Spiders and lots of other bugs. Not a fan of dogs either.

I have also never swam due to a fear of it. (because of drowning mainly, but not completely... i don't even know, it's just a fear)

I am a bit weird when it comes to phobias, I sort of grow out of it and then become scared again when there is a reminder of it somehow.

I remember on holiday there was a fire at the nearby market and theme park, and the rumour was that it was started by a gas bottle igniting. At the time we were staying in a caravan and of course that's powered by gas and we had them attached to the caravan. I was convinced our caravan was going to blow up and believed that as long as I wasn't the nearest person sleeping to the gas cylinders I would survive. Ended up sharing the bed with my parents and woke up in the middle of the night closest to them (note they were outside, I was inside) and I freaked out, woke my parents up and everything! From that day on I wanted to go home from the holiday and then the fear didn't stop when I was at home either. I couldn't sleep for nights on end, I was convinced something would happen, I tried protecting myself by putting sheets up against the walls so nothing could harm me? I was a weird child, but I eventually grew out of that. I then began fearing it a couple of years ago, but I can't remember why! Now though, I just have a general fear of it even though it is going to happen at some point - it is not really a fear of death it is more how I would die and when. It might be a phobia, probably not a genuine major one though.

Huge fear of fish. I can't even look at them no matter if they're cooked, dead or alive. I just hate them and freak out. Even the thought of them makes me cringe away from myself. But I know where that fear came from

Same with ALL insects and slugs. Fear of insects is fairly common but the slugs thing came from stepping on one once.

When climbing something that is only one way up and down that is mine.

Don't know about for anyone else but I was on holiday in Corsica when I was about 11 with my parents and it was really really hot so we found this river where loads of people were swimming and we hopped in ok. And we swam about for a bit and then my dad was like OH PUT YOUR HEAD UNDER THE WATER THERE ARE LOADS OF MUD TROUT and i did and this trout swam straight into my slightly open mouth and it righted itself almost immediately but I just nope nope nope never again
