What is your strangest fear?

I have to sleep with my hair or blanket over my ear because I am afraid a bug will crawl in it.....I'm so weird. I also am terrified that I am going to one day fall down the stairs and that will be the end of me. I have already fallen going up the stairs (concrete stairs) hurt so bad! I am also crazy scared of cops,even though I don't break the law or anything, just knowing they have the power to put me in jail freaks me out

I am deathly afraid of rubber animals. I have been known to climb over the top of the isles in the store because little kids were playing with rubber snakes on both ends of the isle.
I left my not quite 2 year old daughter in a little gift shop store one time because she picked up a rubber fish and I freaked out. Don't worry, I went to the next shop over and got my mom and she went and got my daughter. She is 18 now and not scared for life over it....LOL.

I can not walk down a toy isle alone if there are rubber animals in it. I have actually gone into full blown heart attack mode before over them. Taken to the hospital and everything. It is so retarded!

Hehe this one made me lol good one!

One of my biggest fears is of june bugs (or june beetles, they go by different names). They're big and icky and make a terrible crunch when stepped on and they buzz into the windows all night. When I used to hear that I would lay there going please don't get in please don't get in. Even thinking of them creeps me out! Roaches remind me of june bugs, so when I moved into my apartment and the first night I saw a brown roach in my bathroom....I called a friend that lives nearby hysteric like PLEASE COME GET THIS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! If that thing had flown at me or tried to touch me...it would have been over. He got it though I haven't seen any since in here, because that one only got in when they were turning over the apartment (they leave doors and windows open to air the place out/clean it and it likely got in then). I hate bugs!

i have a few
1 being alone for the rest of my life
2crowds of people
3 dogs just because i have been biten when i was young

When i was growing up and saw the movie JAWS when it first came out , i was never able to let my feet be not covered by the blanket. It always felt like the bed was like a boat and if i let my feet exposed Jaws would attack. This fear lasted 20 years till one night after a hard an honest day at work i just said " Ah forget it ! " and since then i don't fret it. :ohwell: Every now and then tho , i will creep out and just for the sake of keeping my toes warm, fold over the blanket and sheet over my feet !

:ohwell: On the other hand when i was around 22 , i accidentally cut the tip of my finger off with the same table saw i still use as of last year . I had to go to emergency and they told me that it was just the flesh and i missed the bone by a nano millimeter. Since then until today , i have 2 think of god as i cut lumber on the table saw and i am very careful now when my fingers start to get close to the running blade ! :sad: I love my fingers , even with the arthritis ! :bigsmile:

For some reason I can't edit my own post? Anyways, I wanted to add one. I'm afraid of deep water. Even if I could see to the bottom of the ocean, I get really nervous in deep water, and by deep I mean that I can't touch the bottom with my toes. So in my case just over 5 ft. Swimming pools are okay, but anything else frightens me.

Is it weird that I am not scared of anything??? I work with snakes and took one to a local radio once for a Face Your Fear competition. They were keen for me to join the celebrity (not a word I had ever used for myself) edition, but I could not think of a single thing I was afraid of. As I said, I work with snakes, also frogs. I don't kill bugs (except ticks cos I don't want my pets to get sick), spiders make awesome decorations in my rafters (they die if they hang around on the floor, but that is due to my cat!) I love being up high and small spaces or the dark don't bug me, I prefer swimming in the sea or a lake than a pool but that is only cos I don't like smelling like chemicals... My one chance at fame lost because I don't have any phobias!!

My strangest fear is of birds and of my teeth falling out for no reason. A bird flew in my car 2 yrs ago and I only had one window open. It was chirping and bouncing around, then landed in my lap. I threw my car in park and tried to get out but was strapped into my seat belt. Still quiver and cry at the thought of that one . I have this nightmare a lot, of my teeth falling out and me steadily trying to push them back in.:huh:

I'm mostly afraid of heights. In 7th grade I freaked out a bit on a trip to six flags when I went up in that metal box on a wire that crosses high above the park. But, I'm only afraid of heights when I'm actually high up. Not so much a fear, but I also really, really hate cockroaches and throwing up, but not necessarily at the same time. I've had bad experiences with both, and they are both just so nasty. What's worst is when I'm nauseous and start thinking about cockroaches. ugh.

-A band of clowns abducting me in my sleep.

-Worms invading my body or surroundings.


I can't decide which is worse. :sad:

trees. they just creep me out. the fact that they're alive (photos of them growing AROUND things after years and years, like bicycles and fences, are totally nuts) and rooted in the earth so deep, they're like big awful warts or something. o_O i dunno, i've always had this phobia, albeit small, of wood itself since i was little. very weird, indeed.

my biggest fear is something happening to my teeth. becoming crooked, losing them, chipping one, etc. i've only had one recurring dream in my entire life, and it involves my teeth falling out. i can watch any horror movie, gore doesn't bother me in the slightest, the only thing that can make me squirm is something involving teeth. x_x

I'm 58 years old and I'm still afraid of letting my feet hang over the edge of the bed. I'm also afraid of what's under the bed when I go to bed at night. I should never have watched all those Alfred Hitchcock movies when I was a kid. I have a flashlight on my night table that I turn on and place of the floor so it's shining under the bed. Then I hurry up and take off my house shoes and socks (if I'm wearing some) and quickly get my feet off the floor. Then I reach down and get the flashlight, turn it off and put it back on my night table.

I'm also afraid of darn needles (or walking sticks); those insects that look like twigs. shudder. Those things terrified me when I was a kid.

Another thing that terrifies me is being in the hospital and having my hands tied down. I've told my son "DON'T EVER LET THEM DO THAT TO ME!!!" Unless I'm unconscious and don't know my hands are being restrained. The moment I'm aware of being restrained SOMEBODY BETTER UNRESTRAIN MY HANDS!!!

I'm scared of bellybuttons... This includes my own.

i dont fear them persay but pomg hate them hate if someone touches mine or sticks there finger in there own or anyone elses i get so grossed out .

Also i have a fear of cotton or any fabric material in my mouth like at dentist i will gag before it even gets to me lol

Mayo... OMG, it's so ****ing creepy. YUCK!!!

My strangest fear is those plants ->>..

Because when i was really little a teacher told me that they are the origin of nits..
And now im terrified to go anywhere near them.

But thats just my strangest fear.
My biggest fears are dolls. Because when i was young i owned a hand puppet, that when you where in a room with it by yourself, it you turn your back to it, it will begin to crawl towards you. You never get over something like that, to this day still makes me tear up over it in fear.
Also terrified of clowns, cockroaches and finger nails having a nail pushed through them..
But on a side note love all face paint other than the clown style, and love scorpions and other insects...
Although hate spiders, but not because im scared of them, because one bit me once and it left a scar.
