Disappointing you. 😢
It’s not a phobia, but I do have that weird thing where I feel apprehensive when thinking about going up to high places because I think there’s a chance I’ll randomly decide to jump off it for whatever reason.

Got 3 and two of them didnt develop until I was in my teens.
1.closed spaces. As long as I got a window I can see out of I am good. But a room I can't see outside from bugs me big time.
2.Heights,use to never bother me.then I fell from Victory Tower 33 feet and ripped my left bicep during all this. Since then I don't go more than 4 foot off the ground without sshaking and sweating.
3.Needles,If it wasn't for this fear Iwould be covered in tattoos. But something from my past made me be scared of needles and even just getting a shot or having blood drawn is a test. I can't see the needle go into my skin or come out.

Enclosed spaces. I’ve seen videos of people caving/spelunking and I couldn’t think of a more miserable time. f*** that!

Enclosed spaces, heights, and large snakes. Enclosed spaces. I’ve seen videos of people caving/spelunking and I couldn’t think of a more miserable time. f*** that! Those scenes in movies where people are crawling through air ducts always get me.

I had a pretty terrific memory but around 2009 I started developing epilepsy (undiagnosed for a few years), I was okay with it but 2017 I started to forget stuff fairly often leading to early 2018 and having a big seizure, I have trouble remembering stuff at times like peoples names or simple names of things, guess what I'm taking a long winded to say is, I have a fear of forgetting, like it will gradually get even worse I think it's called Athazagoraphobia Same here. A major seizure left me legally dead, for a few minutes, in 2011. Since then, I have tons of memory books. (And forgetting people is AWFUL.)

Astraphobia - Thunder Storms.
I'm ok if there a good distance away, the light rumbling can be quite soothing.. But when a big one is directly over head, my anxiety really goes up.. I retreat indoors where I think it's safe. In a spot that's furtherest from any window, if I'm in a car at the time I will not leave it (unless its in a garage or something) till the storm passes because I know if a car is hit my lightning people inside will most likely be safe.
Yeah it's the fear of thinking the weather wants to kill me by electrocution or exploding glass. The sudden loud noise is another, the last few years I found wearing something noise canceling makes sitting through a thunder storm more bearable.

I don’t do well with bees and yellowjackets, largely due to allergies that could kill me.

I get a weird vertigo sensation when I look up at talk buildings. I am totally fine being up there, but being in the presence of a large building almost makes me need to lie down.
Not necessarily a fear, but I do have a quick session of panic around wasps after getting stung quite badly by one when I was 5 years old.

This poll should've included death and public speaking. I feel like those are among the big five of fears.

Ooh, there is a pure nightmare story I read about a guy who died in a cave that stick with me. I won’t name anything to save you from the curse of curiosity, but my god, I struggle to think of a worse way to go.

Always been afraid of deep water. Couldn't learn to swim because of it.
Spiders. Always.
I have, like, an opposite fear of heights where I hate looking up at tall buildings. Someone else mentioned it.
Enclosed spaces. Watched someone on youtube making their through the smallest cave ever and it was a struggle getting through it (through the video, I mean... though, he did struggle to get through the cave, too).

That cave is closed off now, but I wonder if they’ll ever change their mind and go recover his remains.

Thalassophobia. Basically the fear of large bodies of water, and what sort of sea monsters could possibly be lurking in there.
Even an average lake makes me nervous that there could be a kraken or Loch Ness Monster lurking in there to devour me.

I have a fear of loud noises. I'm not sure how it originated, but I remember being very young and living near a rifle range and just crying because the sound of the rifles shooting scared the hell out of me. I have to have earplugs if I go watch a fireworks show and thunderstorms genuinely frighten me because of how loud the thunder is. I even get jumpy at the sight of bright flashes of lightning. Again, not sure why exactly, but it is troubling.

Ladders. I can skydive, hang glide and parasail, but standing on top of those frellers makes me tremble. I also do not care how high up I am to admire a view as long as the railing or wall is chest high.
