Ok well just for conversations sake post any fears and phobias that you may suffer from, I'll go first:

Acrophobia: fear of heights
Unisociophobia: fear of being alone
Xenophobia: fear of foreigners (It's actually for me a fear of foreign languages, I get really nervous when people are speaking in foreign tongues "not english" around me)

Fear of working for the rest of my life and knowing that i didnt make any difference in this world, just like 99% of all humans.

I'm afraid of wasps (childhood trauma - Insectophobia...for wasps) and of v1.3 sucking due to some of the lame suggestions actually getting in (Sucksophobia?)

Uhm more like 10%. If you change somone elses life you are effecting their lifes and others around them for the rest of their life and it keeps going so in matter of fact changing the world.

I have fear of ledges and needles. I thought it was heights but I went ski-diving and I wasnt effected at all.

That makes a lot of sense Gibson, I fly all the time and it doesnt bother me to sit by the window "its actually kind of soothing" it must just be ledges.

Uh. I dunno the Phobia's, and i'm too damn lazy to look them up

But i have a fear of drowning, and I'm afraid of the dark (outside only, inside my house it's ok :) )

But that didn't stop me from walking home from work at 1:30 am >:E

Is the world truly changed by interacting with others? In a hundred years, will these people remember me? Not likely as they'll be dead. Im not speaking about short term differences in the world. I speak of making a lasting impression in the world. Like if i were to nuke the entire planet and made sure people knew it was me, i would be remembered for as long as humans lived (Yes, i know, everyone will be dead. Lets hope humans have created colonies elsewhere before Operation: Remembrance is started.)

I've got a theory on the ledges fear. When you're skydiving you're already falling, everything that happens from there is inevitable. When you're on the ledge you can see where you're going to fall, and you're afraid you might fall. I think it's a fear of falling rather than a fear experienced while falling. I think it's called Vertigo.

And Zeonix, if people won't remember you when you die, and they die, why be remembered? Everyone passes it on to the younger generations, who age, pass it on, die and so on, it's a neverending loop. You get nothing out of it, as the people who remember you die too. Result: Existence is futile.

You'll see in a few years Raven. When you look outside and notice a blinding flash followed by about 200 others, you'll remember who Zeonix was......DUN DUN DUN!

hmmmm ur sort of right, u should learn about chaos theory, basically everything that happens effects everything else, i believe the metaphor used is when a butterfly flaps his wings on side of the world it causes a tidal wave thousands of miles away..... but i cud be just looking like a dumbass here :p

Im not scared of much really.... maybe heavy machinery and chainsaws and stuff.... im terrified of loosing my right arm :shocked:

FYI: Ravendust, vertigo is a medical condition caused by lack of fluid in the inner ear. Which causes loss of balance, headaches, and vomiting. NOT FUN!!!

and Tassadar you are deffinately right, It's tough to imagine how much pain those little pricks can give off. Oh well at least they die after there done. lol

I have a ****ed up fear, besides acrophobia. Ever look at the sky? Yeah...I don't know why, but I have this irrational fear that gravity might somehow give way and I might float helplessly into the upper atmosphere. Weird, huh?

That's pretty weird.

And wasps are much worse than bees, their stings dont come out and they don't die after attacking. They don't even make honey. The bastards. I'm also scared of Customer Services. And Zeonix i'll remember you for this thread, but i'll probably die first.
