What Do You Fear?

I'm really afraid of heights. And falling from heights. I don't have vertigo, but I still find it very scary.
Also, I think just now I'm scared of taking a car ride. I heard some stories about car crashes, and it's frightening to think about the dangers of car rides now. I never actually realized what could happen to me or someone in my family if they didn't do something simple such as just wearing a seat belt So now, I'm a bit scared, but at least it's making me more cautious.
 
In a large sense, I'm afraid of failure, and of death and of my friends' and families' deaths.

More specifically, I hate spiders, centipedes and other sorts of creepy-crawlies, though those are the biggest ones. I also have a strong fear of physical pain. I tend to be averse to getting shots unless I absolutely have to, for example.
 
I have some fear of hights (when I'm standing too close on cliffs, cause I'm not the best when it comes to balance).
And fear of getting a detention as well (every single person in my school fears so...)
 
I'm scared of spiders, social interactions and zombies. I'm legit serious about the zombies, there was a time in my life when I had zombie nightmares every single freaking night, they stopped now but still, they scare me...
 
Scared of fungus of any kind, jellyfish, wasps/hornets, shots, crushes(unfortunatly, this prevents me from speaking to them DX ), getting my glasses broken, genital pain.

FUCKING HATE BUMBLEBEES, OH GOD THEY'RE THE SCARIEST O_O I hate the noise they make and they're so huge and hairy. I hate bees, but if I'm in a clover field or some similar environment and saw a bee on a flower, that's not scary cuz at least they're minding their own beeswax...
 
Katsaridaphobia- Fear of cockroaches
Arachnophobia -Fear of spiders
ballistophobia- Fear of missiles or being shot
Harpaxophobia- Fear of being robbed.

I don't know if there's more, but that's all I can think of.
 
Here's a copied and pasted list of mine. I may make changes later.

"I have WAY too many! I'll list some of them in no particular order.
- Anything that could hurt me
- Physically or mentally deteriorating
- Places I can't see
- People thinking badly of me
- Certain things crawling on me
- Being humiliated
- Causing something horrible to happen
- The paranormal
- Dead and dying things
- Other people being criminally insane
- Losing control
- Being afraid
- Someone I love dying
- Losing my personality
- Small spaces
-Dying
- Being helpless
- Bathrooms, hospitals, fog, and creepy places in general

Edit: I'll add my stupid worst fear....People who've watched Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal will laugh at me for this....#96. I will start screaming if I even look at a picture of that guy."
 
You could fear almost anything when you start over-thinking things and actually observing them in depth. It depends how I feel in the moment and how intrepid I want to be :) For instance, I would never want to smoke weed but if given situation would to arrive and I felt down for it enough, I would give it a go. That's just an example, but it should give the general idea.
 
I fear being left behind by the people I personally love... :/
 
I'm not a very fearful person, if I had to make a list though, it would be something like:

Spiders (midly scared to full blown terrified depending on the size and how close they are to me)
Bees and Wasps (For stings)
Ghosts (All noises that are made at night = ghosts)
Me and my family gettig sick (I'm a bit of a hypochondriac)
Chavs (the kind of people that carry knives and smash windows)

That's all I can think of really.
 
NOTE: Most of the names of the fears I found at Wikipedia, but who knows, maybe I invented one by accident? Also, this is mostly a copy-and-paste of a post at one of my two forums, since I'm too lazy to retype everything. So if I unknowingly broke a forum rule with this post, sorry. :sweat:

FEARS:
(1) Dogs. I must have an aura that radiates "eat me!" or something. They keep trying to attack me for no good reason. I stand still, they attack me. Also, they send me into a suicidal depression. Worse, my parents don't care about me, they would rather get a dog. This was caused after a dog tried to kill me sometime in April 2012. In Cape Town.
(2) Birds. Getting bit in the stomach by a bird hurts. It even caused me to fall and bruise my knee sometime in April 2012, on the same day as the dog attack. Also in Cape Town.
(3) Handwear. Gloves give warmth, but I am not a person who enjoys warmth. I prefer coldness, since I am faster when I am cold than when I am warm... somehow. Sometimes combined with fears #4, #12 and #11. Had this fear since I was 5, apparently, as I can remember running and hiding under my bed whenever I saw someone wearing gloves, even on the television.
(4) Headwear. Mainly because most of my nightmares are where a person wearing a gas mask me you in unbelievably brutal ways almost *EVERY* single night. Often combined with fear #19. I had this fear since I was 5, and I didn't even know what it was. However, other headwear also terrifies me for some reason.
(5) Poison. It kills. It is usually combined with fear #11. This is how I died in my first nightmare ever.
(6) Mirrors. They have the habit of breaking when I look at it. Don't know why, because when I looked at the window, it didn't break. Maybe the mirror's glass is extremely weak to the gaze of somebody who knows 75 raised to the power of 6 or something? That's just me being sarcastic... but I had this fear since 2003, and I guess that means I fear my reflection?
(7) Insects. They try to eat me. Entomophobia is not a good thing. Why do they try to eat me? Because some bugs like biting people, and I was like 4 years old when I was first bitten by one. Since then I constantly believe that they want to eat me, so I either ask someone to smash them or I smash them using whatever nearby object I can find. Like a keyboard. Or a heavy monitor that is broken. Or a cat. Or even a pencil.
(8) Arachnids. Same as above. Arachnophobia is bad, but it's terribly terrifying. Eight legs are scary. Just posting anything related to an arachnid (like cartoon characters) will result in me leaving for who knows how long, such is my fear of it.
(9) Fire - I prefer coldness. Pyrophobia is bad as well. I was burnt to a crisp in a nightmare once.
(10) Elevators and lifts. They remind me of earthquakes. Poor Pokémon aren't allowed to use Earthquake! Also, cut the cables that allow it to go up/down and one will fall to death, I guess. Which was how I died in the first nightmare I had in 2013.
(11) Hospitals. Needles + real blood = fear of hospitals = nosocomephobia. Since March 2011, some time after I left school forever.
(12) Doctors/nurses. They use needles to draw blood. Thus they are also fears. This includes dentists or anyone in the medical profession. Dentophobia, pharmacophobia... I blame the hospitals for terrorizing me.
(13) Firearms. They kill almost instantly. Especially when combined with explosives. Hoplophobia, apparently. And they cause pain. Lots and lots of pain. This was my fifth nightmare-related death.
(14) Explosives. It's common in Cave Story too: the Missile Launcher. That and I hate it. A lot. I hate explosions too. Unless it's icy for some reason. My seventeenth death in my nightmares.
(15) Water. Cats don't like being in water, maybe this is connected to me and Simba being close. Either that, or because I can't swim (and never will).
(16) Needles. For some reason, I can feel the pain that it causes for two weeks. Blame hospitals for that. Fun fact: Trypanophobia is something that Goku from Dragon Ball Z has as well, and the fact that my hair sometimes looks as though I'm a Saiyan doesn't make matters any easier. The closest thing to a compliment I ever had was that I'm similar to Goku in many ways... but that's goin' off-topic now, right?
(17) Real blood. I feel nauseous seeing it. Makes it easier to actually hit me when I'm in one of my "fast-movement modes" - sometimes I am faster than usual for an unknown reason. Often combined with fears #16 and #12 and #11 and who knows what else. Fake blood, on the other hand, doesn't make me feel sick. I discovered this in April 2007, when I somehow managed to injure myself so bad that my entire right leg was full of blood. I got grounded for fifty weeks just because of it. Disproportionate? Definitely.
(18) Cameras. Every time somebody takes photos, there's a bright flash, and I become dizzy for a while, maybe even temporarily blinded or something, I dunno. Basically, it's ipovlopsychophobia. I have the fear of having my photograph taken. Since before 2003.
(19) Biohazard suits/HAZMAT suits. They look scary. That and they're usually worn by people who kill me in nightmares. Which means that it's combined with fear #4. And I have been killed by someone wearing it in my twentieth nightmare, who was helping the other killer kill me.
(20) Rust. Mainly because it can cause blood poisoning. Then it usually means doctors and hospitals and... No, I don't want to even go there.
(21) My Alter Ego. He tries to kill me. That and he already tried on 7 March 2011. And he destroys things. He's the definition of evil... I guess this is how I cope with my inability to control my anger?
(22) Clowns! Got killed by one in a nightmare I had WHEN I WAS FOUR. How I remember, I have NO idea. All I know is, I have coulrophobia. THE HORROR...
(23) Drowning. Seriously. See fear #15. Also, I can't swim.
(24) Sheep. Seeing a million decapitated heads trying to chase me to kill me... so full of blood... it hurts... I blame a grade 8 text book for Afrikaans.
(25) Love. Philophobia. I have a fear of love. What in blazes is wrong with me? Am I supposed to be dead by now with all these fears I have? ... To be perfectly honest, nobody I know loves me, everybody hates me. That's why I choose to be oblivious to it - because (1) I don't know what it is and (2) everybody hates me in my home town.
(26) Telephone phobia is the fear of making or taking phone calls. Which I have. It freaks me out and it started on 3 January 2004.
(27) Radiophobia... mostly involves... fear #11... and I hate X-Rays. I've never had one taken but regardless, it involves hospitals, and...
(28) Cars, trucks, etc. A car killed my first cat, Raichu, on 23 September 2003. Cars send me flying into a rage whenever mentioned. Although I have actually managed to use the anger caused from this to help me beat bosses from video games (like Bahamut and Baphomet from the remake of La-Mulana).
(29) Being around people - mainly because many people in Gansbaai tried to kill me, to my knowledge. Being near one or two people, that's okay, but more than that, and I start panicking.
