I've also got a fear of heights.

I don't mean the fear of falling off of heights, or even the fear of being in a high place. I literally get absolutely terrified when I look at tall buildings. (Though I also freak out when I am in a high place)

This is why I live in a small village.

I did manage to face my fears and climb up to the first floor of the eiffel tower.

Before anyone says that the first floor isn't very high...

The first floor is lowest the bit in the middle that connects the four legs of the tower.

I didn't know whether to look up, and see how big the tower was, or down, and see how high I was. And when I tried to look straight forward I just got the worst of both worlds.

I can't stand spiders. Tarantulas aren't that bad because they usually move slowly and are furry, it's the big (or little) spindly ones I can't stand, make my stomach turn. I also hate losing spider, you try to catch it then it runs under the couch or something.

That last one makes me ♥♥♥♥ sick. If I saw that I would probably get a deodorant can and a lighter and burn those suckers to hell, that or move house.

Ugh....

Spiders scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of me.

Those pictures have scarred me.

And I've been on ED.

Word of advice from someone who also hates spiders. Don't try that if they're on the ceiling, unless you want burnt, angry, fast, panicked spiders jumping from the ceiling onto your arms.

Oh god that was a horrible experience. :roll:

I suffer from Arachnophobia, Acrophobia, and a lesser-known phobia called Altocelarophobia (Fear of high ceilings), the last one is my biggest fear, and I don't even really know WHY I fear high ceilings.

I have a couple of really weird (one of which is stupid) spider stories, I'm not sure DRL cares enough to listen, though. You want me to post 'em?

Yes, please.
One time I was watching TV at night with all the lights off. When I was looking for the remote my hand brushed over a spider and it rolled under my hand, I had a heart attack and died THE END. (True except for the pert where I died)

I have a slight fear of sharp things, like knives.
I just grew up watch lots of people cooking cut their hands.

Ugh. I shudder with disgust when I picture that.
