    Being impaled scares me. I saw a re-enactment of a car accident where the driver ran into a picket fence. The driver was impaled by a post through his neck. Also seeing someone in movies fall on a fence or other sharp objects. YUCK!

    Spiders and bugs also freak me out!

    I am soooo tuned in to all of my physical ailments that I fear that they are all something life threatening. It's what one might call "irrational/ crazy/ hypochondria" , haha. I laugh but it's really not a good time. Hope I don't pass this one on to my daughter!

    I'm afraid of something being under my bed. I turn a flashlight on and lay it on the floor so it's shining under my bed while I get ready for bed at night so nothing will grab my feet. That fear comes from watching too much Alfred Hitchcock when I was a kid. :frown:

    midgets.


    which made it very scary for me when a midget stripper tried to climb up into my lap awhile ago.

    Cockroaches.

    I literally shuddered just typing that.

    Also, the air in tunnels.

    I always have to hold my breath

    Hmmm... Maybe you do and just don't know it yet. ;-)
    Although I'm certain you rock regardless.

    Opening umbrellas inside! To the point that when my daughter tries to open her fun ladybug umbrella in the house I totally freak out! ... Then she walks saying "no open, no open momma. Bad luck! No open"

    To me, having a fear of animals is a rational fear.

    My irrational fear is not finding love. I have this massive fear that I'll never be good enough for any man and that I'm destined to be a fat ugly spinster with no kids. I'm not kidding.

    I have some hardcore OCD/paranoia so I always question myself. Say I turn the stove off, in my head I'm going "is it really off?" and I'll check it like 10 times. I'm always fearing that what I perceive isn't correct and it takes me forever to convince myself that what I am perceiving is right. That being said, I'm afraid of nothing rational. Nothing "real" scares me at all.

    Balloons popping in my face and earwigs. Also, heart attacks - my own or anyone around me having one.

    swimming with fish.

    They breathe underwater. I don't and I'm on their turf.

    The sound of rubbing flour on a wood/plastic rolling pin :sad: omg.... ugh that sound send chills immediately up and down my spine! I'm dead serious here- :laugh:

    Slightly more normal fears are, spiders, bees... rather any flying bug except butterflies, never eating chocolate again, and numerous fast food restaurants. :noway:

    Yarn. Elevators. My teeth falling out. Those three things freak me out beyond reason.
