Hey ya'll!

I guess just discuss fears. Yeah. ^^ That's what the title says, afterall. ><

myrmecophobia-fear of ants.

Nyctophobia-fear of the dark.

Scelerophobia-fear of crime and intruders.



So uh,, yeah. Those are my fears! Share your own! <3

If this topic isn't allowed just delete it, I suppose. I wouldn't see why it wouldn't not be allowed but who I am to say?

I don't like heights but I wouldn't call it a fear of mine. I think flying on planes several times has made me better with it. It's really the falling part that makes me scared of it though.

I find being scared of the dark to be completely fine and realistic. And not just because I too have a fear of the dark. c:

I also forgot but I have a minor fear of needles and holes. They just aren't as bad as like,, ants or the dark, so again, I wouldn't call it a phobia.

The only thing that I'd consider and actual phobia is my fear of small spaces/claustrophobia. Thankfully it doesn't really affect me as I never really have to go in small spaces, but I'll read book about people crawling through tunnels that progressively get smaller with water floading the tunnels behind them & I get so stressed lol.

Also, lately I've been kind of afraid of like.... Doing something horrible to my body / messing it up/hurting it permanently? Like twisting my knee or dislocating it or something, idk. I haven't dislocated it for like a month & I know I'm being careful so I'm not as worried anymore, but every now and then my knee starts hurting and I get worried that it's never gonna go away

I have none of the typical fears. I only fear disappointing of hurting those I care about.

Though, I also have a fear of tyrannical rule, even in daily things. I don’t fear authority, I respect it, I just fear those who feel they should control everything. I’m very rebellious when it comes to people like that.
