    I am not sure what it is but I am sure it is definitely photoshopped. It isn't real.

    Spiders and childbirth/raising children. Just thinking or even looking at either subject leaves me in a cold sweat. :(

    I'm terrified of heights & large bodies of water especially if the water is not crystal clear (oceans, lakes, rivers etc) I don't know if I'm more afraid of drowning or not being able to see WTF is down there ::shudder::. There's this clear skywalk-type thing, I think is in Chicago, anyway you're way the **** up there and you're walking and you can see everything below, like you're walking on air. I can't even look at PICTURES of that **** with out my heart slamming and my palms sweating, lol.

    ETA it blows my mind when ppl see pictures of an ocean sunset, or palm trees and lounge chairs on the beach or pics from the deck of a cruise ship and they OOOH & AHHH over it like it's the most relaxing, gorgeous thing they've ever seen...when all I see is an unpredictable beast with the power to swallow you whole at any moment lol. Even the sound of ocean waves lapping the shore makes me nervous lol.

    My husband forced me onto the skywalk in Chicago, knowing full well I'm scared of heights (heck I was freaked out going up the elevator). I told him if I was going to step on it that I didn't want to look and would just cover my eyes and pretend I wasn't on it. He was adamant I uncover my face and said "just don't look down", and of course curiosity kicked in and I did. I instantly felt like I was going to faint. :sad: I got kind of used to it (by looking back towards the building instead of out lol), but I always stayed close to where it ends so I could jump out of there at any moment. He also kept telling me I was cheating because I'd try to leave one foot on the normal floor. :laugh:

    Moths... I didn't realise how bad it is until I almost ran into the path of a car when I saw one outside the other day. Lucky I had my boyfriend with me! I totally didn't see the car and it didn't register that I had gone onto the road because I was so scared!

    Mine is Arthrophobia: the fear of scorpions. After a bad encounter in Arizona, I no longer want to live in the southern states.

    You have Stepnophobia. I occasionally get it myself, although I'm not afraid of heights either.

    The trypophobia thing doesn't bother me. It's just holes!

    I am terrified of heights - though I'm told it's actually the fear of falling that bothers me, not the height itself. I can't get up past 3 rungs on a ladder.

    I'm not a fan of creepy crawlies - though some I can handle.

    I'm terrified of dying. Can't think about it. I know that one day it will happen whether I like it or not and I think it's the fact that I can't control that is what terrifies me the most.
