¿Fear?

Phobia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A phobia (from Greek: φόβος, phobos, "fear"), is an irrational, intense, persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.

I fear upsidedown question marks the most.

Actually I have one slight fear and one true phobia. Snakes creep me out. If it is someone's pet like a boa, I will hold it if the owner picks it up (so I can make sure it won't bite me trying to pick it up) but if I see a snake in the wild I stay the hell away. Even little garter snakes. I was bit once by a garter when I was six years old and I am now always afraid they will turn on me and bite.

My only true fear though is needles. I hyperventilate and will get tunnel vision and come close to passing out anytime I need a shot or have to give a blood sample. And I am 33 years old. I just really, really hate needles.

I'm fine with any snake that doesn't have venom. Spiders scare me... because they have venom. Needles are frightening on many levels, partly because, well, they can be used to inject venom. My greatest fear is probably poisons, viruses, and other things that we just can't fight against because they're so small yet so harmful. Probably related to me being 6'5" and believing in the overwhelming power of technology and science to allow humans to surpass any creature's natural weapons... yet we can still die to the wrong spiderbite in minutes, before our precious anti-venom can be reached.

Otherwise I'm mildly afriad of most anything that could kill me... and needles. I dunno why, just that little pinprick hurts enough to build up the fear of a coming shot and blow it way out of proportion.

The thing thatscares me the most is the thought of losing the only person I have left in this world. That is my Half-Dragon son Issaic, I myself am a 1,502 year old Brass Dragon. Though I know I will out live him, that I can accept but I fear him dieing a death at the hands of some monster or other foul villan. That is my one great fear my othe is losing all 8 tons of my gold and gems.

Oooh, eight tons!

This is weird! I am afraid of crowds of people! I was at a festival at the village, and someone pushed Arisaa and she fell on my back and I got all very startled and I went and breathed at her and everyone! I was lucky, I just breathed sleep. The kebab-griller fell asleep on his grill and grilled his face. Next time what if I breathe heat? What if I breathe heat and everybody dies?

So I am afraid of crowds.
