I have an illogical fear of large empty swimming pools. It's totally irrational but I'd be too frightened to look at one let alone stand in it.

Corners and still water (not the drink) like reservoirs and lochs

Toes. They make my stomach churn and it gets worse as its summer (ha ha!) and everyone goes about in flip flops.

i can't even stand my own. OH has to trim my toe nails as I can't bear it.
Someone paid for a pedicure for me once and I had to give it away as I would have been sick.

Ghosts. Which I dont even believe in.

Ha ha, yes me too Grin ! How can you be scared of something you know doesn't exist? Yet, I am. Glad I'm not the only one, though.

Cheese sauce touching mashed potato. I have to build a barrier between the 2. In a similar theme sweet corn mixed in with peas makes me uncomfortable.

Yes to boats out of water. Ugh. Do not EVER google Teignmouth Electron....

Also any large underwater structures: the legs of a pier, oil rigs, life buoys. Can't stand looking at underwater shipwrecks.

The blue whale in the Natural History Museum terrified me as a child.

Holes. The T-word thing.

When you can see women's rib cages above their cleavage. Makes me feel sick.

Robots. Monkeys. They will take over one day...!
That bear walking on its hind legs like a person. URGH.

Mushrooms. No idea why. Think it's the brown but underneath. Just find them weird.

The vastness of space and time (which given my favourite genre is scifi) is very challenging
Not existing anymore - thinking about that can make me very anxious.

Dolls and clowns.
People (especially toddlers) eating round things like grapes, cherry tomatoes etc or anyone tipping crisp packet dregs or shovelling peanuts and popcorn into their mouths. I'm thinking Choking hazard the whole time.
