When I was really young I used to be afraid of sculptures and paintings of people. Then one day, we went to a museum with replicas of Greco-Roman sculptures. I ran out crying.

I'm irrationally afraid of home invasion. I have CCTV set up around my house that I can keep an eye on using a separate monitor, because I used to constantly get up and check every room in the house with a flashlight whenever I heard a strange noise. Now I can do it all from my desk using night vision cameras.

Oh yeah, i also used to be afraid of thunder, not so much the lightning, the thing that could actually be dangerous, nope, just the thunder

And the dark, i hated small dark places

But it didn't take me that long to get over those fears, and now i actually like looking outside when there's a storm, it's almost relaxing in a way

when I was like 6 and I got pokemon fire red I was scared stuffless of snorlax and weepinbell
there was a sticker of weepinbell in my sticker book and I was so loving scared of it I had my mom take it off and stow it somewhere
and when I got to the part where you had to use the flute on the snorlax or whatever i made my mom do it and it took her like a day

right now i'm acrophobic and if you put me anywhere near a roosterroach i die

The dark (duh.) the only reason it's strange is b/c of how I got it and also that I still have it
I have a fear of looking directly up in large places (i.e. malls) due to myself thinking either the floor or roof will give way.
