Cockroaches (Yup... I really find them disgusting, I can't even get near them.)
The Dark (Don't make fun of me!)
Dying (Of course.)
Those are all I can think of right now.



1: Agreed.

2: You're 13, we'll forgive you.

3: I never got this fear of dying that people seem to have...

1. *Shakes head in deep agreement*

2.

3. Why wouldn't you be afraid of dying? You don't really know what is going to happen to you and how it really is after death.

No phobias... slightly paranoid and maybe a tad socially anxious but that's about it

What does socially anxious mean? You have a hard time talking to people?

There's a bit more to it than that. But that is along the lines of it

Mostly two:

Spheksophobia (fear of wasps) - When I was a little kid, we had a nest of tarantula hawks hornets in our garden and I got bitten by four of them before we knew they were there. Tarantula hawks stings are amongst the most painful in all the world (second only to the bullet ants stings), so I still remember the pain vividly to this day.

Acrophobia (fear of heights) - I suffer from a mild-to-severe case of vertigo which becomes rather proeminent whenever heights reach a large amount. Last summer I went camping with a couple of friends and my GF and we went trail-blazing through some rocky paths with very large jumps and falls....it took all my mental strength to get through them and that left me more exhausted than the actual jumping and walking about.

Wait, you were going to jump off of a mountain yet you have a major fear of heights?

I hate centipedes or anything else with an amount of legs in double digits. Creeps me the fuck out. Or big, fast-moving insects like cockroaches or big spiders. The fear is totally irrational but I just can't help it.

Edit: Oh and seeing big rocks under water while I'm in it or touching big rocks under water with my feet. This one is weird, I find it terrifying for some reason.


OMG i'm not the only one in the world who has that fear. The most horrifying thing i could think of would be swimming above a giant ship wreck. For example the water wouldn't be that deep, like 30 meters and you could see the contours of the ship through the water, only resembling a giant dark shadow below you. Since it would be so big that you couldn't swim away from it that easily and the fear of touching it with your feet (for example it's pylon or something else), i would totally make use of a gun if i had one with me. *shivers*

Jump off a mountain is a big exaggeration . Just between rocks separated by a couple of meters (though with a semi-large cliff on the left side). 

The fear is psychological. With a lot of mental control you can temporarily overcome it in cases of need. My problem was mostly getting through the vertigo, since that's actually what really scares me the most, for it throws my balance and my equilibrium to shit whenever I'm in such a situation.
