Gravity reversal. Like suddenly gravity switches to a universally repellent force and everything on the surface of the Earth starts falling into space (me included). Eventually you'd just "fall" away and the atmosphere too and you'd suffocate.

Holy hell wtf why did you make me think of that?! That's worse than deep water!
Showering with the lights off. And having my teeth fallen. I suffer from cavities, I don't even know why I have so many, I brush my teeth twice to thrice a day. :( so I'm seriously scared of ending toothless at some point.
Floss. I have some floss picks near my bed, computer and bathroom. I just idly use the floss picks a couple times throughout the day, usually watching YouTube or something and have only gotten 1 cavity despite going through really bad depression and poor dental hygiene.
I use floss, too. :( .every morning and night. I still don't know the reason for it. A dentist told me it was just a genetic thing and I should be way more careful than others. Another dentist told me it could probably be anemia. But I've read that bulimia causes cavities (I used to be bulimic for a long period)
Your fear is very rational then haha. It also helps to consciously scrape the front and rear tooth with the floss. Much easier to do with floss picks.
Other than that you can look into some blood work for that anemia and any other anomalies. My condolences man, that sounds so fuckin tough.
Showering in dim/no light is fucking amazing.
Hot and dark. Mmmm.
Also, I ripped one of my own teeth out at 16. (I congenitally lack 4 permanent ones so the milk teeth they were supposed to replace never fell out. Had the last one taken out at 18.) The crunchies while wiggling the tooth was actually not unpleasant. Nostalgic, it was.
Also, we're doing pretty well for a drug which could regrow teeth, so you can worry less about ending toothless.
Blowers. It's what I called pool drains (and lights and vents). Still hate them.
And this one is more of a 'it would be terrible and now I can't stop thinking about it' thing, but steep hills, and how awful it'd be to just roll back down them. In a car or on foot. You just suddenly lose control and start plummeting backwards. I got it worst when I was in San Fran.
Human interaction, but that pretty common and boring...
I take my shirt off to poop if it's convenient. It's the irrational fear of the splash back getting my shirt wet.
Aliens walking in the distance.
Like if they're running right at you with violence in mind, that is a completely rational fear, no problem.
But if I were standing on my front porch and saw an inhuman alien gray walking down the street, even if it didn't look my way, I would freak the fuck out.
Even the idea, the thought of that happening can make my hair stand on end.
Sharks in dark swimming pools
Nice try.
