What ae you afraid of?

I was trying to find something under my couch and a tiny spider came out. It made me jump! Why is it that something so small can make me feel so nervous? It crawled back under the couch. I am sitting on it now and I keep thinking it is going to come crawl on me!!

Another thing I am afraid of is bats!!! I had an encounter with one a couple of times and I was the most scared I have ever been in my life!

What is it that you are scared of or makes you jump?

Spiders! I found a baby one on me the other day when I was typing and I freaked out and killed it when I jumped.

Bees, wasps, and hornets.

I am not allergic, just TERRIFIED of them, and will run screaming from them. For some strange reason, they seem to know this, and will go out of their way to buzz in a circle around me.

Probably cooties of any kind meaning bugs, snakes, scorpions, Tarantulas, and heights and water

Well, I'm afraid of heights so certainly no jumping there.

It's not a phobia, but it really sets me on edge when I hear unexpected noises. Like doors slamming when I'm the only one home, I generally jump in my seat at that.

Oh I know the feeling! I didn't even think of that! I will run from them too! I almost cry when no matter what you do to get away from them, they just keep buzzing around you! So I completely understand!

I completely hate being home alone at night time! I get nervous at every noise that I hear!

I didn't realize I was so afraid of so many things until I started reading everyone else's posts!

I hate most categories of bugs. And here we have a lot of them, BIG ones!!

I hate spiders, although I will suck them up in my dust buster if provoked. I don't like the crickets I get in the basement, bees, hornets, wasps, and other stinging insects. I've never even seen a bat in person but if I did I would freak. Snakes are another fraidy thing for me and I also don't like heights. There I think that's all of em..

I dont particularly like bugs, but I'm not afraid of them. I do jump if one is on me and I dont know about it

Most of all, I'm afraid of heights - I go all wierd inside and it feels like my inners are falling out not nice

I know, it's almost funny if it wasn't so scary.

Here I am, this little but tough, Harley-riding biker chick, not afraid of much of anything (bring it on, world,) and along comes a 1 inch long yellow jacket, and I completely lose my mind and turn into a terrified whimpering mess of a big baby.

I was thinking nothing until I just found this unknown bug around the litter box. EWWWW I don't like bugs especially small ones.

water, bugs, snakes, mice....all the typical creepy stuff.

Snakes, I am absolutely scared to death of snakes.

LOL It's always funny when it isn't actually happening at the moment! I picture myself running like crazy from a yellow jacket and burst out laughing. But if one came buzzing by me now I would be running like wild!

mice-can't deal with mice!~

sharks, I am absolutely petrified of them... but you wanna know anything about 'em and I probably know it I watch shark week on Discovery every year- who says education is the key to overcoming fear???

At least with sharks, you know where not to go.

Moths and butterflies. *shudder* They always seem to gravitate towards me as well, like they can sense my fear. *shudders again*

Most bugs, they just make me gag......Im not like deathly afraid but they are just nasty. Heights/clostrophobia? Those 2 are something I am afraid of!! Oh yeah, and death. I absilutely hate the thought of DYING!! Or even losing a loved one....(fur babies included)
