I know all of you each have something you're afraid of .... or a phobia... or just things that creeps or scares you....so let's share it.
And G... I know you're scared of the camera...cuz we still don't have a picture of you!
okay I'll start... I hate worms, caterpillers, slugs, anything creepy crawlers... I'm terrified of them. I cried like hell when my brother put a caterpiller on me...and I was 15!

And I'm afraid of Drowning... cuz I can't swim.
Just don't care about taking my own picture.
Growing up in Hawaii, I'd have to say snakes freak me out. I hate centipedes and those bastards hate me.
FYI you seem to swim through all of the BS pretty well. I am of the opinion that humans have the innate ability to swim like a lot of other animals. It's just about getting over that first hurdle of actually trying.

if I see a centipede...I step on them.. I hate them...ugh..
and swimming...Hell now.. well see I 'can' swim but not far. I can make it from one end to the other...but I can only swim with my head out of the water and I won't stop until I reach the other end. I also will only do it if I know that if I had to stop the water is shallow enough for me to get out of. I can't tread water... that's why I'm terrified of drowning.
I got pushed into the deep end of the pool once and I was so scared... I couldn't get back to the top so I kinda walk/crawled my way along the bottom of the pool til I reached the shallow end!
Uhhh centipedes down here bite. They don't take that kind of crap. Down here they look something like this, but they are generally a deep red/maroon color (with a bluish tinge when they get really big).
FYI the human body is generally water and our density is less than that of water and especially salt water. If you just chill (in calm water) you will float. Only a little bit of your face, but you will float.
It's all about taking baby steps. Today the dog paddle, tomorrow the length of the pool, etc.

Oak...you seriously think you're not going to find Mrs. Right? You will ...just watch.
and you owe me a movie Mr!!! NOT like I wanna see though cuz shoot I'm scared of Zombies... YES I know they're not real..but still that shit gives me the creeps... and nightmares.
my worst fear? not finding the love of my life and dying alone.
+1 except sometimes I fear that I already lost my one love ... but then I'm still young so we'll see
I also fear suffocating (especially drowning), heights (only sometimes ... when I have no control like in a rollercoaster but skydiving is cool), and somehow becoming paralyzed

Well, not everyone will float, at least not in non-salt water. Fat tissue is less dense than water, but muscle is denser than water. People with low fat and sufficient muscle to overcome the remaining human body bouyancy will sink.
I can sink to the bottom of a 9' pool and sit or lay down. If I lay down, my upper body tries to float up, but the weight of my legs keeps me on the bottom. If I exhale most of my air, I can lay almost flat.
I've done 6 laps of a 1/4 olympic lap pool completely underwater, made easier by the fact I can stay underwater without expending too much energy, applying most of that energy to forward motion.
It's cool if you like to snorkel or test your lung capacity, but I have to spend a fair amount of energy just staying afloat in water over my head and get tired faster as a result.
I am of the opinion that humans have the innate ability to swim like a lot of other animals. It's just about getting over that first hurdle of actually trying.
I dunno about that. I have tremendously low body fat, and I can't swim worth shit. If you throw me in water, I won't just sink and drown(at least not for a few minutes)... but I suck at treading water for a long time, and I can't really float, and I'm not afraid of the water.
I have tried to become a good swimmer, but it just doesn't work for me.
I think if I had more body fat, it would help me to float better.

I'm scared of heights, but in a weird way. I'm only afraid of man-made heights, like the top of a building or over a tall bridge or something. If I'm on a cliff at the top of a mountain, I'm OK. Strange, huh? What's weirder is sometimes I even get nervous standing at the base of a tall biulding and looking up.
Oh, and I used to be scared of planes, but then I flew to Russia and back and that fear had to go, or I was in for a bad flight. I live in the mountains, so I can't afford to be scared of bugs 'n things.
I hate birds.....hahaa, seriously though I'm scared of those little bastards, any type of birds for that matter. Btw Kalmairn, I've always wanted to know how to lay flat on my back on top of water. All I have to do is exhale most of my air and just relax??? I get embarrassed when I see little kids doing it
