    Scared to death of lightning...

    Me too! I sit on the stairs and whine and hyperventilate and swear and promise myself I'm packing up the car and moving somewhere storm free the very next day!

    I just the opposite I want to be out walking in the storms the more lightening and higher winds the better.

    Thank you. I posted this on page one.. and kept flipping through to see the "normal" fears, and was wondering if anyone else was as "normal" as i was. LOL! :flowerforyou:

    Spiders - but only when they are in unexpected places.... my hair... the shower... any place I'm ever naked...
    Spiders in the garden are great - love them.

    Wasp/bee (probably because I am allergic)...but I move very fast when I see one around me.
    Clowns...because "IT" is gonna get me.

    Mostly I'm a paranoid person...
    "Zombies" scare me..I lay in bed some nights waiting for those genetically enhanced super beings to kick in the side of my house.
    I always feel watched/followed.

    Don't like heights or enclosed spaces. Putting me on a glass elevator is sure to get the sweat glands activated.

    All these are not server fears, but just really don't like them.

    Arsonphobia- Fear of fire.
    Acrophobia- Fear of heights.
    Astraphobia or Astrapophobia- Fear of thunder and lightning.(Ceraunophobia, Keraunophobia) - not afraid of lighting- I think it's cool.

    I am absolutely terrified of slugs. I know they can't hurt you, can't even jump on you, but they make my toes curl and I cry if I find myself surrounded by them.

    Spiders, cockroaches, zombies and swimming in open water (lakes, ocean, anywhere you can't see the bottom).

    Actually it freaks me out even if I can see the bottom.
