Hey Everyone,
For the good or for the bad, whether silly or serious, what are some things make your palms sweat with either anticipation, or anxiety?
* For example -- How do you feel about heights?
THIS gets my heart racing (in a very good way!)
I LOVE roller coasters and pictures like this get my engines running! I love the incredible speeds, the rushing of the wind, the loops and turns -- and I don't seem to mind heights if I'm strapped into a giant coaster. I figure, if God's going to call me home on that ride, it's going to be in a big way! (But hopefully He'll spare everyone else on the train.)
HOWEVER, things like this -- make my palms sweat!! -- and leaves my knees knocking in fear:
I do NOT like the idea of "open" heights with no railings, boundaries, or restrictions, and scenes like this drive me crazy. I just want to snatch the person back from the edge and put up all kinds of barriers so that people can't do this!
And when I hear stories of people falling of ledges like this, I physically curl up in reaction.
* Some other things that make my palms sweat and my skin crawl:
I don't care how cute the shoes are, I can't stand anything that goes between my toes! And just the thought of having to wear something like this makes me flinch (I wish I could, as I have to pass on a lot of really neat options.)
* And just the sight of certain fabrics and styles make me squirm, because I do NOT like rough textures or anything around my neck. Turtlenecks look GREAT on other people and I'm sure they can be cozy, but the thought of me wearing one makes me feel like I'm being choked:
What about you?
* What things make your pulse race with excitement -- or repulsion?
* What are the foods, textures, sounds, etc. that come to mind?
* What about situations like flying, small spaces, being alone in the dark, or in a large crowd?
I'm really interested in hearing about things that automatically cause you to have a reaction -- and the story behind why.
