Fear

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Soooooo, ITT I say we should list our fears, both ultimate and proximal, "rational" and phobic, silly, unusual, and mundane.</p>

<p>I personally get peculiarly uneasy around cockroaches, not so much that I can't handle interacting with them, but more in that I get a wee bit anxious in their presence (for no particular reason). Other things that I'd rather avoid and might get apprehensive about are boredom (as found in the soul crushing repetitiveness of some mindless task) and, eventually, senility, or maybe rather mental infirmity stemming from any and all causes. Most other things don't bother me very much (not counting the usual, of course -- we all probably are a *little *afraid, at least, when we or our loved ones are in danger and the like).</p>

<p>boredom, robbers/gunmen/gangs/thugs/bullies, depression, failure, being caught slacking.</p>

3

<p>not being able to experience the most out of life, failing.</p>

<p>Eeeeew cockroaches are the worst thing of all time. Eh, I am the same way around those disgusting huge moths that have swollen bodies and are disgusting and flap around and woosh by my head and and and <em>hyperventilate</em> LOL. I mean, I am not like.. afraid of them, but I'm always like "eeeeh, moths go away from me please before I die please go away" lol, for completely irrational reasons.
Hm, and of course I'm always terrified that I will actually end up in some horrid parallel universe where I grow up to be "uber rich and famous" and you sell all of our IM logs and make millions, instead of living happily ever after in Canda. That would be teeeeerrible, lolololol.</p>

<p>Or he could just use them to extort the money from you.</p>

Aahaha, as if there's anything in the logs that could be used for extortion! Pfffft.</p>

7

<p>Not doing my best; failure</p>

8

<p>I'm afraid that I will stop being creative and start doing the same boring things day after day</p>

<p>edit: but death is my greatest fear</p>

9

<p>textures with a bunch of little dots</p>

<p>UGHHH</p>

10

<p>Cockroaches. B's (but not anymore). I freak out when I see cockroaches 50m away, lol.</p>

<p>One other day I saw a cricket creeping into my room. I am just as afraid of them as I am of cockroaches. He was approaching my study table but stopped 2m away. I made all kinds of shouting and begging at him (to go away) and he DID go away after standing there for a minute. lololol. I felt guilty for doing that to him as he slowly disappearred into the darkness.</p>

11

<p>Eww cockroaches remind me of those shells bugs shed in August EVERYWHERE.</p>

<p>Grosss</p>

12

<p>Uhg. Cockroaches. </p>

<p>Bad memories of summer vacation at my aunt's in Texas.</p>

13

<p>Potatoes. They are disgusting and repulsive and I have a phobia of being around them and coming in physical contact with them. Even the smell of mashed potatoes makes me sick.</p>

14

<p>Never building a big boat, not going to college because of money, spiders and other stalkish bugs that could be anywhere (did you know there's always a spider within 5 feet of you?)</p>

<p>When my Mom was in college, she got so used to cockroaches that she named the ones in her apartment and counted them as they crawled over her ceiling as she was trying to go to sleep.</p>

15

<p>^ I love potatoes.</p>

16

<p>Heights (unsubstantiated), swimming (almost drowned as a child), herpes (uncurable STI that doesn't kill), ebola (melting internal organs), and going to Rutgers (I admit it).</p>

17

<p>@Nightsd : I luvve potatoes as well. Did you always stay away from french fries? lol</p>

18

<p>One of my goals (as a future premed/doctor) is to cure ebola :)</p>

<p>so maybe i can help you out cc lurker (obviously I don't expect to, but hey, everyone has dreams)</p>

19

<p>Not getting into a college better than my state flagship.</p>

<p>Awkward social situations where I stand there silently and everyone is chatting.</p>

<p>Not getting married by the time I'm 40, if not, I'm joining the convent or putting my name on match.com.</p>

<p>Teachers hating me (this is funny since it doesnt prevent me from being obnoxious in class at all)</p>
