What are u afraid of and why?

Answer 1

I'm afraid of dead things... or more specifically, dead people.

Why?

Honestly, because when I was five years old, I had pneumonia and my mother (having all the parenting instincts of your average lizard) chose to simply lock me in my room rather than take me to the hospital.

The long story short is during my delerium I began to hallucinate that these rotting corpses and mummies were creeping across the darkened room and were attacking me and trying to drag me back to the cemetery with them and make me a dead thing just like they were, but as much as I screamed for someone to help me, no one ever came to shake me out of it and tell me it was only a bad dream... so while eventually I got over the illness, I never got over the fear of them.

And you know, the fact I know that rationally does absolutely nothing to make it any less scary.

Oh, and since they kept crawling out of the darkness of an open closet door, so to this day I can't sleep with a closet door open, either.

Answer 3

The main reason of fear is when we perceive that there can be a danger and if we can not react in time to avoid it. I afraid of 'unknown' on which I don't have control....
ex. afraid of 'darkness' in a strange place, because in darkness, I can't see and if there is any danger, I can not react and protect myself effectively. But if I am at home or some other safe place where I don't perceive any threat then at that time, not afraid of 'darkness' either. On same basis, I am not afraid of dogs but if I see a strange 'dog' coming towards me and I am not aware whether dog is disciplined or not, then I will be afraid because of 'unknown' nature of the dog and will take necessary precaution to avoid injury.
'Fear' is our inbuilt function in the body to understand the threat and take action to avoid it. And it is for our own good and not a shortcoming.

I hid in a trunk and got locked in and can still hear my mother crying and yelling because she couldn't find the key which she finally did thank god!
