    I live in Western MA and there are black bears everywhere. They are huge and fast. They scare me.

    Bees...must be a childhood thing. I am 6'1", 220 and bees scare me. Go figure.

    Flying...I do it, but I never feel comfortable.

    Sharks...they are sharks.

    Hey, who knows...its hanging over, someone wants to pull you under the bed and eat ya or something.....who knows...boogie man? I watched too many scary movies as a kid.

    Flannel Shirt, your location does explain the bears... well bees, a lot of people are afraid if them. Sharks, well if I was in the water and I saw a shark I'd be afraid too...

    There were three rooms in my grandmother's house, one with a big closet with green windows in it... my nephew, my brother (both older than me) and we watched some scary movies one night when grandma was away... my brother and nephew said monster or something lived in those closet and would come to get me. Two years ago when I grandma died and we had to sell the house ... and we're were emptying the house I came in that room and saw that closet, still gave me the creeps.

    - Spiders is a phobia...NEVER try to have fun with me by threatening me with a spider..you'll get seriously hurt! Just thinking about it my flight or fight instinct kicks in (and I'm not much of a runner :))
    Can't say I'm keen on any insects though so I wouldn't advice to try with them either
    - Being physically constrained (straightjacket would make me mad).

    I'm sorry to say for people afraid of their parents dying: it's going to happen, no point in thinking about it but it will, sooner than anyone else you love if things are right..
    Don't have children yet but that is something I'd be terrified of, them dying, or even simply getting hurt.

    Hmmm, old thread. was gonna start my own. Turns out the search on this actually works sometimes.

    I've been terrified of dogs since I was a small child. In particular small ones like Jack Russels. If they bark at all I'll run a mile. Although lately I've been getting a bit better.

    Sharks, big bodies of water like lakes/oceans. I don't speak that big-body-of-water language, and I think it is a language to learn.
    Inability to communicate i.e., needing to find a train in a country where I don't speak the language, and I'm not near a train.
    Heart surgery as an adult. Even just getting tired too easily would scare me.
    People who like to hurt others.
    As posted on another thread I guess I am afraid to die.

    I was afraid of knives, but I attended pastry school, and that helped lesson the fear.

    I'm very bashful in the dating scene, and I don't know why. I'm assuming it
    has to do with some sort of fear.

    I was afraid of dogs/cats, but we had the best dog, Ricky, growing up. Also, my twin has the cutest dogs, and a cat that head-butts my back for attention. I've gotten over that fear a bit because I know them.

    alzheimer's. other things can creep me out and make me uneasy, but this is the one thought i cannot cope with... the possibility of getting that disease terrifies me. i will check myself out the day they diagnose me.

    The monsters under the bed that wants to grab my feet, so they have to be wrapped up tight, no matter how hot it is.

    One of my kids will get a serious mental illness and have to be institutionalized.

    Heights..at the grand canyon i dont go near the edge.
    on a roof of a house im cool except on and off the ladder is a bitch.
    planes, i have flown but didnt relax much at all.
    and when the pilot turned in a leaning fashion to find the airport, wow.
    F that noise.

    Sharks..i dream about being ate by sharks quite a bit.

    Bigfoot..i live in the NW, if im out hikin thru the forests bigfoots comes to
    mind, that and cougars.
    which ive seen a flash run down a tree and leap into the air from about
    15 ft off the fern covered ground.
    possibly one bad ass cougar, or a bobcat.
    either way, it was freaky.

    mostly ppl give me fear.

    Getting old

    But don't you think that's less scary than dying young?

    Nope. I'd much rather die young. I see old people walking across the street not bothering to look for cars, losing their faculties...basically just losing their mind. I don't want to be that way. I guess that's a bit selfish but....that's how i feel.

    im with you on that one. thus my fear of alzheimer's. id rather go down in my prime than dissolve and become a pathetic shell of who i was. nobody dies with dignity anymore. and who do we remember? james dean, jim morrison, buddy holly, etc.

    yeah, exactly. Give me a 30-35 year old death give or take a few years. my parents are in their mid-fifties and starting to look and feel old. i don't even want to feel old :) i realize if you take care of your body you can prolong aging but no matter what it's a losing battle.

    Want to know something really sad and weird? My 2nd fear came true. My son became suicidal and had to go to a psychiatric hospital for 2 weeks. He's much better now.

    But I just found this post and re-read it and thought....hey, I lived through it, and we all came out okay. But I'm still covering up my feet.

    fear of drowning.....
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    don't get me wrong. I don't like them....especially spiders. I'm a big fan of "catch & release". Spiders eat other bugs so I'm ok with them. I just don't want them crawling on me. I will scream like a 10yr old girl.

    Public speaking

    ...and the funny thing is that is only a recent fear. I used to be able to do it with no problem and i actually liked it. But now I go to great lengths to avoid it.
