This lady at work shared her lunch with me, and although it was delicious, I considered calling off sick and going home for the rest of the day when she told me she was going to share her meal with me. <br /><br />And my rational fear is to go blind. I already can't see without my glasses, the thought of not seeing the world terrifies me.

I'm flying to Las Vega for my next race, and I'm doing the one thing I hate most of all: flying over the Rockies. The last two times I've done that, we hit turbulence.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806404383790065626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-43642774540891159852017-07-23T08:32:54.952-04:002017-07-23T08:32:54.952-04:00Nope, i'm totally scared of crashing due to me...Nope, i'm totally scared of crashing due to mechanical problems as well.

I'm always scared security will take forever and then I miss my flight.

I never even thought about shorter vs longer flights. I'm more afraid of crashing via an error rather than terrorism. Although onetime I did convince myself there was a terrorist at our gate getting on our flight. Tall, slim shit dude with white hair and white mustache. He had two phones and one was a flip phone. In my ativan haze, that was a terrorist.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-47982169780778972192017-07-22T17:59:04.631-04:002017-07-22T17:59:04.631-04:00I hate snakes!

I would not go inside until the snake left. That meant I walked around my neighborhood more to wait until it moved, probably about 10 minutes! I knew it was harmless I just... hate even walking by them. I'm not really scared of flying so much but it does make me nervous that I'll miss the flight or board the wrong plane (not that you can really do that anymore since they double check so much) or something. But I'm glad you faced your flight fears for the vacation!Amy Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197087030892201936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-58686714660869791092017-07-22T15:26:07.724-04:002017-07-22T15:26:07.724-04:00I think your fears are related to control issues. ...I think your fears are related to control issues. I can say this without being offensive because I also have major control issues :). When it comes to plane crashes, snake bites and tornados there is fear because you have no control over these things. You can't fly the plane, your eyes can't look everyone at all times to see snakes in advance and you can't control the weather. When it comes to driving, while you can't control other drivers, you can control your car. You can tell yourself that if someone was coming to hit you that you would be able to react to it and possibly save yourself from being hit (even if there are instances where that is not true). That's my armchair psychologist theory for the day:)Kristinahttp://www.kristinarunning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-13848896792391407682017-07-22T08:37:09.285-04:002017-07-22T08:37:09.285-04:00You know I hate flying as well.

My rationale for that is that the planes that were hijacked on 911 were picked because they were non stop cross country flights and had enough fuel to do so. So yea, connecting flights for longer distance are always best in my mind!<br /><br />Any form of weather does not scare me but maybe it should. When I was younger I would always have a nightmare that my house was on fire. <br />Snakes don't scare me but i've never really given them much though. I always assumed because they don't have arms or legs that that I would be able to out run them or something. I am more frightened to see a bear.<br /><br />All your fears are totally rationale!
