What are you afraid of?

Aviophobia: Fear of Flying.
 
I'm afraid of spiders, jellyfish, heights, and surgery. There are other things, like fear of messing up when I'm doing something important, but those are the ones that everyone, or nearly everyone feels.

When I was younger I was terrified of the thought that aliens were creeping around just outside and looking in on me when I tried to sleep.
 
I have a fear of spiders. Even if there's a tiny little spider in my room, I have to ask one of my parents to dispose of it, since I don't like the thought of it crawling around in my room. I've never really liked spiders; to me, they're just look so creepy and scary. I suppose it didn't help that when I was younger, my parents used to chase me around the house when they were getting rid of a spider because it seemed funny to them.

I'm afraid of some social situations; it just depends who I'm talking to. Most of the time I find it difficult to start up and continue a conversation with someone, since I usually have no idea what to talk about. Furthermore, I have a slight speech problem (I slur sounds that sound like, "sh", "ch", "j", etc.) and I have gotten the few occasions when people can't understand what I'm saying, which is pretty embarrassing.

And I have a fear of getting rejected.
 
I don't fear a lot, honestly. It isn't that I'm some tough macho man, just that fear comes from a lack of understanding. I understand most things, therefore realize that there is little reason to fear them. One thing I can't shake off though, is the fear of what lies in the dark. The dark doesn't scare me... it's what might be in the dark that does.
 
As pitiful as it sounds, I'm afraid of the dark. It just freaks me out. I suffer from loss of sleep due to it, which probably only escalates it. I'm not sure if it's a fear of the actual dark, or having a nightmare while I sleep. I think it's the nightmare, but it definitely affects my opinion of my dark room at night.

Another thing I'm afraid of is swimming in open water. One a boat, I'm perfectly fine, but swimming in a river, lake, pond, or gulf or ocean, no sir, not gonna happen. I'll happily play in the sand like a little hermit crab, and MAYBE put my feet in the water, but that's about as good as it's going to get. Just my feet.
 
Well physically, i am afraid of the undead DDDD:, when i watched my brother play the early versions of Left 4 dead when i was little o_O.
But besides tat there is being afraid of loosing my family and those who mean lots to me :33
 
*Bees. Because I'm highly allergic to bee stings.
*Weird people. We have a whole bunch of sketchy people around us. Most of them with thick mustaches which creeps me out even more.
*I have this fear, which keeps recurring in my dreams, of being trapped out in the wilderness and forced to survive without any belongings.
*I'm afraid of severely burning myself when cooking. So I avoid it as much as possible.
*Dogs. They've chased me, bitten me, and some of our relatives have owned especially vicious ones.
 
I fear bees, I can't stand to go near them. Logic won't come through to me "It's way smaller then you" "It's sting hardly hurts" "It's more scared then you are" I just stay the hell away. I also get a little jumpy at night, mostly getting startled or acting towards unknown forces...agressively.
 
It's not really a fear, rather an aversion but it falls on the category of phobia anyways ...
So, I have entomophobia and arachnophobia i.e.: aversion of arachnids and bugs
It's not really fear, on the arachnids part some ones do scare me, but on the bugs, just aversion
 
There are things that I really dislike, but nothing that I'd go out and say I was 'scared' of. Things that I really dislike are comprised of: wrists, necks, chickens, polystyrene and other such weird stuff. Blood and spiders and closed spaces and heights and other stereotypical 'scary' stuff doesn't bother me, but stick me in a room with a polystyrene chicken and I certainly won't be comfortable.
 
I've an excessive fear of spiders. It's toned down just a little bit recently to the point where I can at least tolerate the presence of a small spider on the opposite end of a room, but even as little as a realistic drawing of a spider could make me feel uneasy.

Other fears I have to a lesser extent would be fear for mirrors. This one usually only happens when it's accompanied by the dark. I know it's superstitious to believe in ghosts, and I most definitely am not a believer, but that doesn't mean I feel at comfort when I am in a dark bathroom with a mirror. The dark in general can sometimes be creepy, but again, that's usually only when it's accompanied by mirrors or other types of reflections. It might be the fear of seeing something pop up behind you, or even worse, right in front of you, inside the mirror itself.

I also have a light fear of needles. This one usually isn't as pronounced as the other fears, and it only comes to expression when I am only 2 seconds away from getting a needle injected in me. I do so remember when I had to get a vaccination during the entire Swine flu crisis, and I was perfectly at ease about the entire thing, right untill my turn was up and I freaked out.

I've got many more little fears that are very easy for me to endure. They are those light anxious feelings everyone might have, like with heights, but those are in no way debilitating. I also have a light fear of some animals like large dogs, wasps and bees.
