idk if this can be categorized as a "strange fear" because its actually a phobia and not just really a general "I hope this never happens to me" but a lot of people think its a weird phobia to have.
I can't deal with veins, at all. Like, its hard to explain to people because they're like "but you have them! you see them all the time!" and like, sure man, but when I do notice mine it stresses me out to no end. It's only really inner arm veins, and when I notice them or someone grabs/touches my wrist or inner elbow I have to take a minute and calm down and hug my arms to my chest because it freaks me out. And when people show theirs I freak out or when they talk about them I start to get really anxious.
The worst is when I have to get blood drawn, I have to lay down so I don't faint and I cry like a baby the whole time, its terrible.
Even talking about it now is really uncomfortable lmao ?\_(ツ)_/?

Same! I always keep my curtains closed once it's dark out and I'm afraid of opening them because I half expect there'll be someone just standing there and staring at me if I do. I'm afraid of looking into mirrors when it's dark as well.
I also become oddly uncomfortable whenever I'm trying to sleep at night and I have my feet dangling off the end of my bed. There's a part of me that worries someone will come up and grab them which doesn't make very much sense as I sleep on a mattress on the floor so there's nothing that could even get underneath my bed, but I get freaked out anyway.

I'm afraid of vomit. When I see someone throwing up I go lightheaded and I feel really dizzy, it's so strange. I used to cry a lot when I saw people throw up, it just really freaks me out. Not sure why! My body just kind of tells me "THAT'S BAD AND YOU SHOULD BE TERRIFIED" and my heart starts racing. My fear of vomit is not as bad as it used to be... I mean I'm glad I have never thrown up myself (I'm sure I did when I was a baby but I don't remember it) because I'd probably be traumatised! x3
I also hate the dark.
I hated having to study Media at school 'cause we analysed horror movie trailers and I hated having to watch them because I would never be able to sleep at night afterwards. **** that ****.

Me too, mostly for scaring purposes, but also for sexy spider dances. Too bad they're like $800 RIP
Recently,there was news about some female tourist who went to Mexico and she was walking somewhere and some camera on the street caught footage of a man running up behind her,flipping her skirt up,and pulling her garment down.She fell down and quickly put it back on.But by then he disappeared.
I live in New York,near NYC,so nothing like that happens here,but I still have an irrational fear,especially yesterday,because I went out for the first time in forever,in a dress,slightly above knee length.

When I was little, I was terrified of my feet being sucked into the vacuum cleaner when my mom was vacuuming xD I'm 22, and I know it's ridiculous, but I still feel the same anxiety when vacuums get too close to my feet... Like I won't have toes anymore if it touches me lol

Confrontation.
I don't know why. I've just always had a fear of having a fight. While this is true, I also have no problem arguing with siblings at home ?*but it's just during class or with my friends, or with my theatre teachers. I'm not sure what I'm afraid of with it exactly, because I only get angry when it's logical to get angry and I almost never let true spite or grudges be held about things that are stupid. I know I wouldn't have anything to lose in the arguments, and that I wouldn't feel stupid by being proved wrong, but I still feel super duper scared. So I always end up pretending that nothing is wrong, even if that just makes my hatred grow stronger for the person in question.
Super unhealthy. I know. Hah.
I also really hate spiders.

Oh the flying insects thing for sure!
I was once trapped in my room with a crane fly? I think that's what they're called. Anyway, it flew into my ceiling light and then kept flying up and down bumping into the flor and back into the light. Honestly if I wasn't terrified.
I used to be quite scared of birds too when I was younger, for a similar reason I guess. I was always worried that when one Lee near me they were going to crash right into me or something....thankfully that's something I got over
Also have an irrational fear every time I have to have an mri scan....I'm holding on to that buzzer for dear life. I end up lying there thinking that if there was a fire now the nurses outside would just run and save themselves and I'd be stuck in the machine.
I'm very claustrophobic though so that's where it comes from
