The Fear Game
The Fear Game
Okay, so this is kind of like the "One Lie Game" that I made, but this is to give a bit more variety. Like the last game, it helps us all get to know each other a bit better, but this time focusing on fears. Sometimes to get over our fears, we need to talk about them and know that is what we fear.
So basically, create a list of ten fears, with 9 fears that you actually fear, and only one that is a false fear. So the pattern is swapped from the last game. Then we can talk about our fears if they are guessed, too. If you are guessed, you can make another list if you wish. Have fun, and here is mine!
My Fear List:
1. Open spaces
2. Darkness
3. Spiders
4. Low ceilings
5. Cats
6. Suffocation
7. Decision making
8. Lightning
9. Water
10. Talking on the phone
Nine of these are real (among my hundreds of fears) and only one is false. Good luck! And remember, after the false one is discovered in any list, feel free to talk about the real fears, it really does help.

I am going to guess... 5. Or maybe 9? I'll guess 9.
I'll make mine soon.

Nope! I actually fear water, like fast moving or deep, dark water. I don't mind the ocean, or at least near the shore, not too deep. But when it comes to the deep end of a swimming pool, rivers, and so forth, it's just too much for me. Plus I have a medical condition now where I cannot even be in water, but regardless it is a fear of mine.
(April 27, 2017 - 6:31 pm)
I'm so sorry to hear that you have a medical condition that keeps you out of the water Ashlee!!
I'm going to guess.... 10.
If I get it wrong, can I guess again or not?
Here are mine:
1. Walls
2. Heights
3. Darkness
4. Being in small cars
5. Horses
6. Low cut clothes
7. Falling for a trap
8. Elevators
9. Speaking in public
10. Suffocation
I have mentioned that I actually like one thing on here....so...this might be easy.
It took a while to come up with ten! I don't think about fears much. XD

Not ten, I absolutely hate and fear talking on phones. I refuse to call even the hotel after leaving my jacket there, so I resorted to emailing. Sadly, they never replied so I will have to call *cringe*. And it's okay! It keeps me from being outside below 70 degrees without gloves and stuff too, which is a shame, but at least I can still be at the ocean and watch the waves or search for rocks.
Oh, and if you get it wrong you can definitely guess again! I am thinking either 5 or 9... But I am going with 5, horses?

HORSES! positivly #5!
Wow, I'm not afraid of very much, but I would agree with a lot of your list. Speaking in public and low cut clothes *shudders*
(April 28, 2017 - 11:03 am)
Myles!!! Where have you been?! I've missed you! I was worried you wouldn't come back! Welcome back!!!
And no... I am kinda afraid of horses. I worked with them for a long while, but I haven't for close to a year now and now when I'm around them I'm afraid that I will mess up or something...I've lost my confidence and I don't know what to do!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates low cut clothes...sometimes I wonder!
(April 28, 2017 - 3:27 pm)
I'm sorry, our computer has been broken.
I can relate to what you're saying about horses. Even though I am around the cows every day and I'm not scared of them, I just get nervous when I have to milk by myself.
hmmm... Maybe 3?
(April 29, 2017 - 11:00 am)
Hi Myles, I'm Quantum. I don't believe we have met yet, so hello if we haven't and if we have I'm forgetful.
(April 30, 2017 - 3:19 pm)
Hello Quantum (can I call you that?)! You probably have not met me, I have been on for a little over a month I think, but I can't post very often and then our computer was broken. I will try to post an I'm newish thread today or tomorrow.
(May 1, 2017 - 9:15 am)
Ahhh! I understand (it has happened here more then once!) Welcome back!
Yeah...I'm not at all sure what to do. I have always respected them (horses I mean, but computers too! Haha) I'm not totally freaked out about them, I just am a little nervous. I can understand that about milking cows.
(April 30, 2017 - 8:05 pm)
I forgot about the game! XD No it isn't three either. I'm not a huge fan of darkness.
(April 30, 2017 - 8:06 pm)
hmmm... maybe 1?
(May 1, 2017 - 9:09 am)
No, not walls. I rather don't like places that confine me.
(May 1, 2017 - 12:45 pm)
There's a post I haven't seen yet, but my guess is 5.
Here are my fears...at least nine of them:
1. Seaweed
2. Public speaking
3. Deep water
4. Heights
5. Pinocchio
6. Disappointing people
7. Getting sick
8. Roller coasters
9. Driving a car
10. Monsters under my bed
(April 27, 2017 - 7:56 pm)
Nope, not ten! I despise and fear cats, and their creepy little ways... you never know where they will be next. Surprisingly, it is an extremely common fear in the US.
I am going to guess... 1, seaweed? Although you have such a large span of fears, I really cannot be too sure. It's okay, I have a wide range too, I fear practically everything.
