My doctor asked me if I’m afraid of heights.

I told him I’m more afraid of widths.

  • Hospitals (not psych ones but general medical ones)
  • Dentists
  • Thunder and lightning
  • Spiders

  • Going underwater and in deep water
  • Making speeches or talking on phone in front of someone else

Yes it’s crazy but I’ve always been a fearful person. But most of the things on the list are mild fears. It’s mostly sickness and thunderstorms and deep water that scare me the most.

my biggest fears are heights and getting in the ocean with sharks. im not big on snakes either, but i see enough of them that they don’t bother me as much anymore.

Somehow I’ve eluded all the common one like bugs and dentists and clowns, and instead somehow wound up with a phobia for puppets.

I don’t like swimming in beaches anymore due to a fear of sharks. Regardless of which beach I’m at

To give you an example - my area has not much thunderstorms and then I had to go stay in an area for four months where there were tons of them

I was exposed almost three times a week for four months to these horrendous storms

After all that exposure my fear got worse. My nerves suffered so much I had to move back home

Now when it even just rains hard I sometimes get scared

So sometimes exposure made it worse

So I just learn to live with it

Frogs
Even images of them
Especially when the leaves look like frogs jumping in the dark all over the road ahead
