I am frightened of thunderstorms, bees, and large bodies of water. I almost drowned as a child during a family vacation in Quebec. It's haunted me to this day. :(

Oh, I definitely hear you when it comes to bees and big bodies of water too. When I was young, I used to make my ex best friend carry me across a field near her house because I knew there were bees in there :lol: I think I was scarred for life after seeing the movie 'My Girl'.

I'm also afraid of dogs, flying, windmills (strange fear, I know...they look creepy to me, especially the tall skinny ones), dying, and terminal illnesses.

For the longest time I had a really bad fear of public speaking, this phobia really haunted me throughout high school. Even though I got along with most of my classmates there was always a fear of being judged by them. I was always afraid to do class presentations and speeches. I would get really nervous on days leading up the class presentation and at the beginning of presentations. I would constantly worry about everybody looking at me or making a mistake. Teachers college really helped me overcome this phobia, since I had to present many lessons in front of the class. I have no problem speaking in front of a class of students, however, speeches in front of colleagues is a different story. I still have this phobia from time to time but now to a lesser extent. I have learned to control this irrational fear and think positively prior to any presentation I have and make sure I am always prepared.

I hate heights.

I am terrified of "spiders" to the point that I always ask someone else to kill it.
If I have no choice; then I will do it myself but I have a hard time doing it because I don't want it to land on me. I also hate other insects too. :eek:

GREAT WHITE SHARKS!

I don't why, I've never seen one in real life. I love swimming, but I NEVER swim in the ocean in hot countries. I did once and nearly had a panic attack when some seaweed touched my leg :eek:

I never kill spiders, they're harmless, I just put them outside.

Everything, to an extent.

im afraid of the dark.
not like deathly afraid, just normally afraid.

im 16 and sleep with a night light

Indoor Heights (I'm ok w/heights outside, but like ladders inside freak me out)

Water anywhere near my face

Anything near my eyes!

Crowds.

I'm getting bad with small, enclosed places where there are lots of people.

Big Red Wasps, I disturbed a nest of them accidently and got stung a bunch
of times.

Big dogs, spiders, clowns, and birds. I am terrified of birds.

My sister is afraid of clowns. So's the teenage niece of a friend of mine. Don't like 'em much myself. :lol:

Pretty much the whole book, minus the ones which are rather rare, like fear of bubble wrap or something.

Anyway:
Getting sick (this one interferes with my life on, oh, a weekly basis I'd say. Cold and Flu season is like a 4 month panic attack for me)
Being left alone. And I mean for long periods of time. I'm a hermit and aloneness is fine with me.
My parents dying.
Failing.
Not being perfect. Which goes with failing I guess.
Going broke.
Losing my mind.
Intimacy. Hugging is as far as I want to go. This one will flat out ruin my life.
Birds. I hate birds.

Losing my mind.

Needles...another fear of mine. You'll never see me getting a tattoo. I had to have bloodwork done last month and got so nervous I almost passed out!! :(

Paxil has helped me almost get over fear of needles. Odd, because that's not exactly why I take it. It also mostly cured my fear of dogs and cats. Funny how a chemical can affect your fear of something.
