    Bees/Wasps/Yellow Jackets

    Ironic since I went to Georgia Tech. A Yellow Jacket (a real one) landed on my hand once, that was holding my flute. I ditched my flute to get away from it.

    Really, any buzzing sound creeps me out. If a fly gets too close, and I don't know it's a fly, I fuh-reak!

    That amber will post another thread even worse than the last. Oh, wait, maybe that's a rational fear.

    I have this recurring fear that my bike is going to attack me.

    It's a vicious cycle.

    Me too. Can't take my eyes off them in case they rush me. I had a pet tarantula for a little while to get over it. Didn't work. Lol

    anything styrofoam touching my fingernails or teeth makes me feel all creeped out. not exactly a fear but i avoid styrofoam at all costs.


    i'm afraid that one day there will be a monster under my bed or a murderer under my car ready to slash my ankles as i walk by....seriously it's scary to me!

    I can't walk on things I can see through. It all started with a nightmare I had when I was a toddler where I fell through some stairs like these:

    Moths, Roaches, and Clowns.... Oh my!
    I have PTSD and anxiety issues, so just about anything can get me worked up

    I have a lot, actually.

    Spiders - If there's one in the house, I can't go to bed until I know it's dead.

    Sharks - I won't go in the ocean over my waist.

    Cotton - I won't take the cotton ball out of a bottle of pills and I won't eat or touch cotton candy. It's the dry texture, it freaks me out and makes my teeth hurt.

    Heights - Although, I don't think this is an "irrational" fear as most ppl are afraid of heights.

    Me too, only I also freak out when things tickle me because it might be a bug of any sort on me. This is enhanced by the time a centipede was on my neck while I was on the floor doing yoga. I thought it was hair tickling me...until I remembered I cut all my hair off.

    I felt a tickle on my foot once. I scratched it then looked at the floor and saw a roach scurrying away.

    EWWWWWW!!!!

    Definitely spiders. I've ruined shower curtains, broken windows, and brok lawn equipment running for dear life. I'm pretty sure I hear the *kitten* laughing as I run away screaming.

    Birds! Ugh!All birds freak me out, but the pet store in our town had a giant macaw...and it was never in a cage, just hanging out in the store trying to figure out the easiest way to peck out my eyes! I hated going there. He died, but they still have his picture and a memorial wreath in his corner...Just looking at his picture makes me cringe!:embarassed:

    It's not just those kind of stairs anymore. It's also transparent or semi-transparent floors. There's one place in the local mall that has glass block floors. I avoid these whenever possible.
