I think I should mention that I used to be deathly afraid of thunderstorms. Like, you know that lightening you see in the distance, usually in the Summer? I would see one flash of lightening, then I'd run and lay down scared. Also, heights, but a lot of people don't like heights.

surgeries and IVs scare the hell out of me but that's not surprising. used to have a fear of insects in general, dont really anymore.

I thought I posted last night? Oh well.

Corners are what scare me. I am very afraid of corners and doors open behind me. Any noise from around a corner or behind me will make me jump and look and try to ascertain(??) what it was. Now, take light out of the picture, and I will not even BLINK without somebody else near me.

One time I was at my dads house, and needed to get my contacts out of the bathroom. Well, the bathroom is upstairs, and the lights were all off up there, so it was all creepy just looking up. I tried going up myself, and just turn on the stairs light and the hall light, but when I looked into my bedroom or down the hall into my dad's room it was just pitch black and scary as all geddup, so I run downstairs, into the computer room where my little brother is playing WoW, and demand he goes upstairs ahead of me and keeps guard while I grab my contacts and rush down stairs again. Sure, grabbing my contacts and fleeing only took 3 seconds, but I just couldn't do it because of the air of oppressiveness and fear up there. :( :( :(

I don't believe you one bit. It sounds like you mentioned that only because Bob mentioned water/sea.

Hey now, what. I am also really creeped out by deep-sea critters. Whenever I see, like, lobsters or prawns and shit in those huge tanks in fish stores/chinese restaurants and shit, a massive tingle always runs up my spine. Is it their beady eyes? Their weird little pincers? Hell if I know, but the genuinely creep the shit out of me.

I am phobic of vomit.  Since I live in a college town, I have to deal with it all the time.  It's so ridiculous how much puke is always on the sidewalk or on my car or something and seeing vomit makes me shiver.

I am also phobic of groups of young men walking around together.  This is because I was savagely mugged by a group of teenagers and now I am always afraid that groups of teenagers will beat me up with a baseball bat again.  The muggers were black and I am not sure if I am especially afraid of black teenagers or not.

'Jesus, that picture of the little girl IS creepy.

But besides that, people I see walking alone in the dark freak me out. Or, walking alone at night outside on the streets, when I'm driving by.

"...WHAT IS HE DOING OUT HERE???"
People driving by when I'm walking alone at night outside in the streets... if you get my drift. Seriously, unidentifiable car drivers are scary as hell. Please stop doing that.

In other news, I don't so much have phobias, I'm just an all-round easily frightened person. Generally, all my fears fall into the "I'd really rather not get eaten, please" range. I'm afraid of stalkers, hungry lions and similar predators, dangerous criminals, poisonous animals, unsafe heights, very turbulent water and brandished weapons, to name a few.

At first I thought you meant like you were afraid of CORNERS like it's bad feng shui or something

Even knowing it's fake, this is probably the scariest thing I've ever seen on youtube.
Things like this, conspiracies or whatever, things that just SHOULDNT BE POSSIBLE are very scary to me.

Mostly what freaks me out is the undersea. Its a whole different world down there, one that we were not meant to experience or survive in, and the terrain and environment is so alien to the modern human that it might as well be a different planet. Not to mention all the goobaly woobaly tentacular things that exist down there...

I really don't like millipedes either.

water i can't see the bottom of, i'm like a fucking dog. even in video games it creeps me, something could come out of no where and swallow me alive or bite me and half, or just plain drag me down a thousand feet to the bottom of the ocean.

I figured I'd elaborate on my fears a bit more than just listing them.  My fear of water stems beyond "I can't swim, if I can't touch bottom I panic", but an all out phobia of deep water.

As some of you may remember from the death topic a while back, I have nearly drowned about 6 times in my life, and so I'm afraid of water and can't be taught to swim.  If the water is higher than my armpits I freak out (so...  5' deep water I panic), and there are some game I can't beat because of this fear.  I'll list some I can recall right away.

Seriously, the last person to attempt to teach me to swim told me I have an irrational fear of deep water, and that I need to get over it.  Theres a reason I can't get over the fear, it's an IRRATIONAL fear

im actually creeped out by deep water too, but it needs to be a VERY SPECIFIC TYPE. its actually deep water with sheer walls. only three games have done this that ive played, and i havent come across it in real life yet so idk how id react to it there:

- that bit in Oblivion thejackyl said, the giant slaughterfish is at the bottom of a very long well like drop
- WoW's oceans suddenly BOTTOM OUT when you get far out to sea, that creeps me out
- i found this one yesterday: the edge of the map in Garry's Mod Flatgrass2008 map. literally sheer drop with no visiblity in the water, i BRAVED MY FEARS tho and found the bottom is only like 5 seconds swim away.

good times.

I can play games with deep water, it's just I have a really bad feeling of unease when I enter those area.  In fact, I have played most of those games past the deep water areas, but I still feel uneasy about playing those area.

Oh, another game that freaks me out: Half-Life, the multiple underwater areas that contain those shark-mutant things, that make a weird noise when they charge...those things make me hate the underwater areas in that game.
