Moths, the bigger they are the more terrifying they are

Horrible fuzzy fat-bodied fluttery things, with eyes of pure malice and those feathery antennae....

Can't even be in the same room as a moth, even if it is stationary....

Roller Coasters

Thought Godzilla crisped the scarey one? Mothra...

roller coasters?

seriously?

The problems I have with roller coasters are the height factor. Thats why I don't go on many.

gotcha.

Childhood trauma.

Edit: oh, and being a pansy.

Height I'm scared of. Everytime I go on a airborne operation I get scared. It's like this.

One Miiinuutteeee- Thinking why I volunteer to do this.

OUT BOARD PERSONNEL STAND UP! INBOARD PERSONNEL STAND UP! knees a bit weak..maybe from all the equipment in my rucksack thats making me tired...I know I didn't go over 45 lbs.

HHHOOOOKKKKK UUUPPPP!! Holy Mother of all Gawd am I'm really going to do this?

CCHHHEECCKKKKK EEQQUUIIPPPMMEENNNTTTT! Check leg straps make sure not one of my boys is under a strap....and damn...I have to pee....

SSOOUUUNNNDDDD OFF FOR EQUIPMENT CHECK!! Ass clinch tight cause the guy behind me going to show how brave he is when he smacks your ass like a porn star....you do the same to the guy in front of you....I'm really doing this for how much again?

Last guy slapped says "ALL OKAY JUMPMASTER!" No backing down now. Oh....My....Good...get me off this plane...I have to pee so bad...and the shoulder straps are really digging in.

Old way "STAND IN THE DOOR!" Did one of my boys slide back under the strap?

GREEN LIGHT GO!! Stumbling to the door mind almost blank. The thought of "I don't want to" is there. Reality is go out the door yourself or the guy behind you going push you out.

think I OT here

I fear nothing, my nightmares are scared of me.

All hail Mattyrm, the new Chuck Norris

Heights. 1/4" steel-mesh catwalk separating me from a 90' plunge to the concrete below sucks. I hate walking around the plant sometimes.

But at least no one is shooting at me.

1. Needles because when i was young i had 4 in a row.
2. Heights I find it hard to look over banisters.
3 Small spaces went to on a trip with my school to a army base and went into a small dark tunnel then couldnt find a way out (I was crawling through) it took me a hour to get out.

But at least no one is shooting at me.

Not really fear thats getting pissed off after the "Holy Feth....I'm being shot at" and seek cover...you know your going to peek over whatever cover you have to possibly expose yourself to more fire to see whats going on....curiousity a mofo

That is certainly an unusual one, currently in my flat all the doors except bedroom and front are open, and normally stay like that for the most part.

Then I would not like your room. I'd be thinking, CLOSE THE FETHIN DOORS!

I always get made fun of for this but... missing limbs. Not sure what it is but anyone with a missing finger, arm, leg and so on.

Its gotten so bad that at one point while my wife and i were leaving a department store the greeter at the door was missing her arm from just below her elbow, I couldnt go anywhere near her we had to stay there for almost two hours casue I would freeze up in panic if i got to close. We finally left when some one asked the greeter for help and she moved far enough away from the door so i could hurry and run out.

I really hate this fear too. Mainly cause i feel bad for the way i act around these people by hurrying and moving as far away as i can because i know its not their fault that they lost the limb and there is nothing they can do about it now.

Spiders, heights, and I'm kinda clastrophobic :/

This but with solid foams and velvet.

Insects and arachnids in general creep me out but I'm not really scared of them, other than moths that is. If a moth flies towards me I will flail like a little girl.

Depending on other people...not sure if that really counts as a "phobia" though.

No phobias, but open doors and large open places make me nervous.

I dont have any phonias I know of, an I'd like it to stay that way. My sister on the other hand is VEEERY afraid of spiders. There was a time when she made me check her shoes for the 8-leggers before she would put them on. Sheesh!

I'm not afraid of being at heights, jumping on the other hand...

Also natural things being in me, so splinters, parasites, blackheads all freak me out.

I will vault over furniture to avoid someone touching my stomach or sides. It freaks me the feth out. Along with anything sticky and receiving compliments. They're both a no-go.

Spiders and Chalk..

I really despise Chalk.

Your spelling is wonderful.

Any flying insect and drowning.

I have problems with compliments, not sarcasm.

Ha! I actually missed the spelling error.

How ironic!

Escalators...

Also had a friend scared of blu-tack. So one day when he wasn't paying attention got some and put it over his bag buckles so he would have to touch it in order to open his bag to get out his books. Funny as hell watching his reaction, though cruel. Best part was he blamed someone else who does it all the time. He still doesn't know that it was me.

I fear having my stuff stolen. I carry a knife with me when I walk across the campus at night. When I was in Paris, I safety-pinned all my pockets shut.

Although I fear open water, I was cool with scuba diving. When my guide pointed out a moray eel, I got pretty close to it.

I used to be Auto-phobic (fear of oneself), now i just get creeped out by things. I hate velvet, it gives me shivers up my spine and I feel weird for awhile afterwards. And I hate roaches. I'm not scared of them, I know they're harmless, and in fact very clean. But I've woken up to them crawling all over me too many times and I really don't like them now.
Also needles. Or rather, I don't like losing a part of myself. So I'm a little bit 'meh' about getting an injection (still dont' like it though) but if you need to remove a tooth, or take blood I'd really rather not.
I have the opposite of a fear of hieghts. I fell out of a tree when I was a kid, didn't get damaged and loved it ever since. I actually have to stay away from ledges that are too high due to my tendency to get -way- too close.
