Then there is without a doubt my fears might be common.
(1) Dark:
I'm scared of shadows, especially when I'm alone. (They help in Sauerbraten fragging though) I hate the dark because I don't know what lies in it or what might come out of it. Sometimes I'm certain it is what it is, just a place of little or no light. But I'm still scared. There is without a doubt this fear is linked to the paranormal and on days I either have to switch on my nightlight (which is troublesome because I have to climb up to switch it on then climb down to switch the room lights off before finally tucking myself in bed), or have my mother switch the room lights off for me. Either way, the dark is still there. I've had my share of nightmares to creep me out enough about the dark. I'm 14, and to me the fear might last for life.
I haven't been stocking up on carrot juice anyway.
(2) Injections; blades; needles; cuts:
I don't think I'm the only one. I've seen people who wailed and flailed getting jabs. I guess I got my fear from my primary six vaccination experience. I don't think I might want to repeat it here. I'm certain a large amount of people know already. If I didn't fear this at all (blades especially) I think I would have disappeared off the face of the Earth easier than 1, 2, 3.
(3) Speeds:
I fear high speeds. I also fear roller coasters which link my phobia of heights. I even get a little hair raiser when my mother travels a little too fast in the car.
(4) The little bits left at the bottom when you drink a compound suspension beverage:
Yes. I actually detest those more than I fear them. Like tea for example (especially Chinese tea) there's the little bits of tea leaves hiding themselves from the surface. It's not that they taste icky (trust me, sometimes they do) but the sight of it just rings the disgust. Well yeah I know, starving children would gulp down the tea (even the ickiness) down without complaint. Don't compare, there are things they fear that we don't. Period.
(5) Bees. Wasps. Large insects that might kill me:
As suicidal as I ever was, I knew never to come near a bee or wasp, or whatever humongous ugly flying object coming my way. I always (make that forever) try to shun these FFFO (Fully Feared Flying Objects) but hey, sometimes they say the further you run, the farther they chase.
(6) The large, tall tunnel slides:
Those at the playgrounds that reach up to storeys, not metres. Those that curl around an invisible pole that winds down to the ground. Those that take at least 5 seconds (of horror) to reach ground zero. Yeah. I actually still fear those, reasons unknown.
(7) Heights:
I hate high leveled houses with those big glass windows that reach from the ceiling to the ground, those that gaze to the levels beyond. Well yeah, I hate ferris wheels too. And roller coasters.
I don't like open spaces way up high.
(8) Death:
This doesn't need explanation, only the ironical side of it. I want to die but I fear leaving my memories behind. One more time. I Don't Know.
(9) Ants:
Like 'the bits at the bottom', I actually hate them. I smash every ant I see which explains the luck.
(10) Being broke:
Money faced.
(11) Empty wallet:
The pain is excruciating.
(12) Scraped knees:
Worse than bruised, burning ones.
(13) Judgement:
Positive judgement is better than negative by far. Anyhow, 'If you have nothing good to say then don't say anything at all.' Point taken.
(14) Drinking expired milk:
I drank a whole mouthful only to have the most sour aftertaste in my life.
(15) Departure of my dog, hamster and gerbil:
They might be the most troublesome (ranked after me) in the household but they are, without a single doubt; the most silent and understanding.
(16) Strange noises:
I hear voices.
(17) Losing something:
The nagging is more painful than having an empty wallet.
