I used to scream operatically at the sight of a needle, up to like, age 13 or 14; it wasn't something I was choosing to do, it just happened... and then I had to get a ton of blood draws (for a reason that turned out to be bunk...) and suddenly turned into the Implacable Man. Bizarre experience.

I'm extremely scared of stepping on small animals and killing them. Unfortunately for me, Currently, Cicadas, so I'm basically trapped inside oTL
Well it's optional, just to check your health. It does make the insurance cheaper, should you choose to do so.

emetophobia— vomiting freaks me out, although it’s definitely gotten better as I’ve gotten older, and I can tolerate it a bit more now ^^;

I'm terrified of water, if I can't see the bottom, no thank you. Even in video games, which cause me the worst anxiety. I have a rational fear of spiders though, I love jumping spiders, but keep all other hairy ones away.

I have a major fear of whales....I think it came from the bible story of Jonah and the whale since it was told a lot as a child. Also honestly, I played kingdom hearts as a kid and the Pinocchio world where you got swallowed by the whale also severly freaked me out.

I'm afraid of the dark. Despite the fact that I am a very adult person.
also cramped spaces make me uncomfortable.
A dark cramped basement is a nightmare.

My biggest phobia is (most) arachnids. I fear very little, but something like a spider or daddy longlegs makes me very uneasy.

When I was very young, I was also afraid of drains, because I was absolutely convinced I would be sucked down them and drown. My poor mom really had to fight to get me into the bath...

I am absolutely terrified of the ocean, or really any large open body of water. If I can't see through the water, and I'm super far from shore, I am going to cry.

I think this all came from an incident in middle school where I went tubing with a friend. The boat made a sharp turn and I fell off the tube, getting whiplash, and I was stuck treading the cold murky water with a hurt back waiting for my friend to come back.

I felt an enormous fish (or something! I couldn't see!) brush against my legs. Warm and slimy. Terrifying lol
Here are my creatures in case I'm doing this right:

Lets see . . . heights, bugs, slimy things, small holes--mostly heights and bugs.

It's weird, though, because I'm fine with planes. I can't imagine falling off a plane, it's enclosed, and you can't really break the stuff that holds one up--it's held up by air. So I'm fine with them.

I'm very scared of sudden loud noises, so I used to get very stressed as a child around balloons and firecrackers. I've gotten over the balloons, but I cannot go outside during firework-heavy festivities. I'm like a scared pet on the 4th of July.

Needles. Needles are HORRIFYING and I can't- no. My mom likes to make fun of me for this and call me immature but by all the bloody stars those things are horrifying. Like, have you SEEN how far into your flesh they go????

And then there's sticky things. Just. No. I don't like sticky things and that is that.
Children are sticky. Don't like children.
Most animals are sticky. Don't like most animals.
Bugs are sticky. Ew.
I wonder, sometimes.
