For me, I don't really have an phobias, but Snakes scare the living daylights out of me. I also can't stand the sound of a dry tooth brush going over something. It makes me want to vomit. Clowns have scared me since I was 3, and my sister made me watch an old movie where a clown goes around killing people. That's about it. . . . .

I really hate planes, being in a space that is so small that I can't move freely (concrete crawls spaces o_o), swimming in murky deep water, being followed by creeps at night when I am now where near enough to scream and get some ones attention (it has happened, I used my super ninja skills to evade them), being houses that are reportedly haunted, waking up in the middle of the night and seeing hallucinations from continuations of my sleep XP, open door, closets, window blinds and mirrors in the rooms that I sleep in, and the concept of black holes. lol It is quite a list and there are probably more.
Also, being followed by creepy things in the woods at night, after being followed by a menacing cougar on Hallows eve three years ago with my boyfriend after being lost in the woods for 2 hours I have panic attacks in the woods sometimes when I hear things that I can't identify.

My fear of spiders has gotten so bad that even if it's on the outside of the window, I freak out and move away from it. I got this phobia from my grandmother. My mother has a fear of spiders too but she's not as bad as my grandmother and I. We don't even like looking at pictures of spiders, lol.

I second this so much.... i know right!! D;

I personally am afraid of heights. I tend to get a horrid sense of vertigo even when I climb stairs. And when I'm on elevators I have to distract myself with random musings or I freak. The thought of being lifted high into the air by a metal box is terrifying. Especially since I've been on one that's suddenly dropped three floors. *cringe*

Then there's my fear of open, or dark doorways. When I go to sleep at night I have to close my closet door and any other door that opens into darkness. There's a very strong reason behind this fear, although I cannot share specifically what it is. I also can't sleep with my back to a room, not unless there's someone I know awake and in there with me. I have to sleep with my back to a wall to feel safe enough.

Then there's my fear of spiders and snakes, I hate spiders, but I can deal with them as long as they don't TOUCH me. But once they touch me, I freak out. The same goes for snakes, in a cage, or behind glass I love them. But as soon as that snake is let loose, you can bet I'll be swinging from the highest place possible in the room.

As for things that just make my skin crawl, but don't really scare me. I'd have to go with the feel of Styrofoam and cotton. It's hard to explain but the feel of these two materials makes my skin crawl and my stomach turn. UGH! Just thinking about it gives me the shudders. When I go shopping I always try to buy egg cartons that are made from the cardboard substance. And I try to avoid using ANYTHING like cotton balls or q-tips. Touching the inside of my ear is one thing, but actual skin to skin contact *shudders*

I have automonophobia, fear of robots, or mechanical things with human qualities. I used to be afraid of printing stuff on the computer cause it yell at me saying "Printing started! and "printing complete!" I now turn off the volume of the comp for those reasons.

I also have issues using phones, because voices come out of it. I mean I know it's not the phone talking, but the person on the other end, but still gives me the heebie jeebies lol

Also afraid of clowns, but because I had a bad encounter with one as a child. I'm also scared of dummies and puppets -shudders-

Spiders and Hair! well not when the hair is still attached but when it comes off and is drifting around the cosmos it freaks me out!

I have a phobia of organs/innards. Anything to do with the inside of a human makes me want to throw up. The outside is okay, but those shows with cutting people open and pictures of the human anatomy just makes my skin crawl and I have to look away or else I'll feel sick. When it comes to animals I can stare at it all I want. Maybe the mild grossness you feel when you see roadkill, but I don't get pale and clammy and need to run away like with the inside of humans.

I also have a fear of heights. I can't go on a pier or anything without having trouble walking. Although that's getting better. I can manage to not freak out on a bridge now.

Planes, on the otherhand, are a completely different matter. I have to have the aisle seat and have an iPod or someone in my ears making me not hear the sound of the plane. I'll either sleep the whole time or write or draw to keep my mind off the fact I'm thousands of feet into the air and there is only two ways a plane ride can end. Crash or land. If I have nothing to do occupy myself, I'll sit there holding onto the seat handles of the chair as if my life depended on it, staring straight ahead and not talking. When I was a kid I never used to be afraid of planes. Ever since I went on a trip to Mexico years ago the fear hit me like a ton of bricks... Wish it would go away...

I'm scared of very deep water. I have mental images of when I'm several hundred feet under the ocean and it's all dark and no matter how much I try to kick, I still can't see the top. Then see a dark figure in the distance. Getting closer, bigger, huge.... *shudders*

I have a fear of spiders. I'm getting over it, but it's not easy. They are poisonous, and they can hide in small places aside from they look really creepy. I also have a fear of being unrestrained in a really high place with other people around. Thanks to my brother, who would always provide a complimentary push yelling for me not to fall; it scared me to death, because I thought that I would jump in surprise, lose my balance, and plummet hundreds of feet to my death. :shock:
I also am terrified of vomit. If someone starts to show the preemptive signs of sickness, I'm gone with a small puff of smoke in the shape of my body floating in my place...

Spiders. I hate spiders so much. I really can't stand them, even the little ones make me scream like a girl and run from the room.
I hate blood too. It makes me feel sick at the sight of it. Not too good in my profession in the Medical Feild though (have no fear, I don't actually treat people)
I don't like thunder and lightening either, My dad was hit by lightening when I was young (He survived...just) and ever since then I have hated it with a pasion.

I have Arachnaphobia, spiders scare me shitless even a spider stuffed animal or a picture of them, I'd get scared even from the tiny ones sometimes I think they'll just magically grow so large and kill me or eat me. <_<; I also have a fear of bees and insects some of them don't scare me but I hate them anyways.

I fear blood and hate it whenever I see it makes cringe and I have a minor fear of needles and mirrors in the night, and I find it funny how I fear that there is going to be a bloody body in the bathtub but I calm down after checking there isn't.

Coulrophobia. The fear of clowns. I can't look one in the eye or the face. Hell, I can't be around one without having a panic attack. Hypervinilating and crying. I can't exactly pinpoint where the fear originated but I imagine I might've just blocked it out of my memory.

Also Agoraphobia. The fear of open spaces. I mean, I can walk into an open field just fine. But if I start looking around and thinking too much on it, I've gotta leave. I could barely live in my old house because it was so big and I was on my own. Far too big for me and I hated it. I eventually moved out and in with a friend of mine. She lives in a tiny house, which is MUCH prefered.

Ladders. : (

I love standing out on tall balconies and stuff and taking high dives in rivers or whatnot, but I can't climb more than halfway up a ladder without freezing up. : /

I think it has something to do with knowing how stable whatever I'm standing on is.

....i think i may hav the oddest fear so far mentioned. im terrified of red pencils an furbies. first of all, the red pencils is becuz of a reoccuring dream i have wher this giant red pencil is chasing me. now i hav to throw all the ones in the packets. the furbies im not sure y im scared of. i woke up one morning an my sisters was out an i burst into tears. is that odd?

The Dark: I like the dark because it allows me to sleep, but I can't sleep alone or be outside in the dark. When I'm outside, I can't see very well, so if something happens, there isn't much I can do. And if I get scared, I can hold onto my teddy bear, Appelteeni, or my boyfriend.

Bugs, Arachnids, & Other Creepy Crawlies: Only when they jump out at me, or I don't notice them at first.

Change: I can change, and I do change. Just some of the time, I don't know if it's good or bad. And that thought scares me.

Spiders. Though the smaller one don't bother as much. I hate going down to our basement. That's where the mutant spiders live.

Giant bugs and spiders. Also afraid of the dark, and by dark I mean pitch black. My dorm room is located on the bottom floor and I hate being the first one to arrive as it means that I had to feel around in the dark until I found the light switch.

Dolls. The creepy looking ones who wear Victorian clothing. The kind that was in that one doll horror movie... (Not Chuckie. Chuckie never scared me. Only female dolls do.) They're porcelain, I think...

Enclosed areas/being crushed. When I was little, an earthquake devastated our house. (Hello, California.) Technically, two. Stupid me, I'd hid under the cabinet under the sink when the first hit. When the second one did... ..... -shudders- Ever since, I've had dreams about things crushing me.

Anything reflective. ...I can't explain this one so much. I'm just afraid that whenever I touch that reflective surface, my reflection is going to scream at me.

Hmmm... where to start? I shutter at the thought of getting blood work done or getting shots because I'm terrified when needles are in my skin. I remember over the summer I was visiting somebody in the hospital, and I ran out of the room when the nurse came in with an IV bag and needle.

Which brings to the fear of hospitals and forgive me I have a brain phart and can't remember the proper term for it, but those buildings where you have a bunch of old people in it, ya know, old folks home? Yeah I don't like those places because the smell of them both freak me out, it smells of medicine and death.

I also shutter at having to be on a ladder, simply because I am clumsy enough on the ground. Put me on a ladder and I'm guaranteed to fall!

And then of course are the usual, spidars, snakes, all reptiles but turtles, and all amphibions.

And I too am afraid of bees. I have been stung by one! It's scary for me because some people in my family are allergic to bees. Having been stung only once I still do not know if I'm allergic or not.

I'm horrible with needles. My mom had to get blood work done before her surgery and I had to leave the room. I'm also afraid of dentists. Spiders are a big one too. Oh yeah, I have slight acrophobia, the fear of heights.

I have the biggest phobia of water that I cannot see through, particularly ocean water. I can't even go in the water when at the beach, and being even close to it like on a dock will scare me to death. I remember once, here at Timicauna State Park there is this boat dock you can walk out too, and it has a metal walkway that leads down to this cement things that actually move a little with the waves. I got about halfway down the friggen walkway before my legs gave out and I started crying my eyes out like a baby. It was embarrassing, but my fear of ocean water is so big!
Though I'm told it might be caused from when I was two years old, in Key West my parents always went to the docks at night to go Shark Fishing. Well one night it happened to be rough in the water, and I slipped off the boardwalk while the undertoe was strong, my mom barely caught me by the hair. XD I've had so many experiences when I was young of coming close to drowning also, it's a wonder.

As for a simple fear, I have a fear of Palmetto Bugs. They are like ridiculous sized roaches that fly. XD They come out in numbers here in Florida during the summer. For some reason they just freak me out to no end. I so much as see one and I go running the other direction. I'm not scared of spiders, snakes, scorpions..but palmetto bugs..UGH.

Oh yeah, I also have this thing against tics. Something about a parasite that sticks it's head under your skin feeding off of you until it swells so big and pops releasing other dozens of baby tics just doesn't sit well with me. o_o. LOL. I gain great satisfaction lighting those suckers on fire. >:0!!!

Im scared of clowns, Small spaces, and Spiders. Those are my big ones.

I have many fears but my main two consist of spiders and being forgotten. When I was small there used to be huge spiders of all assortments that used to crawl around my parents apartment. I vaguely remember my father squashing them in his bare hands and the slime of their insides sticking to his hands. Since then spiders have scared me to no end. I can not stand the sight or mention of them. If I see one my head itches for a good while.

Being forgotten steams from the move from a two bedroom apartment to a three bedroom house when I was three and a half. The move to a more spacious house made it hard for me to locate my mom and older sister, who were in reach at my old home. My parents made out basement a toyroom and they would leave me alone down there all day. The time I spent down there was the worst time of my whole life. I still hate going down there today.

I'm scared of deep water. I don't like the feeling I get when I can't touch the bottom of a body of water. When I went canoeing I swam in the river and it was really deep, I freaked out EVEN THOUGH we all had life jackets. I just feel so helpless.

I have a fear of falling. More like, it just makes me sick. I hate the feeling when you're on a rollercoaster or some type of ride where it falls downward. I hate it because I feel so helpless.

I also have this WEIRD fear of breaking my nose or thumb. It disgusts me to even think about it.

I have a fear of people sometimes. This is a big one and it's really weird so I don't wanna talk about it. LOL.

I'm not sure what the technical term for it might be, but I seem to have an actual phobia of embarrassment or public places in general. I mean yeah for everybody it sucks to be embarrassed, but if I even so much as say one sentence in a public place(answering a question in school, for example) I over-analyze what I said and even often have panic attacks due to this. I also think I have a slight agoraphobia where at most times I suffer severe anxiety at even the thought of leaving my house, and often can't. Also, windows at night. I already have a paranoia where I always seem to think I'm being watched, but windows at night are just the worst..
