I have various types of fears/phobias. Some lay dormant for a long time, some occur more frequently.
I am afraid of getting on escalators (thanks to Madison Square Garden), elevator doors closing on me, and flying - so basically I prefer to drive and take the stairs.
I am afraid of going on things that are really fast AND go upside down - so no roller coasters for me.
I am afraid of confrontation and therefore, avoid it at all costs (I am currently working on this one, it effects many aspects of my life).
I fear losing my children and I fear not being there for my children as they grow up - these cause many other fears, like getting into a car accident and things that will cause me to lose my children or not be there for them.
I was afraid to travel into the city or up to Rochester to meet some TFPers. I am not really sure the reason behind this fear, but I conquered it!! (Maybe this one should be put to a test again...)
I am sure there are more, if I took the time to think of them. But these are what came to mind first.
