Baseball games. I'm terrified of being hit by a fly ball. It's almost happened a few times.0

Birds flying over my head. Everyone thinks it's from the movie "The Birds" but I'm a big Hitchcock fan and it doesn't bother me. My phobia is from being dive-bombed by birds when I was a kid. I was taking my grandparents' cat for a walk (long story) and the birds didn't like it! The funny thing is that if I'm wearing a hat, then I feel safe.0

elevators! Got stuck on one once as a kid... no adults around was playing in some parking garage elevators with my siblings and cousins and really had to pee. It was one of those with glass all around and I peed my pants after the 2nd hour. People below me could see that I had peed my pants and laughed but no one got help! Elevators suck!

Silverware scraping on ceramic plates. Fork tines especially. (It is like fingernails on a chalkboard, and, I hate that too...)0

A few of mine are easing up as I get older, but they are pretty unusual, I think. 2 big ones: Orca whales and coyotes.
The orca thing is bizarre, but they've frequently been in my dreams/nightmares since I was a child. I am terrified but also completely fascinated by them.
Coyotes are just jerks.0 -
The sound of a dog licking/drinking.
It's the most terrifying thing to me. Ever.
Pretty much all face noises get to me. Chewing, slurping, smacking, snoring, nose-whistling, sniffling, snorting. They make me angry. Mostly because they're all preventable just by not being disgusting. Chew with your mouth closed, blow your damn nose and roll over.

Clowns, those costumed people at theme parks, spiders (cuz they are super gross and creepy)
Clowns here, too! Evil personified!!0 -
I am extremely phobic of airplanes!
If I hear one overhead I panic .
When I drive people to the airport I get sweaty, my heartbeats fast
I can't relax until I am a safe distance away!
I have had to fly a few times.
I had to be medicated to do so.
I still have SEVERE panic attacks
I have had to have the flight attendant sit with me to keep me calm
I know I've upset many passengers
And yes it is extremely embarrassing
I can't help it.
They terrify me.
Every time I get on a plane I just have that feeling that this is the one that's going down
I can't get over my fear despite taking a fear of flying class 3 times.0 -
Tight/closed in spaces
Anything that flies and stings
Driving next to big rigs on the highway, especially when I get stuck in between them
Driving in the rain/snow/sleet/hail
Roaches/Palmetto bugs
:sad:0 -
I'm sorry to say this, but if I am somewhere, and all of a sudden, someone speaks with that voice box thing, it gives me a shiver.0

My worst fear is of flying. I will do it occasionally, but I am under severe stress he entire time. I have other things that I am afraid of, but not to the extent of flying. Clowns, snakes, carnival rides, public speaking (or anything that puts me at the center of attention).0
-
Fear of Elevators, zombies, and OB-GYNs0
-
Strangers standing too close to me, the feel of any velvet, rats and drowning.0
-
Afraid of being inadequate0
-
The big C0

DOGS! I have been chased by to many, I've even broken my arm once from running from a dog lol.0

2 party political systems.0

Really deep water than I cannot see in. I live in Texas and we have lots of lakes and I will NOT get in the water because you can't see anything. I know there are no sharks or anything, but my mind conjures up crazy images of what could be lurking down there. When I've been to Hawaii I didn't mind getting in the ocean and snorkeling because it's really clear and you can see well. If I can see clearly, I have no fear at all. But if I had to jump ship in water I couldn't see in, I would absolutely freak the hell out. Definitely my biggest fear.0
