"What's your worst nightmare?"

Is there something in this world that brings shivers down your back? Or something you cant stand to think about? Heights? Rabid monkey attacks? Drowning?

Everyone has a worst fear. What's yours?

Yep which is illogical. You will die so what is the point of having a fear about it.

I wouldn't actually go that far. I used to have a real phobia about them but then when I met my other half he had three of them. I just got used to them - as long as they were in their tank :)

I wouldn't be weary, I'd just come to a halt and stare at the snake whilst urine dripped down my leg.

Oh I'd be weary of a snake in the wild, I wouldn't know if it was venomous or not.

Still, IMO they're adorable creatures. I love 'em.

gerrid, that makes sense though. If you die then that's it (in my opinion) and nothing is more frightening than the prospect of the end of everything. I'd rather be suffering, knowing that there's a chance I could live however small that chance be, than be dead.

Gorgeous? Snakes just look evil, they can go on land or water, they can be big or small, and they're just creepy. I'm not to bothered when I see a snake with a trained handler (not that I'd jump to the chance to go and hold it) but if I saw one in the wild I know I'd freeze.

Yeah but if you die in a plane crash or whatever, it's ARG PAIN end, but if you survive it then it's like ARG PAIN NIGHTMARES ARG MORE PAIN.

Getting buried alive and NOT dying should be worse than dying, eventually, surely. It just seems like people are scared of dying rather than the situations.

Ooh no, snakes are gorgeous!

Everyone's different though...

Of course, because that can bring the ultimate despair and pain.

I find that if there's something I'm scared of, but someone else is with me who is more scared, then I'm not scared anymore. It's strange.

Everyone's worst fear seems to involve dying somehow.
