What are your fears (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello everyone

So I have a rather unusual fear of butterflies and a fear of darkness. The first one is definitely the fear that has confused lots of people in my life. I can't explain it, for some reason I am just afraid of them. If one even comes near me, I completely freak out. The latter is a rather childish fear of mine. I don't know why I'm afraid of the darkness specifically, but I know that I can't stand it.

So what are your fears?

Aliens. Ever since I was a child and watched an alien documentary with my parents on yhe history channel, and my dad kept saying that they were going to abduct me. I've sat in my room motionless before, watching an unexpected alien movie or show on TV, because I was afraid they would teleport into my room and abduct me. I sometimes still fear the dark because I feel as if aliens might sneak up on me. Im in me 20s now and still feel that tingle when I hear alien music or watch something about aliens alone.
