Who's to say there's always a railing? Mountains, for instance, do not have railings.

I don't think there's a name for this, but I have an unusual fear of silence. I always need to have a TV or fan or something making some noise for me to sleep. I get the sickest, creeping feeling when it's totally silent.

I love heights, by the way.

Actually the fear of silence is called "sedatephobia".

And you wouldn't survive a day with me. I can't STAND noises so whenever it's physically possible, I turn absolutely everything off in my house and do my day to day stuff in silence. (Or at least, as quiet as I possibly can get it.) I honestly think that's why I'm such a night owl. I can walk outside and it's perfectly quiet.. can't do that during the day.

Or maybe I wouldn't survive a day with you... lol

It was a hiliarious scenario in real life too. Her reaction to the wasp and then her pulling her trousers out a little to see what happened then the wasp just buzzes away through the space, and then you have me offering crisps as medical help as she runs around in fear

Thats what I think it is, because someone had a bad experience and then told a story about it but exaggerated the spiders power, now making it a fearful creature capable of toppling man!

My friends a pilot in the RAF.....He's scared of heights and gets to fly their fighter jets.....but won't climb a tree even with safety equipment on

I don't fear silence, but I don't like it. I have to have music, or the TV on in the background or I start to get anxious. I like stepping ouside to listen to the waves hit the shore and the birds sing in the wee hours of the morning. Silence svcks. Makes me think too much.

I admit I have a fear of loss.

I'M FEARLESS
