    I can't go up on tall ladders. anything past 6 feet and I will not do it.

    Public speaking, but I'm getting better on that.

    8 inch action figures scare the life out of me


    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

      I am not afraid of knifes but I am afraid of Blades like table saws and pizza cutters. I won't touch those things and don't like being around them.

      Deep water for me too -- I cannot swim, if I can stand I am fine.

        I'm not crazy about deep water either ....

        I can swim

        But when I stay still in the water, I sink like a rock.

          commitment, other than my wife, I'm really bad at making plans with people. Especially new people...

          Heights- I tried out for the fire fighters once, when I had to cross the street over a ladder I discovered my fear. Just got a shiver.

            I have a fear of falling. Not of heights, mind you, but the falling scares the poop out of me. I have a lot of trouble with the first hill of a rollercoaster and I cannot go on those rides that simply take you up and drop you.

            BTW, have you ever heard of Pediophobia. Its the fear of dolls, I wonder if there is a more specific word for the fear of action figures.

              I have an irrational fear of flying.

              My father worked and retired from Delta for 35 years. I also worked for an airline for several years during college. I'd flown many times with no big deals. However, around the age of 25 or so I started having night terrors about plane crashes. Either I was on one going down or I was a witness to a crash. Ever since, it's hard to get me on a plane, but I'll do it if absolutely necessary. I no longer have those dreams, but they left me a bit scarred. I just take a change of underwear in my carry-on bag.

              I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

              If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                Snakes!!!! they literaly paralyze me with fear....no matter what size. There was once a gartter snake about six inches long curled up on the door step of my house.....and I was trapped. I had to call a friend over to get it off....the little *******. (the snake, not my friend)

                I have recently been attending the Zoo to help me get over my phobia but that damn albino cobra is seriuosly putting the brakes on my recovery.

                  I'm afraid of heights, for sure, especially if there's no railing or the railing is too low. I don't like centipedes, but it's more of a dislike than a fear.

                    I don't like clowns. I am not afraid of them, but I have some instinctive dislike that makes me want to attack them. Specifically, Carnival, street, and party clowns. Rodeo clowns don't bother me, and I really like Cirque du Soliel been to 3 shows, no problem. Party clowns?? Attack.

                      As a kid, ventriloquist dummies used to creap me out.

                      I think those few dummy Twilight Zones was the cause

                      I also used to be afraid of store mannequins.

                        I have a fear of public speaking, like making a speech or something. My heart starts beating much faster and my hands get clammy right before I have to go up and present it. It's kind of like what happens during the last seconds of an ebay auction I desperately want. I just hate the idea of everyone looking at me.

                            I can safely say yes, that would make people look at you.

                              Nothing that I would describe as a phobia but many of the things mentioned I don't really care for either but am not really scared per se.

                              I can completely relate to the public speaking fear which I believe is considered the #1 fear. I used to get really nervous before an important speech and the thought of appearing nervous even made me more nervous.

                              I took a Dale Carnegie class about 12 years ago and that helped. Now I do so many presentations it really doesn't bother me...a twinge of nervousness but nothing out of the ordinary.

                              I haven't given a speech to a real large group like 200 people or more but I would imagine that might create a bit of a nervousness.

                                heights ... if over like 20 feet.

                                Flying ... I've never been on a plane and doubt I ever will. Good thing I like road trips

                                but #1 is Bats ... I hate bats, most of the fear of them comes from the fact a small % of them have rabies. The fact they fly like their's something wrong with them even when normal just makes me think they all have something wrong with them lol. I have no problem if they are on TV or if I know they can get me ... last night I saw one flying around out side ... it was fun to watch, but if someone would have opened the door I would have freaked.
