One of my fears that has haunted me since a child has been the fear that I would contract a viral or bacterial infection or any disease affecting my skin. I feared that one day I would wake up and find my skin rotting away by a flesh eating virus. I had an extreme case of hypochondria as a child and seeing things on the news, TV, movies, especially the internet would traumatize me. It was so bad when I was 9 I went 4 months without wanting to touch water because I thought I get it from that (little bit of Cabin Fever scare!). I would literally throw tantrums and cry till I threw up and also ran away a few times when forced to take a shower.
My second fear are gross, slimy, alien-like creatures you would see in the likes of the movies 'Species', 'Splice' 'Slither' (yeah all the names that start with an S lol), and 'Alien' (although just the sequences with the baby Xenomorphs combusting through the chest, oh and the facehuggers)... These are just the few that were traumatic for me to watch. I mean I literally shake and itch when I see these things it's so scary. If any of these things really existed I would rather die
My last and greatest fear is of flying some kind of aircraft or any kind of aero-type of transportation. I believe the term is areophobia. But anyways~ I have always feared airplanes for some reasons. It's quite crippling for me because I always wanted to travel to places in Europe. I literally can't bring myself to ever want to try it the thought is quite agonizing and I dream almost everyday about being in a plane crash. I also live 4 miles away from an airport, so its even worst...I get scared to see them take off.
Anyways, I am not afraid of spiders for one...I actually find baby Tarantulas to be really CUTE. I don't fear being alone I kinda felt alone my whole life and know for certain I'll die alone. I am very apathetic to when it comes to catastrophes (global, economic, natural disasters,etc.) and I think we all are better to not dwell on them unless you want to lose a lot of sleep and hair. Though living in California I am worry of Earthquake occurrences.. and as an American cautious of gun violence and rioting, seems you can't trust anyone these days and don't know how your day will end after going to a football game, a Wal-Mart, movie theater, or Mall for a simple outing.
