My biggest fear is rivers because of the current. When I was little I fell into one and didn’t know how to swim so my sister pulled me out of the water. And every time I go to the river I don’t go near the water due to that. I haven’t really overcome my fear yet it still scares me to this day.

That's intense if that happened to anyone it could terrify them.

Snakes are my biggest fear. I used to not be afraid of them but my best friend Brooke is really scared of them. She is so scared that her fear rubbed off on me so now I’m scared of them.

My greatest fear is being trapped in darkness. It would be pretty scary if you could not see anything or have anyone hear you. I have not met my fear often. Once when I went camping in a cave and when I woke up it was pure darkness. I had my phone flashlight so I overcame it.

My biggest fear is probably death just because it's the ultimate unknown. Where do you go? Is there some sort of god in the sky that saves us all? No one knows and to be face to face with that is terrifying. But it's a weird duality because the way to overcome this fear is to become at peace with yourself, life itself and have a fulfilling life.

Joshua Grover

That is pretty scary since no one truly knows.

Gage

Just accept it

I have a fear of man-made objects underwater. I'm not sure what is so creepy about them but I can hardly stand to look at pictures of sunken ships and everything man made underwater.

Sammy

It's weird seeing them there. I could agree I don't like it much.

I agree, those a seriously freaky 😂😂

I have a fear of murky water. I have always been a good swimmer, but not being able to see where you are makes me panic. I've had several encounters with this fear. When I was young I almost drowned in the river. I've also panicked swimming in the lake because of the algae in it. I've tried coming over the fear but it is still there.

My biggest fear is needles and as soon as I see the I pass out. I’m scared of them because I feel like the nurse is going to snap it in my arm. One time I got the Covid shot I passed out and they had to put me on oxygen. I have definitely not overcomed it but I prep myself and then I try to think good thoughts.

Anthony

6/1/2021 12:23:00 pm

Sometimes I’m scared that if I flex while the needle is in my arm then it will break off in my arm.

My biggest fear is to the fear of failure. I get scared sometimes that I will be stuck in a career I hate with nowhere to go and no money to do it with. I probably need to just not worry and go for it, but its nerve racking as I see other people’s lives fall apart when I was sure they would be successful.

Lani

6/1/2021 12:20:38 pm

I get that a lot. Especially this year

Wyatt Linger

6/1/2021 12:21:40 pm

That is true failure is very terrifying

Miriam

6/1/2021 12:32:20 pm

I get that a lot. Especially coming from a big family.

My greatest fear is heights. It makes me fearful because I hate falling without any control and if the height is tall enough fall and die without any control. Roller coasters that go really high make me really scarred and I’m still scarred of them but it is one way I’ve confronted my fear of heights.

Kendall

6/1/2021 12:19:45 pm

Yeah that’s a bit scary

Sammy

6/1/2021 12:20:19 pm

I'm not scared of heights, but I agree trying to get over them is a great idea.

Anthony

6/1/2021 12:21:29 pm

I’m not afraid of heights, but I’m afraid when I see other people at heights that could possibly fall.

Faith

6/1/2021 12:22:17 pm

Heights are very scary!

Tori

My biggest fear is the fear of heights. I can't handle being lifted high into the air by something man made. I think my fears came from building box beams and roofing standing on the top of a ladder

Taylee Matthews

Heights are scary

My biggest fear is the death of people I love. When I was younger my grandpa passed away and it made me realize that I never want anyone else in my family to die.

Alexia

6/1/2021 12:33:43 pm

That’s a hard fear to have, and hard to talk about tol

Tori

6/1/2021 03:39:29 pm

That’s one of my biggest fears too!

Caden

I’m not sure what my biggest FEAR is. But one thing that definitely makes me a little uneasy would have to be being over deep water like the ocean, just not knowing what is beneath you is the part that freaks me out the most

Alexia

6/1/2021 12:34:14 pm

I relate to that, not being able to see what’s around you is scary

Miriam

6/1/2021 12:28:09 pm

One of my biggest fears is to be paralyzed. The thought of not being able to move or help myself. No matter how much humans want to be lazy and sit around, no one would truly choose to be pushed around the rest of there life.

Emma

6/1/2021 10:27:49 pm

That’s an interesting fear. I totally get where you are coming from and feel the same way.

Taylee Matthews

6/1/2021 12:31:48 pm

One of my fears is heights. For an example the rock at the lake its not even that high but the idea of just jumping scares me. I feel like I’m jumping forever before you hit the water.

Emma

6/1/2021 10:29:21 pm

I have the same fear and I try to push myself to get past it all the time but it doesn’t make it any less scary!

My biggest fear growing up was car accidents because they’re so unpredictable. I was in a rollover and it didn’t get rid of that fear but it made me even more of a cautious driver. I also can’t sleep while being a passenger anymore.

Avery Cole

I agree, car accidents are very scary.

Tori

I have many fears but one of my biggest fears is heights. I like looking at the views when I get up to a heigh spot but when it comes to the thought of falling off of something tall scars me along with relying on my own strength to hold me up or to have someone catch me for example rock climbing scars me too.

Emma

6/1/2021 10:26:37 pm

I have many fears about animals but overall my biggest fear would be heights. I’m terrified of heights to the point where my body will lock up. For my eighteenth birthday I wanted to face my fear and go sky diving. It was an amazing experience that I will never do again because I’m still scared but it was awesome knowing that I could do it.

Avery Cole

6/2/2021 09:23:13 pm

Heights is one of my fears too!

Avery Cole

My biggest fear is water. It is so big and deep, that you never know what is underneath your or near you. It's always been a dream of mine to swim with great white sharks in a cage, and I am going to have to face my fear in order to do that.
