Do you have any unconditional, uncontrollable or intense 'fears' of anything? Fear of heights, clastrophobia, arachnophobia, etc~ Most people in the world suffer from some sort of immense fear of something..Some even suffer from 'antinomial phobias' such as Barophobia (fear of gravity), Logophobia (fear of words), and Xanthophobia (fear of the color yellow), to name only a few...To those who have a phobia, the fear is real, despite how strange or 'ridiculous' it may sound to the rest of the world~ I have arachnophobia, ever since a spider fell from the ceiling onto me as a small child..Do you have any you would like to share, and why you may possibly have that phobia(?)

From the childhood, I always have the fear of water. Hydrophobia. The rivers, the oceans, a big water tank etc. are to be out of sight.

I don't have a true 'fear' of heights, (to an extent, at least) yet skydiving is something I would definately be AFRAID OF!~ :)
