Fear: what scares us and our responses?

[Guest Jupiter]

I've had really horrible dreams before. I always dream about suffocating or floating in around in a dark void or something not so great. Every now and than I dream about women.

well, with all the posts jupiter has made about hacking computers and windows os, i'm really scared about clicking on any posts or threads he's made

To be honest, I have really bad acrophobia. I dont scream or anything like that, I just freeze up and tremble. I don't like climbing trees, I don't like climbing ladders. I  really hate planes. Just really not my thing.

I'm kinda afraid of heights when I'm aware of how high I am off the ground, and I'm not on something sturdy, like a floor in a building or something.  I also don't like escalators.  I don't like they way I feel when I ride them, though I don't mind elevators.

Yeah,my wife doesn't seem afraid of heights at all. She's the kind of girl that would jump off a bridge or go bungee jumping.

I'm also kinda afraid of speed.  Though I'm a motorsports fan, speed has always sort of scared me when I was aware of how fast I was going.  That being said, I may've been in one of my father's Ford T-birds when it was going over 150mph once.  Why do I say that?  The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am we out-ran was brand new at the time--and governor limited to 151mph.  If the Trans Am was going full speed, we were going at leas 152 or so, if not more.  And that was a car that was a 4/5 seater with four people in it vs a brand new sports coupe that had a Chevy V8 out of a Corvette in it.

Chernaudi, because of your knowledge with vehicles. have you thought about taking up a career as a car salesman?

[*Chernaudi]

Nope, not really.  I'm not especially good with people I don't know, though you wouldn't think it on this board   I was just born into a car family.  Of course, with the T-bird, unless you looked at the speedometer, you'd have no idea how fast you were going because it was a luxury car with electronic suspension, though the car did have a sportscar like edge to it, it was more of a GT car.

Yeah, I get a little freaked if I'm going to fast and I feel like I'm going to role really hard and get scraped up. Not fun at all. I start getting an adrenaline rush.
