What are you scared of?

I had the zoo on while i was changing Spencer and they had spiders on there, which I really hate and was just wondering what everyone else is scared of and why?

I'm scared of spiders because I had some bad experiences as a child, the worst was the day me and my sister were playing in the garden and I walked into a nest of spiders and was covered head to toe in baby spiders, I screamed so load mum thought I had broke my leg, she had to strip me naked and put me in the shower to get rid of them, not funny I wouldn't say I have a phobia as i can deal with small spiders and I can cope with bigger ones if they are far away, but I freak out if they get too close or if one gets on me.

the dark! sounds silly, but I hate it

Earthquakes. I seriously freak when there is a little one here.

Blugh I hate spiders too. My skin crawled when I was watching the zoo    And I hate birds flying above me after being attacked by a magpie.

Everything! I am scared of birds (as in pathologically afraid, break out in a sweat etc.), heights, the dark, lifts, mice and plenty more, and I'm also claustrophobic. Oh and it takes lots of drugs to keep my anxiety from controlling my life!

But spiders and insects don't surprise me funnily enough, I think probably coz we lived in Oz when I was younger and we used to get huge Huntsmen spiders in our shower all the time so I'm just used to them.

That's exactly why I keep telling DH there is no way I want to move to OZ.

No arguments re: it being safer to fly than drive help....you are still thousands of feet in the air in a flipping heavy metal thing and falling out of the sky is never a good thing!    Prefer to keep feet on the ground thank you very much!

Me too, even tho I fly so often I've still never gotten over my fear of flying and I plan my funeral every time I step on a plane!

I have a fear of bridges, I think it comes from my dad being silly at Huka falls and me getting freaked out big time. I still at 25 run over that bridge to get to the other side.

This sounds really dumb compared to all of your fears but I have a huge phobia of vomiting, as it I have panic attacks, sweat, can't catch my breath and shake. It's awful because I have a lot of trouble going to sleep because of the fear that one of the kids will be sick. It's a stuggle to keep it from ruling my life. The kids next door had a vomiting bug last week so I kept disinfecting everything. One time I heard Chloe be sick in her cot when she was 10mths old and I tried to rush into her but I could hardly move and my cheast went tight. I use rescue remedy now and it helps a bit.

I'm petrified of rats. Our cat caught one a couple of weeks ago, I caught a glimpse of it when I came home to turn the alarm off after the builder set off and I sat in the car at the bottom of the driveway when I got home from work until DH came and moved it. They're ugly and their teeth are far to big for their bodies. Ew ew ew.
I'm also scared of socks. I hate socks, they suffocate my feet and they're grotty. It drives DH insane sometimes.
I'm also afraid of sitting in a seat where people can move around behind me, this stems from a childhood experience which has also caused me to be afraid of looking outside a window when it's dark.
