Honestly, the dark. I don't know if it's a glasses thing or a subconscious thing, but it always feels ominous.

The dark, I've had that fear ever since I was a little kid. Getting too close or attached to other people, because I'm scared that I'm going to get hurt. Losing the ones I love, because they mean the world to me.

My phobia is being alone.

My biggest fear is to be alone in this world full of people...

My phobias are exams, people and not being able to have a happy life.

Driving. Everyone questions me about it and I'm looked down upon or I'm told my feelings against driving are completely unnecessary and exaggerated. The second time I practised, I ran over a pole, I'd forgotten what the brakes were. I was devastated and felt like my parents hated me for weeks on end--they DIDN'T--and then I started looking up laws in my state and that made me even more anxious knowing I broken laws for vandalization and driving without temps/permit... Of course, those are very lowkey things, especially when it was a small traffic pole and I was driving in an empty parking lot... After that, I hadn't gone back to the wheel. It's partially because I'm terrified I'll forget the basic rules of driving to begin with (such as the one I forgot, which seems OBVIOUS, the brake pedal is your friend), and mostly because I just feel like I can't trust anyone on the road. If I can't trust myself, how can I trust other people? Everyone always tells me it'll get better or once I get my temps I'll be motivated, but I don't think they understand how much of an issue this fear of mine is causing me.

@IzzyReese same. I'm terrified of driving. I think its stupid that society is so dependent on driving. I hate it.

@Laura

I have Trypophobia, It is so bad that even thinking about it can set off a panic attack. My worst fear involving this is that if I scratch my skin away there are just thousands of holes underneath, It is hard to even think about skin pores sometimes.

Also, I am 99% sure that I am a hypochondriac as well.
