What do you fear?

I was upstairs changing and realized again as to why I stand 3 foot away from my bed at all times. I will admit, I am afraid of standing directly next to beds. I mean there are monsters under there ready to grab my feet and pull me under, then feed upon my body while I scream. Right? I also will admit to being scared of dark places.
^^Both of those are true, but oddly only if i am not wearing my boots. I know, weird. If i am wearing my boots, then i feel safe still.
No matter what, i am, have and always will be afraid to DEATH of anything that flies and can sting me.
What things frighten you still? No man or woman is afraid of nothing.

Lol I have the 3 foot rule, too, but not because of monsters. I am terrified of mummies, and have been since I read this book in grade 1.
I also can't put my face underwater (fear of drowning), walk outside by myself after dark (fear of monsters, rapists, murderers, etc), or sleep with a cat in my bedroom (fear of being smothered in my sleep).
ETA: And elbows! I hate elbows. Touching them, having mine touched, looking at them, everything about them. Ugh.

I definitely know what you mean about flying stinging insects. Horrible things. Ticks as well, anything that buries into you or worms that live inside you. 
I've never been scared of the dark but where I grew up we had no street lights - we used to run around in the pitch black all the time.
Sometimes the thought of dieing scares me, other times logic prevails and I become calm and it no longer scares me. Its strange.

honestly, the only thing that comes to mind for fears of mine is losing someone close like my fiancee, or my father. especially to violent crime like murder, or rape or something terrible like that.
i know its the typical tough guy response, but i really do not fear anything else.

I'm afraid of heights and golf clubs.
Both are intermittent fears, it's weird.

There are those that are born with fears who have to overcome them and then there are people who are born without fear who have to learn a healthy respect for the unknown.

Ya, I skydived once (I have an uncle who's an instructor in the Bay Area), and I rock climb all the time, but I'll be half way up a wall, and I'll just freeze. It's totally sudden. Also, I'm never ever afraid of airplaned and the like. I can't explain it.
Oh, I also had a couple pals hang me off the edge of Half Dome (we took turns). It was the single most frightening moment of my life.

AWESOME. I wish I could do that... never been on a route even close to that height. Climbing is incredible though.
And weird fears... being touched in any way on the inside of my arm or wrist. Yeah, no IV's here.

Generally afraid of police. Like most people. But I am also afraid of snakes, bees of course. Anything that is poisonous and has a stinger will make me walk away.
