I have a fear of getting old and waking up one morning and see the first bag under my eye and then seeing wrinkles appear little by little, then becoming old enough to be someone's grandchild. Along with that comes the realization that you're no longer "hip" according to MTV's standards. To me, that's the definition of life not being fair.
I saw an episode on TLC's Obsessed (a show that documents people who have OCD). There's was this one episode of a guy who was obsessed with plucking off his facial hair with his bare hands until there's not a SINGLE hair on his face, including his eyebrows. There was another episode of a guy with a fear of aging so he goes to the gym CONSTANTLY and taking all these vitamin pills to help him stay young for as long as possible. I think I might find myself in one of those episodes documenting my fear of aging.
I'm not worried about it too much now, but I'm afraid that fear will really kick in 13-14 years from now. Maybe longer than that because a common thing people tell me (especially those who I meet for the first time) is that I look 7-10 years younger than my actual age. This happens when I tell them how old I am. Some people guess my age right or are pretty close to it (I just realized that no one has ever guessed a number higer than my actual age), but a lot more people are taken by surprise a bit. Then they (women) start asking questions such as what do I eat or drink to stay thin and young looking or how much lotion do I put on my face? "Lotion," I reply as if to say, "WHAT?". If I keep up with the current rate, buy the time I reach 40, people will think I'm anywhere between 29-31. Men don't care as much (I'm glad they don't). Although some tell me I look young for my age, they just leave it at that and move on.
I guess that will help supress my fears for a while longer.

Okay well I hope someone here knows what I am talking about, but I am SCARED TO DEATH of a bug called a "spricket" At least I think that is the official name. I find one in my home once or twice a week and they freak me out more than I can describe. Luckily, my cat has an awesome habit of killing them, so I haven't had to deal with them as often as I did before I got my kitty.

Fear of mold, or the smell of rotten things.
I have to hold my breath and run from the room if I even see mold on bread.

Heights is a phobia i've never understood. Gives me a great sense of power looking down at things and seeing such a wondrous view. Can't wait to go cliff diving next summer.

I'm afraid of drowning. Also afraid of not having control over how things work out. (Not a control freak)
