traffic , even one major roads(it's kinda funny) & once my family had to wait for one to stop peeing to finish crossing the road! Unfortunately, right now it's beyond super hot & super humid! There's sooooo much more I could tell you, but Google "things to know about fl" or something similar. It's not all bad, just unique 😊

I understand being made fun of really sucks. It's incredibly hurtful, and I also used to live in fear of that (quite a while ago). Just try and remember this: you are NOT what someone else says you are...if they insult you or make fun of you, it's not the truth. Only you can decide who you are. Anyone who hurls hurtful insults at another is simply revealing their own shortcomings. There is only one of you in this entire world, and you should be proud of that, no matter what anyone else says. ☺️

I’m deathly terrified of centipedes and moths
THEY’RE LIKE LITTLE JERKS THAT JUST WANNA RUN INTO MY HAIR OR FACE!!

And my mom and I joke saying that I’m scared of centipedes bc when she was pregnant with me, she woke up screaming bc a centipede crawled across her face.

Just a few weeks ago I was emptying the dishwasher and I grabbed a spatula without looking and and thought I touched squishy piece of mac n cheese so, disgusted I threw it down, and as it was hitting the bottom tray of the dishwasher, a centipede fell off. I screamed, called my mom over, and she tried squishing it. It scurried into the steam vent for the dishwasher and she grabbed some vinegar, drowned it and said “it needed to be cleaned anyway. Turn the dishwasher settings on all the hot settings and if he’s still alive, we’ll fry that sucker!” My moms the second bravest person I know…

Besides my dad who catches moths WITH HIS BARE HANDS and throws them outside for me :]

This ones going to be hard to understand but ever sense I was little I have been extremely afraid of losing control over my own thoughts and words. Basically I’m absolutely terrified of alcohol and drugs. My parents weren’t crazy with drugs or drinking or anything they are really confused by this since I have no reading to be scared of it. I can’t even be in a room with someone who I suspect might be slightly intoxicated without almost having a panic attack so normally at parties I have to hide because theirs always that one crazy family member or friend. I don’t know what will happen the day I’m told I have to get wisdom teeth removed or something where they have to give me any slight sedative I know this makes me sound crazy but I’d rather die than ever have anything like this happen to me, and if my parents were to force me to get any kind of surgery and get sedated I fear I might kill myself.

Am absolutely terrified of deep water.
When I was four a creepy pedo neighbour up north tried to drown me, my response was to dog paddle out into the middle of the bay.
I had told his mother what he was doing to me and his response was to try to drown me, at first I fought but then gave up, until his sister knocked him off of me, saving my life.
It was this blind panic that sent me desperately dog paddling into very deep water.
When I tried to stand, I sank.
Heading into shore, ( when I could no longer see him and his sister on the beach), I was so exhausted I bobbed, taking a breaths in between.
The waves carried me into shore.
I was so weakened I crawled partially out of the water and fell asleep on the sand.
This was the 1970’s, when children were not supervised and could freely roam.
To this day, I refuse to swim out beyond where I can see the bottom and ideally, stay in shallow water 3 or 4 feet deep.
