    i'm afraid of failing. when i was in school, and I failed, no big deal. I take the class again. Now, I'm out of school. My wife, and soon my daughter, depend on me wholly for their health and wellbeing, for if I'm not working, we're not eating. If I fail, I don't lose my GPA, I lose my wife, my child, my whole universe.

    Stakes are higher now.

    even so, I never let my fear keep me from doing what must be done. Fear never motivates me, never keeps me from doing something. if I'm scared of a tricky kicker on a slope, i'll hit it that much harder. Get worked to hell, but i'll still hit it.

    Makoto, Honesty.

    Spiders. The only time I can go near a Spider is to kill it with a large wad of kleenex, and not even then if it's on the ceiling (it could fall on me after all). Aside from that, there aren't really any fears that aren't rational. I'm not afraid of heights, but at the same time I'm not about to walk along the edge of a very high roof, whereas there's really no event in my life to explain my fear of Spiders. It's a very irrational fear, and as a friend of mine has pointed out to me, I'm probably the most rational and logical person he knows.

    -I can not go into a dark house, no matter what.
    -I will not stay in the same room with one of those eerie dolls that have the open and close eyes.
    -I sometimes get that feeling that someone/something is watching me.
    -If a knock at the door comes, I'm slightly hesitant to look through the blinds or open the door.
    You sound JUST like me. I have all those fears too. Even the dolls thing. I'm afraid of dummies and clowns too. And rollar coasters.

    Heights. One time I had to sit in the top of the bleachers for a school assembly, and I couldn't look down or I'd get a slight case of vertigo. Any higher, and I'd start hyperventilating, etc.

    Also, sometimes if feels like I get pulled toward cliffs and open windows on upper floors. Like something is trying to force me to jump.

    I like to go to high places because I'm scared of them I think. I used to like to sit on my grandparents roof when I was a kid and look down because it gave me this orgasmic feeling of being alive. Sort of. It's hard to explain, like - my feet start trying to make me jump but I've still got that power over them to say no bugger off and then they're like jump you chicken bastard and then they get really mad and start electricuting me it's really quite the experience.

    I'm afraid of Teletubbies and flies taking over the world. Well, not really.

    I'm really afraid of dying without oxygen. It's true: I'd hate to die suffocated, at the sea or something...Just the thought makes me cry. Again, not really.

    Oceans and lakes. I can't be on, in, or even look at them (in person) without being scared.
    Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    Spiders.

    I can even trace it back. When I was quite young, the old guy from next door was in my house, and he told me there was a big Spider in his Bathroom. At the time I wasn't too fond of Spiders anyway, but I decided to brave it and take a look. So, I get to the Bathroom, peer over the side of the Bath, and see this huge Spider crawling up the side towards me. I ran back into my house screaming, and I couldn't sleep properly for days.

    It didn't help when a few days later I stumbled out of my bedroom half asleep, brushed past a wall, then looked down at my arm to find another huge Spider on my sleeve. Again, I ran screaming pulling my top off as fast as I could.

    spiders in the bathroom are terrible, and then after i see any bug i get really paranoid that there are tons of other bugs all around me but thats not really a fear i guess, oh well

    and i have a fear of drowning and failure(not like school grades but other stuff)

    I'm afraid of:

    -being alone in a room with a cockroach
    -clowns
    -things crawling over me
    -bending over near the door only to have it pushed open ,resulting in my head getiing slammed and getting concussed.

    -Getting my eardrum pierced coz someone jostled my arm while i was using a Q-tip.

    and the list goes on and on...

    I am scared of the dark. My sister scared me when I was younger with the whole Bloody Mary thing which made me scare to sleep in a room with mirrors in it. Also I am kinda nervous around heights. Scared by the paranormal yet ever in love with it.
