J Larsen Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I have a tremendous fear of heights when there is any possibility of falling (I can't stand anywhere near the edge of a roof that has no rail, but I have no problem leaning against the window in my 34th floor office), and a strong fear of large insects/spiders. I'd rather be locked in a room with a tiger than a huge bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
