There are a lot of different fears around the globe. I am interested in hearing about what your fears are and if you have any idea why?. I have a fear that I only just found out about a few years ago. I was in an auction in a huge shed but the amount of people around me was huge as well. It was literally shoulder to shoulder. I have never been so crowded in my life. I just had the fear or being trapped and I had to get out. Which I did at the nearest exit. I also have a fear of major flocks of birds. Like in the Hitchcocks the birds. I have seen heaps of scary movies but that one (which is the tamer horror movie) freaked me out and gave me nightmares. I was an adult as well. Tell us you fears and a little history if you don't mind. Look forward to hearing from heaps of people.

My biggest fear is of being alone. When I was younger I lived with my grandmother and dad. Well my dad was a truckdriver and he was gone all the time. My grandmother worked kinda late or would be gone at my great grandparents. And from then on I hate being alonelike when I am alone for long periods of time I have to find something to keep my mind occupied so that I don't gat scared.

I too have 2 other fears that i forgot to mention and one of them is the fear of being alone. That is why i keep busy when I am all alone. The other fear I have is a fear of rejection. Does any one have this fear at all?

as far as i can remember, i have always been afraid of spider, bugs and moths. anyway, i also experience a similar situation like yours. it was all saints day and its part of our culture to visit the grave of relatives and loved ones and it was always crowded during days like that. traffic was really heavy. there are lots of people on the middle of the road going opposite to each other. it was really crowded and i feel like everybody is closing in on me. then suddenly, people began pushing. and i got really scared cause im sandwich between people and they just keep on pushing. i felt mix emotion of fear and anger and i couldnt deal with it and i started to cry. i feel suffocated. it was really embarassing cause there are people younger than and children who are not the least bit bothered by what was happening. and to top my embarassment off, my mother who was with me began scolding me because i totally lost it. it was totally humiliating but i couldnt help what i felt that day.

I can really understand what you went through. I nevered cried but I was only in the crowd for a few minutes. I think that you hit the nail on the head when you said about feeling suffocated. That is how I felt as well.

Yes, I have a fear of horses the only reason being is due to I had a fall when I was around the age of 12 due to a car was speeding by and it frightened the horse and due to this the horse reared up and I landed on the side of the road,k I know it was not the horse's fault but ever since this happened it has frighten me I have been on other horses since but this feeling has never gone away. I also seen this particular Hitchcock movie regarding the birds and it was scary.
