I hate being near the edges of things - cliffs, ledges etc etc. Besically anywhere I could easily fall off, for some reason I always have the urge to jump and I cannot trust myself. Cannot stand spiral staircases either for some reason
This is interesting.A couple of years ago a group of us were trekking in the Snowdonia.
All bar one or us agreed, we went bothered about falling off, but what bothered us was the irrational fear that we may throw ourselves off.
The odd one out thought we were weirded.

There's nothing than bothers me...except for these.
Imagine my face when walking through Whitby in Feb, i turn around to find a crate of these b
ds right in front of me. Fish counters in French supermarkets are also a no go zone!
I suppose this would be inappropriate of me then? There's nothing than bothers me...except for these.

Dying young. Got so much planned and so many things to do, I wouldnt want to go early. Getting something like a cancer frightens me more than anything
Jumping off heights, flying, going fast, swimming in deep water etc. None of those things I have no problem with. Dont fancy potholing though

Had a huge one for tea the other night, lovely!I used to do crab and lobster fishing in the holidays from college, good money in those days. One night I came home with a stonking big bugger and couldn't find a pan big enough to cook it in, so bunged it in the bottom of the fridge for the night.
Staggered into the kitchen the next morning to find the fridge wide open. The bugger must have forced the door open and scuttled out onto the the balcony of our 6th floor apartment. He almost made a dive into the carpark below.
I just disjointed him and did the parts in white wine and mushrooms for brekkie (it was the '80s and didn't know about chilli and ginger).

Same here. I'm not afraid (or affraid for that matter 
) of spiders or snakes, but the moment a wasp enters a room, I develop a vagina and have to leave.
It's the result of being stung twice in as many weeks when I was six. To a six year old child, it is the worst pain in the world.
Never been stung since. I've experienced all manner of broken bones, had Norovirus, toothache etc. However, because I remember how painful it felt to me then, I'm absolutely petrified of the hateful little bds.
I need to get stung to get over it, but until then, I shall live in fear

I think your scaredy penis might be the problem here.
I've been stung numerous times by wasps (including on the tongue - never leave your coke can uncovered) and I'm not even slightly worried by wasps.
Casual, unthinking and idiotic misogyny is terrifying though.

I agree with that.I also used to be terrified of stairs with gaps in them, although thankfully I got over that a few years ago.

I live by the coast and often walk and run right near large drops. I do find myself thinking how easy it would be to jump off. Weird.A couple of years ago a group of us were trekking in the Snowdonia.

The thought of potholing leaves me cold. Just thinking about sliding down a hole that could taper off to narrower than your body is a horrible thought.
I refuse point blank to do cave dive or wreck penetration dives.Imagine your fear and add having to take your own air supply with you, which is decidedly limited! I know 2 people who have died in wrecks because they couldn't get back out.
I haven't had it for a year or so, but I had the strangest feeling I would die in my car, disturbingly the one I own now.
I would be driving down a local A road, I would be speeding in the eyes of the law but not too quick for the road, I would be confronted by a Vauxhall Corsa , driven by some young spunker, he would be overtaking someone and would hit me head on, endex.
I eventually changed my route and it stopped.

I've had the death in a car thing / premonition.
I'd bin it, and I'd be sat in the wreck facing my last moments. There was no fear, only the matted of fact knowing that the lights are going out. Like being sedated prior to surgery. I should imagine if the situation ever came to pass, I'd only have a little crisis over what or who my last thoughts should be of.
Hopefully though, it'll be a lucid wet dream involving Myleene Klass.
