Yo yo yo it's your boy Igor with this day's new Poll of the Day!!!

I put together a list of some common fears.
Please select all that apply and discuss.

Heights, commitments, nuclear War and Death.

Whenever I fly in a plane, I'm sweating bullets as we take off, but when the plane lands I feel relief and overall enjoy. The plane needs to fly in a straight line and never go up, just down.

I voted spiders and snakes, but I don't have a fear of them, I just don't like them that much.

I also said commitment, which is weird, but if I had a fear of something, I guess it would be committing to something that I regret later?

real fear:
Death ofc
Nuclear War

occasionally fear:
Enclosed spaces
Heights, depends how much of a barrier is between me and falling
Germs
Commitment
Darkness

Don't bother me:

Darkness
Spiders
Snakes
Heights
Enclosed spaces (claustrophobic)
Clowns
Commitment
Germs
Open/Crowded spaces

I chose:
Nuclear War - Terrifying prospect
Death - OFC!

I'm never able to really nail down a fear that I have. I'm not afraid of flying but I hate it nowadays because the pressure fucks with my jaw (TMJ) so badly and makes it hurt like hell

real fear: Death ofc Nuclear War

oh

ofc

Everything but clowns and commitment. I'm more afraid of never having a commitment.

Heights was the only one I picked from that list.

I'm not afraid of nuclear war, as nobody (including Trump and Kim Jong-Un) are dumb enough to launch a full-on nuclear war.

everything.

Why are you scared of heights if you're ok with dying?

I'm actually not afraid of dying. I just would rather that happen far in the future.

I'm okay with heights for the most part, but climbing very high ladders makes me feel SUPER uncomfortable. I had to climb up on the roof the other day at work to shut a window and climbing up there and having to free up one arm to open up the latch freaked me the fuck out. I had to ask someone to climb up and shut it for me cause I was too nervous I was gonna fall if I tried closing it. Didn't mind actually being up there at all.

I am diagnosed with social phobia. It's supressed over the years but I still have it to the point where I will not run errnads myself, I always have a friend or Mr. C come with me. Which kind of ties in to crowded spaces. If I'm with someone, I'm fine but alone I freeze up and want to hide in a corner.

When I was a kid I had this irrational fear that I was being filmed at all times.

Not on the list, but I'm afraid of birds.

Heights for sure. I swear anyone who isn't bothered by heights is a liar. We evolved to walk on the ground, fuck that flying shit.

I voted commitment and crowded spaces too, but I'd call them sources of mild discomfort than full blown fears though.

I would have added spiders at one point but they don't bother they don't bother me anymore. Now I think they are pretty chill.

And nuclear war used to scare me. Now it excites me.
