By specific, I mean not general fears like fear of heights or spiders.

    Very specific weird fear:

    One time, when I was a kid, I was on a road trip and we stopped at a McDonalds for some food and to use the bathroom. I went into the bathroom and the floor, walls and ceiling all had the same tile covering them. I don’t know why, but when the door closed, I was so fucking terrified I made it halfway to the toilet and then turned around and ran out. It was such a strange experience and I have no idea why it got to me that bad.

    Getting my eyeball cut by a snake plant or “Mother in Laws tongue”. Too many close calls as a child

    This guy gave me a lot of nightmares when I was 6 to 11 years old. Maybe because it showed up abruptly from a side of the screen

    The fear that humanity will never accomplish our full potential and will kill ourselves within the next century or 2.

    That and the open endless ocean

    I have a fear of being wrongly accused/arrested for something horrific, like murder, and then when I’m taken in for questioning I do what you’re supposed to and refuse to speak and ask for a layer, but that just makes everyone suspect me more and I end up in prison.

      Trust me, STFU and stay strong. My wife watches stupid crime shows every night, and every night it’s a bunch of white trash happily talking their dumbasses off to the cops. Makes me want to scream.

    That while I’m driving I’ll have to sneeze while driving across a bridge and during that split second while my eyes are closed and I’m distracted by the sneeze I’m going to drive off the edge.

      … seriously? I mean, that sucks, and I’m sorry.

      This is seriously a fear of yours? Do you think many others having such fears? What exactly is the magastapo?

      It’s the intense feelings, the “us vs them” mentality in politics that hate to the core.

        Well all they would have to do is have a green card and have been involved in the “wrong kind” of protest apparently.

          Nobody with a green card should be protesting anything about our government. If they want to change something, they should go home and change it.

      I had this one friend who smelled like piss one day and everybody I knew was afraid to say something. I sometimes think about that situation and if it was the right thing to brush it off and not tell him or to tell the guy.

    I can’t look at super close up pictures of insects, like where you can see all the little hairs and shit. Sends shivers down my spine. The worst part is I had to dissect a giant grasshopper in high school anatomy. God I still remember having to rip its mandibles out of its face. Gahh shiver. The cat was much more manageable later on in the year lol
