People. Why? Who knows?

Fire. I don't know why.

A little fear I have is of bugs. Just mainly bugs like roaches or earwigs... I can't be in the same room or I am screaming (it is embarassing...) and also being alone in large places, crowded or not. A bigger fear I have would be growing up and not being ever being able to be successful in the ways that I want because of something stupid I would have done. EDIT:And quite honestly, I do not see what the point is in rating my answers like some of you people do. My fears do not have to be useful to you, it doesn't make sense to me... but whatever.

I fear lots of things for different reasons and some i don't even have a reason for fearing them. my first on is Fire i watched my grandmas house burn about 11 years ago thank god they were gone. Moths i have no clue why they just creep me out Snakes because when i as about 5 i kicked a dead snake and it made noise it was a rattle snake i know it was dead by i scared me when it made noise so now im scared for them all i have a huge fear for failer i was raise that if you cant excel then don't bother i have failed before and it is a big problem for me. also i don't try or finish a lot of things because of that. ok there is some of my list thanks

I fear being blind. I have very poor vision and can't see anything but blurry colors with out my contacts in. I am thankful that I can see that much, but I fear having uncorrectable(if it's a word) blindness.

I'm realy fobic of swimming in realy deep water, but only if I can't see the bottom.

Just the first line of this movie clip, listen closely (you might not see it, youtube is under maintenance)

Aliens.....I just think it would be terrifying to see a scary Alien

I'm also realy afraid of going insane.

seagulls. I don't really know why- its just this weird phobia.

I'm not so-much afraid of things as I am neurotic about them. Here's my top 3 Fish Worms Chinese buffets

heights, cant stand to be close to a window in a building. I went to the Grand Canyon one time and I could not go to the edge and look over. I refused to go to the top of the Empire State Bldg.... I look straight ahead if I drive over a bridge. I dont fly, if I can get out of it.....I dont watch movies scenes where they fly over the skyscrapers and the camera is viewing down. Just a little quirk of mine. Dont know why. I used to have nightmares of falling long falls when I was a kid.

People reading my mind. because if i'm thinking something dirty then they're gonna know

airports and planes , cause every time since 9/11 i just cant go on a plane without sleeping pills or anti depressants , weird yea i know , (fear of flying)

Cold and dark places, like the Marianas Trench. The ocean at night. The far side of the moon and beyond. Drowning. Ghosts. Getting crushed by large heavy objects. Torture. Serial killers. Intense pain. Dying. Not necessarily death, but I wouldn't rule it out. Then there's accidentally drinking sour milk. That's a big one. And heights.

I have a fear of getting buried alive I have a fear of mice and rats I have a fear of death to me and my loved ones

Spiders, for I don't think sometihng should have 8 legs and be alive. I just have a horrible phobia.

Drowning. I have a sailboat. I'm not afraid to be on the water, but I am afraid to be in the water. I've taken swim lessons three times to no avail.

Bugs and bats, thank goodness the bats eat the bugs and they don't often get in the house, but when they do, even if it's 3:00 AM I will wake someone else to come over and get it out. No lie. Edit: How the heck does this merit a downrate?!! Does someone out there know me better than I do?!! It answers the question and it is factual! WHAT THE HECK DO YOU WANT, A SOURCE????!!! It's MY FEAR STUPID!

Complacency. The word gives the illusion of a cozy,warm pleasurable place to be. Beware, it is quite the oppisite.

clowns, scare the living shit out of me.I dont know why.I think they are evil, sick,and twisted.hights are freaky,I went on a skii lift cuz i'm stupid,I knew I was afraid of hights.I started flipping out,crying and the whole 100 yards.

Never was afraid of this, but recently I'm starting to be afraid of death. Might be that I've reached the midpoint in my life, or just recently added two more children to total three. But that's it, thats all I'm afraid of, at least a little.

If the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Then fear is an option.

I have never really been afraid of anything. although, one night, i was searching this old mansion for a prowler. went in on the first floor. the coffee cup, on the table was still warm and the shower stall still had water on it. from the first floor, i could hear someone breathing on the third floor of the mansion. my legs began to get weak. the batteries in my flashlight died and all i had was the flick from my bic(lighter). I slowly made my way up the winding spiral steps from the mansion floor. each step sent chills down my spine and the floor squeaked with each step. i knew i was a sitting duck, walking up the steps, with only my bic in my hand. halfway up the steps, i stopped. i could still hear someone breathing in a room above me. the breathing was heavier and my heartbeat was pounding out my ears. i felt faint. can't stop now, remember you are not afraid of anything...HaHa! Only three more steps to go to the end of the first floor. so far, so good. now, i am beginning to sweat. the water is pouring down my face and into my eyes. my sweat is salty and burning my eyes. made it to the second set of round steps. my heart is racing. Stop and listen......yes, he is still there and breathing harder than ever. my adrenaline takes over. i now pick up the pace, up the steps. i have made it to the top of the third floor. The breathing has stopped and so has my heart. I ran over to the open window of the old mansion and looked both ways.... no one. suddenly, i heard the "hoot" of a screech owl. almost wet my pants. a thud happened. he jumped from the third floor, down to the ground, running at top speed into the woods. he's gone...good. Gaining my composure, i flicked off my bic, wiped the remaining sweat off my brow and walked down the staircase to the first floor. See, i have never really been afraid of anything..........yeah, right!

Fear of bees/wasps/hornets, dunno why Fear of intense physical suffering Fear of mutilated bodys, because it is so disturbing to me

i am affriad of my god (Allah)

As said by our great, but former president Franklin D. Roosevelt, "There is nothing to fear but fear its self." and in this I follow.

I am sometimes afraid of trying my very best. Why? Because only if you give it your best shot you will see your real limitations. As long as you give less than your fullest potential you never have to admit that you can't achieve a higher goal.

Mine is honestly, people, but not all people. I still have some good friends. I have heard that the fear of people is one of the hardest fears to deal with. Anthropophobia is the name for it.

I'm afraid of cultivated ignorance, apathy, misogynism, misandrism, theocracy, and peas. I'm afraid someone will make me eat peas. :P Edit: Misandrism is the opposite of misogynism. It is not a commonly used word, but it exists. http://www.merriamwebster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=misandrist

That disco will make a comeback.

That coca cola will discontinue diet coke.

Just seeing this question made me think quite hard, i don't think i fear anything! Is that weird?

I am afraid of large dogs. For why, please see the following link. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/80460

The new river gorge bridge, to much space under it, was never afraid of it til i seen the mothman prophcies every since then i go into panic attacks if i think if have to go over it. Have woke up in the middle of the night thinking about crossing it & freak out. Went to flordia crossed many high bridges never phased me the first time, come back into west virgina thinking i conquired my fear.....wrong panic attack before i got to it. To high to long, i can't stand that hollow feeling when you cross it. EEEFF

I'm in this group. I think it's because I'm clostrophic. Being under water is not natural for humans (breathing). My biggest fear would be to die of drowning.

In Answerbag, I am now afraid of the religion section. That can really bring you down if you say something someone doesn't like.... I am also very afraid of people like satine said, but it doubles when I have to do something in front of them or talk.

You will all think I'm nuts and not being serious but I am afraid of zombies. Though they may not be real, in a sense, to me they scare the daylights out of me! I have had multiple nightmares over the years and all have included dead people. Some of the night terrrors I have had were so real I could swear when I woke up I could smell them and hear it breathing. I have even woke up my husband and told him to check the house and kids to make sure that there was nothing there. I'm not sure why I have this fear just one of my quirks I guess...

I'm afraid of frightened, ignorant people with a mob mentality because there would be no end to the havoch they could place upon humanity.

growing old alone, not being able to experience everything possible, failing, realizing i haven't accomplished anything over 28 years, people thinking i'm nuts, haha

That we humans will not wise up in time to save our planet and our race from our own ignorance, greed, and fear.

I am afraid of spiders!!

I have arachniphobia too. It just scares me to look at those things. I don't care about the small ones or daddy long legs. I care about big ones or fat ones. I can;t touch a bug either. It just freaks me out, if one comes into my house, I will not go to the place it was for 3 hours. Boys can be scared of things too :p!!!

WOW great story John..One night last year, I went to bed. My son was on the sofa, he was sleeping over cuz his work was closer to my home the next day. I fell asleep, sort of in the fetal position. Somewhere in the deep dark night, I woke with a man in my bed, and we were like in the spoon position. I was frozen with fear, could not move but wide awake. I could feel every part of his body, PLUS he was breathing on my neck, and his breath was hot and scary. I just laid still as if I was dead, till I could get away, cause I thought he would kill me. He then put his arm on my head, and with that I screamed!!!! My son ran in, and no one was in my bed, or in this house besides the two of us. That had to be the most frightening paranormal experience of my life. I am psychic and do talk to dead people but I am in no way a kook. That was I assume, what they call an incubus, now THEY are scary..

dumb questions like this.

Terrorists. My name explains why.

i hate stairs -i know its weird but when i was younger my brother would run up them behind me and grab my feet while screaming -to this day even when no one is in the house i still run up stairs bc i am afraid someone will grab my feet haha i love snakes and spiders and all other things that normal people are afraid of haha

throwing up (emetophobia), parasitic worms, spiders, chemical warfare, hospitals, barracuda, and disease. just because they scare the sh*t out of me.

the future. I fear the unknown.

Boats. Call me crazy but there's just something strange about a multi-ton hunk of metal floating on the ocean.

I am afraid of death and were we go afterwards.It makes me sad if i dwell on it.

My biggest fear: needles The cause: I have needlephobia It sucks! Everytime I walk into a doctors' office, the same image appears in my head again and again; the super pointiness of that long, metal, shiny needle that is about to be thrusted into my skin! AHHHHHHHH! And especially when the doctor calls me into his or her office, and asks me to be seated.. When I sit in that chair, tears roll down my face because I know what's coming. The problem is that, it doesn't even hurt that much.. But I still cry and whine...

Dick Cheney. Who isn't?

I'm scared of heights... because you can die from them and I'm terrified of slugs. I don't really know why, but I always have been.

Lol, it's kinda embarrasing, but I'm scared of dark, open closets. It's something I inherited from my dad, I guess. But we both can't stand falling asleep with a closet open. It's really weird but I'm still scared of it. yikes!

I am afraid of my parents dying. I love my parents to DEATH, and for them to die, i would feel as if my world was turned upside down. They are like THE ONLY ONES in this world that i know best, and them the same with me. They have put up with me as a teenager (im still a teen) and tought me right from wrong. They have also pushed me in the right direction, including learning about Christ, and how he helps us. But even when they do die, ill know theyll be in heaven waiting for me, so yeah. Death=AHHHH!

I'm scared shitless Of spiders, and I have no idea why, I guess the prospect of their hairy long tickly legs crawling on me, scares me.

People. I just have a hard trusting people.

I am afraid of mice. I am also afraid of this knowledge being exploited by others. When I was a kid, I had this habit of locking doors behind me. Well this one day I was in the R&R room and I locked the door behind me, when lo & behold a mouse runs out and stops dead in its tracks. We were both scared of each other obviously. Been scared ever since.

large spaces.. and i, quite frankly, dont know why!..

Of course I'm human and have the normal fears, but the only fear that troubles me on a daily basis is this, 'will the children I have brought into this world be OK throughout their lives? will they like their lives?' To me, this is a HUGE fear.

The evil men in this world.

My wife

Waking up to my dead grandmother climbing up my leg with a knife in her teeth. inspired by Hunter S. Thompson

Myself. I'm always afraid that I'll turn into another one of the horrible, stupid, sheep-people I see all around me, I'm afraid of what I can do if I don't keep myself in check, it can be a little tough at times, but I like to think I'm a slightly better person for it.

getting someone pregnant

I'm scared of my son's basic rights being withheld, simply because he is different. It happens to more autistic people than you realize, and it angers me and scares me more than anything ever has, because I feel so powerless.

Being out of control and doing something harmful to myself or someone else.

Snakes, they just creep me out. And werewolfs.

No Fear.

men

spiderman.

I'm not scared of death, but I AM scared of being killed, mostly because someone who was willing to kill would not be beyond inventing a gruesome torturous way to enact the deed.

OPTICIANS

I'm not so much "scared" as deathly afraid of spiders. DEATHLY afraid. I'll wrestle a snake before I'm left in a room with a spider of any kind. Just thinking about it is freaking me out...

Getting old, falling down and breaking my hip :P

im scared of being alone and homeless or something.

Ghosts.... I actually see them some times (no kidding). ******************************************* I am scared of the day when first one of my family member would die. :( *******************************************

My serious fear (and forgive me if any of you are offended) is midgets. I don't know why, I just am. If any of you know a way of beating this phobia let me know. When I see one, I cannot help but feel like they are going to attack me and rip out my soul or something.

Not living life to the fullest - and seeing any of my children suffer.

Never being content with who I am.

I have never known fear any part of my life or career. Friends and fellow officers tell me I have nerves of steal, But recently I think a fear has developed deep within side of me, and that is the fear of being alone.

Being traped in small spaces, i'll actually start screaming.

I'm afraid I'll wake up one day and I'll be back in 8th grade class and Sister Mary Sharon is whopping a ruler on my head telling me to wake up!

I'm afraid of heights.

Getting someone pregnant... this question was asked yesterday I think.

snakes

Spiders. I can't stand them, I scream like a banshee when I see one, even if it's tiny!!!!

BEES. I am sooooo afraid of bees. Luckly I have never been stung!!

Moths, and ants mostly (from the bug world). I don't think I am scared of snakes, but I have never encountered a live one in the bush - so I can't be sure (but I like reptiles generally). Spiders I can live without - but they eat other bugs, so they are kind of OK.

My biggest fear is bugs in general.

The moral minority and the intolerant, close minded.

Spiders. They just gross me out.

Snakes send shivers down my spine, and yes I saw Snakes On A Plane, evil movie! lol

Hairy spiders Spider webs Trouser snakes (no not really but I thought it would be fun to mention it LOL)

i don't mind snakes. if there's a spider in the room I get chills and am unable to move and I will scream (despite size) and on occasion *blush* cry if it's surprising or bigger than normal. but mostly bugs in general are disgusting and I fear them as well...

I'm horribly scared of spiders!! And small spaces absolutely freak me out.

big hairy spiders and bugs you can't step on to kill

Spiders

Not afraid of any creatures but the taxman scares the crap out of me
