[I]Horses.[/I] I fucking hate horses, they are big, and noisy, and loud when anxious. And It doesn't help when I live on an acreage. THEY ARE FUCKING EVERYWHERE.
Railings, ledges, being brutally stabbed or cut to death with a sharp object, home invader tries to kill me in my sleep. That sums it up. Also have a massive fear of public humiliation, although somehow I am a great public speaker.
Mirrors in dark / dimly lit places, losing the vision in or suffering an injury to my right eye (my left is blind), elevators make me shake and the thought of getting in one makes me want to puke.
Water deeper than 6 feet. I went snorkeling with my family once in 30 foot deep water. I looked down and nearly shat myself when I saw my feet, then the floor so far down. It's a million times worse when I can't see the bottom. Even in games I can't handle that. I played that gmod map in the ocean once and it just creeped the hell out of me.

[QUOTE=xBeyondtheLimit;37309600]Mirrors in dark / dimly lit places, losing the vision in or suffering an injury to my right eye (my left is blind), elevators make me shake and the thought of getting in one makes me want to puke.[/QUOTE] Does that mean if you wanted to you could totally pull off (and be justified) having an eye patch?
I have a strange fear of losing my mind. Like if someone says something to me, I fear that I imagined it or remembered it wrong, even though that never happens.
I kinda have a fear of horses. And I like horses. But if I feed one a carrot, I'm always afraid of it suddenly just biting a chunk of flesh off my hand.
[QUOTE=Scarabix;37305296]I used to pet these when I was a kid. I was never stung. I only have rational fears. I'm not afraid of monsters, spiders, heights, or dangerous things that I don't see every day. I guess I have a bit of a fear of donkeys. Well. Not a phobia. I mean sometimes I pet donkeys and do just fine, I don't go mad when I see one, I can tolerate everything about them. But I [I]won't feed one again[/I]. Last time I did, I was like 6, [B]and the fucker tried to bite my shoulder off[/B]. Never again.[/QUOTE] How isn't fear of heights rational? I mean come on it's fucking high
worms :v:
People entering my home. Hipsters.
Didn't we have the exact thread some months ago? Anyways: - great heights - paranormal activitys - cockroaches - being on a ship that's far far away from the port - dying alone
I have a fear of Scarabix disapproving of my phobia.
Gore on TV and in Movies I don't mind gore in real life, but when its on a movie or a show it makes me freak out.

God damn I hate these fuckers.

[QUOTE=Scarabix;37317655] No you don't and I think I know better than you what you fear and what you don't, don't give me that look [B]>:C[/B][/QUOTE] I disagree with that statement.
Chavs (sorta worn off nowadays though) Spiders Beetles Insects in general and sometimes if something's unusual, I might link it to a fatal scenario, such as the car conks out and you think it'll explode or something
I'm 23 years old, I have survived through hell and back in some backwater, desert country, I have [B]KILLED[/B] at least 8 men, each one of them wanted me dead just because of where I lived, and I watched one of my friends die in front of me. None of this frightens me... but I'm still afraid of the dark.

Personally I have a number of different fears; some pedestrian, some kind of nerdy, and some of which are existential. Most of the time they aren't a problem, but other times they truly trouble me. One of my pedestrian fears comes around when I am alone in the house at night and there are sounds, when there is no-one in the house other than myself, and I hear noises that I think come from within the house. During the first few days of being "home alone", I have paranoid fears of someone dangerous breaking and entering, though I can calm my fears by checking everywhere and locking any easily-accessible doors and windows; windows on the top floor can stay open if it's hot, since if someone came in through those entrances they'd have to have the right equipment, and to the best of my knowledge there are no organised criminals in Carshalton, just like there are no centaurs in Oxford. Sometimes when it's dark and I have to go through the dark, my mind presents fears of non-pedestrian threats aka "monsters", manifest as a sense of being followed or watched; likely just a remnant of human survival instinct and primal fears of the nocturnal predators that hunted our ancestors on the prehistoric plains of Africa. A nerdy fear of mine is for the welfare of my computer and online assets, which is pretty much the majority of my life and time; fears of catching a virus, forgetting passwords, losing valuable information, faulty parts breaking down, these things cause far greater anxieties to me than the threat of someone/something attacking me in my bed or the dark, which may seem strange though for me a corrupted hard-drive is more relatable to me than some chav ransacking my house and shivving me in the guts when I come down to investigate the ruckus with a piece of cutlery in one hand and a flashlight in the other, since like I said before "there are no centaurs in Oxford". I'm sure some of you here sometimes fear a virus getting past your firewalls or your motherboard getting heat damage from a faulty cooling system? Speaking of which, should I consider getting a water-cooling system for my machine or should I stick with the traditional fan and heatsink hardware? For my existential fear, I of course fear death. The notion of my consciousness being essentially annihilated when my brain ceases to function properly absolutely terrifies me; I fear that it is nothing like sleep at all, which is why I hope against hope for a technology that allows the preservation of consciousness to arrive some time this century, hopefully during the early half so I don't experience too much of the decline of mind and body that comes with old age as my DNA starts breaking down, producing errors and system failures in its wake, wreaking havoc with my vitality and sanity. I guess you could say that I also fear old age, since everything starts breaking down as you get older, some errors occurring earlier than others, and I seek to escape the horrific decline sooner rather than later, so that I can retain my sanity and intellect as some sort of well-preserved brain-in-a-jar like a guest of the Mi-go, or even some sort of intelligent "ghost" comprised of exotic matter like the Gestalts/Shades from Nier. Other theoretical methods of immortality aren't really true immortality in my eyes; uploading the contents of one's mind to a new vessel is essentially mental copypasta, where my consciousness remains with my old body whilst a copy of me, a "Replicant" if you will, struts around thinking he's me, which i'm somewhat ok with so long as I manage to stay alive and he recognizes that he is his own person with his own story to be written, not to stuck in the shadow of the one he was derived from. For me, the only acceptable immortality, since it's the only real immortality, is where my consciousness remains intact after removal from the body, and hopefully the new form, be it brain in a jar or exotic matter ghost, doesn't deteriorate as readily as it would in a normal meatbag; hopefully the jar would be filled with restorative fluid, or any potential metaphysical degradation in my ghostly form is repaired or at least stabilized by an extraordinarily charismatic Shadowlord with the unique "demonic element" that prevents the ghosts from "relapsing" and losing their sanity. Anyways those are a few of my close fears.
Heights when I'm able to look down. Planes are fine, rock climbing walls I get half way up and nope back down.

Mirrors in the dark, and water in the dark both creep me the fuck out. This old house, the entire fucking wall was a big god damned mirror, holy shit you have no idea how creepy it was to get up and take a piss at night.
Apparently mirrors in a dream are a big old pile of nope in regards to dream-exploration.
