Surprisingly, for someone with severe anxiety and (very) minor paranoia, I don't have many things I fear? Probably monsters in the closet is something I noticed making me nervous even as an adult.​
 
I have a pretty bad fear of spiders.
They're so... creepy and crawly and gross and I hate them! They can mind their own business and that's fine, as long as they don't touch me or come near meeeee

Two big ones for me are spiders and mirrors. x__x I am very irrationally afraid of those.

...

*imagines a room made of mirrors with spiders crawling all over it* oh no

Heights. I have no idea why, but being in skyscrapers anywhere near their windows leaves me in mortal, actively panicking terror, and I immediately get insanely tense imaginings of being outside atop their roofs with no safety equipment. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Pretty much spiders.
 
I will NOT look at mirrors in the dark. I fucking refuse.

Oh my god! Someone else that doesn't do this! XD
I never call myself superstitious, especially with things like mirrors (broken mirrors, two mirrors facing each other, etc), but there is just something eerie and creepy about a mirror in a dark room and I will do everything in my power to avoid looking at them with the lights off
 
Basketballs. And spiders
