I don't have a phobia but insects in general freak me out, I couldn't handle being on one of those "help get me out of here" programs. Thankfully I live in Sweden where the biggest spider we got is the size of a hand. that, I havn't even seen a spider that big.

I remember in elementary school we used to have these weekly reading passages we'd get quizzed on. The one week was a 15-page thing on spiders, and it had all these high-quality, zoomed in pictures of them. I was too afraid to read the thing and I'm pretty sure I failed the quiz on it.
I can't take heights more than the 5th floor of a building (I stayed at a hotel in Miami that put us on the 36th floor. Amazing room, but I was scared poopless to look outside. The pool was on the 10th floor which creeped me out too). I get this anxiety that the building's just gonna topple and I'll fall a great ways down.
A fear of rejection is also in my repertoire. I take things way too seriously because I'm unfortunately a perfectionist, and I get the thought that if I'm not doing something perfect no one's gonna notice me, then my anxiety takes over. Just a matter of taking a deep breath and relaxing, though.

Falling asleep behind the wheel.
I was in a car with 3 other people once. I was in the back seat and fell asleep. When I woke up the car was in a ditch, I was covered in blood, and my friends were all dead. The person driving the car fell sleep at the wheel.
Ever since then I fear falling asleep at the wheel. It happened to me once.
I was in my truck at night in a rural area. I came up on a rail road crossing and the lights started flashing. So I stopped. As I waited for the train to pass I fell sleep. I was woken up mins later by the person who was in the car behind me. They were tapping on my window. I was scared so bad, for a min I thought I had fallen asleep while driving.

-- Heights and long distance driving (I'd rather take a Greyhound or Amtrak than have to drive).
And to the spider-phobic fella, it's said we eat 7 spiders in our sleep, on average. They just crawl into our mouths and down our throats, to where we instinctively swallow in our sleep and not even know it. Probably one of the reasons why we have such bad breath in the morning.

I was scared so bad, for a min I thought I had fallen asleep while driving. Christ! You have some luck as a trucker don't you?! How many hrs were you driving before the tracks? The time I fell asleep at the tracks I think I went a couple of days with out sleeping. If I remember right I worked all day Friday into Saturday morning. And then Saturday I wanted to spend with the wife so I didnt sleep during the day. And then we went to a party and I was there till Sunday Morning. So instead of sleeping we got breakfast and continued on with what we had planed Sunday. Then Sunday night I went to bed pretty late and had to wake up very early morn on Monday. A normal work day for me is somewhere between 13 and 16 hrs. Somedays I run into trouble and end up staying in the truck to sleep. If I take the wife with me then I just stay on the road for days. But then when im "off" there's always something to do or somewhere to go so it feels like I get more tired on my off days.

Being eaten by an animal is probably my worst fear. I can't swim in an ocean. Petrified that a shark will bite me.

I can't stand spiders either. I'm terrified of them. Just the way they look, the way they move, the speed they move at. Just eurgh.
I'm so glad I live in a country where pretty much all spiders are small. England may have some downfalls, but the size of spiders is not one of them! One of the reasons why I do not frequent visits to foreign countries is because of the spiders that live there. One of the many reasons why I would never visit Australia, New Zealand, Africa etc.

You're thankful to live in Sweden where the spiders are the size of your hand? That doesn't make any sense.
But I hate spiders and pretty much any insects in general. I have social anxiety but it has gotten a lot better. It was incredibly hard to deal with in high school, being popular, playing sports, etc.

I've just got a phobia of coming home from like a week long holiday. Because once I went to Mexico (This was Christmas time) then when we came home, the whole kitchen was flooded. Apparently there was a leak, and for Christmas, I didn't know my parents got me a PS3 and some games. Thank God the PS3 was okay and dry, but the games were soaking. No harm done to the discs, they're fine. It was just the covers. I got some books too, most of them were wet. So obviously at the time I was devastated, they got a man to come over to fix what was the problem, I was tired, so I brung one of the books upstairs to read, then I fell asleep. I think I was asleep for about half an hour/an hour, and when I woke up, there were bin bags all on the floor (So we can walk around downstairs without our feet being soaked) and I walked into the kitchen, there was this BIG MASSIVE mess ALL in the kitchen. The ceiling fell, so most chunks of the ceiling came crashing down on the kitchen, there was still a floor upstairs where the ceiling thing happened. Lol, brings a whole meaning to the song by Macklemore 'Like the Ceiling Can't Hold Us'
So yeah, I'm basically scared of going home after I've been away from it for at least more than two days, in case if someone breaks in or another leak happens, that's why the parents got a security thing, so I shouldn't be worried.
This was in 2010, I've got a bad memory remembering things from what happened years ago, so sorry if this isn't detailed enough
Spiders freak me out also.

I hate bugs period, I'm not scared of them but if one touches me I flip out lol I can see pictures and stuff and be okay. Terrified of water where I cant see the bottom too, so no swimming in lakes or oceans.

Being in a dark room. I need light. One time, I was on the crapper and there was a storm. I was just sitting there... pooping. Then the lights went out. I was freaking out, but I wouldn't move. Thankfully the lights came back on.
Another fear is rejection. I was always to afraid to ask a girl out in school because I didn't want to be rejected.
I also don't like to be in a bathroom for too long. Freaks me out.
Germaphobe. However you spell it. OCD...
Lots of quirks about me.
