Spiders. I saw a lot of scary spider videos when I was a kid. My girlfriend makes me kill them.

A room full of snakes and spiders. I believe that I feel this way because they are slithering and they try to kill you. I am also scared of them buying me and I did for getting poisoned.

My biggest fear is needles. I don't know why I'm scared of them but I hate the doctor because of them.

My biggest fear are clowns. I don’t really know why that scare me so much but one time I was at a haunted house and pennywise chased me up the stairs and I cried.

Haylee

AI taking over and controlling the world. Also not being able to live in a free world.

Very mature fear

My greatest fear is of the ocean. I hate the idea of swimming with all those animals. I had one encounter in mexico where i got stung by a jellyfish and I didn't go back into the ocean for the whole trip.

bella

5/9/2023 12:20:44 pm

Sounds like that'd hurt

Katie

5/9/2023 12:26:34 pm

no the ocean is great

Anna

I am fearful of spiders, heights, the Bermuda Triangle, germs and I think that’s it. I don’t know why I’m afraid of these things.

Katie

5/9/2023 12:27:07 pm

Spiders aren't it

My biggest fear are closets. When I was younger my older sisters would lock me in there and tell me that the monster was going to get me, I’m the house that we lived in then the light switch to the closet was on the outside of it.

I'm scared of going outside in the dark. My mind just makes me think there's always somebody lurking around tryna kill people. I face this fear every time I walk to my car when leaving work at night.

My biggest fear is being forgotten when I die, because if I am forgotten so easily then my life had no meaning or contribution to society.

logan

5/9/2023 12:20:50 pm

that's deep

Colton

5/9/2023 12:20:55 pm

couldn't agree more

Logan

I am not scared of the usual things like clowns or drowning. I fear birds. Yep, birds. Birds are so freaky. Take five minutes out of your day and just stare at a bird. Birds attack people, they fly, they shit everywhere, and they are just creepy looking. They circle you and have the opportunity to dive bomb you. I will not overcome this fear because every time I see a bird I question my existence.

Colton

5/9/2023 12:21:26 pm

its because birds are AI

Riley S.

5/9/2023 12:21:36 pm

It's because they are government drones

One of my biggest fears is rattlesnakes because they always catch you by surprise and are very deadly. I hate having to always watch out for them while I am in the woods, it makes it a lot less fun. I have walked up on several rattlesnakes but one that scared me the most was when I was about 13 and I almost stepped on one when I was Jogging near Lucky Peak Reservoir, I nearly had a heart attack after I noticed it getting ready to strike at me.

Riley S.

That's a valid fear

Tay

I’m scared of uncooked food because I wanna eat my food not be throwing it back up. Also fearful of losing family members that are super close to me.

logan

I have emetophobia and I believe it came from my very poor health growing up. We weren’t as fortunate then so I didn’t have access to much medical care so I often violently sick and it would make sense for my fear. My brother has a sensitive stomach so I have been in multiple situations where no one could come and assist him except for me.

my biggest fear is not doing as many things as I can before I die. I dont want to live a boring and uneventful life. Ive had many traveling opportunities and have done many fun things but it none of them have been so eventful I thing about it more than once

Katie

5/9/2023 12:25:16 pm

Spiders, I don't know why there just freaky.

My biggest fear is porta potties they are so scary to look at. They can tip over you could fall in, something could craw out at you. What if a car gets in a wreck and hits it when you in there.
