What are you afraid of?

[Vec]

What is a really random or uncommon phobia you have?

I for one, have this phobia of dropping things from high heights. I am not afraid of heights or anything, I am perfectly fine with them actually, seeing as I live in a 10 story building. It's just that, when someone's holding something in their hands and then suddenly sticks their hands out over the edge of the balcony, like a phone or something... And it's not limited to just that... just being near an edge while holding something is enough for me to break in cold sweat.

The odd thing is, I don't feel anything if the thing I'm holding is food

What about you?

You must have hated that pinch gripping phones over drops and slots in elevators trend that went through social media a while back.

I have two pretty random phobias, I'm afraid of large flightless birds, AKA Ostriches and Emus, and I have a deep foreboding of Shipwrecks, particularly underwater.

[Shorticus]

All my fears are common as Hell. I'm a normie.

[SleepingSilence]

Not to be bleak, but pretty much nothing but death. <.<

Oh, and not afraid of them, but fuck bees. Fuck everything about them.

[Vilageidiotx]

Locked-In syndrome.

[Camerch]

Sharp things.

It goes from pocket knives to barbed wire to freshly sharpened pencils. If it's pointed in my general direction I'm backing off.

[Unhinged]

People asking me what I'm afraid of.

[NuttsnBolts]

Heights... just a massive can of nope!

[Mag Lev]

Gonna seem rather bleak here but the only thing I fear is failure. Not people failing me, but me failing everybody else. I feel that, anytime I fail a person, I'm losing something of myself.

[Delzmore]

1) Women (Yes, I know..I am a sad dude xD)
2) Failure in life
3) Dying and not experiencing life like I want it.

Mujahideen lol.

[Songster Gecko]

Heights, the dark, crowds, being alone. Yes, I know the last two are contradictory.

[Cyndyr]

Everything. I'm deathly afraid of snakes though.

[Twisted8]

Not having control over my body- anything from being on roller skates to having sleep paralysis etc
Wasps (well, any flying insect really)
Being separated from my family

Think that's it!

I fear sleep paralysis too. And the dark.

But trypophobia is THE WORSE (for me). I don't actually fear it, I'm deeply disturbed by it. Whenever I see one of those images that triggers trypophobia I get this weird and terrible feeling of discomfort. Just the thought of it makes me sick. Those images never leave my mind once I see them.

[Bornite]

Scorpions just really creep me out. But only those I actually encounter, pictures and such are no problem.

[Chello]

Clowns, I despise them and will run if they are near me.

[Pair of Hearts]

Alzheimer's. Amnesia. Generally, forgetting.

I don't want to forget people who made me laugh and spent a good time with, neither do I want to forget or lose cognitive skills like vocabulary and pun jokes.

Not just for myself, but people I like/love. The inconvenience and grief that come along with "poof where is this" and "huh wut how does this work again" and "do i know u".

It's scary, and highly inescapable.

[Kejmur]

Hornets. Screw them, seriously x_X.

[ArenaSnow]

The prospect of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump becoming president.

Oh wait.

Fu.....
