I'll go first: When I was little, my friend and I were posing for a picture (this was at the zoo) when we heard a weird sqwack and turned around to see this gigantic pink bird with a humungous beak. It was a flamingo. I have never been so scared, and am still scared to this day.

    Fire. I’ve always been scared of fire ever since I was 6. I got a nightmare where a girl had her legs burnt off so the fear and the nightmares stayed with me. I get a bad nightmare every month related to fire. I was also afraid of swimming till I was 12 because I once jumped into a pool when I was 5 and a lot of water went into my nose and I panicked and cried.

    Alligators. Had a nightmare at age 3 or 4 due to some Peter Pan - the book - not the syndrome. I will eat alligator at Cajun restaurants, but never going into a southern lake. Not really afraid of sharks, but the idea of a saltwater croc makes me afraid of certain beaches

    Letting people down. I was raised in a household that demanded only perfection.
