Weird childhood fears?

Post Reply New Topic

When I was younger my oddest fears were always a trouble getting over and they still are now, one of my main fears were sitting on the toilet, it's not because I had a problem with germs but because I was scared that some sort of spider would end up crawling on me from out of nowhere and start biting me before I had time to escape so nowadays I have to check the whole bathroom for spiders before going and if there was any to be found I'd just have to hold it until I'm sure it ain't there any more....

I would've have told you guys about my other phobias but because some are just soooo...you know...slightly disturbing I am not going to go there. So yeeeeaah....

I used to be terrified of bugs
Every night i would check my room for any bugs before i went to sleep LOL

More like a bug fear really... But I'm scared of laying down on grass.
I also have the strangest fear of E.T and head teachers... IDK why?

Don't ask but...when I was younger I always used to have a very strong fear of toilets....no not just public ones....I always thought they'd somehow clog up or something....yeah....pretty....uh....insane right???

At 4 years, I was afraid of a window knob in my room. Toilets were not to be trusted either.

Spiders. I still have nightmares of tarantulas occasionally.

I used to be afraid of dying but that was mainly due to my anxiety disorder and I've been put on an anti-depressant for it. That fear has diminuished since then.

I was afraid of the rain... and ghosts

I was afraid of boats because I didn't know how to swim at all until I was like 9. I was worried they would sink, and I would drown. But, at 11 years old, I got over it. Today, ironically, I love kayaking. I was also afraid of going on planes because of the part in the beginning where the plane would tilt a lot.

I used to be scared of the shower because I didn't like the noise that the water made.

I was afraid of being abducted by aliens in my sleep.

I was afraid of The Blob.

My son is afraid of pinecones. He also freaks out when the bird whose butt is accidentally shaved starts squawking in the cartoon movie Peter Pan.

As a little girl I was terrified of string, Bloody Mary, Candyman, cars, thunderstorms, the dark, loud noises, bathrooms, vent fans, sleeping in my own bed, certain songs, escalators, elevators, and red eyes. That's all I can think of.

Out of all those fears, today I'm still scared of Bloody Mary, cars (and I am scared of sitting in the front of the car and I don't drive) thunderstorms, I'm only a little scared of the dark but I can tolerate it as long as its not pitch black , I HATE LOUD NOISES, I'm still terrified of public bathrooms unless there's a window in them, and it also depends on the lighting or color, I don't like escalators because I fell down one when I was three, elevators make me uncomfortable, red eyes still kind of scare me, and I've developed other fears over the years.

Anti-piracy screens in old games creep me out. Especially the dreaded Puggsy SRAM trick...

Jibble...

for some reason my piano started to make this awful noise and I got so scared that I didn't want to play it anymore. but then I got used to it but it still does not stop.
