Chilhood fears

[Bluecobia]

I would say fear of heights and the possibility of falling. I don't like stand on a cliff edge on the edge of a building.

Snakes, snakes, snakes. That's always been my number one fear. Really, it's more of a phobia. I can't handle seeing a picture of one, check to make sure there isn't one in my toilet before I sit down and have to turn off images on my browser if I ever have to google something about them.

I was also scared of little children acting creepy in horror movies (still gets me) and clowns. Both of those things still freak me out.

Spiders and total complete darkness.

When I was a child I used to be afraid of dolls, teddy bears and any animals with furr. Now I'm not really afraid of those things but I abhor mosquitoes, rats and just anything creepy-crawly.

[Anjum]

Cockroaches and lizards are my worst fears.

[Mailis]

Aliens. Because my older brother liked scaring me when I was little, so he made up these realistic stories that at night aliens would come to our house and there would be a light emitting crack in the bedroom wall and alien hand would come out and so on. And at the time the papers wrote some speculation stories about aliens, so I believed it all because after all even the papers wrote about it.

I was and still am scared of spiders - it's in control enough to not mind seeing them on TV and to cope with a little one in the same room, but I still would have the screaming ab-dabs if a big fat hairy one actually made physical contact. A slightly stranger one is fungi - when I learnt there could be things growing in the garden or a field that could kill me it freaked me out. To this day I only eat mushrooms pre-packed from a recognised source!

I had a childhood feae of eating vegetables , I also thought my parents where lying and just wanted to punish me.

@Jumpman23_ I was okay about most veg when I was a kid, but to this day I am still firmly convinced that spinach is the Devil's Crop!

[Sakilunamermaid]

I have always had a fear/ issue with making sure my feet don't go over the edge of the bed uncovered. I still somehow think something can grab me. I had a nightmare the other night that someone grabbed my foot and woke up with a scream.

Cockroaches and snakes. I just can't bear these two. I also have a fear of darkness, but only when I'm alone.

[Micheal Ukewuihe]

I have succeeded in overcoming my childhood fears but my fear back then was fire.

[Favy Moses]

As a child my greatest fear would be height and big water.
