My greatest fear remains to be "heights", I am agoraphobic. I am afraid to mountain and wall climbing, afraid to go skyride and roller coaster and everything that has elevation. How about you?

I haven't really get to know my greatest fear yet. I am not scared of heights, darkness, flying or other extreme things. My fear could be something about my worries about my close people. Sometimes I get worry about my family members without any reason. They are like a foreboding but I hope it doesn't have a real reason. Whenever I think of something bad can happen with my family members I try and block these fears because bad thinking can come true... Thoughts have a power.

I am afraid of a few things, snakes and spiders come to mind. I am also an extreme extrovert, so I am afraid of being alone. But I do have a real phobia, I have agoraphobia which is fear of the market place. What triggers mine is crowds. If I am in a crowd be it in an amusement park or Wal-Mart I can start to hyperventilate and pass out. It has only been a problem a couple of times in my life. Once when I was with my sister in Europe we where riding the overnight train from Paris to Nice. We were in a 50 person group and you only have like minutes to get off the train so we where all lined up ready to get off the train when I suddenly almost passed out. It made my sister really upset to say the least. But we got off the train alright and as soon as I could get some air I was fine.

As for me I don't like snakes. I cannot stand the sight of them they just give me the kreeps. Once I saw this snake I was so afraid that I did not go out of the house. I waited for some people to get rid of it before I came out.

I have Pyrophobia - I have a big fear of fire. When I was ten I went to visit my father and grandfather in Texas. We were to go camping in their camper trailer. My grandfather had to fix something and didn't hook the propane up right. My father, luckily, had went to work early in the morning. When my grandfather tried to make coffee there was a backdraft explosion. I was covered in first, second, and third degree burns. He was as well, but didn't survive. It was a very painful experience and I have feared fire ever since. Sometimes I even have minor panic attacks when people are grilling or tending to a fireplace. I'm usually okay as long as I'm not doing it though.
