Your Biggest Fears

[SeekaX]

I can imagine that some people are afraid of this kind of truth tbh...

Don't go thinking that we're insensitive dicks though. I've already lost more friends and family than I wanted to and I'm only 18. In some cases, manly tears were shed, but that's okay.

I don't believe in heaven or an afterlife, so unfortunately I can't tell anyone that a person will be smiling down on them, but I do know for certain that if I were to die, I'd like to go out doing something that I love and I love nothing more than my friends.

So therefore; Have a good time, always.

oh well i guess it is insensitive to some extend, but to me it just seems like other people are oversensitive. i highly doubt that the dead would have wanted their beloved ones to grief over their death for too long. three of my family members died over the course of the last year, one by suicide and two by cancer. i must admit that i don't have the strongest bond with my family, but it wasn't that hard for me to move on.
i don't believe in an afterlife either, but i spend quite a lot of time thinking about what is probable to happen after i die. it doesn't really scare me, it's more fascination.
ah well, i guess you will always be labeled the bad guy when you tell people to get their shit together, but someone has to do it.
/edit
there is actually quite a good explanation for people being so sensitive when it comes to beloved ones dying. we live in an age of peace. death, war and suffering are things that only happen on television, people are just not used to suffering, which makes the few times they have to suffer even worse. my parents divorce hit me pretty hard when i was a kid, not necessarily the divorce itself, but we also moved away and i pretty much lost everyone i knew. i guess that made me a bit less sensitive. i am actually quite glad that the divorce happened, it was the right thing. just like when my grandparents died of cancer, they suffered the last few years, it was definitely time for them.

One of my biggest fears is what is to come in the future i hate thinking about what is going to happen so i tend to just live in the moment ( cheesey i know ) :d

You guys don't have spiders like we have here Downunder we have spiders that are cousins to your Black Widow called Red Backs but the one we really worry about is called the Sydney Funnel Web Spider the fangs are so large and so strong they can punch through your big toe nail and their venom makes them one of if not the most deadly spider in the world, and to try and get over my fear of spiders I used to collect them live to send them off to milk them for their venom to try and get an anti-venom in the eighties.
Thankfully we do have anti-venom for them now but their bites are incredibly painful. Our snakes are also some of the deadliest in the world one particularly that we have around my area is the Eastern or King Brown lightning fast Bad tempered and and so toxic it's ridiculous I'm not overly scared but the idea of accidentally standing on one in the long grass doesn't exactly thrill me. And I could also go on about what we got in our oceans around us too but I won't just now LOL.

Not really weird, seeing as all the news lately is pretty depressing. Wars and natural disasters all over the place. The saddest part is that we all do it to ourselves.... :mellow:

Living in the moment seems like a good thing to do though

...

That's okay, I just slept anyway.... for the last time...

Yes they do they get brought to peoples homes in topsoil and the like and they like anywhere that is moist and humid, they can also stay alive on the bottom of peoples pools for over 8 hours as air gets trapped on the hairs of their bodies but they can't jump as some people have suggested it's just the force of their strike makes it look like they are jumping, the funnelweb srikes so fast that people think they have been bitten once but it is quite often twice and also they aren't very good climbers except the tree funnelweb that is.

how are you still alive? how did your ancestors not get extinct?

We also have the largest salt water crocodiles in the world up in the tropics, we have a blue ringed octopus that if it bites you there is still no known cure, we also have a toxic shellfish that will kill you also with no known cure, we also have up in the tropics 2 forms of highly venomous jelly fish and the list goes on and yet there are more deaths from road accidents than just about anything else.

That might just prove that Australians are terrible drivers...

My greatest fear realized not 12 hours ago. I was partitioning my system drive aaaand ... it's gone!

You will actually find that in most countries it's road accidents that kill more people than just about anything else

Drunk driving or "driving under the influence" is in the top 3 for biggest casualities in the US.

I could quite believe that I think people who drink and drive should be charged with attempted murder it would surely make people think first with that hanging over their heads

Hate spiders, a lot of the products in work come from abroad as well so I always worry that some beast is hiding in the pallets somewhere. Stuff used to come from Israel, there are probably some exotic monsters there, fortunately we don't get stuff from there now!

I don't really have a same kind of fear as you. I fear that something bad will happen to my kids (4 and 2 yo). especially about bigger dogs, fearing one will launch itself towards my kids and mauling them. I ques this fear comes from my childhood. i got bitten by a big german shepherd.
When I am out with my kids. I find myself pumped and and ready to fight after seeing bigger dog if the dog is not on leash.

You ruined the joke

...And my confidence of driving a car just when I've started taking driving lessons...

Thing is that drunk people don't think...

Sorry Mate I sometimes take things too seriously and don't worry about driving just remember to drive for yourself as well as others if that makes sense to you and you'll be ok

They are charged with that if they kill somebody. But they get a huge fine then someone bails them out and they are scott free after that. If they get caught more than once then serious charges are taken place. Not that it changes anything because everyone still does it

I used to help a buddy of mine with his race car at a local race track 20 miles from where I live. The race season went from early March to late November almost every Saturday night. We used to sit in the parking lot for 1 or 2 hours drinking beer after the races. I did that for almost 5 years and never got pulled over.
One Thursday night I was playing on a pool league and had 8 or 9 beers in about 4 hours , I was pulled over for speeding ( 53 mph in a 40 mph zone ) , and just barely pasted the DUI test. The cop told me to park my truck in a gas station parking lot for the night and have someone come pick me up.

That scared the crap out of me , I thought I was going to jail.
I think I was pushing my luck and it was only a matter of time before I got a DUI.
That was about 10 years ago , I don't drink and drive anymore.
As you get older you think about the stupid things you did when you were younger and consider the consequences .
Drinking and driving is a stupid thing to do , no matter how good of a driver you think you are.
