Here at the dentist.

It is without doubt my number 1 fear. I would rather be in a room with a Taipan. I am sure it is largely irrational......but its not . Dr Singh is a lovely guy and he puts up with me more than he should. The "butcher of bombay" is a fine dentist who managed to take a fine hook at my root canal 18 months ago. 

I am going in. 

 

Your worst fear?.....fess up ?

Forgetting about daylight saving and missing 24:24! Happened once and all the VRDAs were gone - back when such things could be found. I am still terrified of it happening again.

Try that Root Canal without anesthetic, of any kind. My grandfather was a dentist and had 9 Grandchildren to provide free dentistry too. He didn't waste money on any "luxuries". You'll be fine. 

I would have said Heights about 10 years ago, then I started climbing Cell towers for work, now Skydiving is one of my favorite things to do. 

Being Buried Alive would have to be at the top of the list now. After earthquakes you hear stories of people being buried in buildings for  days before they're rescued. That's the worst fate I can imagine. I just don't see exposure therapy helping here.

For cigar related fear, cigar beetles and mold are the main fears since they literally can destroy my cigar collection within a day. Other than that, exam is the worst enemy IMHO (even surgery is not that stressful as exam).

P.S. Missing 24:24 offerings also terrifies me!

Spiders. Mother effing spiders. Big ones, small ones, hairy ones, bald ones. Doesn’t matter. Burn em all.

I'm with you. When I was 11 I got flung off the handle bars of a bike as fast as it would go. The whiplash blacked me.out a bit as I went down. Landed teeth first on the sidewalk. They basically exploded. They were picking out pieces from my gums in the ER. One they just completely ripped out right there. They also ripped the nerve out with some plier like tool. That set up about a year of painful dental work. 

Shortly after they went to take out my wisdom teeth. Mistakenly sliced a nerve. Have permanent nerve damage. 

Later in life decided irish hurling would be a fun sport. I was too much of a tough guy for a helmet. Took a Hurling stick to the mouth... right on my bridge. Concrete fused to my teeth cracked. 

$20k later and many visits later, yeah. Hate that.

But really my biggest fear right now is keeping my 16 month boy safe. You see all this horrible stuff going on and know you cant be there to protect him all the time while hes growing up.

It’s not heights that scare me...it’s the fear of falling from them. My feet tingle uncontrollably just watching some of our guys walk along the edge of two-story roofs or framing without a care.

Netflix has already pulled it for being "fake news".

 

I'm going to go with old wooden rollercoasters for me.  Ridiculous contraptions.  You just know those ancient wooden supports are going to give way just as I finally give in and go for a ride.

Try an SVT and ablation! Roughly the equivalency of a root canal, except on your heart.

After hours of it, I finally told the doc to take this shit out of my arteries before yank them out myself... Thank God and some skillful people it worked!

Every time if my wife calls, I strain. She is a great alarmist and does not know how to clearly formulate a thought. Her standard is to call and shout "Our son / daughter fell off the bike and crashed." It’s good that there is a messenger and I can immediately see the photo, that this is an ordinary abrasion. Then each time I explain by phone how to treat a wound ...

I was recently reminded of one of my greatest fears. I have a good friend who has recently joined the local speleological society. He keeps trying to get be to go along. Not a chance. I'm not afraid of heights, and I am not claustrophobic either, but I am 6'5" and I have a big head. Nothing scares me more than being trapped several hundred meters or even kilometres underground stuck in a squeeze. I can't help thinking of the poor guy, John Jones, he eventually died after being trapped for many hours and was left in the same position in the Nutty Putty caves in Utah in 2009, because they couldn't get him out of the vertical squeeze he got stuck in.

An EMP attack or event in the USA.  Either one could cripple our country.

It's not an if, but when as far as unstoppable natural phenomena.  And it can devastate the whole world, not just one country, especially considering the degree to which we import and export goods and services.  We were possibly 9 days of space away in 2012 from not being able to read and respond to this thread.

My fear is, recently, dying. For years, I was proud of my fearlessness of death.  I have what I feel is a solid and well-thought-out cosmological outlook and death to me is practically a misnomer.  This new fear of mine is all about selfishness due to wanting to be around my children in perpetuity because they are so much fun.

I also get a bit shaky anything more than 20 feet above ground.
