Interestingly enough, I had a big fear of dogs. I don’t really know why because I’ve never had a traumatic experience with them (thank God I never got bitten).
I also feared being alone, darkness (but not much) and heights. Woah, I was a fearful kid.
Today, well, I only fear those big, aggressive dogs like kangals and rottweilers. As for darkness and loneliness, nah.
Yeah, the dog thing for me too. I got bit by a dog like once and now even the smallest dogs really scare me. I actually feared cats too but I have one now and the fear is totally gone. I still have this crippling fear of social interactions. Face to face, yeah, but especially phone calls. I got over the darkness thing when I got my own room. Now I can’t sleep with lights on. Still got the fear of heights I also had a fear of insects and rodents like say cockroaches or rats. Mostly OK now. I also got a fear of basketballs for a while because some kid hit my face with one in 5th grade. I was really a scaredy kid lol.
