Phobias

[Asj]

I think I'm afraid of losing myself or getting completely lost.
When I was around 13, I had two nightmares about unknowingly getting into mutation-causing radiation, and one where I realized I was slowly being brainwashed, and forced myself awake for each, as though I thought I was about to die (I love fiction about that type of thing, though. Especially amnesia). And as for the getting lost version, I think the main proof is when my brother used to use cheat codes in games, and at least once when he did it with a Sonic game, and sonic ended up leaving the game world and falling through nothingness, I had to turn away and tell him to make it stop.

I also dislike tiny bugs, or bugs that surprise me. Especially ants, which can appear anywhere, and can't fly off of me, or stuff like spiders or shelled bugs that may appear inside a cabinent with food, or inside a washcloth. It's that sneaky stuff that bothers me. If I know they're there, I don't mind them at all (except ants. They seem so dirty, with the little slime trails and stuff). I don't like that feeling of surprise and being snuck up on. >_>"
(like BestestShirt said earlier about ants. Yay, it's not just me.)

I used to want to hurry up and be able to drive, but after actually trying to control the wheel, it seems like I've wanted to less and less. I think the responsibility makes me nervous.
If I'm in the passenger seat, I don't pay much attention at all to stuff and usually feel very relaxed (and it's fun directing people based on maps - but my dad seems to dislike going anywhere he hasn't been before... and never trusts my directions, even though they always end up being right).
But, when I'm in the driver's seat, I feel like I can't see enough out the windows (can't even tell if I'm in between the lines on the road), I'm worried that other people won't see stop signs and run into me, and I'd usually check the speedometer and the side-view mirrors more than I look out the front. I've gotten to where I feel nervous just considering trying to learn to drive again. I'd like to drive places, but without feeling like it'd be my fault if I wreck (and as long as I feel I'm not a good enough driver, I'm going to feel that way).

I'm melissophobic, meaning I'm afraid of bees. I'm also afraid of wasps, hornets, and anything else bee-like. It's weird, because I've never even been stung, but I guess that's the point of a phobia: it's irrational.

[amdreams]

Caterpillars (though it's more of a burning hatred for anything crawly) and not so much being forgotten as being remembered in a bad way

[grimvalesti]

A surprise flying cockroach.

[Loom]

H-h-heights.

[blackmoongirl2424]

Rides. Even the marry-go-round will freak me out.
That and pickles.

[Lady_Arthemis]

Cockroach in Air-Force mode. There's nothing scarier than seeing a cockroach dive itself at your face.

[Blinker]

Not getting a job ;-;

[xkrazydog]

After reading Uzamaki: Snails. I use to like snails! Not so much anymore oh god.

Any torture involving the wrist, hands and nails. I can't take that very well.
And creamy things you put on your skin and on your food.
Euch.
Particularly if its white. Euch.

Skunk Cabbage. I hate that shit with the burning fire of 1,000 suns contained within the fifth circle of Hell. You can burn it, cut it, spray it, plow the ground where it grows, and yet, not only will the shit not die, but when it grows back, it brings friends. It's like the Borg of massive, poisonous, stinky weed-like plants. It must assimilate everything in the history of ever.

When I was in the fifth grade, my Dad sent me to dump a pot of spoiled beans out in his field, where this shit grows in abundance. Furthermore, Dad had a tendency to not mow the field, making this shit really hard to see and avoid, until you stumbled upon it in the tall grass. I went out to the far side, dumped the pot, and started walking back, only to discover I'd walked right into a massive patch of it. I screamed so loud, the neighbors (who live 1/4 mile away) called 911 because they thought I got attacked by something. It was bad.

Clowns
Seriously, those things are freaky!!

Maybe it comes from the fact I watched IT when I was only 6 years old.

I watched a few of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies when I was 7 and refused to sleep for about 6 months (I obviously fell asleep but tried not to, because I was scared to).

[Aeris]

For me, fear of them shuting down the internet. And rapists, and a global pandemic.

[Sunnykitty]

long strands of spit... it's ok when it's in the mouth but the act of it dripping is freaky! especially a big 'ol loogie! augh! D:

[SolaratheHedgehog]

Spoiler! :

Nah, I'm just kidding~!

I'm scared to death of spiders though. Hate the buggers.

Is that like SourKraut? I hate that stuff. I'm not afraid of it, but I try to stay as far away as possible. (but I think cooked cabbage is okay in stuff like vegetable soup. It's just when it's by itself that it gets all smelly and nasty tasting.)
