So, what are your biggest fears?

I am claustrophobic, and have an intense fear of medical procedures (CT's and MRI's, for e.g.)

malachite · 16th Mar 2011, 10:13 AM

I often fear I don't feel enough. Sometimes things just don't effect me, which other people are crying and throwing up at certain sights, I just don't feel anything.

TheJoker · 16th Mar 2011, 10:15 AM

some kind of homophobia.

Vinny · 16th Mar 2011, 10:22 AM

Heights and spiders :'(

Lotty · 16th Mar 2011, 10:24 AM

RaeofLite · 16th Mar 2011, 10:28 AM

My overthinking

MercuryLampe · 16th Mar 2011, 01:19 PM

I'm claustrophobic, and I have arachnophobia, and whatever the phobia for heights is xD

RedKnight · 16th Mar 2011, 01:34 PM

Lets see:
Heights (but yet have a little want to go sky diving, go figure)
Bees (and other insects for that matter)
Being judges (that counts as a fear doesn't it?)

Zontar · 16th Mar 2011, 01:35 PM

Poverty, failure, and illness.

Makaio1 · 16th Mar 2011, 01:43 PM

I have Speluncaphobia - a phobia of caves.

RaRa · 16th Mar 2011, 01:48 PM

Im claustraphobic and have a mild case of arachnaphobia...but ive gotten over it kinda. I can now kill small spiders without spazzing out. ^_^

It was worse when I was a kid though. Id refuse to sleep on the ground at camp outs and sleepovers.

Random Dent · 16th Mar 2011, 01:48 PM

Basically I'm scared of losing control of myself and doing something harmful to another person or myself.

Tornadoes as funny as that sounds. But yet they also fascinate me.

Saikou7 · 16th Mar 2011, 05:29 PM

Spiders and drowning

Emberstone · 16th Mar 2011, 05:54 PM

jellyfish.

not much more to say but that they are evil.

16th Mar 2011, 06:27 PM

I fear leaving my house. I actually have good reasons that make the fear more logical and less crazy. And I still leave my house, I force myself to.

I don't want to explain why. :/
