Big black ships or black planes

Deep black water

claustrophobia

mountain roads where you can't see anything but down

Driving. My secret shame. I'm so terrified of hurting someone I have grounded myself. I am willing to skydive but I'd rather die than drive. Go figure.

Oh yeah- tapeworms. *Eww, huzzah*

I used to have a fear of sick, whether it be me or other people being sick, though i have overcome that over the years mainly since having to look after a friend when she was ill when her family was away.

Though now it is mainly a fear of Crabs, lobsters, shrimps, and prawns i do not know why, i just know i hate being in the radius of them and erugh i cant look at them!

my friends think im weird lol

I have a fear of heights & bridges. I especially hate crossing tall bridges!! I used to be afraid of elevators (lived on the 4th floor with a baby at the time too!). But I've pretty much overcome that one. But I won't get on a crowded elevator!!

The summer is not a fun season for me because I am terrified of wasps. What the hell is their purpose?

Spot? I'm SURE you know :)

Also, I am convinced that I will die in the hands of a serial killer. So, um, yea, i'm skerred of that too. You can blame me as an 8 year old watching Nightmare on Elm Street by myself for that.

Clowns freak me out.

And a few years ago I hated being in a room with blown up balloons! It wasn't really a phobia, just that I was always on edge waiting for one to pop.

I'm afraid of heights and mold and rodents (eeek!). I fell off a high dive when I was 9 and landed on my back (in the water) but knocked myself out -- ever since then I get really dizzy looking over cliffs or being high up! The other fears are just things that gross me out! I had ickiness.
