[Closed] things that scared you as child and still do being an adult

Dying young...

Being sane in an insane situation, or being the only one telling the truth in a situation where everyone around me is lying.

Prison.

T-Rexes

Ermmm! Nope sorry can't think of any.

Being an adult.

Fatcha.

Russia.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Horrendous. Scared stiff of it still now in my mid 40's....

Silly I know but I simply can't watch a moment of it.

Snakes. Slithery little buggers

Moths.

Death. Terrifies me.

Idiot car drivers

American werewolf in London

I know it's supposed to be comic. But I can't watch it without lunging for a pillow to hide behind. Shouldn't have watched it when I was 10.

as in, feeling quite uneasy?
This book - or really, the cover - have never forgiven my dad for reading it with such glee. Maybe comes of being a bit spectrumy but found it horrible..

Dogs. Beans.

Those fillums about nuclear armageddon from the cold war.

Moths.

TESTIFY, BROTHER!

Heights too. Had to get over this a bit for chairlifts/gondolas and the like but even then the vanois express made me want to curl up in a ball on the floor 😆 I've still never ridden the chute at the end of mcmoab, not because of the feature itself, but because I get the fear even just climbing up to it or standing near the top.

Being the last person to post on a thread

Getting caught

The tories

CFH wins the thread. Noseybonk is the scariest thing ever. Fact.

Dentists.
& prison. I work in one & it scares the crap out of me every day.

Bananaman.

Rollercoasters. Cried my eyes out on some rickety old thing made out of old pipe-cleaners or something when I was a kid. Can barely look at one now without my heart rate going up.

That face at your window

CFH wins the thread. Noseybonk is the scariest thing ever. Fact.

I'd never heard of Noseybonk, but holy shit yes. That's terrifying!

Rollercoasters. And heights/exposure.

Edges
Such as edges of cliffs, buildings, quays etc. ever since I almost fell down a large open manhole on a buildings site as a six year old. Still have nightmares about falling over edges.

One of the many good things about mountain biking is that It is helping me overcome my fear of edges but there are still some drop offs that I can't do because they just spook me, and some traverses that are too cut away to one side freak me out.

After taking months of getting the Nosey Bonk theme out of my head recently it's now back.

Ooh! Salem's Lot yeah that freaked me out.

as above dentists trained by the Marathon Man film dentist.

Drowning, nearly drowned when i was a kid, still afraid of deep water

Cows: Big, horrible, dead eyes. Taste nice though

Stop posting that picture of the girl/ghost thing at the window. Now I can't revisit this thread!

Flipping terrifying that. 😯

Heights and women with hairy armpits 😳

Girls.

For some reason caving. Something was on over the weekend that had someone crawling through a small cave. Not for me!!

To quote from the film featured on page 1.

"spiders and women...........and spider women"

I'm with Stonor, "that" film. scared the shit out of me. still shapes my nightmares

Stickle bricks

There was a fire safety video at school, showing how quickly to could burn to death in a living room, one of the things they focused on was the melting stickle bricks.

What was the main kids toy in my (not very friendly) dentists as a kid? Yep, stickle bricks....
