I took this little test from off of a MySpace bulletin. Supposedly, the fears listed are the top seventy common fears. I find it hard to believe that people are afraid of numbers. Advanced math, sure but odd and even numbers? That just sounds so bizarre! Anyhow, take a glance at the list and tell me which fears affect you.

If you get more than 30, then counseling is strongly recommended!
If you get more than 20 you’re paranoid.
If you get 11 - 20 then you are normal.
If you get 10 or less you’re fearless.

No one is fearless. I don’t have a lot of fears, and one of them wasn’t on the list. Still, under 10.

Open spaces, heights, deep water, drowning, flying in planes, jumping from high places, bridges, death, falling, large crowds, incurable diseases, becoming blind, bee stings.
Lucky 13!

Creepy noises at night, becoming blind, clowns, losing control, ghosts, death. Once you’ve been told you have cancer, not too much scares you, but I agree with Witchypoo - nobody is fearless and I’m sure there are some I’m missing that aren’t on the list.

Heights, Losing Control, Incurable diseases, Snakes, Death, but there’s a lot of things I’m afraid of that aren’t on the list. I’m not afraid of death in the way that I worry about it on a daily basis. But I do sometimes worry about losing one of my children, I don’t know how I would ever be able to cope with losing a child. And I also worry about how my children would cope without me, since I’m the only parent they have… or let’s say I’m the only parent involved in their lives.

I have lots of fears! But my greatest fear is to face with “insane people”, I feel like shivering.
But fears, are all in the mind. We should know how to handle our fears in life and learn to live with our fears! After all, we just realize that we are not afraid of that anymore.
March 6th, 2008 - 6:35 pm
I only have 2 fears - sharks and deep water. Luckily there’s not too many sharks here in Illinois…
March 6th, 2008 - 8:17 pm
I ticked off rats, dentists, blind, deaf and rape. By the scale you listed that makes me fearless but I dunno about that.

I’m afraid of facing my fears, so I don’t want to do that list.
I saw the top ones. Is fear of being married forever on there?
March 10th, 2008 - 2:52 pm
I couldn’t relate to most of the list, there are things that I don’t like like being in crowded places, but I’m not afraid of them, if I have to go to the city for a day I do it I just complain about the noise and the traffic and the crowdedness, same thing with rates.

Hey Dawn. I thought your RSS feed must be on the blink because I hadn’t seen any new posts in weeks. So I’m visiting the blog: Nope, RSS feed was not corrupted.
Where are you? Hope you are well. Please pop in and say hi…

Hi AntiBarbie,
They do not have a selection for the fear of answering quizzes to show how fearful you are. In reality, I am a ball of anxiety. The slightest thing can rankle me for days. The test for me is superfluous. It’s been a while since I came here and I just posted to me blog for the first time in over a month. My father is very ill and I’ve been helping to care for him. Add that to my list: the fear of getting old and not being able to care for myself. Thanks for the test. I’ll talk to you soon. -Mike.
April 6th, 2008 - 4:41 am
If someone knows what’s going on, please post here!!!!
Love,
Concerned granny
