The Fear Game

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

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.

Ooo hard one Riddler! Is it 1 or 2? Yeah, the idea of there being complete nothingness is pretty scary to think about. But I believe only if you just believe that Jesus died for you and took away all of our sins, you will have ETERNAL LIFE with God!!!  That's forever!!! Is that not awesome?

Amen, Tuxedo! This is, indeed, factually awesome. As in, creating and derserving awe.

@ Pepper, nope! *Shudders* Open spaces are terrible places! Not outdoor open spaces, like meadows and beaches, those are beautiful. But indoor open spaces like mansions. I don't really know, but I am terrified of mansions and large houses because you don't know what could be right around the corner, it's just... yeah, not for me. I like small places, like cabins and whatnot.

Nope. Mirrors creep me out. This one girl told me a horror story once, and I can barely look at my own reflection anymore. I'm begginging to get over it, but mirrors are still creepy.

@Booksy, Yep! I am not afraid of bugs, except spiders. But they're arachnids. 

I am terrified of getting in trouble and staying home alone at night.

I want to do this but I seriously can't think of enough things that I'm afraid of. Like really, it's weird. I don't know why but I sort of want to find something I'm afraid of. Would anyone like to help me?

I had the same problem. Maybe reading through the comments and fear lists that people made will help??

@Silverwaxwing - Yep! I have no fear of snakes. I find them rather cute, actually.

@Silverwaxwing - Yep! I have no fear of snakes. I find them rather cute, actually. But I am terrified of slow dancing, and the idea of being asked out. Not that either of those have ever happened.
