Getting my eyes poked out. I hate looking at hooks or nails on walls. I don’t mind antlers on walls unless they are eyeball level. I also usually walk in the dark with my eyes closed because I’m afraid of walking into something and getting my eyes poked out lol.

I have this exact fear. I can be driving (passenger) in a car, drive past some wooded area or bushes and have to close my eyes, like no if's or and's, I get the sensation that if a piece of wood ever got in my eye, i'd probably go blind. This is not the case, but it is very real in the time.

I'm 30 years old and can't walk through a dark room by myself. I will run like I am being chased by a killer on the loose! In darkness my brain immediately starts thinking of scary stuff like evil creatures I can't see, dead people I am about to trip over, etc. It's so irrational and I am 100% aware of that fact but it still spooks me to be in complete darkness alone. When I saw It the movie I slept with the light on for two weeks. It has gotten better since my boyfriend moved in though. He is aware of it and doesn't make fun of me lol.

Lately I have been irrationally afraid of our first dog dying. She is still young, only 4 years and in good health. But for some reason it got in my head that she is going to die and everytime that she is a bit nappy or not as "puppy like" as she was (or as her younger sister is) I feel that she is ill and will die.

Being buried - I have a definitive section in my will (and have informed everyone I know and love), that after I die, I am to be taken to the local crematorium and burned. Following that all of my friends and family will be told of my death and will be given a time and place (probably a hotel / pub, where money will be behind the bar and food provided) where they can party and talk to their hearts content about me or anything that is relevant and interesting.
Burial gives me the w*****s.....

I can't stand anything around my head/face. I can't wear chokers or earmuffs. And if a shirt is up around my neck I freak out, like I will rip it off. My 1st cruise, we're all doing the safety thing and the purser had to come tell my husband I didn't have to put the life vest over my head. I was hyperventilating trying to do it. Damn near passed out. Purser said I could just float on it LOL!

Doors that swing toward me. Absolutely terrified of them, like full blown panic attack terror. I cannot open them. If a building has a door that swings toward me to enter and no one is with me I leave. I have a valid reason for this though. A few years ago I was in an old building working and we had to use the stairs. The exit door on the 1st floor was stuck so we were pulling on it for what seemed like ages. When it finally broke free it swung back at me hitting me so hard it broke three vertebrae and herniated the discs in my neck.

I am scared to death of butterflies. I know its a pointless fear. I know they are harmless. I went to a butterfly tent when I was 7 years old (pre-butterfly fear) and the next thing I know I was covered in about 100 of them. I've been afraid ever since.

Actually, animals I guess!
Not really a fear, but animals are unpredictable. Humans can be very predictable, but animals like cats or dogs even are not to me.
My friends with cats and dogs tend to make fun of me when I jump because their pet pounced on me, or I am super high-strung and even a slight “meow” or click will scare me.
I have a gecko, and she is even worse with that. She loves to jump on my arms and crawl along my back, but I can never feel where she is (seeing as she is only about 5 months old).

Escalators. I don't mind the smaller ones in shopping malls, but I'm absolutely terrified by the long ones in subways. Some of them, you can't even clearly see where they end. Many of them are really fast too. My fear of heights doesn't really add up to it. Whenever I have to use them, I close my eyes and tremble all the way up/down, praying that I don't trip, lose my balance and fall over, etc.

I flinch. At like, everything. Cocking a nerf gun? Yeah, that counts. Notification from my phone? Sure, why not. Also I'm afraid of my own hearing because even though the tests say I'm average, i can hear conversations through the wall very well and am afraid i may hear something i shouldn’t. Don’t forget my irrational fear of being sexually assaulted while sleeping. (Thanks, Gavin.) Did i mention my fear of falling, getting kicked in the balls (thanks, 7th grade.) being blackmailed, being framed or breaking something within arm’s reach? Couldnt hurt to add that. Oh, and who could forget the most annoying two: Mu fear of heights and my fear of farting in a large room.
