I am afraid of bugs, insects, and most reptiles. I have recurring dreams of being eaten alive by bugs. I also really don't like feeling restrained. I'm frightened to death of drowning or suffocating.

I also don't like the tub faucet!
And the line in bold made me LOL.

I have an on and off fear of dying. I really, really, really don't like the idea of not existing anymore. What's the over/under before xfrodobagginsx pops in this thread to tell my how I can avoid this fear...

Spiders are terrifying. I just imagine them carrying tiny knives or something...
Heights, but especially tall buildings, bridges, and things like that.
Clowns. IT has scarred me for life.
Blood... There's something about the smell.
Haunted houses because of the blood mostly.
Claustrophobia, especially crowded elevators.
Airplanes/flying. But, I have a superstition about them. If I step on with my left foot first, instead of the right, it makes me feel better. And then I sleep on the plane...
I have a lot of fears and sometimes I worry they're really irrational...

I have only three specific phobias. And when I say phobia I mean it. I can get a panic attack from these things sometimes...
-Heights. I can't even climb a tall later without getting hives. Other than being in an airplane (which for some reason I've never had a problem with) I can't get off of the ground without having issues. I don't even like being near large windows in tall buildings.
-Roaches, but specifically flying cockroaches. I get creeped out by any roach, but the flying ones scare me to a phobic level. I cannot handle those.
-Deep water. Especially open water. *shudder*

I'm afraid of irons! I used to ALWAYS burn myself on them. I usually throw clothes in the dryer for a few minutes if they're wrinkled. And I've been known to use my hair straightener a few times for a quick solution to a small wrinkle problem...

Wow, it seems like the things I love and find fascinating, people are afraid of lol. I love fruit bats. I think they're adorable, and very friendly. Oh, and I've had a few Madagascar hissing cockroaches as pets before, too. They're really friendly.

Come sit beside me and we can be afraid of crap together.

Mice, rats, dead things (people included) and airplanes. I have to be on enough tranquilizers to take down an elephant to even get me inside the airport let alone on a plane and in the air. Ditto for mortuaries.

Same here, except I hate ships no matter how big they are.

Small planes. I used to love flying in them with my dad but then he was killed in a plane crash.
I'll fly in big ones but never again in small and never again for pleasure.
