I don't like stuff involving puking either. Especially other people doing it where I can see and/or hear it. But bees and flying, stinging insects are probably one of my biggest (I'm allergic too, which makes it worse). I almost feel like an expert to where I know what kinds of colors, smells, etc., will either attract them or make them mad and want to attack me, and I avoid these. I use only unscented toiletries in the summer and tie my hair up so they won't get caught in it. Right now, I'm eagerly anticipating the first frost and cooler weather because the yellow jackets are bad this time of year, especially in outdoor places with trash cans or lots of shiny metal objects (like shopping carts). And I'll never go anywhere with Africanized bees (believe me, I keep track of where they are, and hope they don't come where I live).

Some steep ski runs. "What the heck have I gotten myself into?" I say to myself.

That's one of my favorite movies. Looks like such a scenic way to commit suicide.

Small closed in spaces.
Water where I can’t see my feet.
Sharks
Some dogs.

People. I hate people. I'm terrified of being judged by them.

I'm also afraid of heights, high speed, and dying. I'm also claustrophobic.

I'm surprised no one mentioned bathroom stuff. It's estimated that 7% of men and 5% of women (at least) cannot go in public. It's a phobia with a name.....something like paruresis.

At least this fear has a solid basis in reality - that is, we need to protect ourselves physically as well as our "space" when not able to react to threats.

Death. It scares me. It saddens me. I wake up from sleeping not remembering any dream, knowing that someday we will all experience a permanent version of that ...non-existence.

Nobody gets out of life alive right?
