What are you afraid of?

...Gus...

I am afried to fly in an airplane

Are you okay flying without one?

To be honest, not much.

The only thing I can think of is being trapped underwater.
I like swimming, and I would try scuba diving if someone offered it to me for free, but i think i owuld be pretty freaked out the whole time. Underwater is kind of creepy, it's like a whole different dimension or world.

Your first breaths underwater are a bit scary, but you get used to the breathing apparatus pretty quickly. Switching between breathing with or without a mask can be scary too because you have to mentally prevent yourself from inhaling with your nose at the same time as your mouth. The first time I went down, I ran out of air early (from fooling around) and I had to share a mouth piece with someone else

Water....I've known people who dive and use those air tanks.

On several occassions I've tried to put the mouthpiece in my mouth to see what it would feel like to breathe through it. I couldn't even get myself to put the regulator (is that what it's called?) in my mouth.

You'd never get me underwater.

Re: What are you afraid of?

I've thought about this. I suppose it would be the macho thing to say I'm not scared of nothing, but I do have some fears and worries.

Here's a list, in no particular order:

Dying a slow and painful death.

Being poor and having nothing in my old age.

My oldest daughter being stuck in her crappy relationship forever.

Being blind, in particular, but having major disabilities. I wonder how well I would cope.

I am afraid of heights but love to fly in air plains does that make sense?

I am afraid to drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge! If I do I drive across the bridge in the dark so I cant see how high that I am!

What I find strange is my friend, who I consider to be extra confident will be scared at things im ok with!!

im scared of a few things

1.bees, i though i was over this but the other day one flew around me and i started my breakdancing on crack escape manuevers. i guess im not over it

2. other humans controlling or imprisoning me, or otherwwise having leverage on me (aka police, i get harassed every other week almost and every time they pull me over for "jaywalking" or some other bs excuse i have to fight the urge to flee, what a sad state when i fear police more than gangs and crackheads)

3.Not fearing death scares me. this one is a little wierd i know, but i just cant be scared of dying, tortured to death maybe.. but pure and simple death isnt that frightening. i think this has to do with #2 in that if i put value on life someone can use it against me? *shrug*
