I forgot... rollercoasters!

My parents took me to a theme park for my 13th birthday. :P It didn't work out too well...

I get that too, when playing some video games. Especially games like Mirror's Edge.

For me that falls into my phobia of terrible games that I shouldn't have wasted money on...

It was definitely one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. Hell, I could have talked about this in the Frustrating Games thread from way back. Still, I really enjoyed the Time Trials. It was fun trying to beat your "shadow". I thought that idea was brilliant, as it tempted you to keep trying.

Being on bridges, all I can see is the bridge collapsing when it has a lot of cars on it. The fear isn't a bad after went across the golden gate bridge during rush hour.

I'm thinking more of the terrible controls on the xbox version, the laughably bad storyline and the shallow characters. Seriously, how long had I known the last boss? A total of 2 minutes, come on! Also, anyone that didn't see the "twist" with the woman in white coming from a mile away with the headlights on is either an idiot or has never seen a movie or game in their life.

I hate Mirror's Edge with a fiery passion. But I'll stop and get back on topic.

Husks in ME2 creep me the hell out, not sure why...

Any kind of painful slow killing disease.

Also mice. I [censored] hate mice.

Here is a comprehensive list of things that I am afraid of (not necessarily phobias though):

-Highly enclosed spaces (as in, so enclosed that one could barely move)
-Large spiders
-Death
-The process of dying
-Aging
-Hair loss
-Giving speeches/presentations
-Conversing with people that I don't know
-Becoming infatuated with power

Needles, which is going to be difficult as I'm going in for an operation tomorrow. A chance to conquer my fear I suppose.

I'm afraid of failure.

I think it's because my parents are always pushing me to succeed, the thought of letting them down doesn't sound so great. Also because failure could mean I'm stupid somehow, which also does a number on me.

Spiders, mostly. And centipedes. There's just... there's something about the way they move.
*shudder*

Also, failing to be self-sufficient. I hate depending on others for my well-being.

I am not good with heights, and there is no way I would go on the http://www.softsailor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Sears-Tower-Glass-Balconies-02.jpg. It makes me feel bad just looking at the picture.

Me, I can't think of anything right now. Though I am only young and haven't had a lot of things happen to me/seen a lot of things yet. The only thing I have which can come close to a fear would be my body going reeeaaaly dizzy when I get a needle stuck in me, not that I am afraid of them, though.

Hmmm. I never thought of that. I sure don't want to be grounded at the wrong time.
