The natural continuation of Pike's thread as I realised I was hijacking it with my present self oddities!
What were you afraid of as a kid that you're still afraid of now?
As a rather boring starter:
Satanspawns AKA spiders!

Leeches, snails, worms... any parasitic animal shaped like a worm, basically. And even most non-parasitic ones.
I'm cautious around spiders and bees. I'm not terrified of anything. I'm not sure I'm even a bit scared of anything. I recognize my limitations. Honestly, I can't think of anything that's scary. True fear is paralyzing. I can be shocked because I don't have heightened senses with which to be aware of everything that's happening around me at all times, but shock is hardly fear. It's actually sad. My cousin once told me she can't enjoy a rollercoaster ride unless she's screaming and she can't scream unless the person next to her is screaming. I almost feel that I can't feel scared of anything unless I'm around other people who are actually scared. Even then, I'll only be cautious.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

Rollercoasters >_<
What am I still terrified of...? Noises in the dark. Not like, generic noises. I mean like rustling and nearby howling because both of those things signal animals that can and will smurfing bite me to death.
I'm still terrified of ghosts and troutting myself.
Murderers, rapists, natural disasters.
I love all animals, and there is only one species that truly frightens and dísgust me - snakes. I have so many nightmarish experiences when it comes to snakes. Being attacked by a long green snake while I'm peacefully plucking bananas. Being harassed by a swimming snake while I'm lazily drifting in the sea.

Yesterday, me and my parents went to a wedding.
At the reception, my dad got drunk to the point he started dancing.
The thought still brings tears of sorrow to my eyes.

Well.. at night, there's always some random tapping/scurrying coming from the roof to the side of my window, which faces the backyard. I was always too chicken to open the blinds to see what's going on (much less even go out there to investigate), but I always tell myself that there's a rational explanation. There probably is, but I get superstitious sometimes.
And at around the same time, my TV, bookshelf and other pieces of furniture in my room always creak and settle. What. ;____;
