Spiders and big things. Well most big things anyways, I'm fine with buildings and airplanes but whales, oceans, ships etc. just scare the fuck out of me. I HATE going to Marine Land and Sea World and seeing those GIANT water tanks with those fucking scary ass whales in them...fuck that's creepy. I'm also afraid of most antiques, they just give off this bad energy that scares the fuck out of me. And I am very afraid that my life is just like The Truman Show.

This is an actual medical condition now!!!!

Stolen from wiki:
"The Truman Show Delusion"
Joel Gold, director of psychiatrics at the Bellevue Hospital Center, revealed that by 2008, he had met five patients with schizophrenia (and heard of another twelve) who believed their lives were reality television shows. Gold named the syndrome after the film and attributed the delusion to a world that had become hungry for publicity. Gold stated that some patients were rendered happy by their disease, while "others were tormented. One traveled to New York to check whether the World Trade Center had actually fallen — believing 9/11 to be an elaborate plot twist in his personal storyline. Another came to climb the Statue of Liberty, believing that he'd be reunited with his high-school girlfriend at the top and finally be released from the 'show'."

In August 2008, the British Journal of Psychiatry reported similar cases in the United Kingdom. The delusion has informally been referred to as "Truman syndrome," according to an Associated Press story from 2008.

People putting you on the spot is my main bringer of panic attacks. So, social phobia anxiety things.
Like, a lecturer asking critical questions about a piece I've made. I just look down, try not to hyperventilate and drink some water while mumbling.
Also, not having water around is scary.

Compared to the extreme fright I have for situations like that, physical things like spiders or caves seems like something I would easily be able to handle.

Harming myself while drunk is scary too, and embarrassing. Not a phobia, I suppose, but enough to make me really scared of drinking on my own. Which is a good thing, perhaps. Except there should a better reason for not drinking that much on your own :poke:
Very positive, my worst fears are from my own head, haha.

And crumbs mixed with butter/grease or jelly/jam/sticky stuff in bedsheets/tshirt/pants *shudder*
