    SPIDERS. oh man, gross gross gross keep them away from me :|

    that and down escalators, which is kinda weird, but I fell down one as a kid and it pretty much scarred me since. I'll go on them obviously, but i'm never thrilled about it.

  • Bees and wasps, mainly. I've never been stung, and tbh, the thought of it frightens me. So bad, that when wasps turned up on a street I walked on, I changed my route to work just to avoid the bugs! Not a big fan of most other bugs, too, but stinging insects, I fear them so much. :(

    I'm also afraid of calling people sometimes, too. Don't ask me why.

    I'm afraid of heights and most insects. Don't ask why, or you'll have the same fears.

  • I have a fear of not being able to move my arms. I also have a fear of Clowns, Roller coasters and Jumping Spiders. (Don't mind normal spiders though)

  • Well I don't know if any of you got this, but I doubt I'm the only one with this fear: Speaking in public.

    I hate giving presentations and the like, even though I've always prepared them well.

    I also used to be scared of dogs, though it has become less recently.

  • I have an irrational fear of large, deep bodies of water, primarily the ocean. I just shut down in a panic when I even start to (vividly) think about it or have to play a game with it, though I'm fine if I can look away from the game or if I'm on a boat. Otherwise it pretty much fries my circuits.

    I have no idea why it scares me, though. I was only ever at the shore of the ocean, and when I was two years old. So, I've never been in it or had bad experiences with it. I've never nearly drowned, and I learned to swim early and took to the water fast. I love pools, lakes, rivers, etc.

  • I fear death mainly. Not the process of dying, but the actual state of being dead. It's just always really freaked me out.

    The other thing I'm scared of is being at a height with no or little means of support. Like when I was younger my parents used to visit all these old castle euins and you could sometimes take stairs up to where all the cannons would have been etc. If the barrier was below my waist level, I didn't feel safe at all ;-;
