Your fears?

[StrawHatterAlice]

Okay, feel free to move his or whatever if there is another thread like it, there might be, but I searched so I'm fairly certain there isn't.

What are you guys' fears?

I'm scared of:

Bunnies. The most deep-rooted fear of mine. You know how they twitch their little noses? They are actually smelling your blood and waiting to strike.

Babies. They just kinda creep me out, how they're like little, misshapen people. shudder

Deer. I was nervous about deer before because of a certain music video, but seeing Chopper all like that in 408 made me really afraid of deer. Thanks Chopper. Thanks a lot.

So those are mine, how about all of you?

[COWMAKAZE]

Would you believe me if I told you I have a fear of clowns? Because I do. It's actually pretty bad - now whenever I see a clown at an amusement park or something I go on the other side of the road and start walking faster, and when that isn't an option I start acting weird. My entire family thinks I'm like clown-radar now. But, hey, it made some of my favorite villains ever IT(awesome book, sucky movie), Buggy, and Sweet Tooth (from Twisted Metal).

Also, my next biggest fear is ice. Because I broke my ankle and my nose on ice, so now I walk like a little old lady on the stuff.

[NeoShweaty]

fears of clowns are actually rather common. Probably something to do with their grotesque image.

One of my only fears, really, is a fear of greys. The big eyed skinny aliens. I always watch alien shows and always get the chills whenever they show one of them

[July_the_Pirate]

I have a small fear of heights but only when I'm walking up a ladder or across on a narrow bridge or walkway.

[Anime Master]

My friend is deadly afriad of clowns. He takes it a tad too far though. I cant even draw the Joker without him squiming.

[captain sogeking]

Heights and greys, they both suck

[NeoShweaty]

@captain:

Heights and greys, they both suck

greys?! :ohmy: you too? i thought i was the only fucking one!

conversely, i love heights

[Aoi Neko]

My fears in order:

Needles and sharp objects- I hate pain. Once cut my finger on a measuring cup that was chipped and almost had to go to the hospital.
Pitbulls- People get attacked by them, I saw that on the news a few times before.
Very big dogs- After seeing Kujo a few years ago, I'm afraid of big dogs now.
Presenting or on stage- Makes me nervous.

[NeoShweaty]

i love being on stage. You guys are wimps (just kidding)

[warp]

Bees: Oh god that is the one one thing that i fear the most. shudders for real

red rocks: long story involved with this one…..dont want to explain right now

[NeoShweaty]

wait, as in rocks that are red? (stupid question but it could be slang or something…couldnt it?)

@gilrules2000:

wait, as in rocks that are red? (stupid question but it could be slang or something…couldnt it?)

When i lived in colorado there were these huge mini mountains that were red. They were known as red rocks. You had to be careful while climbing or else you would fall.

Ok so one day….

My friends and I decided to go up there and play because we had nothing better to do. We were playing this ninja type game where we were doing stunts. My and my other friend (there were 3 of us) were competing to be co-captain of the ninja squad thing or w/e. He was kicking my ass (well it was 2-1) in the events. I am like ok i give up you are going to win anyway. mY two other friends are like "No keep going. You could probably win." My friends convinced me so i said alright w/e. The activity was the first one to tag my friend won. (My friend who we needed to touch couldnt move) We both started from the same line and then it started. We dashed off to touch my friend. Well there was two ways that you could get to him. You could A. Go in the straight line and touch him or b. Go up a mini hill and touch him from above. I went with b... When leaning over the ledge.. i feel off. I had landed on my friends back (and found out a couple days later i had hyperextended it) and laserated my kidney. So basically when i go on those rocks i get freaked out. That wasnt very a fun way to spend my birthday.....

[Hunky Dory]

I fear:
Bees-They are in the walls of my house and sometimes chase me around.
Aliens-After seeing the movie Mars Attacks as a kid
Klu Klux Klan-I guess I fear the pointy hood/masks the most from them
Going Bald-After seeing all the men in my family
People knowing my fears and then using them against me :unsure:

[KamenRider]

Snakes - Don't care how non-poisonus it is, just keep them away from me.

Needles - Getting something jabbed into me isn't cool.

[omnichild]

I am one big book of paranoia. Seriously.

My main fears in order from worst to least are

…..: I am so afraid of the first fear that I cannot even post what it is. I shudder at the name. I cannot handle seeing pictures of it. Right now just thinking about it I am trembling. When I see one, I will immediately scream, run and then start crying.

needles: My boyfriend didn't believe me about my fear of needles. Then he went with me to while I got blood test done. On the drive there I was really quiet ( I talk all the time.) At the hospital, he had to drag me into the blood work room and then once we were in there, I immediately starting bawling and shaking to the point of where even the doctors and nurses thought I was going into convulsions.

The dark: Honest to goodness, I have never outgrown my fear of the dark. Though it is more like I am afraid of what might be in the dark lurking.

[AWB]

Fate, sharp objects, bugs and insects (and the like), clowns, what lies beyond life, and social interaction.

[captain sogeking]

@gilrules2000:

greys?! :ohmy: you too? i thought i was the only fucking one!

conversely, i love heights

Yeah they're so creepy the thought of something coming into my room while im asleep and play around with my body maybe even sliceing me completely apart and leaving my remains in the desert scares me shitless.

I used to sleep with the light on for a week after seeing a special on how greys and reptilians came into this guys house and abducted but if they're not real they can't hurt me at least thats what I say.

Falling from a very high height on my head is almost as bad as the greys.

[nguyen]

Needles.

When I was about nine I was putting some stuff on the table for a garage sale. I sat down on a chair next to the table and I felt a sharp pain in the little toe on my right foot. At first I thought that I had stepped on one of my sister's hair pins but when I looked down I saw that it was a very thick sowing needle. Being very thick it actually took about a second and a half for it to go through my toe, which hurt alot. I went to the hospital where they pulled it out.

Clowns.

About a year ago I had a screwed up dream where I was in a dark room and suddenly, a decapitated clown head fell from the ceiling. It rolled across the floor, blood spilling from the neck. The blood spelled Scruffy the clown.

Dogs or anything named Scruffy.

See above.

Cats.

When I was about five I was scratched by my cousin's cat and I got cat scratch fever, which is pretty rare where I live.

Sacred hawaiian spots/Nightmarchers

told that on sacred spots in the middle of the night, that Nightmarchers come out. Nightmarchers being hawaiian spirits. There are several long stories on how I became afraid of them and actually believed in them but I won't tell unless someone asks.

[onemoment]

I'm a little freaked out by loud noises and people sneaking up on me. They're kind of annoying. Also, being helpless would suck.

[omnichild]

ok nguyen, I have to know…what are nightwalkers and how to you come to believe in them?

[taboo]

I'm deathly afraid of aliens. Seriously, after watching Signs, I couldn't walk past a closed door in a lighted room. o__o;

Other than that, Roaches, heights (which I never let hinder me when go to theme parks or water slides), and the fear of losing something important.

There's also the fear of becoming paralyzed severely, old age, becoming blind, etc.

[Buuhan1]

OMG! No one has said Spiders?!

Spiders: …..what? They are bloody spiders for crying out loud! What more info do you need?!

Horror movies/characters: Jason, Freddy, you name it, I hate them all and can't even look at a picture of them without getting paranoid for a day. DO NOT use this against me cause its inhuman.

[DougyDougyGiro!*]

Clowns.

whoo am glad am not the only who fears these things and hates em. It all started when i was little and i don't know i think i saw "It" and well the part that scared me the most was probably when It was talking to that guy's brother and the gestures and the way he sounded and look made me feel sick and scared.

Then i remember i was "Bozo The Clown" in some quiz and when i read about him and saw the picture i got real scared and well i remember seeing all these scary clown movies and now i can't stand em! I remember when i was just relaxing while watching other cars pass by on the freeway and i remember seeing two clowns just talking to each other acting normal in there job car but that got real umcomfy and i felt liek he would turn and stare at me and smile shudders

I once had a dream were Ronald McDonald was trying to kill me and he would just toy with me and first and laugh and look so evil and i couldn't wake i don't know why until i was completely scared shitless and i woudl keep hearing laughter. -__- (one of the reasons i always change the channel when mcdonalds' commercials come on or like to go there.)

---

Ghosts demons anythin of that nature

i remember being paranoid about this like when i first saw this picture called, "The Hospital Ghost" my heart stopped for a moment and i just.. i don't know kept getting a bad bad feeling and i would always avoid going in the bathroom at night or looking at mirrors or my reflection on my tv because i woudl get scared and think a ghost girl would pop out or something would try to get into my head and i have an active imagination so it worsts and its a reason why i leave the radio on when i go to sleep but i SERIOUSLY hate my nightmares because they won't let me wake up and i get this strange strange sensation and i dont like it and if am able to i would still have the feelilng until i go to back sleep and get scared shitless then it would go away leaving me awake in the dark.

---

Iam not scared of the Dark but iam scared of what might be inside the dark.

---

Alone

I just can't stand it i need to be around someone at least or i would go crazy and get all paranoid about things around me

---

Made fun of by everyone or rejected

Ever since i was alittle boy hardly anyone liked me like, most girls wouldn't want to be near me or such because i was ugly and my friends would sometimes beat me up or make me angry and they would all laugh at me cause the way i looked and made fun of me and family and they would just like to punk me around.

Most times its hard for me to talk to people cause i get nervous (especially girls) and feel that the people dont care for what i have to say or the things i like will sometimes be not accepted and wont see things in my view, because am very clumsy and i don't have money most of the time ( i dont care much for it) but my friends usually pay for me (and i feel real bad every time they do.) or am not all smooth with girls or that i don't talk to all the cool people and such and i feel like i don't matter when mostly everywhere (even here in Arlong Park i feel like i dont matter much around or i dont make an interesting topic or post a good opinion or somethin i don't know!)

ehhh couldn't find the right words -_-

[Cinder]

No particular order..

1. Bugs: Like spiders! I killed one a few days ago with the shower. Actually it was in the bathtub and I think it was sleeping. As soon as I started turning the shower on, it started to move but it couldn't crawl up. I washed it down.. unfortunately it climbed back out later so I made sure I got him that time. I refuse to use my hands to kill bugs, even if I'm holding a kleenix o_o.. is a wuss?

2. Studying so hard but end up doing bad: Happened once, I studied everything for hours, was confident that I did well so it generally made me feel good. Ended up with an 84%… >_<; was aiming for a 100% or at least a 95%, competing with this one guy (who, not surprisingly, got a 98%)

3. Resident Evil games: zombies. Nightmares. Woke up at 7am with tears in my eyes the morning after my buds came and played it over at my house late at night. I couldn't go back to sleep so I headed for the comp room, but I was so scared to even go into the dark..

4. Having people talk behind my back: I just don't like it and I hope that it rarely, rarely happens.. it's an awful feeling and I don't like to experience it.

5. Watching movies that are about diseases: started this when I watched Outbreak a few years back, then a few nights ago at supper the SARS thing was on and I ended up eating just a little bit of supper and leaving since mom wouldn't change the channel.

6. Losing people I care about, losing my family while time goes by

7. Post graduation + my future

8. Getting something permanent, like loss of eyesight, loss of body parts, not being able to walk, uncurable diseases

9. My parents retiring from our family restaurant and selling our house (may be soon.. ;_;)

10. Knowing that I'll die one day >.<;

[nguyen]

@omnichild:

ok nguyen, I have to know…what are nightwalkers and how to you come to believe in them?

When I was in sixth grade my school took us on a camping trip to the big island. (if your wondering which island that is just look at the hawaiian islands. It's the biggest one.) The camping site was a military base which just happened to be on a sacred spot. While we were driving to it one of the teachers, who was pure Hawaiian, was telling us about nightmarchers. He said that nightmarchers are spirits of anciant hawaiians. They kill all of those who are on any sacred area at night. Not even kill, I don't remember what it is but it's something worse. Only those with pure hawaiian blood will be spared. He said that if you hear the drumbeats and foot steps the best thing to do is strip down and pee in your pants so they think you're not worth killing. If you look at them you'll die for sure. No one actually believed this and we just laughed. At about 1oclock the next morning the same teacher woke us up and told us to lie on the ground and do as he said erlier. We heard the drumbeats and footsteps. We all lay on the ground, most people stripped down and pissed on the floor. (not including me) Eventually, despite how scared I was, I somehow fell asleep on the floor and woke up the next morning. Now that I'm ollder I think it was a prank done by the teachers but I was still frigin scared.

There are alot of other stories to. That was just one.

[omnichild]

ooo nguyen that is hella scary even if it was a joke played by the teachers. I so would have peed my pants.

Oh yes and I am afraid of spiders. They are just..nnneehh…spiders. -shudders.-

[Cochise]

So your teacher told your other classmates to strip down and pee there pants.

Sounds kinda messed up to me.

[nguyen]

Well I don't think they expected us to do it. But well, some people did.

[Cochise]

How awkward that must've felt for teachers and students. I can imagine the parents being pissed off right now.

---

I'm afraid of Spiders that seem to be to large to be crawling around my house the kind that look like they should be on animal planet.

I'm also afraid of hawks now. Because one day walking to school one swooped down and clawed my head, damn thing scared the living shit out of me.

[Riksu]

i'm deadly afraid of that horrible monkey-boy from the first japanese "ju-on" -movie. it (no, not "he". it.) creeps me out more than anything ever. that white face and the meowing… NO. even if i'm way too old to be scared by things like this, no can do. sometimes i still think that when i turn my head, it will be standing there.
the above can be elaborated to similar things as well. in dir en grey's "obscure" -pv there's this horrible geisha, who vomits blood at some point. i simply can't watch the parts of the video when she's on screen.

i'm also afraid of fat people. have no idea why, but i have the fear they will crush me under their hugeness.
to continue the theme, i'm afraid of getting fat.

nordic walkers and jogging suits that make noise scare me also.

and prawns. man, those things are creepy. hollow, white little buggers with their awful tiny legs.

[igalsfy]

i'm afraid of having a nightmare where i will be in the world of silent hill, when the siren just rang. god i don't want it to happen. and i'm not joking, the hospital in SH1 & 2 frightened me like hell. other than that, i'm easily afraid but nothing critical. i don't like spiders but i can manage to handle the situation if some are around.

[Phlemingo]

I hate things that squirm. Unpredictable things. That's most animals, where the most horrible one ever is jumping fish. Disgusting.

[Eggy]

XD!! my Hawaiian friend told me stories about them before.

my fears…let's see...ugh...

Very Large Fish

ever went to an aquariam and saw those big tanks with those gigantic tropical fish? now...however harmless they may be
the mere thought of me swimming in a river, and suddenly a huge shadow pass under me, would just scare the crap outta me.

Kayako (ghost woman from the grudge)

basically I'm afraid of ghost in general.
but the one fictional ghost that has imprinted deep in my head is Kayako from the grudge.
being a ju-on (Japanese original version of the Grudge) fan, I've seen Ju-On more than 10 times, and Ju-On 2 eight times, and the Grudge once.
now you'd think I gradually become less afraid of her as I watch the movie movie, but instead the horror intensifies everytime I rewatch the movie.
now whenever I think of scenes from Ju-On it'd send chills up my spines.
If I happen to think of Ju-On while I'm on the elevator, I become so edgey that I have for many times received a jump by a person who's waiting for the elevator when the door opens.
and if I ever happen to come across a picture of Kayako when I'm not expecting it, boy, like last time when I was looking around in IGN for infos about Grudge 2 and came across this picture unexpectedly:

(don't click if you're afraid of images of ghostly/bloody woman)
http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/700/700469p1.html

…I'd freak >_>;;

oh, and about that gurgling sound Kayako makes?
I've actually heard it (or something very similar to it) created by a chain of coincidences.
two years ago after I watched Ju-On and Ju-On 2 with my cousins (which scared the crap outta them)
I went ahead to shower. As I was showering, the water soaked the towel that was hanging behind me, and the water gathers at the end tip of the towel and drip onto a bucket turned upside down inside another bucket.
and this made a light 'don' sound.
now as the water rapidly dripped onto the bucket, it made a gurgling sound exactly the same as Kayako's sound.
now imagine that you're showering...and Kayako's gurgling sound suddenly appears behind you, very clear and very loud and very close...
I turned around ever so slowly and saw nothing, and finally found out it was the towel and the bucket that tricked me >_>
(I didn't run out screaming because I was frozen in fear...and that's a good thing because I would've ran out naked in front of my cousins)

...that night, while me and my cousins were getting ready to sleep, I sneaked into the bathroom (which is just right beside where we sleep) and did the towel + bucket trick and made the Kayako sound.
scared my cousins senseless >_>;

[funkyfunkyusopp]

My fears are gunna sound uber lame..

- Water

I'm scared of water, I can swim great but I'm still terrified of it. When I was very small I watched Jaws and that movie about the croc in the sewer systems I THINK thats what has done it but even to this day I'm scared. Also I saw a movie where there was a water demon that killed people.. which didn't help.

When I was little i had to flush the toilet 4 times cus I was scared there would be something there.

Deep ends of pools make me shudder, their dark anything could be in it. Big amounts of water such as rivers a lakes. I can't and wont have a bath unless theres someone in the house with me or I know someones close to me.

I can't take showers. I feel helpless when the waters in my face and my hairs everywhere. It's not a nice feeling and I get all panicy.

My worst nightmare is drowning mainly if a car was to crash into the ocean or something and you'd get trapped and just..well yeah..

- The Dark

Why: Again a childhood of horror movies tramtised me. I'm more scared of the people you could find in the dark then the spirits and ghosts and whatevers. I mean with all the rape and murders the dark ain't a safe place to be in.

- Earwigs/Pinchers

google if yer not sure what I mean.. I dunno why I hate them so muh but when I see one I scream and sometimes cry. It's a fear I dunno why I'm scared of -shurgs- I just am.

I think it has summit to do with my real hate of things touching my ears or being near my ears.

- Silence

This is gunna sound uber uber.. UBER dumb but I can't be in silence, my mind starts to make me hear things, knocks, scartchs, bangs, voices you name it. I can't sleep without a TV being on. I need the sound of a TV to sleep it's been like that since I was a small kid too.

- The Ring

I knwo the usa versions were poor but still. It's like two of my biggest fears pushed together. WATER and DARK _And just.. I dunno it really got under my skin and in my mind.

Not really uber fearsbut they make me wince and make me veyr uncomfortable.

- Walking past open doors

I can't walk past an open door, I have to close it first. I hate having my door open and I have to make sure it's shut fully at least 2-3 times before I can settle down. If I see a door thats open at work or in the house I HAVE to shut it. I don't know why but I don't feel safe any other way.

But despite all that I aint scared of ghosts, demons, spirits etc etc

I'm a very spirtual person and I've had alot of encounters during my life so they don't really get my back up. Not all ways anyway.

Feel free to laugh.

I have a friend who's scared of loli pop sticks and E.T so I ain't the worst.

Ah seeing people mention it so much..

Ju-On: It scared me at first but not any more as I can make that horrible gurgling noise myself. Almost exactly like her, scares my friends shitless tho._

[Cinder]

@funkyfunkyusopp:

- Water
I'm scared of water, I can swim great but I'm still terrified of it. When I was very small I watched Jaws and that movie about the croc in the sewer systems I THINK thats what has done it but even to this day I'm scared. Also I saw a movie where there was a water demon that killed people.. which didn't help.

At least you can swim, but that is also scary from your point of view. I erm.. can't seem to swim no matter how hard I try (and I never took lessons because of certain circumstances >_<). So I stay away from deep water :0

[funkyfunkyusopp]

Yeah I used to love swiming but my real fear of water didn't really come out till my teenage years.

[Riksu]

eggy's story reminded me of something my friend told me.
we have watched ju-on together (both being scared shitless because of the monkey-boy, yeah, the woman scares me too, but nowhere as near as the boy), and she was walking her dog in the evening.
suddenly she heard the similar creeking sound the boy makes coming from the bushes nearby. needless to say, she turned around. but when she was walking down the road, she heard the sound AGAIN. she was starting to be more than a bit creeped out.
and in case that wasn't enough, a goddamn cat jumped in her sight to cream the cake.
not nice. not nice at all, jeeves.

oh and i can make the creepy sound too. i just prefer not to.
and if anyone's ever heard dir en grey's song "clever sleazoid", it starts with that sound as well. but it doesn't scare me as much when kyo makes it. because he's so short and cute.

[Bodeman]

Being helpless or fear of having anything else to do.

[verbatim]

Nothing. No seriously, nothing. I fear nothing at all, quite assuredly. However, I do hate a lot of things…

[Local-chan]

writes down everyone's fears into notebook hehehe…

anyways, Bats! They scare me, bloody evil little things. Tho I love demon girls

also, FFU scares me a lot, seriously. lol

[Duce of Transilvania]

I am scared of beeing rejected and of darkness.
There were times when i could not sleep, i was just terrified of the darkness, night and shadows.
But my greatest fear is of hights, sometimes i think i suffer from acrophobia.

[lalala]

@omnichild:

I am one being walk person of paranoia. Seriously

ditto. But anyway

1. (not in a special order) As others have said Dark. Not because its dark,but because what may be in the dark.

2. FunkyFunkyUsopp, your not alone. I too fear the silence. For the Same reasons too. I must always have sound or I hear everything I don't want to hear.

3. Once again Funky, I'm with you. Walking past open doors (only in the dark) is one of the worst things to me. I'm always afraid somethings gonna jump out and come after me.

4. Dougy, I feel your pain. Being alone sucks. I have to be within at least 5 seconds of someone or my mind starts going all paranoid on me.

As has been generally stated im a walking heap of paranoia. but thats just some of them. But remember people "There is nothing to fear but fear itself"

edit - oh and verbatim. isn't your sig kinda spoilerific?

[LightningAce]

1. Death
2. Cockroaches.- They just creep me out-big time.

[COWMAKAZE]

Well, if everyone else is going to explain their fears, I may as well, too. Already explained ice, so I'll go onto clowns:
The reason I'm afraid of clowns is really stupid. Take that as a disclaimer. Anyway, when I was a kid, I was reeeeeeeeeeeeeally gullible. Abnormally so, even for a little kid. So, anyway, one time my cousin had a birthday party with a clown who had some weird-looking makeup on. At the time I was a weird little child and makeup of any kind made me feel ill (it was all… pasty and unnatural. I dunno, it just freaked me out.), so when the clown played a game with everyone else I opted out. It was some game with a big flag or tarp or something, and I watched for a little while while they threw it up and it fluttered down on them and repeat and repeat. The clown was inside, too. So then I went to the bathroom, and when I came back it was fluttering down but there was no one in sight and it was going to the floor, and the clown was on the outside and she laughed and said something that I can't really remember. I wigged out, man.

So, yeah. Turns out they were all just laying down and the curtain was billowing too much for me to notice. Funny thing is, nothing else scares me. I watch horror movies at night and play Resident Evil with surround sound on in a dark room with gigantic windows and tons of trees. And it's freaky, but being scared like that I find to be fun, not bad. I love the feeling you get when you think there's a monster around the corner or something.

Also: Silence is a good fear to mention. It freaks me out for a different reason, though: when I was little I always used to get ear infections, so now whenever I'm not hearing anything else I hear this high-pitched buzzing that freaks me out because my ears are screwed up or something. When I have an ear infection it gets almost unbearably loud when it's quiet. Yeah... That didn't make too much sense.

Finally, everyone is going to add this to their lists when they see it. I dare you to watch this for 60 seconds straight, concentrating at the picture and listening to the music. Don't worry - it isn't one of those stupid things where an image suddenly pops up to scare you, those are lame. This is just plain scary.

[Hobo-Ou]

Tenticle Monsters. I fear they'll take my woman one day.

[Bounty1Berry]

Black holes. Too many years visiting the observatory as a child.

Implants. Too many bad sci-fi Borg-and-similar.

[NeoShweaty]

some of you guys are really fearful. I guess i was desensatized to alot of the stuff that you guys are afraid of because i watched so many horror movies when i was younger and most of my other fears i have just gotten over. However, i can completely understand where you guys are coming from

[Jubin]

Oh Boy…

• Open/Deep Water
  I can swim and all but any body of water 3ft or deeper just freaks. me. out. I don't quite remember how this started but I think it was when my dad nearly knocked me out of the Jaws ride at Univerisal Studios when I was 7 right when Jaws pops out, mouth wide open. :wacko:

• Bees
  My whole life. No reason. I just freak out whenever they're near. Animal Crossing did not make this any better. -__-

• Dark
  I STILL leave my light on at night. Something gonna get me I just know it...:unsure:

• Being helpless (fully paralized, beheaded etc)
  I could deal with my an arm or a leg being ripped off but take both arms or both legs and I just won't be able to remain sane.

• Nothing-ness

[snow_yeti]

I get pretty jumpy if someone surprises me, and I usually try to clock whatever freaked me out.

I'm afraid of heights only when I'm going up or down a ladder. If you stick me on a roof and tell me to look down, I'm fine, but tell me to climb up a considerable height, then I start shaking. I think it's more of a fear of slipping off a rung, then who knows what.

Public speaking really gets to me, only when I'm alone and I don't have a friend in the audience. I freeze up sooooo badly, and I just can't speak properly. I was alright when it came to playing an instrument alone, I'd still freeze up, but I could manage to keep going when I was playing.
