Spiders (obviously... these freaks of nature have had the run of the world long enough!)

Shadows in the night that look like monsters when I am trying to get to sleep (juvenile, yes, but my point still stands). Taking this point further: when I wake up and mistake a shadow for some deformed creature beast.Is like a total freak out.

When I am out walking in town and there is that one weird person you have to pass.Always think,"Oh god,please don't talk to me." Never know what they are doing or will do. Never know who is messed up, ya know?

...when an insect lands on/crawls over my food. Even if it was only for a second it was like,"Ewwww... is it safe? Can I eat it knowing it was touched by... heaven only knows what?"

The RCP (another obvious one)

Seeing some decomposed animal on the side of the road with maggots all over it.

When I'm alone and walking around town at night, pretty much everyone I see is like a potential threat and I cross the road to avoid them or whatever.

(I have a phobia of mould.) Seeing anything that remotely looks like mould on food will mean I can't touch it even if I then find out it isn't mould.

Sometimes I find myself getting weirdly paranoid about stuff that it makes no sense to get scared about. Like recently I was going to take my son out to the park but then I became convinced that I could somehow feel static electricity building up and I was going to get struck by lightning, so I had to go home. I think that kind of stuff is OCD related though. Earlier I had a pretty big freakout because I thought I'd put diesel in the car instead of petrol. I'd checked like a million times as I was doing it but the whole time I was driving off I was thinking to myself, fuck fuck fuck what if the car just explodes, because when I get anxious my imagination runs wild.

Tonight at around 9:15 I was fucking freaked out beyond belief!

Me and two of my friends were sitting at a corner wall rolling some tobacco and smoking it when a Car came around the corner, Now I didn't think too much of it at first and finished my rollie and started rolling another.

THE SAME Car drove back around and was about to take a corner but this time the car just stayed there, It didn't turn until another car came around and then we all took note of it and just grabbed a glass bottle and smashed the bottom of it just incase.

Now at this stage I just wanted to go home, I didn't want to see the fucking car again.

While walking back the exact same fucking car drove past and now I was shitting it, I fucking ran home and got a knife and right now I'm sitting here just fucking thinking it over.

Spiders are my #1.

Not a fan of extreme heights either.

Children between 2 and 10 years old, and birds.
Mostly birds, I have a small case of bird-phobia (there is a real word for it, but I forgot).

Children. It's their small teeth that does it.

Noises and indistinct voices I hear during the night. I can't help but think it might be the cops. :eek:

I'm going to have to echo that sentiment on children. It's especially bad for us socially awkward folk who are bad with people anyway, but children... how the fuck do you communicate with these things? Better question: How do you make sure you will never have to?

When you're walking home and it's late and you think a car is following you.

I feel slightly uncomfortable sharing a list of my fears on the internet, but I will share a story related to this one.

A few years ago my friend and I watched a car drive around the block dozens of times from my front door window. Honestly it was probably just someone riding around talking and listening to the radio, which I occasionally do at night with my sister. However, this was a time where my nervousness was still well beyond reasonable limits, so naturally I thought they were up to no good. My friend had to go home, but he refused to walk alone, so reluctantly I agreed to go with him on the condition that I could ride my bike there. I figured I could get home really fast on my bike and hopefully avoid the scary car.

I dropped him off and started heading home. As I rounded the corner, the car began slowly following me. Once again, It was probably just following me because I was in the way, but at the time I was sure they wanted to kill me or something so I sped up, jumped off the bike mid-ride, and ran into my house. The bike was still going full speed in a straight line with no one controlling it. It crashed into the corner of my (rental) house and cracked the siding wide open. My dad was so pissed he banned my friend from the house because he thought it was his fault. I told him that I did it but he was skeptical. After explaining that I jumped off my bike because I thought a stranger was trying to kill me he realized that I was indeed telling the truth and forgave my friend.

Since I mentioned it in the story, I'll share another. I fucking hate front doors. I hate the ones with glass because they're easy to get through and people can see in your home, and I hate the solid ones because you don't know who's there. I always think it's a cop, or a debt collector, or someone who wants to kick my ass. I used to be afraid of peep holes because I thought someone would stab me in the eye through them.

People who are really attached to their parents past a very young age bother me a lot.
