    I have a fear...well, maybe not a "fear" per se. I just feel very weird and uncomfortable when I'm around it. Around what? Old technology. Not quite as old as steampunk, but in that direction.

    Ticker-tape machines. Stuff like this. I always feel weirded out around it, and tend to avoid it. i have no idea why.

    Thunder, but I'm getting used to it. I listen to my MP3 on max volume :grin: Or just ignore it and do other tasks.

    I do not like some stairs. I also do not like the gap between the train and the platform.

    I absolutely hate public transport. I think it's a travelling thing. Last time I went on the eurostar I had a mild anxiety attack that lasted for about 7 hours. It even happens in cars occasionally, but mostly trains and planes. Sometimes buses. I really really hate them. They make me want to cry. Thank god I can drive now.

    I'm terrified of climbing any form of ladder even though I'm not afraid of heights and also people touching their wrists.

    I'm terrified of insects. If I see one, I have to look at it to make sure it doesn't attack or get closer.

    I never understood why clowns is a kids' thing, they're creepy as hell o.o

    Also, when a stranger is walking behind me, I automatically walk faster, and try to find a way to avoid walking the same way as them.

    And I don't like talking to people I don't know on skype.

    This is going to sound very odd because I live in a country where this will never happen but I am really scared of tornadoes :confused:. I don't even know why they scare me, I guess they just look really big and I just never want to around when one is coming lol.

    I have real fear/phobia issues with certain sounds, especially rubbing ones. For example, I cannot stand the sound of myself or anyone else brushing their teeth (When I have to brush my own I have to have my headphones in and listen to loud music in order to cover that horrible sound) the same applies to the sound of people rubbing their hands together or one of the worst ones: People rubbing their hands against denim material.

    I am deeply mistrustful of sliced fruit touching other types of sliced fruit (translate to: fruit salad freaks me out). No idea why!
