    Default I have a whole list. Does anyone have any of these?

    - Fear of being kidnapped or attacked
    - Fear of having a fit, or seizure of some sort whilst i'm by myself. Especially when out in public. I have to be with someone at all times.
    - Fear of failure
    - Fear of losing control
    - Fear that I might all of a sudden jump in front of a car or a train and leave whoever i'm with to watch me kill myself.
    - Fear of all public transport
    - Fear of embarrassment
    - Fear of having bad luck
    - Fear of throwing up involuntarily . (I could quite easily make myself sick without batting an eyelid, but that's because i'm in control)
    - Fear of being fat

    Diagnosed Agoraphobia.

    - I'm not afraid of having seizures or fits but I do get really anxious when I'm alone I feel like everyone is looking at me in their groups going, "Look at that loner.. what a fat freak!"
    - I fear failure sooo much! I'm always scared when I forget homework or don't know something for a test. My brain will always start telling me, "You're not getting into college.. You're going to be poor forever, and your family will starve."
    - Sometimes I fear losing control too... whenever everything is unorganized in my life it feels like I need to just throw whatever it is away and go really really far away from it. Or in stores I have to organize the shelves or boxes so they are perfect. And I'll stand there for a while and if someone moves it, I'll wait for them to leave and move it back.
    - Embarrassment is a big one for me! It's almost to the point where its hard for me to talk to people because I'm afraid I'll say something stupid and everyone will be like, "shut up, please you're really retarded so go die." It sucks cause I was born with two left feet and I'm really clumsy... so you think I'd be used to embarrassment by now... nope.
    -I have a HUGE fear of being fat.... that's why I'm here. :/

    more fears I have that you didn't mention

    -Being rejected by God
    -Being rejected by people
    -Sleeping or sometimes even being in hotels/motels no matter how clean they are.

    I think a lot of people are afraid of being embarrassed, losing control and failing. This is pretty normal. It's when it gets extreme. I think anxiety pills could help you and therapy.

    I have a fear of throwing up involuntarily. I can puke by my own accord at any point if I wanted, but getting sick scares me! I also have a friend who has severe panic attacks at the word 'puke' she's only been sick once in her life and it scares her so much she's had therapy for 10 years.

    You have to remember that it's ok and NORMAL to be afraid of something, it is just when things get OTT. you cant have someone latch onto you forever, you can't plan when to have fits but in my opinion the fit thing is perfectly normal, I get scared of that too.

    lol - where do I start

    Social phobia, fear of people thinking I'm fat, or worse saying something, people laughing at me, being embarassed, having someone angry with me

    Fear of having a hear attack, losing all my teeth, getting cancer

    I have a ton of food issues (haha don't we all) but I won't eat food someone unknown has prepared, unless it's at a resturaunt (like I won't eat dinner at my mother in laws) because I'm scared it may be dirty or have hair, or spit or sneeze in it. I won't drink out of other peoples glasses. I'm afraid people may pee in them, or that they didn't wash them after using them (I've seen both things done)! Ick! I don't like my food to touch, I don't like big bites of things, I don't like to try anything unknown! I'm not even going to mention all the calorie/ fat crap.... but my biggest no no food is pop tarts. Those little buggers are 200 calories each. OMG! What a bunch of empty calories.

    I'm afraid of hotels. I hate them. If I have to stay in one I will bring my own pillow and two comforters. One thick one to lay underneith me and one to go over me. I will not even pull their nasty duvet down. I won't go barefoot, and only shower if I absolutely have to (like a long trip) when I get home I throw everything in the dryer that fits, and the stuff that doesn't fit I try to either freeze or heat up really hot because I'm afraid of bedbugs infesting my home.

    I'm a control freak and I hate being a passenger in a car. I have to drive. Or I'm afraid the driver might kill us. Unintentionally, of course.

    That's just a few. I'm a freak. My family has made a joke out of it, but they accept my issues.

    Mine are:
    Public places, especially crowds
    Needles
    Subways/trains (I always have a weird feeling I'll accidentally jump in front of it)
    Open water
    Tendons (I just hate them, especially when they stick out like strings waiting to be cut... Haha I'm a freak, sorry)

    From least to most:

    Fear of disease spreading bugs, esp. ticks
    Fear of getting old
    Fear of neurological or brain related disease (esp. brain cancer/stroke)
    Fear of being on a boat
    Fear of needles (I used to be fine with this, now I faint every time I am poked)
    Fear of being fat
    Fear of lack of access to a bathroom (even if I don't have to go)
    and the biggest of all:
    Fear of vomit and nausea, mine or anyone else's. (If I am on a plane, purely based on emotion, I would rather the plane crash than have to hear someone nearby get airsick.)
