What’s something that scares you?

As humans we are all born with 2 natural fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud sounds.

Me personally, I’m afraid of the ocean ( dark, mysterious, sharks, so much we have yet to discover)
And outer space ( the vast emptiness, cold, and the fact that there may be other life somewhere out there 🤔 I could ramble for hours 😅

I’m really afraid of extreme [b]heights[/b]. In the 90s I went with my mother to a brunch at Windows on The World (WTC). Riding the elevators up took all of my concentration and I wasn’t peering out the windows like the others. I was stressed until we left.

Years later, when I heard that people were jumping from that floor on 9/11, I was physically ill. 😞

@bijouxbroussard I seem to have a selective fear of heights. For example, the Empire State Building has a glass-enclosed observation deck, and I am just fine there, with my face to the glass. but a few stories higher is the outdoor observation deck, and I keep my distance from the ledge.

Ferris wheels and roller coasters are NOT for me.

But I have climbed mountains (on walking trails. nothing with scampering up rocks!) and I am fine with standing on a mountain top after the climb. On the other hand, if the mountain has a fire tower on top of it, I will not climb that!
