    Spiders and just mostly all bugs in general (Apart from butterflies and stick insects)

    I think it originated when I used to spend so much time in the garden when I was little. I would sit on the grass next to the rabbit hutch even though there were loads of creepie-crawlies there. There was also a fish pond with loads of flies buzzing around it. Over time massive ugly creatures with 6 or 8 legs just became scary. But seriously, I cry and scream whenever I see even the tiniest spider XD

    I think the reason I'm not scared of butterflies or stick insects is because butterflies just aren't typically scary, and we kept stick insects as class pets once. I still cant pick ANY insect up though.

    Oh and my mum is scared of cockroaches and I also know tons of people who are scared of heights or the dark.

    I have a phobia of dying alone without a relationship/marriage.

    I guess my phobia has probably come from the low amount of self acceptance I have and the endless romantic films I have watched.

    I don't expect anyone to like me but I am scared of it being true.

    I have the phobia of being the centre of attention...and I guess my phobia stems from being mocked at when I tried to play volleyball for the first time, but I couldn't serve well.
