Electrical storms. Short story: Trapped as a 5 year old kid who wandered out after lunch while visiting family friends on a farm, into the tall cornfields. Huge thunderstorm rolled in, I was lost, lightening all around, striking trees. Me crying. You get the idea. My father and the farmer found me after what I was told was 15-20 minutes but seemed like 2-3 hours of being out there. There was even a tornado fairly close by that same afternoon. I can tolerate the storms now, but I am not calm when they are severe.

i had a bee hive thrown at me for a joke and was stung like crazy. i have had the biggest phobia with bees ever since. i actually stop breathing when i see them(i hate summer)
-
enclosed spaces is my biggest fear,so being locked in anything even a room would freak me out.
-
People holding my neck, or touching me full stop. I really, really hate it. You have my uncle to blame for that
-
I've mentioned this in a previous post: I have Kakorrhaphiophobia- Fear of failure or defeat. I do not know what caused this, maybe it's because I've strived for perfection throughout my life, which has made me refuse to be beaten or defeated.
-
Pigeons. I used to go to the train station every day, and I saw some horrible things.
-
not being accepted
-
My parents dying.
-
That once I get out in the "real" world, that I won't do very well, and will have to live with my parents, until I'm 40, or they're dead!
-
Going to hell.
-
my fear is fear. it frightens the living daylights out of me. which is bad. because i'm afraid of afraid. so how do i get around that?!
-
My offspring dying.
-
That I won't make the right decision, regardless of the justification, in any circumstances and because of it, will have to negatively judge myself, forcing me to demean my confidence now and in the future.
-
Heights.
-
Finding out one day that everything I have ever done has been for nothing.
-
I have the hieghts thing also - inner ear is messed up, so when I loose sight of the horizon everthing goes topsy-turby. The nice thing though is that everything else is simple in comparison to facing that ( and no matter how much I face it it doesn't go away). Any type of social phobia or such is nothing for me in comparison to the heights.
-
My biggest fear is pain. That is what we all fear, in truth. Emotionally, physically, mentally, etc. At least that is what I think.
-
Losing the love of someone... well.... you love.... What transpired to make that happen is... well.... losing the love of someone I love. =P
-
The dark!! Believe it or not, I am terrified of the dark. I was molested as a child in the dark and ever since then, I HATE being alone in the dark. If someone is with me, I'm fine. Also, I am terrified of dying and not being "saved". The thought of spending eternity in hell scares the crap out of me!
-
Greatest fear is tornados. When I was about 7, a tornado went through our town. The sheriff was knocking on every door because it was around 2 in the morning. My dad was out of town on business so it was just my mother, my grandmother (who came to help my mom), and my two baby brothers. We had to hurridly gather up our stuff and run to the play room which was under the steps underground. Now, everytime I ever hear the word tornado in our forecast, I pack up the kids and animals and go to my parent's house (they only live 15 minutes from me).

Being caught in a tornado. I have no idea why, as I've never even seen one and don't live anywhere near where they usually hit. Yet I've had nightmares about them for twenty years.

Besides drowning, seeing duplicate questions posted. I'm currently quaking in fear and I'm not in the water. Edit: Sure, rate this down. It's been flagged as a dupe.
-
My biggest phobia is spiders. I am petrified of them and I can spot one as soon as I walk into a room... probably because I regularly check for them, though. I can't sit on a toilet, get in a shower, walk on a porch, or lift a garbage can lid without inspecting for spiders first. Also, if I have to walk through any wooded area I have to have a long stick or branch to swing in front of me just in case. There have been a few times when a spider has managed to get on me or very close to me and my body literally shuts down with fear. Other than that I have a big fear of losing my mom.
-
Elevators. I'm terrified of them. i am extremely claustrophobic: i have never been in a cave, attic, closet, or an elevator since i was really little. they scare the sh*t out of me!
-
OPTICIANS they terrify me, and I am afraid of very little physically, not much more can hurt me mentally, but opticians have me running
-
Getting pregnant. It really, really scares me, the idea of getting pregnant. I mean, what would I do with it? How would I explain it? Would I keep it? Then what? Would I make an ok parent? What about the other person? How do I explain that?! Then everything comes out, a lot of things get revealed... oh it's awful, just the thought.

Waking up one day, looking around my house in the suburbs in a loveless marriage to an average looking woman, and realizing that I was mediocre. Not really, but that's comically melodramatic isn't it? My biggest (two g's, yo) fear is probably being bitten by a brown recluse spider. Those suckers are creepy.
