    1) anything going in or out of my veins (getting my blood drawn, or getting a shot or an IV. I used to say "needles" but I'm not scared of needles, just the thought of losing blood or a foreign substance going into my veins!) I'm so phobic of this that I fear that some day I will die from something that would have been ridiculously preventable had I only had a blood test or gotten some injections.

    2) stuffed animals. Not teddy bears, but actual taxidermy. I'm terrified of the things!

    3) gaining the weight back. This is my only rational fear.

    * Anything with more than 4 legs (spiders, earwigs, butterflies....yes, butterflies - pretty to look at, but don't you dare land on me!)

    * Being home alone and having the cops come to my door to tell me something terrible has happened (a repeat of when my dad died - anytime the doorbell rings, my heart stops)

    * Social situations - pretty sure I'm socially awkward, lol

    1. clowns
    2. dying alone.. which also goes with this other fear b/c as a teen I had a recurring dream that while I drove country roads out here at night I would swerve to miss a deer in the road and end up in a ravine and no one ever finds me and I die... yep I'm morbid. so because of this, when I'm driving at night while on any country roads I make someone talk to me on the phone the whole time.

    Rapists, murderers and clowns.

    ^ This. But I lump all moral deviants like rapists and murderers and such in with the clowns anyway. Creepy damn clowns.

    Exactly what I would say too... that and public speaking.

    I don't have any intense fears. I don't like heights, being high up makes me uneasy but I can deal with it.

    open heights, androids and giants.

    So if I'm stuck on a Ferris Wheel with a giant android robot, I'm definitely going to die of fright. FYI.

    Polystyrene........ I hate the stuff. That noise it makes when you touch it... Urgh I can't even go near someone who has the stuff near them.. :(
    I can't touch anything that's packed in the stuff.
