What are your fears? An (hopefully) evergrowing list of all the escapists fears!

[Hiikuro]

I have had a fear of alcohol and dogs, now I just feel mildly/moderately uncomfortable around any of them them.

And I do have a moderate fear of spiders.

Other than that I have an inability to form intimate bonds, which I'm fairly sure is partially rooted in fear.

The following fear will probably make no sense, and i can't really explain why I have it, but it's there, terrifying me every now and then.

I am scared of heights... kind of. You won't get me near cliff edges or up a tree or near the edge of a roof. However, if you put me in a secure environment and I will dangle 30 feet in the air with nothing holding me up but a climbing harness and climbing rope without a care in the world. or ride that rollercoaster with the 400 foot drop. I'm also perfectly fine with airplanes and driving over high bridges. Walking over high bridges, I tend to avoid the edges near the railing, though.

Yes there is.

Not sure what the name is, but there's a phobia for EVERYTHING, and the funny thing is, there is always someone with that phobia. No matter how unimaginable it is to live that. Phobia for the sound of breathing excists.

Think about that for a second.

I don't know, but this made me think. If there is a phobia for that, I suspect I have it.

Extreme symmetry and similarly perfect regularity. GAH.

 

[WhiteandNeardy99]

Spiders, heights and needles more specifically dirty ones and the junkies with them.

Losing the person I love.

 

[BabyRaptor]

*Spiders (got bit by one about a year ago, had no idea what happened at first so I ignored it...The resulting wound was a tad traumatizing)
*Thunder
*Escalators (I will explain this...If I really have to)
*Needles (Despite my 3 tattoos)

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

I'm scared of mirrors.

Not so scared that I can't use them on a day to day basis but I do occasionally get freaked.

It's more at night. At night I will point blank refuse to look (even out of the corner of my eyes) at mirrors. In my old house we used to have tons of them in the hall between the lounge and the stairs and I hated staying up late alone because of it.


Horror movies (or music videos) that involve things coming out of mirrors or things that aren't there being shown in mirrors or things that are there not being shown scare the hell out of me.

Like the classic horror movie scene where someone is in the bathroom cleaning their teeth and they adjust the mirror and someone is suddenly behind them. Hate it.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Ceasing to exist.

I'd take any hell over just going into oblivion, losing all thought and sentience...

*brr*

 

[badgersprite]

Spiders, heights, balloons, failure, public speaking, and most forms of insects.

I probably have other phobias but they don't crop up as often.
