The 10 Day 'You' Challenge: Day 8 - Eight Fears


Image Source: thadz

Ghosts: Terribly afraid! In fact, even as I was writing this and searching for pics, my heart was racing!
Darkness: Probably connected with the above fear! Much like the infamous Boggart (Check out the link non-HP readers!), shadows start taking on suspicious shapes and menacing figures all around me in the dark! How did i manage to live all by myself for months together? No idea! My husband and I have had several fights on who turns off the lights at night every day (obviously it’s him ;-))
My loved ones dying: I love my life but I am not afraid to die as such although the thought of facing the loss of my near and dear ones, makes my heart grow cold.

Manner of dying: As said, I’m not afraid to die. But if I have to I’d rather take the quickest possible route please. The worst fear is as I have mentioned here, my flight landing in the middle of the ocean and drowning :-(
 Getting bed-ridden/immobile: Be it at a young age due to some god forbidden accident or simply old age, I really don’t want to lie in a bed, depending on someone for every small need, however personal it might be. Given a choice, I would rather choose ethunasia.
Meeting new people: All ye introverts out there - I am one amongst you! I am pretty apprehensive of meeting anyone new, so much so that I'm often perceived to be rude, unfriendly or snobbish. (Although in some cases, this might actually be considered true ;-))

Creepy-crawlies: Ewwww! Cockroaches, snakes, bugs, worms – all send a cold shiver down my spine. In one of the houses I lived in, slugs would regularly creep in at night into the kitchen through the back door. If you happen to go want a glass of water in the middle of the night, you’d better throw on your spectacles, switch on the lights and keep your senses alert for those slimy creatures!
All my teeth falling out too early: I brush, floss, use mouth wash as well as chew sugar-free gum. I am forever scared that my teeth are going bad and have even had horrible nightmares that they all fell out much too soon!

  3. Oh my! I knew that most of your fears would be similar to mine, but I never expected you to have the exact same fear regarding teeth!! I have had so many nightmares that my teeth are falling out! I envy those with pearly white teeth, especially when they take such little care and eat all the candies in the world ;)
