A phobia being an irrational fear of something. Not just something you hate

2. Jellyfish (medusophobia)

3. Dieing (something else ophobia)

I have a phobia... That Someone's always near.... Fear of the dark!

Nah.. I like it when the daylight fades away.


Lets see..
1. I'll become blind someday
2. I'll lose my fingers someday
3. I'll lose some other equally/more important organ

I don't mind dying, but I don't want to live as an invalid and I hope to die well before I'm ancient.

Re-think that last post, it makes no sense......you don't mind if a person is gay or not but you'd be scared if a gay starts chatting you up. Would you be scared if a girl starts chatting you up???:rolleyes:

I'm scared of heights, failure and people who wear burberry caps....:P

IMO the term 'a gay' has a derogatory ring to it.

Heights really I think is the only one. I suppose I am scared of asking girls out, it's not a fear, it's just an utter hopelessness...

Gay - Happy. Interisting how a word can be adapted and then sound the opposite to what it means...

Before anyone gets hyped, I was referring to the Flintstones' theme song.
