People - large crowds of people, being in a room with strangers, trying to find a seat on a crowded train, meeting new people. Before I would have said that they were just things I didn't like, but after various experiences, including this afternoon in a rather large railway station, I think 'fear' is more apt.

Me too.

I have been known to have to run out of the room at parties and just ESCAPE..

I have a fear of ferries - in case other passengers are sick near me!
This phobia developed after a ferry journey back from Ireland in rough seas - it was one of the most horrendous experiences I've ever had. I won't go into any more details!

Moths. I don't know if it's their large bodies, or the flapping noise they make when they flap their wings, but they are really scarey. And they are a horrible, revolting brown colour. Yuck!

I used to have a phobia of flying, but was cured by several sessions of hypnotherapy and a flight to Australia. (That made flying seem very boring).

Snakes!

A slow worm popped out to see what I was doing whilst I was mowing the lawn today and gave me a touch of the heebie-jeebies!

Sorry to be boring and add to the list of spider scaredycats, but they put the fear of you know what into me. I'm fine with rats, bats, mice, snakes, blood pouring out of severed limbs........... but show me a big black hairy spider running at me and I scream big time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
My Dad and my Step Dad pick them up on their bare hands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) In fact, I knew my Step Dad really loved when I woke him at 1 am to get one off my bedroom wall ( this was some years ago), and he didn't shout at me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
I now have an arrangement with the 8 year old boy across the road. He gets rid of my spiders when Barry isn't home, and I sort any blood spill situations at his house as they are all scared of blood. A good arrangement if you ask me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Babies are pretty scary, I must admit. Some of my friends have just started popping them out, and visits have turned into sessions of trying to avoid holding their offspring... They look so fragile, and I'm always afraid of dropping one. I don't much fancy being vomited on either.

Misread that as 'Maths' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I don't like moths either! Glad you were cured for flying (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Injections and blood tests. I need someone to sit on me when they're essential to stop me running away. It all stems from some bad experiences as a child.

I'm also mildly claustrophobic and feel very uncomfortable in crowded rooms. Not keen on being amonst crowds of people.

I'm not keen on sick but have learned to cope thanks to having children. Can totally sympathise on the bad ferry experience as I've experienced a few of those.

Me too - one in particular - north sea between Newcastle and Stavanger.
19 hour crossing, with a baby and a toddler.

Not nice.
