What’s your kryptonite, any strange ones out there. I’m ok with the usual stuff like spiders and creepy crawlies. Mannequins they always freak me out.
Some strange ones
Koumpounophobia - the fear of buttons
Orniphobia - the fear of birds

What are you afraid of?
 
The obvious spiders !
my main thing is, when you see things on tv where your watching through the persons eyes ( first perspective ) and they are going through a forest,and the sticks/bushes etc are in your face

getting promoted and losing riverside live.
At least it would only be for a season
 
I hate heights, unless I am in an enclosed room or plane etc in which case i am absolutely fine. Actually, I am not sure whether it is heights (acrophobia) that is therefore the fear or whether its the fear of falling (basophobia), probably the latter i suppose. I also don’t like spiders, but I can at least deal with them when I need to.

I’m the same Col, am absolutely fine in a plane but can’t even watch people bungee jumping.

Also spiders can f*** off. Not money spiders but the big house spiders that sneak about in your front room. Fortunately we have a cat who likes to catch them!
 
Birds for me - not at a distance, in fact I quite like watching birds. But if I have to touch one I am physically shaking. I don't know why but it's something about the fluttering and unpredictability. I'm getting better though through overexposure as our cat is bringing in several live ones a week :ROFLMAO:

Heights too, but only if there's a rail I could chuck myself over. Went up the tallest lighthouse in France - there was a spiral staircase up the inside of it with a massive drop down the middle and I was sweating.
 
I used to have Mortuusequusphobia a fear of Tomato Ketchup but got fixed on TV.

It's name comes from Mort meaning dead and equ relating to horse. Apparently some aussies use the rhyming slang "dead horse" to mean "red sauce".
 
I don't know what it's called, but when I was a kid I used to be terrified of things without a face.
Stuff like this used to proper shıt me up.

I worked with someone who had a fear of Dwarves.
One of my kids was terrified of people dressed in all in one costumes (like mascots - Rory etc)

That sounds so fake I’m sure it’s true!
