    Elevators! I got stuck in one during my freshmen orientation at Eastern Mich Univ, and ever since I have avoided them at all costs! I have walked many stairs because of this fear, which I guess isn't al bad!

    Oh and i hate being touched by other people, and meeting new people, and new places and situations and...

    I love airplanes! <3


    Afraid of ants the size of quarters, though.
    Saw one at work today.
    I've been scratching ever since.

    fear of throwing up.
    No joke. I go through great lengths not to vomit..and it I do I pretty much have a panic attack and cry...a lot ...>///>

    THIS! I totally know how you feel. If I feel like I might throw up, I can't even sleep because I'm petrified I might wake up vomiting! I totally panic over it!

    Also, spiders, drowning, being buried alive, suffocation in general...

    I have mottephobia - A severe phobia of moths. Just thinking about them freaks me out...

    Things I imagine are in the dark.

    Not the dark itself, but I have a super active imagination and as soon as the lights go out (all the way out mind you) I will think something up to fill the space. Quite often GH will listen for me running back to the living room when I turn the light off in the hall too soon.

    Also an irrational fear of falling face first down stone stairs. Has never happened but every time I go down some I think of it.

    Moths. I literally have panic attacks if I am near them. Butterflies still kind of creep me out as well, but not as badly as moths.


    Oh that's horrible, because they tend to clumsily knock in to whatever is in the vicinity.

    I can cuddle a snake while watching someone vomit in a mixed swarm of bees/moths BUT if I were standing on a 10ft ledge above a group of Tea Partiers with a spider anywhere close....PANIC!

    I don't really have any debilitating fears. Closest thing is heights. I really don't like heights, but it's not to the point I have a panic attack

    Knives. I can't be in a kitchen with someone when they are using them or I'll have a panic attack. I automatically think it'll somehow stab me and practically feel the pain of it. Same thing with people pretending things are knives and trying to 'stab' me. I've gone into fits of crying and near hyperventilating when these things happen.

    Just curious-- is it o.k. if you're the one holding the knife, or do you have to avoid them altogether?

    I have a fear of tsunamis. I've never been anywhere near a real one, but I live on the U.S. East Coast so it *could* happen. I have nightmares about them.

    No fears per say but i am a little closterphobic. I hate being in a big crowd of people where you don't have any space. It's worse since I have kids as you have a stroller to manuever and 2 older kiddos to keep up with, makes you feel hemmed in...I hate that.

    I can hold knives myself just fine and cut things and everything. I'm not even afraid of being poked with a needle! It's just knives.

    Indoor malls. I get flu symptoms in them. Big conventions? Fine. Crowded bars? Fine. Something about an indoor mall makes me ill. I really try to avoid them.

    Heights... and I mean 3 steps up on a ladder. Vomitting. And being abducted and tortured.

    Rodents(being a "dude" this is especially embarrasing). I also don't like standing on or near ledges. I don't mind flying, however. Go figure.

    Losing muscle...

    You may think it's a joke but it's seriously a problem. I have a horrific toothache right now that I won't take an anti-inflammatory for because it impairs muscle growth. Rofl.
