I was taking a shower and meanwhile thinking about important stuff going on in my life. Suddenly I thought about a conversation me and a friend had about fears. Everbody has fears,some small and some serious,in this topic I would like to find out some of other people's fears. As a child I was mortally afraid of spiders,I would literally leave my room and sleep somewhere else if there was a spider too close to me. In time I got over it and now spiders really don't bother me anymore. My biggest fear I haven't gotten over,is drowning. When I was a small boy on my first trip to a pool,I slipped in the water and proceded to sink to the bottom. I was too panicked to save myself and those moment under water seemed to last an eternity. I was quickly helped up but have never shaken the fear of drowning. This hindered my learning to swim but eventually I learned to swim and now am a good and fast swimmer. Although I can swim and just water or pools don't scare me,I still fear drowning sometimes. I don't dare to go far in lakes or public swimming holes,or swim when I'm alone (except for a home pool). Also I'll never go diving,surfing on deeper water,do triathlons,rowing or on unsafe looking boats.... That's my fear gotten out of the way,now I would like to hear from others. You don't have to post how you got your fear or what possible downsides you receive from it if you don't want,but it might give some insight. Also nobody should be ashamed of their fears,alot of people are afraid of alot of things,ranging from dogs,balloons,open spaces,colors to spiders,drowning,hights,clowns... I would like to keep this topic as decent as possible so no flames,no insults,no laughing at other peoples fears,spam...
