    What's the big worry ? sure when you are asleep you won't know they are crawling over you, just remember that all of these little creatures will crawl over you just to get to their destination as they never stay on you, well except if it was a tick, those little blighter's will bury their head into your skin and suck on your blood and of course you will need a tweezers to remove this parasite and the head also, ye don't want to leave the head in there and only tweezer out the main body ;)

    Did I say night? I now mean week :(

    what are you most afraid of? ive a phobia of tight spaces. I hate lifts and the thought of getting stuck in one. my idea of a nightmare would be getting my head stuck in railings. those big slides you see in playgrounds and water parks, you know the ones with the huge, long dark tunnels where it takes a couple of minutes to get to the end? hate those.

    I think it likely stems from childhood where my brother would shove my face into the corner of the couch and smother me inside it. the darkness and lack of control.

    those situations where there is no immediate escape and lack of control put the fear in me. I've never been on those massive rollercoaster rides for reason. that and the motion sickness, and heights.

    large heights make me uneasy. being in the upstairs department of a shopping centre and looking over the bannister down below gives me thoughts of someone coming up from behind and pushing me over.

    I hate rats and the feeling of them crawling all over me. funny enough, I don't fear spiders and don't get the widespread phobia of them at least the small ones.
    Heights, confined spaces, large crowds, blindness, another heart attack and the thought of outliving my daughters, grand children and my great granddaughter. I wonder how I sleep at night, maybe it's the vodka.

    When playing what I call 'petrol roulette' so my fear would be running out of petrol in a tunnel where there's no hard shoulder. According to my estimations there should be another 50 miles left :pac:

    Also getting Alzheimers. And not waking up when the surgeries over due to me having an allergic reaction to the general anaesthesia and suffocating.

    I always had the dread of breaking down in some remote location in the days before mobile phones.

    Choking.

    That feeling when something snags in your throat for a split second is horrendous.

    In the days before mobile phones there was and still is a communication system of repeaters for the use of Ham radio. The communication was very long distance and all you needed was a ham radio transmitter walkie talkie or a base radio in your car, that was how some folk used direct communication to others long long before the mobile phone was invented, and it's still used widely today all over the world. And if you were in an emergency, all you had to do was call for help.

    I have trypophobia. It's horrific. :(

    Oh and I can't deal with people touching their eyes (or someone elses), or talking about putting in contacts or something in their eye. Anything eyeball related basically.

    "Quote" doesn't want to work for me but I remember the days of CB radio and I was a fan and got a lot of pleasure from it but the range was dismal.

    Have you never licked another person's eyeballs or had someone lick yours?

    I'll be a bit more honest now after thinking about it for a while...

    I think my main fear would be death after-all, scared of the unknown while being alone, not existing physically any-more. But I hope I don't see this on my travels with attached music because I would kill myself (but I'm already dead) sheeeeeeit.

    Snap. Severe claustrophobic here.

    Me 2. Went to Saturday morning pictures in the 60s. There was a film called "The Man in The Iron Mask". It absolutely frightened the Dickens out of me. Nightmares for weeks after.

    Never seen the film since, seen the remakes and they're meh but not the original - not that I've been looking too hard :o
