But,i don't afraid of darkness or the night.
actually,those both things can make me feel really calm,i love the chilly nights and the darkness,it just make me somehow feel safe and at ease

That's my mate Big Grin

BTW I also used to be afraid of spiders especially after a certain incident which involved big, hairy creature speeding up my quilt while I was about to fall asleep, but then, in google, I saw a cool image of huge white tarantula. I liked it so much that this um............arachnophobia just vanished. Big Grin

Fear of doctors made me laugh Big Grin

I'm about to become one.

Fomzo: I'd never thought I'd think of a tarantula as beautiful... o_o

On topic: For some reason, I freak out (more than a normal person would, I think) whenever there are flying insects. Besides butterflies, dragonflies, and moths. I hate having flies and the like touch me. I remember having a nightmare when I was a kid where a single fly was crawling up my arm. If I'm outside for a minute and there are insects flying around, as soon as I go inside again it feels like my skin is crawling, even though I'm safe.
Not sure if this is a phobia I have or just a huge annoyance with flying insects.

That must have really sucked for you in amnesia when your sanitys low enough that you start seeing flys crawling all over your face...

So far it looks like heights, enclosed spaces, spiders, and the dark are winning.

And of course, fear of very deep water.

This is more or less what I'd hoped for. I'm still waiting until next week to close the poll, though, so send in any of your horror-gaming friends who might give their input.

Try some more images of this one and watch some YT videos. Heteroscodra maculata is a jump master Big Grin

Get used to the "spiderity" and your phobia will pass away, as did mine.
