Scared
Scared of;
1. Dying and knowing there is nothing I can do to stop it and that I will never seem my kids again (strangely not scared of them dying which is not the same as saying I would not be devastated if they did). Also dying alone.
2. Werewolves - Watched American Werewolf in London when I was around 9. Left a lasting impression to the point that I would have nightmares. This has mostly gone now. Werewolf movies will have a bit more of an effect on me that other horror movies but they do not stop me watching then now and then.
3. Swimming in the sea without being able to touch the bottom. This is from not easily being able to see what is under the mirror like finish of the water to what may be lurking underneath (damn you Jaws and Open Water).
4. Being sucked down by a sinking ship like in Titanic (just an example but not the cause of the fear).
Only 1. will cause me to worry now and then, 2. really does not bother me any more, 3. and 4. would scare the crap out of me (hopefully not literally especially as they both involve being in water).
Dislike;
Spiders but only the larger ones. Ickle ones are fine.
Most of the fears I think stem from the loss of control.
