    Simple. What are you scared of? And if you really want to be all nerdy and all :P , here is a link with all phobia names!
    https://phobialist.com/

    As for me, im scared of:

    Cynophobia- Fear of dogs or rabies.
    Didaskaleinophobia- Fear of going to school.(Just plaing XD)
    Dystychiphobia- Fear of accidents.
    Helminthophobia- Fear of being infested with worms

    And a bunch more
     
    Arachnephobia-Fear of spiders!!
    Weird, it's hard to explain, I just am.
    I'll have to think about others. Well, I was afraid of dogs but that was years ago, i'm not anymore.
     
    Acrophobia- Fear of heights
    Arachnophobia- Fear of spiders
    Climacophobia- Fear of stairs, climbing, or of falling downstairs

    I actually did not know there was a name for the last one, I just searched the page for falling XD I think I better explain it. I'm not scared of actual *stairs*, I can go up and down my ones in my home and college. It's usually quite steep ones, like in a lighthouse, or where there's a gap between the stairs so I can see the ground, I get really scared that I'm going to trip and fall. It's probably because when I was 6, I fell down the stairs in my house and I can remember it quite well...
     
    I suffer from Claustrophobia and Arachnophobia. To this day, I'm not sure why. There weren't any events during my childhood that could have triggered the fears, or if there were, I don't remember them. I suppose being scared of spiders is okay. They do look sorta freaky and menacing, do they not? Not liking confined spaces, on the other hand, is a bit embarrassing, really. I have to take the stairs instead of the elevator if I go anywhere, which has caused some frowns ending up on my friends faces. And I can't even put my finger on what's wrong with small spaces in the first place. It's not like I'm going to be swallowed up by the floor, is it? People aren't going to steal my oxygen, right? Even if I tell myself that, I'm not able to summon the willpower to walk into an elevator or something similar. It's odd, but I get by.
     
    Some fears a little wierd though. i saw one that had fear of hands. Who is scared of there hands?!
     
    I have Aeroacrophobia (Fear of open high places), Apiphobia (Fear of Bees), and Agoraphobia (Fear of open places).


    I never quite understood my fear of bees. Everyone tells me that If I don't bother them they won't bother me, but I just can't stand seeing one inches away. even if they haven't noticed me I still panic.

    I'm starting to get a bit claustrophobic as of late so I suppose agoraphobia is out of the picture for now.

    I can't really explain the first one, though, but that's something I'll probably never get over.
     
    Some of those phobias....I can't believe there are actual documented cases of all of those! O.O

    But anyway, I have arachnophobia (but a lot people have that =P)...And that's about it. I'm not really irrationally afraid of anything else.
     
    I do not have any serious phobias, except Mortophobia, but there's a little bit of that in all of us, eh? and a little bit of anthro/sociophobia, I'm mostly an introvert.

    Claustrophobia- Fear of confined spaces
    Emetophobia- Fear of vomiting (a really bad case, too)
    Enochlophobia- Fear of crowds
    Phonophobia- Fear of noises or voices or one's own voice; of telephones (I...hate...phones...)
    Scopophobia or Scoptophobia- Fear of being seen or stared at.
    Tocophobia- Fear of pregnancy or childbirth.
    Tomophobia- Fear of surgical operations.
    Sociophobia- Fear of society or people in general.

    ...Wow.
     
    Anginophobia- Fear of angina, choking or narrowness.

    I fear that when I am taking vitamins or pills or something, I will somehow choke on it. It is not something serious, but that fear crosses my mind at times.

    I am surprised that they have all these crazy phobias like "fear of flutes" but they don't have something as simple as "fear of drowning" which is what I also fear. :p
     
    I don't tend to think of this, but: Aquaphobia — fear of water (in my case, specifically of being underwater).
    Caused by what would be termed as 'traumatic experience'.

    I thought this one was quite funny: Anglophobia - fear of the English or English culture.
