    Frogs...definitely. If they come near me I go ballistic and it's not cute. I have curly hair and I think the fear is that if they ever landed on my head I wouldn't be able to untangle their creepy little toes fom my hair. Ugh! It's freaking me out just talking about it.

    Spiders. especially large, fast, hairy or anyother distinct feature, hate them... Snakes are a close second, they are also very fast:
    fast and creepy scares me.
    Mean people, especially mean people without a conscious, that is super scary...

    I have severe ichthyophobia... Sometimes I have nightmares about fish raining down from the sky, and I'm in a big open field with no shoes on.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ghosts, lightning storms, and that someone will break into my house and kill me. Also the ocean, and any natural waters where there could be deadly animals in the water. This mainly comes from when I swam in a lake, then later learned there were small sharks in the water. Ahhh scary!

    When my mom was younger, she was mowing the lawn and her sister's pet frog had been missing. You can probably predict the ending. Long story short, she got frog blood and guts all over her and to this day, she's not scared of snakes or spiders or anything. But anything that jumps, and she freaks out.

    Moths!!!!!!!!!!! If I see a moth in the house, I will LEAVE and go stay at someone elses home, until I can find someone to come to my place and kill it... I've literally left my home at 4am before.. Oh I have also abandoned my vehicle on the highway and walked to an exit because I had one in the back window. Its pretty extreme.

    However, most bugs do not bother me one bit.

    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!

    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.
