I'm not afraid of heights per se, but they do make me uneasy cuz I start thinking about how much it would suck to be falling. ahhhhhhhhhh! haha

besides that, I'm not really afraid of anything I've found so far. I'm a little compulsive about washing my hands and that sorta thing. and I'm afraid of being white trash (cuz I'm trashy, but I'm not trash) haha

They don't have a name for mine...

Fear of the elderly (believe it or not old people scare me)

They don't scare me to the point that I can't function, but I am always really uncomfortable around them.

Alot of the things on that list most people have concerns about, but they don't think about them constantly.

bah...it'll only make u stronger rick.

i'm super scared of insects...so scared that i freeze when i see one and cry like a baby screaming "omma! omma!" (that's mom in korean) and she knows that hyperventilating scream so, she comes running with some kleenex.

i'm also afraid of being eaten alive by insects and by any form of suffocation...i'm super afraid of dying of asphyxia.

wooo someone needs a therapist!! lol



I'm not a fan of heights either.. I'm not totally afraid of them, but like Bruno, I always think about how it would suck to fall off and die!

IE - a friend's 23rd floor apartment.. at first the balcany is kinda scary but after about a min or 2, I'm used to it and stare over the rails no problem!
