Phobias Thread

I don't really know what I fear to be honest.
I guess Spiders is kind of a given.
I don't really know if there's a phobia of Jump Scares or anything along those line.
I don't really like loud unexpected noises (which I guess could come out of jump scares) but even something simple could put me into a frenzy.
I don't like things popping out unexpectedly, I've jumped at the sight of a Cat jumping off a wall so there's that (just to give you an example).
You could also say that I'm scared to talk to people and such. I don't really like talking on the phone and even messenging people takes effort sometimes for a few people.

I don't know if most of these are even phobias, I could just be an Anxious person which I guess makes somewhat more sense.
 
Now that I think about it, I am somewhat afraid of geese, not an ever present fear but if a goose comes walking towards me I'll probably flee.
When I was a kid I once got attacked by a group of geese (I lived in a farm and we had a lot of those and they weren't caged, they had just little ducklings and I walked too close of those and got mobbed by the mothers) they pecked me for ages until my mom came and rescued me, amazingly I am not afraid of them. Snakes on the other hand I would grab them by the tail and use them like a whip when I was a kid and now I am terrified of them...

Stupid illogical fears, I have way more reasons to fear geese than snakes but for some reason I fear the later instead :confused:.
 
I used to have a serious phobia of needles, but one day I just somehow grew out of it. Similarly, I used to have a fear of heights, but I kinda cured myself by sitting in the window of a Tokyo hotel room on the 32nd floor and reading for a few hours.

Spiders and snakes are still icky though.

Funnily enough I had the exact same experience, except I never had any run ins with snakes.
