    Mirrors and windows that aren't covered by some sort of cloth. As well as taxidermy animals and child dolls.

    Anything with a stinger. I've gotten better at this fear, but it's more of a "I can touch it with a 15-foot pole now, instead of that 30-foot pole I may have been able to use"

    Hell. It's irrational because I don't believe in an afterlife. It helped to read about various depictions of the afterlife. I've made plenty progress dealing with this fear, but I'm not entirely over it. Every night, I touch my bedroom door, an even number of times, and praise the devil. I used to almost perfectly align my indoor shoes, and praise the devil. I know it's a bit crazy.

    Seep paralysis. It's irrational because it's harmless. Nowadays I usually just hear voices talk about how I'm an evil person.

    Tsunami. This fear isn't entirely unrealistic. Almost everyone would be unsettled by facing death... but just the mention of tsunami, is usually enough to give me a small freak out session.

    Dolls and manikins. I'm scared they'll come to life and try to kill me

    Flying bugs in general, especially moths and flying cockroaches. Bloody things traumatized me as a kid back in Grandpa's old estate.

    -Dogs. I had a bad experience with dogs as a child and I scream when I'm near ten feet of them
    -Needles and Tampons. I can't STAND the thought of anything penetrating my skin in any way
    -Holes that stretch out. Like when you tear a hole in those cheap plastic tablecloths, they freak me out for absolutely no reason. They just scare me.
    -The sound a metal fork makes against a glass plate. This just makes me shiver and get chills for no reason at all

    My fear of spiders is irrational. I'm not afraid of them because they might be poisonous, I'm afraid of them because they're terrifying. And that doesn't make any sense. Ergo, it's irrational.

    Tall buildings. Strangely, I'm not scared of standing at the top of a tall building and looking down (I've been to the top of the Shard with no worries) but I'm petrified of standing next to a tall building and looking up as I fear it's going to fall on me.

    the moonlight sonata by Beethoven. This is because I messed up playing all three movements when I was in highschool.. Infront of everyone and it stuck with me. Everytime I hear it, I get a sick feeling and I feel like running away or curling up and die. =_=

    Deep water. But that's just because for some reason I'm convinced that the way I'll die is by drowning.

    The dentist. I absolutely hate it. I think it's a control thing, i.e. I feel totally helpless when I'm in the chair. I also have a fear of being trapped / imprisoned but I don't think that's all that irrational as no one would enjoy that!

    Jellyfish, snails, and slugs scare me. I'm also scared of presidents and presidential candidates. Usually I am scared of politicians and people who wield lots of power and authority. I'm scared to imagine the kinds of minds they possess and what drives them to do what they do, and I'm scared that they can't really grasp the ramifications of decisions that effect people around the world.

    I love your signature lol :grin: I am scared of heights because everytime I go on something high I will lose control, I can't even do escalators... I'm being serious :roflmao: and when I was a kid I loved to go up high and do escalators and things XD also I think I might have a thing for the dark, because when I am in a dark place my mind tends to mess me over a lot, it like makes things look all different and creepy like something may not even be there but my brain goes " what if something is over here" I look there and something I look at will be seen as some face or something idk XD I'm one weird individual :badgrin:
