Come one escapists. You all know you had one. What was your embarrassing childhood phobia? To be honest, mine was balloons popping. I am over this now, but back then it was like poison to me. So again, what was yours?

Commitment.
I could never choose just chocolate or just vanilla...
How could anyone make that decision?!?

Two things, Porcelain dolls and having my back to an outer wall on the first floor of a building. The dolls still creep me out a bit, but am mostly over that one. The wall thing I am still paranoid about. Always feel something is going to break through and grab me.
Your probably right. I got migraines very easily as a child.Astiahl said:"Balloons popping" is likely just a sub-category of loud scary noises. Mine was automatic toilets...not sure why, really.
Fear of vampires
Fear of lethal spiders spawning under my covers at night.
Those are the phobias I had as a kid, and then outgrew.
Right now, my only phobia is Wasps. I had that as a kid too, but come on, I got stung twice as a little guy, and those things are nasty, angry little things!

I hated that feeling, when my stomach turned because my Mom knew I was lying to her...Evelynia said:
But I was deathly afraid of water. I would scream in fear if I was held in a pool or the ocean. Now, I love swimming, so it's funny how I grew so differently.
Insects, dogs and heights all got to me.
I've conquered most of my fears, still get a little spooked with heights even though my job has me climbing roofs....bugs still scare me to death though :S

I still intensely dislike handling other peoples' dirty dishes. Not to the extent that it's a phobia, but it makes me feel very... unclean. I have to wash my hands instantly after handling said dishes.
Good thing it wasn't often expected of me as a child, though perhaps that would've helped me not feel how I currently do about it.

Hey, I'm just saying, if you like to
in your spare time I suppose it's not really my place to comment, just some may not be so accepting of it in this day and age.tr00per7 said:
Water. I don't mean any water, just large volumes of it. I hated going to the beach, heavy rain made me feel horrible, and swimming pools terrified me.
Which is my justification for not learning to swim until I was 15 years old.
Also heights. I've still kind of got that one, but nowhere near as bad. I just feel a bit nervous when stepping out on a high-up balcony.

Well it was short lived, but for weeks after watching the 50s War of the Worlds film I was inwardly terrified of street lights, always moving past them quite quickly. They looked a lot like the heat rays on the alien flying machines.
