What thing are you most afraid of, and what is your phobia called (if it has a name)?
I have pteronarcophobia, the fear of flies. Ask Zacharias, he knows.

I have an irrational fear of irrational fears. I'm gonna cry in a corner for posting in this thread.
Edit: No, but seriously. At what point does a fear become "irrational"? Honest question because I have some fears but I have no idea if they would count as irrational.
Heights. I always seem to go all mental whenever I go up to a high spot. I don't know why though.
I have this bizarre fear that the ceiling in my bedroom is going to leak anytime it rains.
It never, ever does, but as a result, I can barely sleep when it's raining.

Actually, I guess "irrational" wouldn't be the word… What's your biggest fear, if you have one?
Also, the fear of fears is phobophobia.
Any injury or surgery involving the eyes, bones, or brain.
Because biology makes things sound way worse than they really are
I have a fear of oblivion. The thought of being forgotten freaks me out. I don't know why.

I'm Agoraphobic.
I actually use to have a HUGE fear of the dark if I was told to take out the trash at night I would run like a retard and back into the house ASAP. But now all that stuff improved…for the most part it is now more of a minor to a very small fear, only due to paranoia.
But my new MAJOR fear is the death of all intelligent life in all of existence, not just in this universe but the multiverse as well. But it's virtually impossible to do such a thing so I am kind of happy by that fact, but thinking about it can scare the shit out of me…
When i'm alone I feel like some spirit is there. Just standing there, judging me.

Sorry, that's me. I'll leave you alone…
I'm scared of the usual spiders and such, but I have an incredible fear of heights.
At what point does a fear become “irrational”?
A "fear" becomes irrational when the hatred/anxiety caused by the prescence of an object is… well, irrational. For example, its one thing to be scared of snakes, but it's another thing to be scared of the movie "Snakes on a Plane" for containing snakes.
I fear losing the game. It just seems so frightening.

I would say arachnophobia, but that's perfectly rational. Nobody likes spiders.

Crabsarescaryphobia.
Because crabs are goddamn scary. All pichy-pinch and crawly-crawl.
I have apiphobia, which is the fear of bees.
These fuckers:
The longer I go without getting stung, the less fear I have. It gets to a point were I tolerate them. But if I get stung, I become a nervous wreck.

Same here.
But anyway I'm pretty afraid of falling off from heights and i do have a crippling fear of bees.The main reason is because i never got stung before i i don't know if I'm allergic or not. It's driving me insane.

I have a fear of fungi :
I will survive any means necessary.
I fear death, and I will over come that.
By killing death itself.
I'm pretty paranoid about stuff. Like things I did or did not do,choices I made,things I said,etc.

Thank you all for telling me your greatest fears. Now i can finally finish my plot to destroy all of KYM!
Honestly, I have the fear of ovens, Clibanisophobia.
The heat, the small space… I just don't know. They scare the shit out of me. I can't use them at all. My little sister puts stuff in the oven for me. I don't know why I'm scared… childhood event? Perhaps I was burned as a child because I touched a hot oven. All I know is that they are evil. When they are heated up and ready to go, I lose it. I get people to take food out of the oven for me also. They are wretched machines… The heat scares me so much. :^|
I'm scared of underwater large-open segments in video games.
Not just 'scared' of them.
Example being, this one quest in Oblivion I forgot the name of.
And fisherman tells you to get some slaughterfish for him.
Fair enough. I go to the lake. I try to get in a boat.
NOPE, YOU GOTTA GO SWIMMINN BOIII
This somehow lead into me going back to the quest giver and murdering him.
Quality logicc.

Fear? Pfft, I'm not scared of anythi-
HOLY FUCK SOMEONE HELP ME OH GOD I'M SCARED HELP AHHHH AHHHHHH!
I'm allergic to bees, but I'm oddly not scared of them. They tend not to sting you if you ignore them. I'm also not scared of dying, though I am afraid of getting hurt.
I am scared of heights, especially if I'm not on solid ground. Vertigo, confusion, fear, all that juicy stuff.
There's this fear I have that keeps haunting me, other people don't seem bothered by it but, I'm afraid of wasting time. Every time I don't do anything even slightly productive I beat myself up for it, not just emotionally, sometimes even physically, yeah, I'm a psycho. As of now, I'm resting after working quite hard, if I do say so myself, so this doesn't count. Video games are somewhat productive, you may not know it, but they improve your reflexes, English, for us foreign people, and lucid dreaming capabilites, so yeah… that's something I'm cool with.

I am afraid everyone actually hates me and just pretends to like me! ;A;
Sounds silly, huh? I have a ton of proof otherwise, but I still can't get over it…
I have a fear that if u see a poster through a mirror it can see you. I can look at the poster just fine, but a reflection of it freaks me out.
Uh, new fear. The money guy from the new Geico commercial, I just saw it for the first time.

Interestingly brief "hiatus", Zach.
I aint afraid of nothin! Even during the apocalypse, I was still jackin cars and taking names, chillin out by the ocean. Fear can bite my shiny metal ass.

I'm serious when I say I have a fear of cars. More specifically moving cars
Just look at those bastards…Plotting against me…. Waiting for the right time to strike….
Oh, yeah, I'm also afraid that people can read my mind.
Well, not really. I know they can't, and I keep trying to tell myself that, but I'm the kind of person that gets stuck in a habit and can't get out, so I keep subconsciously thinking that somebody can read my mind, and quickly try to change my thoughts from whatever I was thinking if it could be labeled bad.
Namely ponies.
