Have You Ever Been Afraid For Your Life?

[Danglyparts]

[Death-Proof-69]

yes i have on numerous occasions...i don't feel like going into details now cause they're long stories, maybe later :dunno:

When I was five I was already a smartass and pissed off one of my cousins who lived in a high rise apartment. The bastard picked me up and held me over the balcony 10 floors up.

Seriously though, I have been afraid several times. I got t-boned in a freeway accident about 16 years ago. I still dream about it once in a while.

Every time I got deployed to a hot spot overseas I felt a little scared. Not necessarily for my life but that I'd screw up and cost someone else his life.

I've been broke. I was so broke at one point that I got some help from social service agencies in order to eat, went to one of those mission-type feed-the-poor things one night. That was even scarier in a deep sort of way than a couple of muggings that I experienced years before that when I lived in downtown Boston.

You just got to hold it together and look for the opportunities to dig your way out again.

I live in Detroit. So yes!! :eek: All joking aside, I've been shot at and could hear the sound of bullets whizzing past my head / ear. I've had knives to my throat. I've had guns aimed @ me.

I've been sick a couple of times and didn't think I was gonna survive (not just lord help me I think I am dying) but my life was hanging by a thread type sickness a couple of times..

I almost died from an acute Asthma Attack, if I hadn't gotten the pills that I had just picked up from the pharmacy down my throat, I would have died right then and there, I am sure of it!!! :eyeso:

I have been in a few hairy car accidents where I should have died but miraculously escaped without serious injury. So yeah I have had my fair share of life threatening scares in my life so far, I am sure those won't be the last. :uohs::surprise:

Now I look back at that and wonder if I did the right thing. You see, this girl whom I had known for half of my life, and had thought of as the love of my life for almost a decade, to whom I had literally given everything I had, the one whose religion I had adopted because she wouldn't marry anyone who wasn't of her faith, the one whose parents had referred to me as a second son, the one for whom I would've bent over backwards for, showed me that loving someone not only makes you vulnerable, but it makes you their puppet. About 2 or 3 years ago, more or less, probably more, since I don't think I was yet a member of Freeones, I tried to give her a diamond ring. We had spoken about marriage several times before, and, though we hadn't explicitly agreed that we were gonna get married, it seemed clear that we would be together. Anyway, long story short, when I proposed to her, she rejected me, saying that she only saw me as a friend, and that she should've made that clear when she started seeing the signs years ago, but that she had gotten too comfortable with everything I did for her. She subsequently stopped talking to me, claiming that she didn't wanna hurt me any more than she already had. I guess what hurt the most was that everyone who knew us could see that I would've been the most devoted guy she could've found, yet she failed to see that.

So, yeah, ever since that I've stopped really caring enough to be afraid. Whatever.

^^This story makes me so mad every time I hear it
(I'm sorry GSB )

:eek::eek::eek:

These past few days my anxiety has been the worst its been since middle school. I've lost some money and I miss my family more than ever. And it's making me wonder if other people had moments in their lives where they actually feared for their safety and/or future. I don't like being gloomy but I have to get it out of my system.

well, u have friends here on the freeones to chat to !:hybrid: :thumbsup:

 

[ThatRedWing]

Actually afraid for my life, no. There have been a few times that I should have been.

One time two jack-asses got into a shouting match in front of my best friend's house and one of them pulled out a 9mm. We had a bunch of kids from the neighborhood playing in the front yard. My only thought was to stay between the idiot waving the gun around and as many kids as I could. They got spooked by a siren and took of after a few minutes.

Another time some moron pulled a knife on me at a party and I just laughed at him. I still have no idea what his problem was. My guess is that he was trying to impress his skank by making the "big guy" back down. It didn't work. If you are going to pull a knife on me, don't let me see it first asshole.

Then there was the time some jackass decided to park his jacked up GMC on the hood of my car in the middle of the intersection. I broke the steering column with my chest but walked away. He stayed long enough to make sure he didn't kill me and then took off on foot. I guess he thought it was better to take the "leaving the scene" instead of the "DWI". It was kind of different seeing the grill of a truck from that angle.

Yeah, I just froze up. I still have a thing about heights. ... Also about 10 yrs ago when I was working for BHP I had to fly out to a few oil rigs, so I had to do their Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) Course, for safety and insurance reasons. They have a simulator they flip over in a big pool and you take turns going out one side and then the other. To cut a long story short, I couldn't get out of my harness and nearly drownded before the safety divers could get to me. ... So now, when ever I fly over water I always get a "teensy" bit nervous.

Once I kicked a ball over the fence and it landed in Chuck Norris's backyard. I have to say that since I am typing this you can see that I didn't ask for the ball back. That moment was when I was afraid for my life when the ball went over the fence and landed where it did.

True story that
