    Vomiting sucks ass, but why would you be afraid of it to the point it is your top fear?

    I am afraid of only one thing, the dark, and spiders.

    I would rather be locked in a Fully lit room with spiders for 30 minutes, then Locked in a Pitch back room for 1 minute.

    What if the spiders are big and hairy?
    Or the ones that have a tiny body but long ass skiny legs? would you still choose the spiders?

    I would rather fight real spiders then fight the deep confines of my mind.

    Hey someone actually got the reference I was making.

    Though my real fear is being forgotten and abandon by everyone I care for.

    Apparently it is a real fear; I think it's called something like emetophobia. I only know this 'cos someone else (nearly as cool as Stalin) claimes to have - Charlie Brooker. No-one outside of the UK will have heard of him though, I imagine.

    the only fear i have is mild claustrophobia.
    i dont fear death however i do fear leaving loved ones behind when i die.

    i find it ironic that Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia describes the fear of long words

    I wasn't that afraid from bugs and spiders, living where I live there is pretty harmful spiders, brown recluse, black widow.. The only thing I'm afraid of is missing the spider and it crawling out of my sight.

    Then people are like did you know spiders like to drink your saliva? I just ignore it..

    But what I am scared of is the dark.. Who isn't?

    While it's not intense, I do freak out a little when I feel when I might get close to vomiting. For some weird ass reason, my body seems unable to burp, and drinking anything fizzy, or sporting after I just ate totally fucks up my stomach, giving me the feeling I have to vomit. I'll have to lie down to make it go away a little. However, I never vomit, even without not going to lie down, I just have this massive burp (which admittedly would look like I was throwing up anyway). It's pretty fucked up, and I have no clue what's going on, but I'm not dead, so I guess it's fine.

    Other than that, spiders can freak me out somewhat (although not Tarantula's, they're awesome), and horror movies. I mean, I know it's fake, and never going to happen to me anyway, but they still make me fucking paranoid. I can watch virtually anything else completely unfazed, though. Like this one time I watched this picture of the remains of a dude that was sucked into a plane engine. Apparently, it would scar me for life...meh, you couldn't even see it once was human anyway.

    Stephen Fry says hi.
