Do you have any phobias or irrational fears? Like maybe you're afraid of the dark, or afraid of clowns, snakes, spiders (well, not as irrational if they are dangerous), etc. Honestly, I'm a baby when it comes to insects and spiders. idk what it is, maybe the fact they go into the dirtiest and nastiest places, so maybe it's just how disgusting they are. As a kid I was scared of the dark, but I grew out of that when I started to prefer going to bed in pitch darkness. As long as I have sound, I can sleep like a baby. I don't like when it's too quiet, hate hearing my own heartbeat or breathing, so a fan. I've tried listening to

Other than that, I have your typical phobias of going to the doctors, or the dentist. What about you though? I understand if you don't want to share all of them. I haven't told some of my friends my phobias because I don't want to risk them doing pranks on me involving mine.

Is this you? sanaalathanlaugh



Haha might as well be. Afraid to admit it, but I've freaked out over spiders before.
Katsaridaphobia, which makes no sense kinda because I don't fear spiders, wasps, bees, or any other insect really, just them. At times I overcome this fear but man it kicks my ass
For me, it's just the gross factor, and with spiders, I always fear they are going to be poisonous and cause some gross infection. Like what wolf spiders are capable of doing. Dude I know got bit by one, and it literally ate a hole in his arm. So whenever I see anything remotely similar to a wolf spider, I freak. I'll be fine if it's outside and away from me, but if I'm cornered, dude, I'm done for. I've had nightmares where I would be walking through an old ass basement and I'd be walking through webs full of wolf spiders, no thanks!

I absolutely hate black water. I'm not swimming at night. Pure and simple.
I swam in a pool at night a few times, only time I ever would, would be in a pool where I know my surroundings. No chance I'm jumping into a lake or the ocean at night. Heard of too many people going out for night swims and never coming back.
