Blog #62: Fears!

There are a lot of things that scare me, such as horror films, snakes, sharks, heights, etc. Also, I am afraid of some more abstract things, such as dying alone or not succeeding in life. But, I think for this blog I will blog more about the lighter topics that scare me. Most horror films where things pop out at me scare me. I hate when things jump out at you and you had no idea that it was coming. I also hate horror films that are based off of real stories because it freaks me out thinking that things like a stalker could be watching me. Horror movies about ghosts, like paranormal activity, scare me because they make the stuff seem so real. I know I probably seem like a big baby, but I am sure that everyone is afraid of something. I am also afraid of snakes and sharks. I get shivers down my spine every time I think about a snake or see a snake. I cannot stand how slimy they are and how they just wiggle around on the ground. I hated the movie snakes on plane (yes I know it was fake and was a horrible movie) because it made me think about what if I was trapped somewhere and a bunch of snakes got lose. I do not know how the people on fear factor can lay in a container with snakes crawling all over them and not freak out. It is the same thing with sharks. I know that we don’t taste good to them, but it is the thought of being helpless in the ocean and a shark attacks you and there nothing you can do about it. I know the chances of it happening are slim to none, but they are just so strong. Heights are probably up there next to snakes because I do not like being off the ground and not having control. For example, we I went up the tall building in Chicago, I started to freak out because I felt that the tower was moving. I know that all of my fears may seem stupid, but I can’t help it! They scare me!
