What are your strange fears?

I hate all bugs but most of all I can't stand stinkbugs. Especially in the fall when they're everywhere and flying in my god damn house. -.-

I also fear skunks. I mean I never encountered one in my life but I am usually outside late at night and I can smell their stink so I am afraid one might jump me and spray me.
 
Hmm not sure if i have a strange fear, but a friend of mine did have a fear of the moon. He would never look at it cause it freaked him out. Said it just seems unnatural for it to be so big and just floating there. He hated the moon. I thought that was interesting.

I'm scared of any flying insect. Even actual flys I can't stand. Have a complete fit if any of them come near me. Also have a massive fear of the ocean. More so about what is underneath my feet when I'm in there that I can't see. I haven't been in the ocean for years, not since I was a kid, but I still remember that fear of not knowing what was in there with me. I'm fine with pools and things but the ocean is just so vast and deep. Even the thought scares me

Yeah those are annoying as ****, and yeah they scare me how they even turn out like that .-.

Also yeah, I really get creeped out by large empty and dark houses like my grandma's place I wouldn't sleep there alone for life.
 
When I was a kid I had a fear of seesaws...I just knew if I got on one, I would somehow fall underneath it and get crushed to death..Seesaws still make me cringe...Clowns and antique dolls scare me too..everybody knows that antique dolls come to life at night..
 
i'm terrified of geese. it's really silly but when i was little i had a dream that mother goose (the nursery rhyme character) was chasing after me and honking really loud at me and then she ate me ;~; and since then they have just creeped me out so bad. they are so big and honk so loud and they run at you and ughhhhh

i'm also pretty scared of butterflies. their legs are so long and thin and their tongues omg so gross and unnatural

but my main fear is of teeth. like i can look at my mouth fine but extracted teeth freak me out SO MUCH. and especially any kind of misshapen / malformed teeth, any of those diseases where people have lots of extra teeth in their mouth, any of those halloween costumes with huge creepy pointy teeth.... ugh
and i often have nightmares of my teeth falling out or even worse, crumbling in my mouth
teeth are the worst omg
 
I don't know if this beats the "strange" scale but I am afraid of maps.

okokookokkok before you start telling me i'm insane, I also have a fear of being lost at sea, so when I look at maps (like google earth/satelite view) and look at the water, I feel like i'm going to be lost and that I'm drowning. I also hate when people move the map across an ocean or mountain in google earth, it makes me want to be sick and it's extremely terrifying.
 
I have some pretty weird fears. I am kind of scared of holes. I'm not scared of falling into holes but rather I'm afraid of looking at holes. A few holes are fine but it gets kind of gross when there are multiple holes. I heard that the fear holes is actually a thing though. It's called trypophobia and it's the irrational fear of looking at holes. I do feel like its an irrational fear but holes give me the chills.

I am also afraid of germs. I don't like touching cash, coins, door handles, anything in the restroom, etc. I just really hate germs. I don't share food or double dip either. I don't eve. Double dip when I'm the only one using the dip. I just really hate germs.
 
Mine would be Squirrels. IkIk, most are harmless. But they could be carrying rabies. And seeing as how they are too common, there could be a chance of encountering one. I'd feel defenseless when I encounter one up close.

I'm also afraid of the Emergency Alert System noise. Startles me every time and I get scared of it after it happens because it could happen again at any time.
 
im scared of opening library books because once a big spider was squashed all over the page .-.
 
I think I have a lowkey fear of technology glitching. It's not something I'm really conscious of while I go about my day but I've had a lot of nightmares about things like my computer crashing and displaying a weird message or my AC town corrupting and spawning weird things.
 
Spiders!!! Also I really don't like uncovered windows when it is dark out. People could see me, but I can't see them and it freaks me out.
 
Rodents. I have medieval sensibilities. Those giant pests are awful. Also bugs like lice and bedbugs but that's thanks to my old job. I taught in a very impoverished area of the city.
