    Holy shit can I get behind this one. Cannot for the life of my figure how people can so casually accept being stuck by a needle. THEY ARE FUCKING SHOVING AN ICE PICK INTO YOU. METAL IS BEING JABBED INTO YOUR FLESH. MET-AL. This is why I will never have a tattoo or piercing. Gotta keep the epidermis whole.

    Well I don't have like major fears but some are very discomforting.
    I don't like height, like on a 3rd floor balcony, I feel my stomach getting unsettled. I also cannot stand to see people on the balcony of high places, I get very scared and I need to close my eyes and leave.
    Also with height is that whenever I see someone on the balcony, I always imagine them falling and breaking apart. Now you understand the whole eye closing.
    I fear dead bodies, just knowing that the body is lifeless is very scary. I'm pretty sure I'll never go to a funeral or at least get close to the body.
    Deep waters. OMG that sure is creepy and the thought that something might pull my legs and drown me scares me. This also includes being on a boat, because my mind will tell me that the boat will sink and I'll drown.
    And lastly, closets. I will never in my life sleep with an open closet. Never!!!! They are creepy and more so when the light forms creepy shadows inside it.

    I guess that... Getting burned alive or buried alive. Those are my ''real'' fears like, if I see someone getting burned or buried alive on the TV or on any movie I just feel like Im gonna faint and I get like really scared and/or anxious. I dont know why, I guess Im not scared of dying, just dying on a slowly and painful way. I actually find dead by falling of a building kind of beatiful and poetic but thats just me and my sick mind...

    Rabbits. I can stand being in a room with them if they're in a cage but I just get really scared if they're out.

    Also eye makeup. I just don't like things going near my eyes. Which kind of causes a problem for me right before plays and such when I need stage makeup :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm claustrophobic and acrophobic. One of my friends stuffed me in a cabinet when I was younger, that wasn't fun >_>

    In addition to that, a very specific fear of mine is disembowelment. Literally the scariest thing to me would be having my insides come out >_> I'm sacing myself just thinking about it.

    I have two big phobias, one rather common and one rather bizzare. I can't *stand* bugs, especially if they fly. If they just crawl I can usually summon the guts to smash it, but if it flies I will *literally* lock myself in my room until my mom kills it. *shudders*

    My other phobia is showers/baths. No I have no freaking clue. I take a shower and total panic attack. I literally have to bribe myself in order to shower. (therapist says it may be related to something in my past, *shrugs*)

    Heights are a big fear of mine. Also roller coasters (as roller coasters are combined with heights, obviously).
    Also, I am afraid of performing sports in public, for some reason.

    Social anxieties as well. A lot of them.

    My therapist actually diagnosed me with Social Phobia, so I guess that counts.
    Other than that, heights, spiders, and being over a large body of water (like driving over a bridge or being on a ferry/boat) which kind of ties in with the fear of drowning.

    Loud noises, especially thunder. That shit scares the crap out of me. I become as scared as a whimpering puppy that got kicked. Even during the loudest thunderstorms, people in my house remain completely unfazed, whereas I freak out, so I use ear plugs or listen to music at the highest volume to blur out the sounds...

    Spiders, drowning(because I can't swim), and I'm still afraid of the dark.
