I am deathly afraid of leeches.
I have no other fears... really.
But if I see a leech on TV I get so scared I retch.

This comes from when I was fishing with my father, and he used this little air pump with a needle in it to pump air into his bait.He told me to get out the container of worms, and instead I grabbed the larger bowl of leeches. I stuck my whole hand in not knowing they were leeches. I passed out from shock, and soon after my dad's friend had a son named Shannon. He held me down and ate leeches while pinning my arms down and holding my eyes open.

I saw them sucking the blood from his cheeks, and then as he bit into them the blood coming out of them...it dripped on my face.

I am literally not scared of anything else...for real.I kinda bug out with ticks, or other parasites- but I don't retch/cry/scream/hide like with leeches.

I know exactly what you mean, that fear is basicly the centre of my existence and the source of my constant inner turmoil, the sole reason why i live and why i will die...

But yeah, i hate spiders too, nasty, demon spawned, wretches...

LOL

now, now, you couldn't possibly be as naughty as Jonah?

I am terrified of: the house of cards we call a global economy and what happens when it tumbles; the nonsense we call govt in most of Europe and NA at the moment; hatred of all kinds.

I am irrationally terrified of: too many people too close, heights, and bees. I had a spell of being completely frozen terrified of bridges, but it was only one summer. Came and went without invitation or explanation.

I have terrible automatonophobia; fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsely represents a sentient being. Mine in particular doesn't apply to ALL types of dolls/puppets/etc, but most of them freak me out. For example, I never had a problem with Barbies, but don't let me anywhere around an American Girl store. Unless they're moving, mannequins don't faze me. But...I can't be in the same room as a Chucky doll. And I can't touch it. The "sentient being" part only applies to those that are humanoid. Any doll, puppet, animatronic that represents an animal doesn't freak me out.

I'm also very pyrophobic. I can't, and have never, used a handheld Bic lighter. The last time I used a match, I was about nine years old...and it dropped onto my bare leg. I'll go to a bonfire but if I get downwind from it at all, I get very uncomfortable. One of my biggest fears is my house burning down. I'm not even 100% comfortable with the idea of cremation after I die.

Oddly, I'm not afraid of death or dying as such, though slow and painful, yeah. Very afraid. I'm afraid my illnesses will make me suffer badly down the road, though there's no reason to believe they will. Well, different stats say different things.

Fear of snakes is one of those hardwired things in your brain, though clearly not everyone has the same version. I've had a snake as a pet and loved playing with it, and I dated a guy maaaaaaaaaaaaany years ago who had big snakes. Still, nothing at all to be ashamed of there. My bee thing is much more stupid, lol

Wow, thank you for putting a word to my fear, puppets and stuff like that scare the crap out of me, the closer they are to looking human, the worse it is, if it s an animal i don't care, but i just get so freaked out about puppets/robots/dolls/mannequins anything which tries to look human...

my 3 biggest fears being forgotten after i die, not knowing for sure what awaits me after death, and failing to live up to the standards i have for myself.

nawww, what a jerk *HUGZ*

Teachers really have no idea sometimes, if they have such a problem, address it in private with the student, don't make an example, that helps no one.

God i don't miss school, or regret not going to uni, all that stuff sucks
