    So, what sort of things are you afraid of? It could be the dark, insects, etc.
     
    Let's see... darkness, thunder (mostly because it's loud and unpredictable), needles, dentists, hospitals, spiders... I could go on forever. D: I swear, I'm like Chuckie from the Rugrats or something. I can't even walk out my front door without having an anxiety attack. x_x
     
    Being alone. I am someone who has always wanted and needed someone there for me even if it is just for a little chat to make me feel better. I've always had this irrational fear of everyone leaving me and having to go through life without anyone haha. I know it won't happen but it's always bothered me :x

    I also have a major fear of spiders and needles. I can't even be in the same room with either of them without freaking the hell out D:
     
    Dying, Disease, being tortured, getting sick, losing my loved ones.
     
    I have an irrational queasiness around spiders. Especially black widows. As a kid, one was crawling on me when I woke up one morning. I was itchy and threw back my covers to find the black widow there. He was all, "Hey guy" and I screamed and freaked out. Since then, I hate them so much.

    I also don't care for snakes.
     
    Hmm... Let's see. In no particular order:

    • Men @ Night / Walking Behind Me
    • Large Groups of People
    • The Dark
    • Isolation
    • Spiders
    • Ridiculously Large Bugs

    There was a gigantic hairy centipede-like thing in my house the other day. Screamed, caught it in a cup and took it outside. Accidentally chopped one of its legs off; I felt bad :(

    Now I have two remains of smaller ones on my floor where my kitty thought it'd be fun to attack and chew on them.

    WASPS. ♥♥♥♥ing wasps. Hornets, yellow jackets, ♥♥♥♥ them all. Bees are cute and they provide a great service to the world. Wasps, nope. Stay away. I'm a 6 foot 2, 23 year old man and I have no shame in running for my life when I see a wasp.

    Spiders are a close second.

    I don't know how I forgot this lol

    I get bloodwork every so often to ensure my thyroid medication is working. I can feel them extracting my blood. #shudders

    >:(!!
     
    I have a weird thing with loud noises. I just really can't stand them. My vacuum broke once and started making this really loud whirring noise and I swear I cried, haha.
     
    I get really creeped out when I'm outside at night time. I'm hyperaware of my surroundings and even the rustling of leafs would cause me to have a heart attack.
     
    Cockroaches. I don't mind spiders, heck even wasps. But when it comes to cockroaches, this would be a different story. And when they fly, all hell breaks loose.
     
    Here's a small list of fears I have:

    Asbestos
    Blue cheese
    Toxic waste sites.

    Asbestos-Seeing pictures of the stuff, and when it's falling apart. Fake Christmas snow used to be made from shredded asbestos. Then there's mesothelioma, but symptoms don't show until years later.

    Blue cheese-Yuck. Just yuck. Just seeing this stuff is enough to make me nervous.

    Toxic waste sites-The chemicals that are dumped or left in drums, is very disturbing.

    Y'know, one thing I'm not afraid of is needles. Hell, I give myself a shot 4 times+ a day. That's the breaks of being diabetic.

    What I am afraid of, however, in no order, is bees, spiders, bugs in general, being alone, being outside at night, being around large crowds, very deep water, heights, motorized vehicles (for the most part), dogs, certain snakes, and being forgotten about.


    Bees: This fear stems from when I was about 4, 5 years old. It was summer time, and it was playing in one of those kiddie pools. There was a "bug" flying around, and I kept swatting at it. It ended up sting me, and it was extremely painful.

    Spiders: I've always been creeped out by these bastards. They're just... Disturbing!! They have 8 legs, some can jump, and, just, aiiiieeeee!! *hides in corner*

    Bugs In General: With the exception of butterflies and mantids, bugs scare me quite a bit. When my hair was really long, bugs liked to fly into my hair and get tangled up and die. :/ It's the most horrible feeling to pull a dead house fly out of your hair while it falls apart. >.<
    I've also accidentally swallowed my share of fuzzy moths... Ewwww....

    Being Alone: I've just recently started to be left home alone, and I can honestly say its seriously difficult for me. When I'm alone, I become really hyper-aware of everything. Things that seem out of place, very little noise, you name it, I notice it. It causes my anxiety to sky rocket. I think living in such a bad neighborhood contributes to this fear. A friend of mine was almost kidnapped the other day, for ♥♥♥♥s sake!!

    Being Outside At Night: I also think this is due to the crime around where I live. 2 people were murdered near here just this year!!

    Being Around Large Crowds: I hate being around crowds because I feel like everyone is watching me, judging me, plotting against me... It's probably an irrelevant fear, but I believe it stems from my history of being bullied...

    Very Deep Water: When I was very young, maybe 3 or 4, my mother and I were in a public pool. We were in the middle on one of those floating loungers. I fell off, and sunk down. I was saved quickly, but it was very traumatic. That's one of my earliest memories. I'm also afraid because I'm not a strong swimmer.

    Heights: This fear was probably borrowed from my dad. It just freaks me out to be up really high! I lose balance easily, and even lose my stomach when I'm on heights. It scares me because I think about falling.

    Motorized Vehicles: I'm not afraid of the vehicles themselves, I'm afraid of driving them. I think I'm not competent enough to drive a car or motorcycle. The only motorized vehicle I've been able to drive has been a quad.

    Dogs: I hate them. I hate them with a burning passion. There's only one dog I've ever liked, and he's going to be dying here soon.
    I was bitten by a dog when I was very young. 2 years old. A dog bit me due to jealousy over my dad. I don't remember this happening, but something in the back of my brain tells me to be afraid.

    Certain Snakes: I'm not afraid of any constricting snakes, like boas, just ones with poisons. They're just... Weird. Where's their arms and legs?? Plus the whole poison thing...? Ugh. *backs away*

    Being Forgotten: I fear that I'm a rather dispensable and unimportant person, so the though of being forgotten by the people who are close to me is horrifying.

    Tl; DR: I have a lot of fears.
     
    As someone who wants to start a family my main fear is infertility. If I found out I were infertile I would be completely devastated.

    I'm not particularly afraid of anything else in my day-to-day life. I guess I am afraid of heights, but only when not secured to something. So if I'm wearing a harness secured to an anchor point I have no problems.

    I'm not sure how old you are, but you might come around. Taste buds mature. When I first had blue cheese when I was 14 I vowed I would never eat it again. Now I'm in my twenties and go Garfield all over that stuff.

    I love thunder. When there is a forecast for storms I hope that there is thunder and I get excited to see the lightning.
     
    I'm scared of being in water where I can't see the bottom. I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm probably just afraid something will come up and get me!

    I think that's the only physical thing I'm scared of that's somewhat unique. Other than that, I'm definitely scared I will be alone and that everyone will just leave me no matter what I do. It's definitely an irrational fear, but I can't seem to get rid of it.
