What are your fears? They can be irrational or rational.
I'll start:
I have mycophobia, a fear of mushrooms and mold.
Ironic, considering I belong to Plague.

I don't fear fungus, specifically, but I am absolutely terrified of getting some up my nose and it chewing on my facemeats. This happened to a family member, and now I am scared senseless whenever I have to clean up moldy food.
Also, rabies. Any animal acting even remotely weird? My brain immediately jumps to rabies and won't shut up.

I’m afraid of mold but not mushrooms, as long as said mushrooms are safe to eat. The mold phobia probably came from either when I was around 4-6 ears old and I left a glass of lemonade on a table for a while or from having sandwiches with slightly moldy bread around the same age. I would always freak out and ask my teacher to cut it off.

I have acrophobia, which seems somewhat reasonable. Gravity is not nice.
I also have a fear of maggots, though it's lessening. But seriously, this is probably the most unreasonable fear. Baby animals. Tiny baby animals.

I'm emetophobic to the highest degree. You can't even say you don't feel well around me, 'cause I'll vacate the area very fast.

I have massive scopophobia. I’ve actually run from conversations before because the other partner was making too much eye contact.

I’m here and I’m queer
Ask to see my parrot, he is good.
Emetophobia — It’s the entire foundation for my lifelong battle with OCD, and even lends itself to superstition at times (my brain thinks that if I even read about someone coming down with a stomach virus, I’m going to “get jinxed” and become sick irl)
Trypophobia — I developed this fear after a nasty bout of chickenpox. Anything that even vaguely resembles clusters of circles/bubbles makes my skin crawl. I’ve been deeply disturbed by dozens of harmless things ranging from large sunflowers to certain fabric patterns. And yes, I am absolutely terrified of Plague Primal

cancer. i think it comes from a guilty conscience. i have been stupid, and now that i've found purpose in my life i fear my stupid coming back to bite me in the *** and screwing everything up.
i used to be irrationally afraid of driving, but google maps is a technological miracle and has changed my life.
and i'm afraid of dying here in this crappy trailer having accomplished nothing with my life but working a crappy job and enduring a crappy marriage. i'm afraid of dying without ever experiencing real, lasting happiness. this is not where i want to be when i die.
edit - this thread inspired me to look up a list of phobias and look at what i've learned
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words
i love it
Thalassophobia
No, it's not 'unknown sea creatures that could be in the deep', it's this:

It is so... It just makes you feel as if reality is just a sham.
