What is the scariest thing 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.
