What Scares You

Awww! It's so cute

Actually, disturbingly, it is.

Though I would never go near one.

True enough.

I'm not scared of spiders but I dislike them being inside my house.
I never kill them, though. I usually just put them outside.

Slimy- wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Seriously, I hate this stereotype. Hagfish are slimy. Frogs, at some points, are slimy. your kid brother with a cold is slimy. Snakes are dry and smooth.
Scaly- their scales are smooth; most snakes have better skin than many humans I've met
tongues- isn't it instinct for us to smell someone close to us? that's what the tongue-flicker is for snakes
bonecrushing- ever eaten a hotdog? it's the same thing basically, except ground up which is worse.

It's not a stereotype. Stereotypes are based on what certain members of a group are like; they just involve inaccurate/unfair generalizing regarding most or all members. This is just a wrong statement; no snakes are slimy (to the best of my knowledge anyway).

Well, whatever. It just really gets on my nerves when people say "reptiles are slimy", when pretty much none of them are.

I actually can't think of a single living reptile that is slimy.

And no, frogs aren't reptiles. Frogs are Amphibians.

It's kinda strange that you'd get so offended over my exaggeration. :<

Wasps and Scorpions scare the **** out of me. Dunno why.

This.

Heights and any kind of flying bug---like moths...

Why do I find this fly cute?

Actually, I find them so annoying that I'd wish their reaction time WASN'T twice that of a human's so I could KILL THEM ON SIGHT!

Mushrooms bigger than my hand in cap size frighten me. I have no idea how Mario can eat those.

Does look kinda yummy, though?

To me, homophobia is like the new racism. I see tons of people at school making fun of gay people and they tend to get really pissed.
I mean, sexuality is genetic, so people can't change whether or not they're gay. People can't change their skin color either. But they stopped annoying them.

Also, don't think that I don't think gay sex isn't disgusting, because it is. Although that doesn't mean I need to piss all over someone if they dream about it (eww).

On topic:
I tend to be slightly afraid of heights. Although gym class helped a little bit, because you got to jump off things with a harness on (very fun), I get really scared of heights without a harness on. Hell, I'm afraid of walking too close to the railing in a mall because of my fear of heights.
I also have a fear of bugs, because all kinds of bugs just creep me out. Though I know that honey bees won't sting you unless you harm or threaten them, I steer clear of them as well.
I tend to be really, really afraid of sharp, pointy objects, and sharp pains. Whenever I watch a movie, I can look at someone's head lying on the ground, but I can't watch someone get stabbed to death. It's just gruesome. I also for the same reason hate sharp pains, needles, etc. I would rather die a slow, painful death as opposed to getting stabbed and dying right there. It's that bad.

Yep, those. Pics don't frighten me, but put one next to me in real life and I'll just back away...slowly...

Is that top pic a real mushroom?

Yep, it's a swedish "röd flugsvamp".

That mushroom looks quite poisonous, the top one.
