I have a horrible fear of going blind. I just cannot imagine how the blind get by. Having to be so dependant on others, not knowing what is all around you etc. When I was a teen I was doing some work on my car and somehow got metal shavings in my eyes. Went to the hospital and had to lay there looking at a tweezer pulling things out. Then spent about a week with no sight. To have to experience that for the rest of my life, being blind, is pretty scary to me.

I used to give a ride to a blind lady that worked out at the same facility as I did at the time.
She went totally blind at about age 16. Later in her life, her son would move the furniture around in an attempt to "mess w/her" :-\.
Once she found out she was overdrawn in her account because she had been using her debit card while intending to use her credit card.
She also would sometimes show up at parties w/2 different color shoes.
But she had/has a great life and a great sense of humor and is a massage therapist now. A lot of her clients prefer that she's blind because some are quite uncomfortable w/their bodies.
Oh yeah, I have a fear of being eaten by a shark :P

I have a fear of going thru the rest of my life and never feeling about anybody the way I feel about you...:)
LOL sorry I am in a mood.
My fear is of losing my wife. Above anything else in life that scares me more then anything that could happen to me..well that and being used as currency in jail..:)

I too have a fear of going blind, especially as I've seen the world around me and what it looks like. Yes, I know some of you are going to say that not everything is good and some things are best left unseen but I genuinely do feel sorry for blind people.
I don't really give to charity but I do give now and then to blind charities and hopefully one day there will be a cure for all blindness. If I lost an arm or a leg in an accident then I wouldn't be as fussed if I were in an accident and went blind. That would scare the shit out of me.

One of my friends fears that he might fall someday and lose a nipple by the scratching contact.
He was shivering when he told me about this.

I have a fear of growing old, shitting in a diaper, & eating everything through a straw

I can swim in it, but something in the back of my head isn't at ease.
It's a shame, cause when i was young i used to go snorkling, swimming all the time. I loved it so much.

=sorry I am in a mood.
I'd fear Always Sore if he was in a bad mood.
I've always worn glasses for myopia and now need reading glasses.
I too am concerned about losing my eyesight.
xL
I'm scared of fire (and angry men...
We will see.
ps: you wouldn't kill yourself if you went blind.
You'd beg for another two weeks or months even if you'd lost your legs and arms and all your innards and half your brain. At the end, you wanna live.
I'm half blind.
But things still look good and I can type.

Drowning. i thing i drowned in my previous life

in fact i'm convinced that one of the main reasons i've never had an eye accident is that I have my specs on.
I have lots.

Drowning. i thing i drowned in my previous life
do you mean that about your previous life? I'm having lots of thoughts about what I might have done to ....
I've never had a really bad dream.
That would be up there about Number one fear for me: Nightmares.
Luckily I've never really had one of those.
Or major health scares.

One of my favorite lines is: Live in fear.

OMG the same thing happened to me when I first moved to NY. Some metal sliver from a construction site flew into my eye and had to have it taken out with the tweezer. It was DISGUSTING. I remember the doctor phoned me at home every day and I thought he was hitting on me until I found out that in the States doctors actually call you at home, unlike Canada, where this would never happen. :-\ Even worse, four years later it happened again in Cape Cod... a grain of sand lodged in my eye and had to go to the ER to have the SAME procedure. It's twice the horrible when you know what to expect.
I used to take my dog Zoe to the Blind Institute for animal therapy. She loved it and so did the people there. One visit we were with an old blind and deaf guy who seemed very despondent, and when Zoe crawled on his lap, he started touching her and she licked him, and when he realized she was a dog, he actually started crying... which of course set me off, so then I did. But I don't think being blind is the worst thing in life. You can still enjoy and accomplish a lot.
Worst fear: I would hate to fall from a tall building. I get sick if I even get near a window when I'm above the 15th floor.

Bro then you better stop masturbating!

I was blind in my left eye.
I had a cornea transplant.
Watching the Video of the operation still creeps me out.
I am afraid of heights.
I became an HVAC engineer because I thought I would never have to worry about heights.
Now I spend aboout 1/4 of my days standing on ladders and roofs of tall buildings.
The most amazing experience I had when my vision came back was looking at mowed grass.
I never knew grass had so much texture. It was freaking cool.

i have a bad knee too.

Afraid of heights. One of the scariest moments of my life was going to Air Assault School in the Army. Repelling out of the helicopter at the end of training was scary, but repelling off the tower when training for the helicopter was absolutely terrifying. We had to back out over the tower and lean back while holding a very skinny rope. Probably the scariest moment of my life. I think I said a few Hail Mary’s, and I'm not even Catholic.

i had no problem getting a drivers license, either in Toronto or Florida.
I drove all over America. I can see. I just judge distance differently.
That's why you have two eyes.

yeah, I noticed that. I told you the clock thing and logout thing doesn't work here.

I'd hate to lose my hands.

i fear that i will get buried alive somehow. could you imagine trying to breathe with dirt packed around you.

i fear lonliness..other than that i don't care about anything else. i think

put that out of your mind, it won't happen.
If it's your greatest fear, then make sure it can't happen
-

Mmmm
that's a good one.
i could talk about this for ages.
Don't fear loneliness, just be alone.
Everything I love (except sex), is a solitary pursuit. I garden, I read, I play on my computer.
Never lonely.
You're born alone, you die alone
xL
-
oh no.... conversation. I enjoy that. That takes two.
Sometimes it turns into an argument though.
That's why being alone is safe. Noone can truly upset you.
xL
i fear bad vibes and nasty words. I hate that.

some of the best conversations i've had have been with myself, lol :-\
-
i live in n.j., and i have a fear of driving over the verazanno bridge into n.y. ( i can be in a car with someone and be ok, but i am afarid of driving on that bridge myself). i don't want to sound WUSSY, but i seriously hate that bridge! can anyone relate? :(
-
someone who has driven off the bridge???
-

there was something in the news here about that recently.
If you don't talk to yourself, you're not sane. I don't have the blue clicky link.
It was a bunch of psychoanalysts saying that you must.
xL
-
i do it all the time. But i doubt i would call myslef sane!
-
I'D RATHER TALK TO MYSELF ANYWAY. I'M MY FAVOURITE PERSON.
OTHER PEOPLE ARE MY GREATEST FEAR.
I trust about 3 people.
I don't actually like most people. They're scary or ugly or horrid.
Or boring or dumb.
The other problem is everyone likes me, so I have to be careful.
I'm talking only, it seems, about emotional fears. Head problems.
Always was talking about losing bits of your body...
Sharks and being buried alive and room 101

I love heights.
To you lot in Canada: one of my first jobs was at the CN tower. I was the only girl there and had to take a hardhat with me on the subway. I was there when they put the top bit on. I went up it inside on some kinda hoist job to where the restaurant is, before they put the lifts or windows in. I leant out. Helicopters were flying by. They said I could make a phone call and I phoned my Mum. xL
How old is the CN tower? Does that give away my age !!! I was only a secretary (16!!!
nowadays I'm scared to climb up a ladder on my own. xL
Yes, actually it does, since the CN Tower was topped off in 1975. If you were 16 that makes you close to 50. And you're STILL out getting shitfaced at pubs and dragging home stray men who beat your door in and get you so flustered you set your flat ablaze. Interesting life you have there Linder...

The Goethels is worse than the Verrazano. The Goethels is a skinny rinky dink feels like it will fall apart bridge.
Take the lower level on the Verrazano, stay in the left lane and just look straight ahead untill you exit at the Belt. Should feel like being in a tunnel instead of being on a bridge.

"getting shitfaced at pubs and dragging home stray men who beat your door in and get you so flustered you set your flat ablaze. Interesting life you have there"
Thanks, Deedee, you are so very aware. I know you don't appreciate my sense of humour or the way I sound, which is fine, it's just the way it happened. You're probably still very young, so all the best to you. Get married and have kids, stay single. You decide...
Shall I explain myself again.
I have no fear about getting drunk. It's one of the things I do best. I'm one of those fun drunks, not the type that gets nasty. Also I've never done shitfaced. I didn't drag anyone home. I'd wanted to explain that but am unsure about how the story might be misread. Noone came on to anyone and Paul was not a stray. He was playing pool and having a perfectly normal ordinary evening with his mates. The pub had great atmosphere that night and everyone was in a good mood. Fridays people get paid and since it's a workingmans joint, it's fun on a Friday.
I'd gone there with Barney, my disabled friend, who I "care" for. I was out after work and wearing my gardening gear, a purple overall which i'd taken half off and tied the sleeves around my middle. I didn't know I was going to turn anyone on. I didn't even think.
Neither of us, I'm sure, were out to get laid that night. We just clicked (double clicked)
It wasn't meant to happen.
The rest (him coming back to my place again when he should've read the brillant advice given to him here; the meltdown when I read his thread and you lot got into it; his anger at being exposed... and my mess when I trashed my flat the next night by forgetting to blow out a candle, were just aftermath.
It'll be fine.
I still look 29 (well maybe 35 or something. I promise never to act on chemistry again.
I'll be far more careful.
ta deedee
xL
oh yeah, I figured out another deep fear: nothing to do with anything, by the way, just something I thought of last night:
being without a penny. can you imagine not having a cent and being unable to provide for yourself or others. being unable to work and/or earn any money. being unable to have a home (or a phone, or a computer...) No food. No hope.
Money is like a sixth sense, without it you can't use the other 5
