Add spiders to this list and you have all my fears in one place: scary/creepy stuff, falling, and failing at life.

Normally I'm terrified of going up down a ladder - I'm afraid of heights..... my true fear is the insects that spread disease or infections (like mosquitos, and flies)

That makes sense, I used to be afraid of them too, now I just find spiders to be beautiful and exciting to look at, lost my fear long ago with them.

This will probably sound weird but the scariest thing to me is being scared. The thought of opening my living room door and someone standing there smiling holding a knife ready to lunge at me scared me enough to want to sleep with the lights on just thinking about it.
If someone were to come up to me in the streets and calmly say "I have a gun. Come with me or I'll kill you" I'd panic. But wouldn't be anywhere near as scared as I would be if someone were to jump out at me.

Oh. And spiders. Spiders can burn in hell.

The thing that scares me the most is... anything that's hot or sharp.

Especially needles, ovens, knives, toasters etc. Because of this I totally fail at cooking.

This is why you shouldn't ask Hikari to cook something for you.

Drowning. Oh god just vaguely thinking about it to write this post makes me shudder.

Also, for a slightly lesser fear, I guess, I have a bit of a phobia of eyes. I mean, I can look at them fine but the mere thought of anything getting in them or anything happening to them (even natural deterioration like I've already sort of experienced [I have to wear glasses now what is this!]) makes me feel sick to my stomach. And simple eye appointments? I'll be nauseous the whole week leading up to them and after when I think about them. I once had to get a small cyst on my eyelid removed which meant a needle pretty close to my eyeball and then an eyepatch + gel applied to my eye for a few weeks after and oh my god I was nauseous and disoriented for well over a month after the procedure. I don't really find any of this stuff necessarily "scary" but the way it affects my very health makes me assume I subconsciously find it beyond terrifying whether my brain thinks that makes sense or not.

Rejection. I have a crippling fear of rejection... and it's pretty much the only definitive 'fear' that I have. I don't like certain things (chickens, balloons, polystyrene, people touching my neck/wrists) but I'm not scared of them, per se. But rejection, on the other hand... that's a big one. It's probably held me back a lot in life - especially when I was younger - and it'll still affect me to this day, but I'm slowly learning to overcome it. Slowly being the key word.

Drowning. It's so bad that in instances where I can even consider the possibility of drowning... I tend to freak out a lot. It takes all I have in me to ride any sort of water slide. The dark doesn't bother me, but the ridiculous fear that something is going to go wrong and I won't make it out.

Sounds stupid to most people, I guess, but every time I've ever been on a water slide, it's because other people want me to do it. They absolutely terrify me.

Then there's needles. Now, I can get shots all day like a champ... but if I look at the needle... it's game over.
If you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste.
