I have one major, terrifing fear. It at times cripples my life. I have a fear that one day I may develop a phobia.
I have always been one of those people that is not scared of anything.
 
...people who ask me what my phobias are. As if they want to come kidnap me and do them to me. Therefore, I am not going to tell you what they are. ...so there.

I think somebody is suffering from paranoia not a phobia.

I Fear three things:
Falling
The Christian right
the upcoming catwoman movie (if you've seen the shot with Halle Berry in the new costume you know that no good will come of that movie).
 
Hmmm... well, I'm verrry slightly claustophobic. Put me in a small WalMart isle with a clog of people bunching around me (plus a three foot wide, seven foot tall guy backing up in front of me), not knowing I'm there, and I'm in panic. It's not a good thing... bunches of people all around me, not realizing I'm even there, ready to squash me between them or back up on me any minute (hence the huge guy in front of me).

But my main phobia is... don't laugh... fear of walking through puddles or walking on a slippery surface... *cringe*

The story behind this fear makes more sense. I broke my hand when I slipped in a puddle last year (you remember me telling y'all 'bout that, right?). So now I look really stupid when I slowly, ever so slowly, little step by little step, pick through the puddles, even really shallow ones, of a parking lot or on a slime-covered sidewalk... ***cringes and shakes***

What's that phobia called again???
 
I have extreme social phobia.. seriously.. college lists me under disability because of it

Aw clowns arent so bad

I developed claustrophobia in prison and now go into panic attacks if Im in a crowded room.
 
I have a huge fear of bees/wasps. When I was younger I was really scared of spiders too, but as time has gone by, my fear of spiders has gotten less and less. Now I'm only mildly scared of little, big spiders like brown recluses and black widows. Jumping spiders and tarantulas are very cool though.

What's wrong with Halle Barry as catwoman?, I paid to see that!
 
Fear of hieghts. I was afraid of bee's but I concured that fear this year by killing 3 bee's nest. Another thing is I see old people...
