My biggest phobia is unsecured heights. I go climbing all the time and the height doesn't bother me, but standing on a cliff gives me vertigo like nothing else.
I can crawl around for hours in the catwalk in the theatre knowing full well that if I step in the wrong place or lose my balance, the plaster ceiling will probably not hold my weight.
Yet climbing the ladder to the lightbar which is the same height starts me shaking and sweating.

My only explanation is that if I feel like it is likely that I can fall, that's when I freak.

Biggest fear? Dunno...

Lets see... I fear that I'm losing my mind... I don't remember typing that last post, and I don't remember signing up as Jzero... but that describes me perfectly.

Biggest fear though would be to suddenly lose intelligence.

And another phobia.... meat slicers. They all are possessed by demons that want blood sacrifices.

You may not want to read the Stephen King short story "The Mangler" then. 😀
 
2 fears.

1. I don't have a fear of drowning for anything about the water. But I do have a fear that I might go under water and all of a sudden a something like a sheet of glass will cover the entire top of the pool or lake right at the surface and I can see the ski but can't get through to breath.

2. Traveling beside 18-wheelers while going under an overpass. I always picture them smashing into the overpass then causing me to get into a huge accident. Only on the Interstate though.

Oh, and I have an irrational fear of a spider laying eggs in my ear, and then the eggs hatching while Im asleep, so I wake up with thousands of baby spiders crawling out of my ear.

"AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

runs around room screaming like a little girl!
