A list of things that scare me to some extent.
- Driving. It still terrifies me.
- Failure. I hate failing.
- Rejection. Not as horrifying as it used to be.
- Being late. I have nightmares about this.
- Getting drunk. I like being sober and in control.
- Living in a world without baseball. I wouldn’t want to live in such a world.
- Noise. Loud noises to be exact.
- Heat. I don’t want to burn myself.
- War. Any kind of violence.
- Blood. Other people’s specifically.
- Band-aids. More unsettling than anything.
- Germs. I’m a germaphobe.
- Forgetting. Especially anything important.
- Twisting my ankle while walking down the stairs. Happened one too many times.
- Being out at night. I feel unsafe.
- Darkness. I used to be afraid of the dark.
- Dying before I realize my dreams. No need to elaborate there.
- Dropping money. I’d prefer not to.
- Losing IDs. What a hassle to replace them.
- Drowning. Let’s hope I don’t die in a body of water.
- Getting lost. I’m terrible with directions.
- Car accidents. This might explain my first fear.
What are you terrified of?
