Childhood fears?

[Matthias Steel]

I know almost every little kid is afraid of the dark and monsters, that's a given.
Even so, what were you guys afraid of as a kid? Anything specific?

I for one had a bunch of ridiculous fears that when I think back on them, made no sense whatsoever.


Not even joking. At 7 years old, I had a legitimate crippling fear of the following:

Spoiler below!

-the dark/shadows (obviously.)
-fire
-volcanoes
-earthquakes
-tornadoes
-hurricanes
-tsunamis
-spiders (I hallucinated a huge tarantula running towards me once, and I ended up hitting my head on a door frame and passing out. 8C )
-pigs/boars
-aliens
-zombies
-missles/nukes
-ogres
-ghosts
-serial killers, Jeffery Dahmer in particular
-tapeworms and bot flies
-drowning
-the planets exploding
-meteors
-black holes
-other people
-cars

Please note that I love in suburban Pennsylvania. We don't have any natural disasters besides one small tornado every 20 years.
I don't even know how I knew what half of this stuff was. >:[

i bet you have OCD.

I was terrified of being murdered as a child.
I was afraid that somebody would break down the front door and kill me.
and If I left the house, I was always afraid that somebody was hiding in my house planning to kill me.

Another fear was y2k as a kid, I was 10 and had a vivid imagination, so all the jokes and theories leading up to new years scared the living SHIT out of me. I seriously thought the world was going to literally BLOW UP for no reason.

Since then, I've had the typical fears.

And when I was like 2, I was afraid of fluff.

lol i was 10 on y2k as well, i think the only way i found out about y2k was from the wrestler y2j. i don't remember being scared though. and how did you get the fear that someone would murder you?..a kid just doesn't think that for no reason.
