I have a bit of claustrophobia, but not of tight spaces. Trapped in an elevator? No problem. I'd probably take a nap and enjoy the isolation.
But where I'm claustrophobic is with crowds and groups of people that I can't move through. Anywhere that something might happen causing people to panic. I really, really don't like situations like that.
On a more depressing note, I'm very afraid of death; not mine as it would affect me, but how it would affect others. I lost my only sister 12 years ago, and it was devastating for my family. Once we're gone, we're gone - but the pain that people go through is very difficult. So, likewise, I guess another big fear is losing those that I love and that are close to me; I've been through that. Nothing is worse than knowing you will never, ever seem someone again. Nothing. I've been there... normal day, going about life, a tragic thing happens to someone, you learn of it, and nothing is ever the same again. I try and say my prayers that those I love and care about are safe and protected everyday. Life can be taken away so suddenly. It's pretty much the most looming realization in my life, not to the point of depression or obsession, but - if you've been through something awful like this yourself - you know just what I mean. It really sucks to be part of this group, but hopefully it makes you try and live a good life, be a decent person and be kind to those around you.
- I fear death in much the same way, but more because I have never lost anyone really close...MrOneHundred
