    When I'm watching a movie or TV show, and a block of text comes on screen, I fear that I won't be able to read it all before it goes away.

    It was past two in the morning and I was bored AF. Plus I’m scared of sharks. I’m also afraid of being pranked.

    Who stages a shark attack as a prank? :joy: it’s just so odd!

    I know?! Some of the pranks I’ve seen, are ridiculous, but if they actually happened. I would freak out.

    This one is one of my favourites.

    Love the old man who protected his wife. Aww

    I always stomp on my work gloves before putting them on just in case there's a brown recluse inside.

    Only be scared if they ask you to peel it with your cheeks.

    Thunder and lightning. I’ll sit in my bathroom until the storm passes :( I have an irrational fear of getting electrocuted. I always hold my breath before I plug something in.

    There’s this ramp on the turnpike I drive daily.
    I scare myself every time I drive it.
    It’s a high, long ramp and I have always enjoyed driving it, maintaining 70mph down the whole thing.
    Right as I get to the highest point I always have this fear that my car is going to go flying off the ramp into the air.
    I think that’s why I drive it fast, convincing myself I have control and that couldn’t happen.

    I have a fear of making telephone calls. I need to talk myself into it for about an hour and mentally prepare myself. Receiving calls is fine, no problem. But making the call is a nightmare. I break into a sweat, my heart races, I pace up and down and get out of breath. Odd

    This!! Except receiving calls is somehow worse for me, especially if I don't know who is calling. I have such anxiety abut the phone that I've actually fallen behind on bills when all that was required was a phone call. I could have made the call and avoided the fee, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

    I feared zombies for a long time. The idea of zombies. Or more accurately, the idea of something as tiny as a nick, scratch or bite lead to the irreversible, and living with the knowledge of irreversible for a very brief moment of time. Or having this happen to someone else around me.
    That was before I decided the best course of action was to watch every zombie movie ever to "cure myself". And cure I did. Now I only fear falling on the subway tracks, earwigs getting into my ears and being late somewhere important (I am terrified of that).

    Stairs, balloons, champagne corks, foam on coffee, being near the edge of anything high, watching little kids eat, food fights, going fast in a car

    Balloons. Seeing balloons hits me right into anxiety mode, or even a panic attack though I've gotten much better.

    The chocolate fountains at Golden Corral. I just imagine recirculated chocolate running through a machine that hasn't been properly washed in a week. Not to mention all the snotty kid fingers that have been in it. Not happening.
