I am interested to know what you are really scared of.

Only things that are not as a result of health condition or disability, for example I’m scared of people but that doesn’t count as it’s due to social anxiety.

Spiders (boring I know)
Military tanks
Flying on a plane (I wanted to be a pilot but I’m scared with someone else doing the flying)
Drowning
Being in the back of a 2 door car unable to get out before the front passengers get out scares me as well, in case we crash into water.

    Snakes and needles are two of my main ones!

    Drowning is probably one for me too, though I don't find my mind being occupied by it as much.

    Great heights. I’m ok up to say thirty feet but after that no way.

    Rats, mice, spiders, darkness, heights, ghosts, being in isolated places on my own, not keen on flying or sailing

    Being in a car with someone else driving often scares me as well but I’ve learnt to stay calm outwardly as I know that panicking is of absolutely no help to the driver.

    Yes, that's definitely a good one @JustPete! I do worry about that quite a lot, actually, but I imagine that's because I watch far too much TV :D

    Spiders, though I'm fortunate that 99% of the time I can't actually see them

    Any sort of animal other than a dog really. Strange I know but I have always had a phobia of Pigeons and I actually don’t know why.
