only big ones that are really close to me, small ones i dont have a problem with (i've been known to say hello to small spiders crawling across my hand and happily watch them do so), something about the biggers ones makes me shudder/jump if their too close though

Ha! I don't mind most insects but praying mantises freak me out. I think they look evil.

Ohs. Well mines a little one that would jump on your hand, look at you curiously for a second, and go back to stealthily hunting the fly on your screen. :) Jumping spiders are my favorite because they have so much character.

I fear that I am a failure and always will be. That my dreams will never come to fruition.

I am also afraid of spiders and ghosts!

I'm afraid of the person that i might become if I don't live up to the expectations that others have put on me as well as the expectations that i have put on myself.

I'm afraid that one day i'm going to lose my mind and end up in a psych ward.

I'm afraid of inadvertently hurting people when i'm trying to help.
I'm also afraid that this fear is what will cause it if it happens

[waitwhat...]

@MelanieM OMG! I love praying mantises!!! I even had a few as pets. Ok, I should start a bug thread. >:D

Since I went off topic, I'll do another fear.

I'm afraid that someday I'll dissappear in everyone's mind and become a nothing.

I posted something pertaining to a specific example to what I am shamed of in a different thread. The confession thread. I don't plan on repeating it, it certainly is rather shallow, and to use my mother as an excuse is just an excuse. I just wish i did not have to feel that what i had posted would place judgment upon me if i went against what i had posted. It should not matter what my mother would think, especially when it comes to someone that i certainly could become more than friends with. One of these days my mother is going to have the biggest shock of her life, a girl with purple hair would be enough to scare her.

Fear of becoming a paedophile is probably a healthy thing. How many paedophiles can say the same?

That's what the POCD can do to you. Along with some other unsavory thoughts, it makes you always question yourself. No matter what others say, or even if you otherwise have no attractions to that age group in that way, there's always some thought in the back of your mind saying "What if? ". Although logically yes, a true pedo would not second guess or worry over his/her feelings or actions. The mind is such a strange thing sometimes.

im afraid of angry people and insensitive people. im afraid of being rejected. im afraid of acting like myself. being alone. not living to my potential. not following my passions. of what others think.
