I hate calling people I don't know. Just HATE it. :x Being called is fine and so is calling people I do know.
I've also got a fear of being alone. It's not so much a fear as a dislike, but I don't like it when I don't have people I know around or to talk to. That's why at college late at night I'm glad I'm on IRC because I have friends to chat with. One night I remember getting really sad because of this...
Also when I was like 3-4 I recall being terrified of the whale in Pinocchio.

I am almost the same way, but I don't like calling people that I do know and visa versa. And I used to talk on the phone all the time when I was younger, but now, I can't stand it.

Balloons. Everytime I see one, I try to stay at least few meters away from it. I just hate when they blow up without warning
Heights.
Sharp stuff.
Big dogs, but luckily, I've almost got rid of it. I still back off a bit when a big dog runs towards me.

Expand this into "anything that makes a sudden, unexpected loud noise" for me. I don't know if I could go back to being a movie theater projectionist because the xenon (?) bulbs they use go BANG when they burn out. Not fun.

That reminds me of that time in 1999 or so when I had a blade of a small pair of scissors stuck in my right hand, in that little piece of skin between the little and ring finger. Fun times. :x
That happened to me while I was trying to cut a hole through stiff paper, and all I had was scissors. I rubbed the paper against the scissors, and didn't even notice that it broke my skin until I looked at it. Didn't hurt, and I just went "Huh. Can I have a band-aid, please?"
Anyways, actual content now. I have this strange fear of something being directly behind me. I don't show it much, but it creeps me out to no end. When my back's not against something... yeah.
Also, schizophrenia seems completely irrational to me, even though I might have it. My mom told me that my brother thought his leg was eating him from the inside out, and I just went "but there's no possible way that could happen" in the logical male mindset.

I'm curious as to what you mean by this. Are you suggesting that a logical female mindset would come up with a different response, or, what? |

No, I just mean that my brother didn't think the same thing. I saw in Misfile that the stereotypical mindset for a guy is logical, and I was being pretty logical there. I guess that's the refrence. Misfile also states that the female mindset is stereotypically emotional.

The emergency broadcast/alert test pattern still creeps me out a bit.
I hate loud noises, too. I always jump at a loud noise. It's why I hate getting on the subway at the terminus of the line (the trains pull in and release brake pressure when they stop); the sound the brakes make on older subway car models is really annoying too.
I also have the slight fear of, of all things, sleep. It's just... a little creepy to think that we're basically going into a coma for eight or so hours, hallucinating vividly for parts of it.

Indeed, I do have quite a few traits and attributes that relate to autistic behavior, however this is not because of autism itself, but something else. I won't go into further detail about this, though.

Same here. It's gotten better, but I'm still avoiding them for the most part.
Also something I forgot to mention in my previous post: I have this really annoying fear of making mistakes.  For example, I can't submit any post here without worrying whether it (the post) will really be OK or not, and I'm also quadruple-checking everything for possible mistakes or sentences where I could express myself in some better way. It's really annoying. I often spend dozens of minutes just writing the simplest posts.
It's gotten better, yes (I mean, I have 80 posts now, something I couldn't even imagine a year ago or so) but it's still present for the most part |

I, for one, have this minor fear of sharp shit.
You could probably blame that on having sliced the part of my hand between thumb and index open with a very large knife (by accident, of course) and having had a pair of scissors snap in half, sending the blade shooting off while trying to open fucking blister packaging.
Have I mentioned that I hate blister packaging yet?
Fuck, I hate blister packaging.  Last time part of it shattered. Yay for shrapnel...

Using Skype (or something similar) is usually fine, though, as long as I personally know the person/people I'm talking with (and even then it's kind of difficult)
I hate telephones.... although I'm getting better. I can actually use my headset while gaming now. 
My phone conversations usually last less than 30 seconds. Anything more gets awkward.

That damn thing used to creep me out when I was little. I used to be extremely paranoid when the wind would pick up, so I found myself falling asleep to the weather channel a lot.

When I was about three or four, lava in games scared the hell out of me for some reason. 
I'm afraid of sharp things, though (I HATE things piercing my skin) and I sometimes feel as if there's a major problem that might require surgery at some point on random various things, which can partly be blamed on my 2005-2006 ear troubles. I do miss the incredible dreams I had around that point, though

Oh, speaking of games...
ReDeads from OoT, anyone?  Those things freaked me out as a kid!

I actually had nightmares about the ReDead when I was younger.

Even though I wasn't actually afraid of them, suddenly being frozen and hearing that scream would always freak me out. The surprise humping was lovely, too.
Several years back, I saw Chrono Trigger for the first time. I was scared of it--especially the Millennial Fair. It wasn't even that horror tent, but the combination of the text boxes, greenness of the trees, and that black border around the screen, I think. Definitely glad that I got over it by the next day or so.
Super Mario World's Special World? Yeah, in addition to the keyholes, I was afraid of the music (I couldn't stand the SMB theme coming in either, wtf) and the flashing "SPECIAL"
Oh, and this one photo of me, as a baby, with one of my eyes closed and my mouth open? I was terrified of that, too.
I was so tender and fucked up as a child

If you want to dream about a specific thing, think about it a lot before you go to sleep. Maybe talk to yourself about it. Works for me.

|  | I continually, whenever I go to sleep, get these sudden fears of people dying, people attacking me, and other such things. Sometimes, I end up lying in bed for ages, staring at the darkness around me, jumping at the tiniest sound, afraid to sleep in case something bad happens.
And then I also occasionally start to worry about my existence. But that's kinda crazy.
