I know there's a fear topic around here somewhere, but for the sake of time I'll post this topic. Name any fears you have that might be considered strange. For instance, I have a fear that my head will get stuck in the couch cushions and I'll suffocate. |

I have a fear of dead bugs. I don't mind them as much if they're alive, but if the bug (grasshopper, ant, spider, etc) is dead, I'm more wary. It's their unblinking eyes. It feels like they're staring at me. Not sure if there's a name for that, but I did come up with one of my own that combines "fear of insects" and "fear of dead things". Necroentomophobia |

Spiral Staircases. I dunno why, but I cannot stand them! Just something about the way that they seem to go on forever, and you can never see where you're going any more than a few feet. So creepy to me. It's even worse if it's a really narrow staircase, or you can see inbetween the steps. |

To branch off of that, glass stairs freak me out. It's bad enough I have a fear of falling from high heights (no problem with actual high heights at all), and seeing below me while I ascend just makes it worse. |

I have a fear of static electricity, everyday at school, before I'd touch my locker of just the lock, I'd do one of those "Touch something else, get a discharge" things. |

I don't like static shocks either. What I typically do is touch something very quickly to get it done and over with. |

Do you also get the whole thing where when you're high up, you get freaked out by looking UP, rather than down? |

I can't stand dead spiders too. Especially those with very long legs at end of summer. |

Another thing that makes me uncomfortable is big rooms with high ceilings. I think it's partially due to my fear of heights. |

For some unknown reason, I'm really scared of sharp objects :!. I can't even chop food without feeling nervous about the knife I'm using. I am also fearful of havin' others' blood of me due to the possibility of disease transmission. |

Elevators. I have been on them countless times, but I still don't 100% trust them. They always make a bunch of noise when they move and sound like they're just going to break down any second. |

As a matter of fact, yes I do. I have a fear of falling up so looking up while high up is definitely fear inducing for me. |

You're more likely to die from a fall down the stairs than get hurt or killed in an elevator, actually. Elevators have so many safety features, including something on the bottom to cushion the fall. While I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just very very unlikely for someone to die in an elevator-related accident. |

I'm personally afraid of monkeys becoming super intelligent and taking over the earth or spreading a globewide rage virus. On a serious note, I'm still afraid of the dark sometimes. I'm 26. |

Chef boyardee cans Every time I open them, I always manage to get cut by the lid. |

Mannequins. They scare the hell out of me when I'm in a store. I'd think it's a person at the corner of my eye only to see it be one of these things |

I have a fear of flesh eating bacteria. Are there any that aggressively attack living cells? |

Any other can that you'd need a can opener to open. |
