| A bit acrophobic, but with will power can get over a lot of it.
Not too claustrophobic, but don't like crawling thru a 3-foot diameter sewer pipe.
I do not like to fly - not so much the acrophobia as the thot of free falling in a plane and knowing that you and everyone else screaming on board are dead.
I don't fear vomiting but it is not a favored activity for me - one reason I stopped getting drunk.
I like rodents - think they are cute. I think Cobalt Blue Tarantulas are beautiful. I can speak publicly, on the open plains in a storm - no problem. | |

| Rats and confined spaces. Everything else on that list is either non issue for me, or I can tolerate even if I don't care to do it (like public speaking). | |

| I am the claustrophobe. I have to have an escape route planned out wherever I am. It isn't as dramatic as it sounds. I have to sit on the aisle in a movie theater, stuff like that.
I am not afraid of death so much, but of all the horrible things that can happen instead of death! I am afraid to even say them!
I am not afraid of plane crashes. Being a LOSTie, it kind of romanticized them for me. | |

| I'm only afraid of death if it means dying young. | |

| I dislike about 1/2 of that list (spider, rats, vomiting, closed spaces) but I wouldn't say I'm afraid of any of it. Except maybe death. | |

| I don't have phobias about any of these but I'm not saying they couldn't cause me to be uncomfortable. If I saw a big fat spider crawling onto my shoulder from the corner of my eye you can bet your ass I'll probably get a little excited. Same thing if I'm on a plane and it drops 1,000 ft in a matter of seconds (as I've experienced). I still get on planes. | |
