I have a fear of shrimp. Not like a ... "ohh they're gonna hurt me" kind of fear... just a "omg look how small and slimy and gross they are" kind of fear. Especially when they're gray and uncooked. Blahh!
Wow! I did not know so many other people were afraid of vomiting. I thought I was some kind of freak, but apparently not.
Aside form that, my biggest fears are spiders and the ocean. The spider thing I think needs no further explanation. My ocean fear kind of goes along with my fear of vomit, because everytime I have been in a boat on the ocean, I or someone else on the boat has gotten seasick. I also am afraid of all the things that live in the ocean and the vast openess of it. Plus, I can't breathe water.
I had no idea vomiting was a fear until this little discussion post. I'm glad I started it! I have a huge fear of spiders and I love the ocean in the sense it's beautiful but if I'm deathly afraid of sharks!! Which live in the ocean. Causes a bit of a problem for me because I won't go too far out in the water and am afraid to learn to surf or wind sail.. etc.
My irrational fear would be conspiracy and like the world ending -- all that government coverup/conspiracy, religion, world ending in 2012 type stuff scares the crap out of me -- I feel paranoid for a looong time after I hear something in relation to those type things.
My biggest fear is keeping myself from reaching and living up to my full potential because of my love for others (family, friends..). I also have a fear of failing.
I think all my fears tie into one meaning, tho -- I'm afraid of somethng directly related to myself -- to my own spirit.
