What do you do when...?
You are alone in a house, and are fearful of your surroundings.LoL my biggest fear lol... Uncertainty of things... Yes I am alone lol.... I have a knife in hand cell phone by the bed phone by the cell phone mace in my lap, and some other weapons of minor destruction under my bed. I also have all of the lights on and a flashlight next to the mace.
Sure it's all in my head. Problem is I have the imagination of a 7 year old. I can make things appear that really aren't there. Like before I came upstairs, I thought I saw eyes, but they were really trash bags... Yet it took me 20 minutes to find a flashlight and mace... I already had the knife and cell phone.

i listen to my old childrens cassettes to forget things and to overhear frightening noises, make sure that i am 100% under the bed covers, so nobody or nothing can sneak under it, and i turn my head more to the cushion so i can't see nothing. i hate it when i think that when i open up my eyes again there will be someone... x.x ... -

jesus! are all of you just a tad paranoid? I have to get this off my chest: it's really sad to see americans fear about what's behind door number 1 or door number 2! it shouldn't be like that, we should be feared, we the people of the united states!!! I can't fear, I can't afford to fear there really is nothing to fear but fear itself! what, do guys live in the twilight zone or what?? -
raves Oct 24, 2008 01:18AM GMTYou mentioned that 'you Americans should be feared'. You do know that you are giving off a really bad impression of the United States then? You seem rather arrogant and you are also giving off the impression that every other country out there is terrible compared to America; like America is the best country on Earth.
I myself love America, and I am not an American citizen. I'm an Asian 14 year old teenager who will be moving there myself in two years.
The way you put your words, seems like every other citizen / resident of other countries should fear the Americans. Should we? Why should we? If others fear the Americans, things would be very different. If you fear someone, how do you make friends with them? If you fear someone, how do you get along well? If that is indeed the case that we must fear 'you people of the United States' as you had put it, business deals would turn out differently. It would be difficult to do trading and such, because you have to have a good relationship with the other side in order to make good deals and trades. If you fear someone, would you even go near them, much more contact them?
You say you aren't afraid of anything. Nothing to fear but fear itself.
So say, for example, if your 10 year old daughter is in the building when 9/11 occurred and...You mentioned that 'you Americans should be feared'.

So say, for example, if your 10 year old daughter is in the building when 9/11 occurred and was trapped there. Would you be afraid that your daughter may die when the building collapses on her? Would you be afraid that she wouldn't survive? Would you be afraid of the 'fear itself' or afraid of the fact that you may have lost a loved one?
You wouldn't be afraid?
You must be pretty heartless if you're not.(less) -
raves Oct 24, 2008 04:05AM GMTYou say "sorry", where as you exorcise the emotion of empathy when you also disregard the argument, showing the presence of the emotion "apathy". We have a psychological contradiction in thought process here.
There are several things to fear, to not have a healthy amount of fear would throw off the ability for the conscious mind to discern information effectively, and provide situational evaluation, thus actually weakening the individual and the group due to exposure to critical precautionary thought processes. This risk leads to an influx of misinformation and uninformation to occur, which consequently can only lead to several mistakes.
Absolute strength also dilutes the evolutionary process, making adaptation to new threats and high risk environmental factors less effective than that of a lesser level of strength working harder. Easily understood by the sciences of a transmission in an automobile. A transmission will spin the gears at say, 2200RPM, and that will be the shifting point at which a greater force period, or speed, will take hold in a new gear cycle. The nature of it, is a vehicle that must constantly remain in high gear, will never have any tactical advantage over a vehicle with a more effectively balanced gear ratio.
Now before you hand me the same "lecture"...You say "sorry", where as you exorcise the emotion of empathy when you also disregard the argument, showing the presence of the emotion "apathy". We have a psychological contradiction in thought process here.

Now before you hand me the same "lecture" statement, 3 paragraphs is hardly a lecture. You want a lecture, that takes several hours with a professor. Nothing but simple logic, simple examples, and deductive reasoning being converted over to conservative inductive prediction.
Good Day.(less) -
raves Oct 24, 2008 11:21AM GMT (edited)It's amusing how you seem to find my 3 paragraphs a 'lecture'. I was not lecturing you, I was stating facts. Your reply to my comment wasn't very relevant to my comment and that is not how things are. You're supposed to be the grown-up here. You should know this.
I have heard that term that only the strong survive. Strong in terms of education, mentality, emotionally and physically - yes. But, your reply to my comment isn't very relevant. What David had said above is indeed true. Oh, and you didn't answer my question. -
raves Oct 24, 2008 08:40PM GMTomg!! maybe the both of you need to seriously chill out and rethink about yourselves, I think I touched a nerve!! really!! but like I said save it!!!! your statements and thoughts mean nothing to me, the both sound really scared so really............... SAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! and FEAR IT!!!! it's what the both of you are good at!!!!

raves Oct 25, 2008 12:06AM GMTWell not all immature and little kids get into Ivy League now, do they? ^_^ I'm not going to waste my time talking to an immature grown man who is pointless to debate with because:
1) You debate like a child.
2) You're not even man enough to answer a simple question I asked.
3) Betting you have no balls :)
Have a nice day. Tah. -
raves Oct 25, 2008 12:06AM GMTDon't bother. He feels the need to be "supreme", the need to keep reaffirming in his mind his pet names for other people, and clearly he can't confront a statement, or question. Shoot his argument down, he just restates it in ignorance.
Sounds like one of those mentally troubled geek kids that got pushed around on the playground too much, so he started worshiping fictitious characters known for fear and mayhem (such as decepticons - his personal avatar). Now supposedly he preaches that fear is so terrible, yet he wishes to inflict it upon everyone but his own personal circle.
This screams of troubled geek on mental meds. For some reason he's rather hysterical too, an exclamation point after every sentence as if every sentence is a punch line (which it is, almost). -

I just stay on the computer and watch tv.
I only get freaked out if I'm home alone and there are a bunch of weird sounds or a door closes at the other side of the house. When this stuff happens, I walk around my house and check every room, my big dog at my side. (Check my profile to see a pic)
I usually don't get freaked out inside of my house, but I hate being locked out of my house. Once, I even broke in because both of my parents were at work and one of them was in a meeting.
But, when I "broke" in, I didn't break any windows! -

Sometimes at night when I'm on my computer, I get a glimps of a shadow out of the corner of my eye & I know I'm the only one awake. I use to get up & check to see if maybe one of my kids was sneeking out of their rooms, but I never found anything. So I just got use to it.

I'm always imagining "worst case scenarios". At night in bed, I wonder "What the hell would I do if someone came in the window. I don't have anything to hit him with." Hell, even driving...I hate crossing intersections and I cringe every time because I'm waiting for someone to run a red light and hit me and kill me.When I'm home alone and freaked out, I turn on every single light in every room. It usually chills me out.
