For me, it's injections, hypodermic needles. Not pricking my finger by accident, or anything like that, but for vaccinations or blood tests, I will lock my muscles, shut right up, and make a spirited attempt to crush the arm rest of the chair until it's over. According to my mum, when I was younger, they tried to get a blood sample from my heel, but they kept pricking because they couldn't find anything, and apparently I screamed the ward down. That's probably the cause of it.
Heights (or at least falling from them), drowning, and the living dead.
...What? It's a legitimate fear!

I still get slightly alarmed when I hear a loud motors in the distance when I'm walking alone, particularly motorbikes. I hate the thought of walking through a field with these loud metal things whizzing around me.
I feel bad for making fun of people being scared of spiders. I used to pick up the tiny spiders by their threads and jokingly threaten squeamish people.
I don't have tryphophobia, I can stomach looking at lots of things without showing a reaction, but I have a distaste for things like that...

I do not. No phobias. Sorry.
Also, I quite like spiders. The cute little ones anyway. The big ones, like the Huntsmen (Huntsmans?) I just leave alone, because they hunt our roaches. But I like most insects. Also, Praying Mantis' are so cool, and we get a lot of them around here. Cute lil fellas.

Social phobia... and it has completely ruined my life. >.<
Also panick when an insect start flying around my face.

Heights. I hate not being on the ground or on a stable paltform that doesn't move up and down. That's why I don't get on many rides at the state fair.
Lakes/Rivers/Oceans. I was stung my a massive jelly fish when I was seven only yards from the beach. It was the third worst pain I have ever felt, and it lasted for a week. I have yet to forgive ANY aquatic life since then.
Spiders.
On the monday of this week, the night before my driving test, a huge spider disappeared underneath my bed. I spent half an hour searching and waiting for the bloody thing to reemerge but in the end I had to sleep downstairs on the sofa...

No I meant that being afraid "of heights" is a misnomer.samwd1 said:
The correct term is being afraid of falling, as it rationalises the phobia to others.
I severely doubt that people who suffer from this phobia are afraid of looking at skyscrapers, because I sure as hell am not.
Moths don't really bother me that much, but if there's a wasp in the room, in definetely on edge.
Spiders. God damned spiders. Even the small ones invoke the screaming girl inside of me, if they get too close. The big ones, well.. I don't usually stay in the same 20meters with it for long. Or, if I can manage it.. Purge It With Fire or a Sharp Object with Reach.
Also, claustrophobia if it deals with my legs being contained/restrained. The arms tend to be alright, otherwise.

Same here. There was a cricket in my stairwell the other day. I don't know where it was, but I could hear it. Took me 10 minutes to go all the way down the stairs for fear it'd jump out and grab me or something.Arina Love said:
