What "childish" fears do you still have?

Strangers

Doctors, hospitals, ambulances, and especially, needles.

What about nurses?! We aren't scary.

Me...it freaks me out to sleep with the door closed. I saw a movie or a tv show where a girl was sleeping when a fire started in the house. The bedroom door was closed & she couldn't get it open because it was stuck. She didn't make it out of the house. I was really young, so I don't remember what movie it was. Scared me to death though! :noway:

Open water, especially at night.

Just found out this has a name: thalassophobia
But it's not just the sea with me, it's also lakes and wide rivers and reservoirs etc. But the ''imagining a big scary monster under the surface'' bit definitely fits!

I have a very high fear of Thunder and lightening, for that matter any kind of storm! Its like a phobia.
Also scared of crackers, sudden loud noises- like balloon popping LOL
As a child, i used to be scared of clowns, i used to recurring nightmare about clowns..*shudder*

Carwashes. I absolutely hate them, I refuse to go into one by myself.

SPIDERS!!!!!!! they really creep me out. :frown:

clowns, spiders, driving on busy freeways, mimes, being on a boat, sleeping home alone.....yikes I have a lot.

Spiders for sure, Daddy Long Legs don't really bother me they're easy to squash with your shoe but the hairy spiders or house spider types are creepy. Bats are kinda creepy just cuz you don't know if they are gonna swoop at you or not although I rarely see bats living in town in the country when I was growing up would see them every now and then. Really deep water cuz I never took swim lessons growing up and now as an adult I can just swim to keep above water and deep water freaks me out. I like fishing off a pier or things of that nature and pontoons aren't too bad they feel pretty safe but anytime being in real deep water or in a small boat or canoe freaks me out.

I am scared of the dark. I am scared of mice, spiders and snakes. How is that for manly? :embarassed:

I hear ya, pal. I was terrified of the dark when I was a kid, and my dad absolutely forbid us to have a night light. I'd have to beg to have the bathroom light left on.

As an adult I'm ok in the house if it's dark, but it's just barely ok. I don't like it, especially when I'm alone. If I HAVE to take the dogs out at night, I make sure the motion-sensor light is set to stay on, and I stay right by it. Otherwise my husband is the one designated to take them out after dark.

I also don't like basements, even when they're fully furnished. I don't know what caused me to be so afraid of them, but I just don't like them.

I'm afraid of the dark and basements, too! For some reason, watching the walking dead has seemed to ease my fears a bit, though. I know.. I'm a wierdo haha

Dolls, Death, Spiders, Thunderstorms, Heights.

Mirrors in dark/dimly lit rooms... Creepy

Heights. Even small ones, like 3 rungs up a latter and my heart rate sky rockets. I freak out driving over high bridges, especially if they go over a body of water.

I still hate clowns.

This. And spiders.

I have only one fear and it is sharks. They are way to apex predator for my liking.

I still hate clowns.
