Everyone has that one fear that they would rather hide from the world for whatever reason. What is yours.

For example, my worst fear is being in a dark room with a mirror. If I am anywhere near a mirror when the room is dark, I am either reaching for the light switch or running out of the room. Even going to the bathroom at night, I have to reach a hand in and turn on the light before I go in. I also had a serious panic attack when I thought I had to sleep in a room with mirrors on every side of the bed but where the window was, and my voice went up a full octave when the power went out while I was going to the bathroom. Yes, the reason for it is directly linked to the Bloody MAry legend...which is still embarrassing that it frightens me at the age of 19.

Needles. People think I'm a wuss.

Sorry not as long as your post but mine is kinda self-explanatory.

I'm deathly afraid of elevators. To the point where I'd rather take the stairs up ten floors than ride in one. I get odd looks when I go to the stairway and I'm on the tenth floor of a building.

Afraid of heights, just cant stand not being on the ground which makes elevators hard to face sometimes.

As long as you're not playing guitar using your eye-socket, you should be fine...

I can't sleep in a room where I know there's insects. Mosquitoes in particular.

Greatest fear would forced surgery while concious/unanesthetized, amputation being one of the highest-fear options. Most embarrassing, well if it's embarrassing, why do you think I'd blurt it out for yet another damn list thread? Gotta do better than that to get me to admit to embarrassing things.

That actually happened to my grandfather.

I'm afraid of touching bugs. I have no problem being around bugs, but touching them gives me the creeps.

Ever since seeing Stephen King's IT when I was a kid Ive hated clowns. Always have. Always will.
Also I hate spiders. They should all be killed with fire. And if they ever find a fire-proof spider, I will kill myself before it gets a chance to.

Lumberjacks. They've always scared the living hell out of me, and I'm sure they are quite nice people. I just...they're so manly. And they have huge axes. And they can destroy trees. And I'm pretty sure that they can shoot lasers out of their eyes and shatter eardrums with their loud yells of "TIMBER".

Mine's a two-parter...I have recurring nightmares about honey and being sticky. In my awful, awful nightmare, I'm on the 10m board, getting ready to dive, I look down, see glorious blue water, I look up, finish the dive sequence, and as I'm pulling off a beautiful swan dive, the water turns to honey. I hit the honey at terminal velocity, sink 10ft deep, slowly surface, remove myself from the pool only to find myself sticky from head to toe...AAAAAGGGGHHHHH, IT'S JUST SO AWFUL!!!

Beat that escapists!!!

I'm still afraid of the dark actually. Whenever I go somewhere dark in my house, especially my basement, I have to turn on the lights as fast as possible making the least amount of noise possible.

After playing first person horror games, I cannot be in a completely dark room. My shooter instincts kick in, and I'm expecting zombies to pop out from behind a corner and try to kick my ass. I gave my brother a black eye when he snuck up on me in the dark. Got grounded for a month after that...

When I was younger, I was afraid of Bees/wasps and being home alone. I've mostly conquered both, although I am slightly scared amongst bees and cautious when home alone.

Gerald scares me. His adorability may cause a quantum singularity and we would all have to suffer in a transwarp field

Eeek!

........I have that fear, too....Except, with cello strings.

I'm also rather fearful of talking to people I don't know- I'm incredibly shy in real life...

I actually saw the movie "Aliens" at a very young age, which really made an impact on me.

For about 6 months, I believed that an alien was in my closet. And one day, it was going to use its little mouth to get me in my sleep.

My most embarrassing fear is I'm afraid someone is always going to start following me when I walk up the stairs at night. I don't know why but because of it i have to take off running up the stairs, fallen face first a few times.

Don't worry about it man. Because they're metal, they have extremely low elasticity, it can't happen with guitar strings. I've snapped loads, they just curl up, not too fast that they'll whip you or anything. Trust me.

Needles are one of my fears. I'd rather be stabbed. But that's quite common.

My strange fear, however, is plants.

I can't explain it at all.

I'm not SCARED of clowns per say, but the way they're always smiling just creeps me out.

Stick Insects.

I'm fine with any other insect, but Stick Insects scare the crap out of me.

Also I find I'm a tiny bit apprehensious about Geese, since I was attacked by one when I was but a wee little Ninja.

Gerald says he's a bit scared of the prospect of a quantum singularity.

I've met a guy scared of roads. Not just driving, but roads.

And... well.. I... i'm terrified of butterflies.

That's right. Butterflies. They just freak me out, coming towards you, like some fluttery little machine of terror.

You can shut up, alright, shut right up.

That my upper torsos attachment to my spine will weaken enough that it falls off. It is not a fear so much as a recurring fantasy but it is still freaky.
