Very deep water. I am a decent swimmer & I love the ocean and the beach, I like snorkling around a reef and stuff but as soon as the bottom drops off, I am out of there. We are virtually helpless in the water. I don't like that everything living beneath me in the water wants to eat me. You can't evade predators, you can breath, you can't fight effectively. Screw that.Comment

I border between #2 & #4. Take meds for both.
4. Agoraphobia: Agoraphobia involves intense fear and avoidance of any place or situation where escape might be difficult or help unavailable in the event of developing sudden panic-like symptoms. Approximately 3.2 million American, or about 2.2 percent, have agoraphobia.

Public Speaking and needles. I cut my leg open a few years back (10 inches long and WIDE) and it didn't really bother me that much but when they got me into the hospital and started to give me a shot to numb the pain, I almost passed outJOHN
Livin' the American Dream!
