Old Habits/Childish Fears

WHAA! Poor eyes *hugs* My parents wouldn't even let me watch horror films untill I was 10... and the only one they let me see then was "The Mummy"... I was too good at scaring myself, I guess.

Thanks hon.

Yeah, unfortunately I was one of those kids that cried for the parents late in the night cause they were scared. I would see scary movies and then get scared.

The worse part about it is I grew up liking scary movies and still watch no matter how scared I now I'm going to get later.

I'm such a glutton for punishment.

I'm scared that people will see me in my weakest and most awkward moments. Being the eldest, my family and other people always think of me as a very strong person. So if I'm caught crying in public, it would ruin me.

Weird ritual: Whenever I'm finished petting my cat, I have to pat their back exactly three times to let them know I'm done. If I do more or less, I feel a compulsive need to start the petting over, just so I can finish it the correct way, with three even pats.

Heebie Jeebies: Whenever I wake up at night, I avoid looking around my room. I'm so certain I'll see something lurking or crouching somewhere and I think if I don't know it's there, it will go away. This comes from reading "Geralds Game" by Stephen King.

I also HATE having to walk from my dark room into a dark hallway. I always imagine that the giant spider monster thing from the end of Poltergeist is waiting outside the door.

This story has freaked me out for ages now-more information can be found Here

Fuck you for posting that shit. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight! FUCK FUCK FUCK.

I have a really odd habit of being perfectly happy then locking myself in the bedroom and playing all my favourite songs crying to them, and not actually feeling sad, but feeling passion for the music

The most childish habit of mine is dipping my pizza crusts into the cola.

I swear it's yummy!

I don't have any stuffed animal type things anymore, so most nights I cling to a pillow like it was a lifeline.

I'm still somewhat afraid of the dark. Keeping a window open so the glow of a streetlight, or leaving something like a TV or computer monitor on are a must for at night.

I still have a real issue with needles too (figure that, a pieced up diabetic being afraid of needles).

[Sanctus Dei]

I want a Robert doll.

Hmm fears... As a youngen I had the typical things, under the bed/ closet/ dark/ etc... fears. But specifically, I was scared of the gremlins, ET and that creepy little troll from the final story of 'Cats Eye'
by Steven King. Now though??

I often speed by Mack Trucks, I refuse to drive anywhere near them...
I'm scared of losing my mother and my kitty (she's like 11 not)
Wow, I honestly can't think of anything else.

Habits/Childhood Carry overs:
I bite my nails
I become devilishly sacrastic for no reason.
[whisper] I cry when mustafa dies too.. [/whisper]
I'm cocky
I argue to win, even when half of my facts are bullshit.
I 'watch' T.V. just for the company.

That Robert Doll is creepy. Interesting read, but creepy.

Wow, is that really you? Long time no see....

Where the fuck is my post?

I know I posted it!

Shit like this makes me think I'm going crazy, also a big fear.

My friend's oldest brother was, too. She said when he was little he was sitting on the couch watching tv when he heard a flock of birds outside. He screamed "GREMLINS!" and hid under the blanket

I bet I'll have a nightmare tonight about Robert.

I have a terrible fear of insects, particularly those with more than six legs, like earwigs. I forgot about it until the other night I was reading and I noticed an earwig crawled onto the page. I screamed , threw the book down and saw the earwig crawl under my bed, and I don't know where he went after that. I keep my sketchbook near the bed and I haven't touched it since because I'm afraid I'll open it up and it'll be there. Also I'll think I see it out of the corner of my eye or feel it crawl on my skin, but its never there. I'm living in paranoia.

Ick. I don't know what an earwig is but I do fear the dreaded cockroach. Especially the ones that FLY. Bugs that disgusting should not be allowed to fly. Or swim for that matter. You have no idea how gross it is to go to your apartment to have a nice long bath to fine this huge swollen cockroach sitting on your loofah! I screamed like the little bitch I am and made the matience man come get rid of it. Apparently CPS had been working on the lines and accidentally busted a water line which allowed the roach to crawl right in.

Unfuckingbelievably gross.

I hate crickets cause they jump so high. I don't like bugs that jump. And silverfish......oh god gross......

Thanks Circle for the info.

Though the second link gave a little levity but that first now makes me want to not eat peaches or any soft fruit. Dammit, I rather liked peaches.

Bleh...

[Saya]

Those pictures gross me out. Everyone here calls the kind of bug that scared me an earwig, but they lack the pinchers on the back of them. I wonder what they really are, then?

Ewww, a cockroach? We don't get them here, but once I saw them in an insectorium (I know, I know, I was just asking for trouble), and they let people hold them. I had the willies for hours after I left.

[winged_dreams]

Still scared of drowning due to an incident that happened when I was a young child. Just recently, with the help of my fiance, was I able to finally put my head underwater a couple of times.

You might want to go there and introduce yourself properly.

I'm not good at introducing myself, i always end up making myself look like a total dumb ass.

Then ANSWER the GIVEN QUESTIONS.

Not hard.

You will only make things worse for yourself if you don't. I suggest you read the thread For the Newbies to get the feel of the site and what you should and should not do.

Only idiots fear nothing. No fear shows a person is too stupid to know there are things far worse than death, which deserve our fear.
It's great if you have no pathological fears, but having no fear at all is a statement devoid of reason.
I myself would fear my enemies. But seeing as I have none, I yearn for one.

Sorry for the double post but, why do you think i am stupid?

[Lackluster_Heavens]

To get back on topic, I fear...spiders. I hate them sooo much. I dont really know why, every time I see one I scream like a girl in a bad 40s horror movie. Then squish it, depending on how large it is.

[Saya]

That reminds me of a story. My roommate is afraid of spiders too, and one day a relative of hers asked her to babysit. She asked them if they had any pets, and they said "Oh, we have the cat and Rosie". So she went over there and when the kids were asleep she played around on their computer, when something caught the corner of her eye. She turned around and there was a huge tarantula on the lamp shade. Turns out Rosie was their beloved bird eating tarantula that they let crawl around the house. She screamed and woke the kids up, and asked them to kill the big spider in the room. All they could do was laugh.

[Lackluster_Heavens]

Oh dear god, I hate those things so much. Once my damn friends bought a devenomed one and put it in my bed as a joke, I almost had a damn heart attack. So if I was in that situation, I probably would've killed the poor family's pet with a bat or something.
