What are you afraid of?

This thread is going to turn into a bawwfest sooner or later so I may as well do it right now!

I'm terribly afraid of roads, cars, bikes, all that jazz. When I was 15, I was walking up to Wumpi's house with her and everything was fine until my stepfather saw me and decided to stop and give me a lift. He's incompetent and managed to skid the car and hit me on the pavement. He crushed my ankle, got me three weeks in hospital, a metal ankle, six more weeks in a cast and a morphine dependancy that still lasts today.

Now I have to listen to music when I'm near a road, because the sound of a car rushing up behind me scares me to no end. I can't walk against traffic because THERE ARE PILES OF METAL RUSHING AT ME HOLY SHIT, and I can't cross a road unless there are absoloutley no vehicles in sight  :brow:
 
As dumb as it sounds...
I have Arachnophobia... I can't MOVE when I see a fucking spider. There is no real reason for that, they just scare me to death.

I'm scared of the unknown. Not "what is the finite number of decimals in PI" unknown, but more Lovecraftian unknown. :x

Aquaphobia. Especially so if I can't see below the water. I don't think its from a traumatic situation I just can't stand the thought of not knowing what's swimming around me.
 
Them fricken caterpillars. Probably because back when I was a kid, I found one in a bowl of vegetables.
. . . It was mildly cooked.

Me too. But with pretty much all bugs, even worse with centepeids, and I think I would die if I saw a millipeid(sp?)

I also can't sleep in my room if the door is closed. Never.
 
YELLING. YEAH, WHAT'S F***ING WRONG WITH IT?!
I can't have someone yelling, even if it is not directed to me. I don't know why, I just start to cry out of a sudden when someone yells at someone else/me (most of the times) or I just get like, surprised or something.

Also... Bugs/Insects. I have allergy & Insectophobia. And also Arachnophobia.

Double negative, buddy.

I'm not scared of anything. I'm not trying to be macho or cool or whatever, there's nothing in the world I'm afraid of. There are a lot of situations where I'd be scared, like if an axe murderer was chasing me, but that's just 'cause I don't wanna get hurt or killed.
 
Well, I don't have many irrational fears. Key word being irrational.
The one I do have is a fear of large groups of people. I don't know why it is, but large groups of people fucking terrify me, to the extent that I was almost paralyzed during a street festival in Bali one time under the sea of people parading.
 
Okey, listen here, I'm reeeaaally shy, but at the same time Not.

Its hard to explain but sometimes I can be friggin' Monkey and run around get in trouble at school and such and then sometimes if I get attention from LOTS of people, I just Freeze, I can't even budge a muscle!...
Thats what I'm scared of., Well in short words--> People staring at me, when I don't want'em to do it, conclusion I'm scared of people with Free will O_o

Hey, didn't you say that you once collapsed(or something to that affair) because of the sheer number of people surrounding you?

Oh, and spiders scare me. Scare THE SHIT OUTTA ME. No idea why. They're just so... Bleck. Especially those huge-ass wolf spiders. I nearly cry at the sight of 'em, which makes for some pretty embarrassing situations. Interestingly enough, I can actually stand to be around daddy long-legs(these guys, as long as they keep their distance... Well, that article actually makes them look pretty damn scary.

Yeah, I probably did. It was the day before Nyepi, the day of complete silence. According to tradition, everyone spends the entire day before partying. Probably the entire island is out on the streets celebrating.
I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but I had a mental breakdown sometime in the middle of the celebration, right after the torching of the paper mache demon statues. These things are fucking HUGE, and the effort put into them is phenomenal. They're put on bamboo platforms and then soaked with massive quantities of gasoline. The crowds become even more intense when they blaze, and that's roughly when I broke down and collapsed.
Kind of funny you'd remember that.
