I dont really have any fears. When I was a kid I was to be afraid of hights, but I got over that years ago.

------------------
The future is here, and all bets are off.

I mildly agoraphobic (fear of open spaces). I don't get panic attacks or anything, but I feel a little uncomfortable with lots of wide-open space and nothing else around me.

------------------
Our very existence is at stake

I've said this in the chat before, I think, but I don't know if there's a word for it but I like have this fear of my digits breaking or locking up for some reason... like I hate to hole a large plate with one hand because I have to hold my fingers straight out for a long time, and I like have this fear they're going to stick like that or bend backwards or something... I donno, it's weird :x

Wow, I'm screwed up.

I'm scared of about a million things. For a while the biggest one was heights (which still super scare me)-and it's no fun being scared of heights at 6'4" (everyone thinks that's a riot).
But by far the thing I am currently scared about most is my eyes getting poked out. One day in Chem this girl was running around the room with scissors, holding them the way you AREN'T supposed to carry them, tripped, and landed with the scissors a half inch away from her eyes. I saw the whole thing in slow motion. Not fun.
That got me thinking- think how many times you have been hit on a little tiny spot on your arm hard enough to take out an eye. With how many times that happens to an eye-sized area, it has to hit your eye sometime....
Scary.

And I'm scared of a lot of other things, too, but it feels like I'm attempting to confront by fears, but doing a bad job, so I'm going to stop.

I'm phobic about at least heights, somewhat of big trucks (I'm talking big freight trucks here) on a highway when I'm in a car, getting some lethal disease, and possibly the weirdest: long escalators, especially those leading to subway stations. And I live in Helsinki, the only Finnish town with a subway.

I'm pretty sure I have more, but I'd say those are the essential ones.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I love the subway escalators! Especially when going down! You get this feeling of, "If I just lean a liiitle bit more forward, I'll set everyone off like dominos " . And then there's always the desire to ride down the center divider one day. Have you ever had to descend one of those escalators running down because you were in a hurry to catch up to your friends and the escalators were inoperational? That's really fun. They do seem a bit steeper than the conventional ones.

I have a safety conscious acrophobia. I had no problems with the Eiffel Tower because there are safety railings. I have no problems cleaning the drains on our rooftop either. But then when a few years ago we had a family trip to Madeira where we went walking in the mountains. There was a part where we crossed along a 3 meter wide path on a saddle-like ridge. There was a 70 meter drop to the right side (you could see the mist and low-hanging clouds below!) and on the left there was a railing that simply consisted of a thick rope going through these iron hoops every few meters. Needless to say, I held onto the rope all the way across the ridge .

I'd probably have arachnophobia if our biggest species weren't those Daddy-Long-Legs thingies (everything else would fit on my biggest toenail). I usually just jar them and bring them outside. They just help to catch mosquitos during the summer, which is always nice. We don't have any of those nasty huntsmen-like breeds.

Wasps on the other hand... They DIE! Bumblebees and regular bees are fine though.

I'm not claustrophobic, but I really don't like being stuck (like if you shove your arm between some bars to pick something up, but then your elbow get caught when you pull it out.)

We were shown this video clip in psychology last year were a Swedish girl had a fear (or disgust) of pigeons. The therapist took her out to the market and she would cower whenever one flew over and start to weep. After about five hours of hanging around, the therapist got here to the level that she was able to walk by without flinching, and even feed them without running away whenver they came within ten meters.
