what scares or creeps you out?

[Furbob]

after watching the "Why Are Things Creepy" vid on VSauce I was quite interested in wondering what things are people afraid of

the dude said there 3 types of scary

1. gross-out - things that gross you out like diseased or infected things
2. horror - things that you dont expect like being grabbed in the dark
3. terror - feeling like something is breathing on your neck but when you turn around there's nothing there

anyway, I'm personally scared of

-spiders
-the dark
-majority of video-game-related-stories-on-creepypasta
-that scene from The Ring (jap version)
-Slendermen
-videogame zombies
-falling down stairs (I tend to hold on rails all the time)

I find that im easily scared nearly flipped my shit when I was at uni and turned my head to see taiga's face going "O_O" right next to me

what do you find scary and how do you deal with your fears?

You know, just the usual stuff: creepy crawly insects, sudden loud noises, diseases, accidentally killing everyone in a car crash when I'm driving, failure and murderers.

I usually try to avoid them if I can. It's much easier than facing them.

Earthquakes
Spiders
Mice
Chucky (Creepy)
I can remember these ones so far

Interesting post!

For me, in terms of animals, it'd be frogs, rats/mice, geckos, crows, and leeches and all creepy crawlies D:
In terms of potential events, I'm always scared that the brakes on the car I'm driving will stop working all of a sudden (LOL), and also stuff like being followed or falling off a high place or off a train platform lol
Also, when it comes to "horror" all that evil spirits/demonic possession/exorcism kind of stuff just scares the living daylights out of me *shudder*
Also, I found owls to be freaky for a few months after my friend made me watch the trailer for The Fourth Kind but now I'm over that

I deal with my fears by just avoiding them and taking precautions haha

i'm deeeeeeeaaathly afraid of spiders. I'm also terrified of other gross bugs/insecty things (cockroaches/moths etc)

...i'm also afraid of holes. no really.
(its called trypophobia)
(this is why noone takes me seriously))

I can slightly empathise with you, I'm personally afraid of ant holes. I remember walking home one day and when I looked at the floor there were sooo many ant holes. I was so scared that I ran home!!

I'm also afraid of:

The dark

Losing my sister

Dying

Paranormal entities

Getting into cars (I'm not necessarily afraid, I'm just hesitant to do so) esp when it's not my family's car.

aww! is it the ants you're scared of or the holes though? i'm sure i'd do the exact same thing if i came across a bunch of holes with the potential of ants crawling out of them :C

ahaha there's this library at uni that everyone loves but the ceiling is covered in holes and i can't even bare to walk into it. Q__Q

Possibly so. However, it could be a combination of both.

I'm afraid of manual labour.
