Got this from axelalloy's journal, thought it’d be fun.

[ ] the dark (Don’t be afraid of the dark, be afraid of what’s in it)
[ ] staying single forever
[x] being a parent (I don’t think I have what it takes to raise a child)
[ ] giving birth (as a man, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about this, but for those of you reading this who have experienced the pain of childbirth, which is worse; giving birth, or passing a kidney stone?)
[ ] being myself in front of others (I’ve made numerous friends who accept me for who I am, although I agree that some things are meant to stay behind closed doors)
[ ] open spaces
[ ] closed spaces (Depends on how much elbow-room there is)
[x] heights (Only if there’s no guardrail or something to keep me from falling)
[ ] dogs (I’m not afraid of them, I just don’t like them as much as I like cats)
[ ] birds (there’s nary a tree on my property that doesn’t have a birdhouse mounted on it)
[ ] fish (my sister has a fishtank, and I watched a zebra-fish embryo develop under a dissection microscope a few months back; it was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen)
[ ] spiders (I don’t mind them, but my mother was bit once and got sick from it, so she hates them)
[ ] flowers or other plants (why would you fear these?)
[x] being touched (I like my personal space; and I was briefly molested by another student during middle school, but I immediately reported him to the Principal)
[ ] fire (As long as it’s kept under control, there’s nothing to worry about)
[ ] deep water (I can swim, I’m just not overly fond of the effect it has on my ears)
[ ] snakes (love ‘em. Raised two as pets once)
[ ] silk (why would you fear silk?)
[ ] the ocean (life originated in the world’s oceans, what’s to fear?)
[x] failure (one of my greatest phobias. What’s worse is that it feels unavoidable)
[ ] success (what’s not to like about success?!)
[x] thunder/lightning (I was almost struck once!)
[ ] frogs/toads (I hunt for them on warm summer nights; I don’t harm them, I just chase them, catch them, show them to the family, and let them go outside)
[ ] my boyfriends/girlfriends dad (I’m single)
[ ] boyfriends/girlfriends mom (I’m single)
[ ] rats (they’re cute)
[ ] jumping from high places (depends how high, what’s at the bottom, etc.)
[ ] snow (I love building snowmen)
[ ] rain (a little water never hurt anyone)
[ ] wind (let’s go fly a kite!)
[ ] crossing hanging bridges (I’ve never done so, but I imagine it would be a bit unnerving)
[ ] death (I honestly don’t know)
[ ] heaven (Why would you fear a place that’s supposed to be pure bliss?)
[ ] being robbed (I take precautions against that)
[ ] falling (depends where from)
[ ] clowns (I don’t fear them, I just find them REALLY annoying)
[ ] dolls (only when they move on their own)
[x] large crowds of people (I like…my personal…SPACE!)
[ ] men
[ ] women
[x] having great responsibilities (this goes along with failure)
[ ] doctors, including dentists
[ ] tornadoes
[ ] hurricanes
[ ] incurable diseases
[ ] sharks
[ ] Friday the 13th (PRAISE LORD VOORHEES!!!)
[ ] ghosts (I don’t think I’ve ever seen one)
[ ] poverty
[ ] Halloween (My birthday)
[ ] school (a necessary evil)
[ ] trains (I never know where to go and when to get off)
[ ] odd numbers
[ ] even numbers
[ ] being alone (only for longer than half a day)
[x] becoming blind (I rely far too heavily on my eyes for their loss to be acceptable)
[x] becoming deaf (I like to be able to hear my environment)
[x] growing up (I’m still young at heart)
[ ] creepy noises in the night (depends on what they are)
[ ] bee stings (bees won’t bother you unless you go near their nest, or smell like flowers)
[x] not accomplishing my dreams/goals (I don’t know if I ever will)
[ ] needles (depends on who’s wielding them)
[ ] blood (everybody has it in them)
[ ] dinosaurs (They are amazing!)
[ ] the welcome matt (lolwut?)
[ ] high speed (depends on the number of obstacles)
[x] throwing up (It’s not pleasant)
[ ] falling in love (What is love?)
[ ] super secrets (what makes a secret “super”

I’m afraid of 12. That’s normal, I guess.

... if you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it I'm afraid of _ out of 72 common fears...

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.
