maddmaxx ★ Posted May 16, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2022 I'm afraid of heights but lately I've started having bad dreams about being caught in a small space and not being able to maneuver to get out. The latter is understandable as I had an experience like that while in the service and perhaps old man memories have floated it up near the top again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted May 16, 2022 Share #5 Posted May 16, 2022 Making a damned fool of myself in public. Public speaking was hard for me so I became an instructor which helped some. Making an error while playing sports also worried me much more than it should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me a PM if you think his vast store of working knowledge in this area might be of benefit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted May 16, 2022 Share #10 Posted May 16, 2022 Not exactly afraid of but concerned about and respect for big trucks on the interstate. I drive it about every day on probably the busiest highway going east to west. I’ve seen what happens when cars and semis collide at 70 mph. It’s not pretty. I always try to make room for them when they need to change lanes and when I pass them I try to get it over with quickly and not drive along side them for miles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect your past experience plays into this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted May 16, 2022 Share #14 Posted May 16, 2022 Heights. Climbing a 25 foot ladder to paint my old one scared me a LOT. But I got it done. There is one window on my new home that I needed the ladder to wash. I decided the window still looks clean to me. Then again... going for a hot air balloon in Sedona and probably 1000 feet (or more) above the ground in an open air basket... I was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand this. When in Singapore a few years ago we had a room that high at the Marina Bay Sands. I stepped out onto our balcony to take some pictures of the Singapore harbor and suddenly had a panic attack. I had to lean back against out window and slide across till I could get the door open behind me and back into the room. That was not fun even though the pics were pretty good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted May 16, 2022 Share #22 Posted May 16, 2022 I'm most afraid of vehicles approaching or passing me not paying attention and running into me. I've witnessed enough cases of bad drivers that I think that's a rational fear. I've also been so tempted to retaliate that I have to calm myself down so that road rage doesn't cause me to ram the son of a bitches. I go out of my way to slow down or stop and pull toward the side or a small road to let approaching cars pass. When someone is flying at 80-90 mph on an expressway and is weaving between lanes, I make sure I'm not going to get cut-off by the fool - I've seen them begin to move into my lane before they've passed my car.
