I have one of the oddest fears: Sharks. Why so odd? I can swim in the ocean perfectly fine! My fear is about being left alone in the deep end of a swimming pool, some hidden panel or something is going to open up and a shark will fuck me up.
It's about the weirdest thing I can think of to fear.

I think one of my greatest fears would have to be growing old. Not in the sense that I freak out every time I see something grayish on my head (too young for that anyway) but simply it's a thing I'll have to worry about sooner or later. I always used to think that if it gets really bad, and I'm just an annoyance and a burden to everyone around me, I'll commit suicide just to die with a little dignity. Though I think I would only do that if I ended up alone. I'm willing to grow as old as possible with my special someone.
My second greatest fear is dying without a chance to fight. If somehow, I were to die early, be murdered or something, I want to have a chance to give the person a fight of his life. That's why I don't like guns very much. For me, they are a coward's weapon. I FPS, it's ok. In reality, I'd rather fight man to man.
Other than that, I sometimes fear the dark but only if it's somewhere in the nature, like in a forest and such. I don't fear dark in the house because I can always rationalize why there is no chance somebody is there. I sometimes have nightmares about falling but I'm not really afraid of heights all that much. Oh, and I detest big insects, especially if they decide the fly near me. Crawl on the goddamn floor for all I care but don't you dare disturb my aerial space!
BTW I can completely understand the fear of corners. I once busted my forehead open because of a damn carpet and really sharp bed edge. I still have a scar on my forehead and several other places for similar reasons.

A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head!

What the hell is wrong with you. Getting old is the best thing to happen because then you can get into all sorts of shenanigans. I would ride around in one of those shopping carts and hit people, I would also organize a bumper cars game with a bunch of other seniors. Beat people with my walking stick, or shit in somebody's stuff. Oh the possibilities!!

Being asleep but I can't wake up, but I'm totally aware of what's going on. Beyond that lucid shit, just a straight coma basically where you're not even sure if you're still alive. SCARY SHIT. Oh and I'm always afraid that someone will drug me and bury me alive.
If you lock me in a quiet, completely dark room, I would literally beat you to a pulp when you let me out. That's the only thing that'd get my adrenaline going. Guess it comes with the territory now that explosive shells, bombings, wars, and that sort-a life doesn't really kick start my fight or flight reaction anymore.
I'm scared of being what someone might consider a "fake person." It's kind of hard to explain...I'm not like afraid of being disingenuous or lying (even though I am terrible at it) or anything like that, but...feeling like I only do things or am who I am to get other people's approval. I never want to be like that.
Even more than that, I'm horribly afraid of sounding/feeling "cheesy."
As far as cabinet doors - I'm not afraid of them at all, but I do have a borderline (at least) compulsion to close them if someone leaves them open. It just bugs the hell out of me otherwise. Even if they're closed, but something inside is sticking out a little so the door doesn't close all the way, I have to shove it closed or rearrange the stuff inside so it does. Similarly, my bathroom mirror has this stupid-as-shit 3-fold design thing going on, and if one of the panels is even slightly ajar, it drives me crazy. I could go on about this kind of thing for days, but this isn't the Weird Compulsions/Hangups Thread.
The very first time you meet my dog, you will name an exception of not being afraid of him, big yellow lab named Malkin after the Penguins player and tore his ACL in his back leg just like the player did. Same side I believe as well. Scary isn't it?
Anyway, Malkin loves to make new friends. He does sound like a freight train when running full speed at you. To play with you. The only time he gets aggressive is usually with me if we horse around (haven't horsed around in a while and won't for some time due to tearing his ACL) and when somebody attacks one of us. Everybody who met him, loves him.
