Also, if you have a fear that isn't on here, just post it, and I'll add it to the list...

Tch, tch, JellyFish! Forgetting Fear of Long Words... shame on you! :P Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, remember?

Okay, things I am afraid of... you probably won't find something for one of them, but....

Fire Lupes, and I'm claustophobic only when I'm riding on something (scooter, bike, rollerblades) and go through a tight spot, though if I stay too long in tight spaces the same thing happens. Oh, lessee... that is all I can think of right now...

well, my worst fears are definitely revolving doors and being buried alive. i think i may have some kind of claustrophobia, but i'm not afraid of elevators or anything like that.

but i can't go through revolving doors. i keep thinking i'll get caught inside and suffocate. :(

+Slamming/closing doors when I don't expect it.
+Sometimes ghosts... though I wonder "what's out there".
+Flushing toilets. No, seriously. If I'm in the room, I run like hell.

:P

I'm scared of heights. It's not so much a fear of heights, but a fear of knowing I'm going to die, and being absolutely helpless to stop it. Falling from a high place would do that.

I'm afraid of drowning.

I almost drowned at a water park when I was six. ^^;;

Sudden noises. Not loud noises, just noises that i'm not expecting.

Bees/wasps/spiders (because i'm allergic)

Wide open dark spaces (like being stuck in teh middle of a field in the dark; when theres no moon, and no light. Makes my skin crawl).

Slight fear of enclosed spaces, hate being in water when its murky, or seaweedy, or i cant see the bottom, and i also dont like those toilets you get on aeroplanes :P Its like when they flush they draw all the air out of the little room, and being slightly claustraphobic doesnt help. I kinda have the door half open, stand as close to it as possible, then flush the toilet and FLEE! :P Yes, i am strange. :)

I'd have to agree with that one, I'm always so jumpy. I also have a fear of the unknown. I like to be in control and know what's about to happen and what to expect. It makes me nervous when I have no idea.

Fears: Spiders, bees (because I'm afraid the sting will hurt and I'll be really allergic), and stuff that might hurt me (which is partly why I can't do gymnastic stuff... I'm afraid I'll land on my head and break my neck). ^_^;

Me too! All three (especially the suddenly noises part. I'm awfully jumpy). XD

I used to HATE going to fireworks when I was little. I remember one year I curled up into a ball covered my ears and cried for the whole show. And when I went to the circus when I was five, I ran out of the arena and into the lobby when they did the human cannonball.
