Hey Pandas, What Were Some Of Your Childhood Fears? (Closed)

I was afraid that a monster would crawl out of the toilet and kill me. (－‸ლ)

When I was about 6, I had a really vivid dream that I went into the basement and there was a pink and orange octopus living behind the clothes dryer. Never went near that thing until we moved several years later.

When I first learned about killer bees, I spent a lot of time worrying about them. Being stung to death sounded horrific.

this is pretty weird, but i had this big fear of the sky or ground falling, and like falling into nothingness....

i was scared of my refection off the tv... not the mirror, just the tv

I used to fear the clouds. Reason: They had eyes, I saw faces. But also I had an overactive imagination. I still do.
How I got over this fear: Had a dream that I was in the middle of the Africa and the clouds started falling. At first, I panicked. Than I remembered that clouds are soft so I wasn't scared anymore. Plus, if you could make anything out of these clouds and it would come true. That is how my friend got in a submarine accident.

Pain, needles, and the dark.

Being buried alive, with spiders.

i was afraid of the dark and thought that a horror movie character would kill me when i sleep... i was 7 OK!

I shared a bed with my Bro when we were 5, and he had long hair. We lived in a really rural area and every time his hair brushed my face, I thought it was a spider on my neck. So, I had terrible Arachnophobia for a bit, but it's all good now!

Not mine, but my brother's. One day, he was so spooked by the Bloody Mary paranormal game that he refused to look in a mirror for months. We even had to remove the mirror in our bathroom for a while.

I'm still a kid, maybe not a child, but I'm still terrified of getting shot at school.

Rats and mice....

When I was about 10 or 11 years old I went to my aunt's house to spend the night there.

It was all fun and games until a rat ran across the Tv

me and my aunt were screaming so loud that we couldn't even kill the rat because it was that bad.

Now everytime I see a rat, I would literally call my dad to come kill the rat...

The deep end of swimming pools. I overcame it by making myself swim in the deep end, and go all the way to the bottom. When I returned to the surface I wasn't scared anymore.

I was scared to go to school, interrogations from the teachers and i feared when other classmates talked to me because they usually insulted me.

I read lots of books when I was a kid and there were a few that kind of impacted me.

I believed that if I stuck my foot or arms out while I was sleeping, a pumpkin or something would bite it off. Or if I kept rolling around in bed, some monster would drop down from the ceiling and jump on me.

Hmmmm, I gotta say tornadoes, needles, a killer will be there when I wake up at night, I would have to compete in the Hunger Games, and my bed would collapse.

I was very afraid of the bat/Dracula. I slept on the bottom bunk bed, hung garlic from the top bunk slats to thwart evil. My sister detested the garlic smell. I beat her up every time she took my garlic down. Excellent youth times.

Quicksand, the Bermuda Triangle (esp. the disappearance of Flight 19), the Loch Ness Monster, and T. Rexes, because you never know.

my friends would tease me by telling me that if i ate to much watermelon that i would turn into a watermelon. (i stopped eating watermelon for 6 months lol)
