Phobias you have gotten over/overcome

[Meson Bolt 2,650]

Thunderstorms. I used to be really afraid of them as a kid, but I'm not now. They're actually really peaceful to me.

Also needles. I used to be one of those kids who hated needles, but I never spoke out about it (just freaked out internally). But since my job requires me to maintain a lot of immunizations, I've kinda grown bored of them. x3

Darkness and being alone at night. When I was kid I was really afraid of both, once I even had something like sleeping paralysis. Because of my mom's job she was often working at night and I had to sleep alone, in the beginning I couldn't even sleep with lights turned off, but eventually I overcome these phobias. Now I'm feeling pretty ok being alone at night

"I was told, when I get older, all my fears would shrink, But now I'm insecure, an' I care what people think"

I realized that being scare of the dark then was nothing compare to my anxiety now.

I used to be scared as a kid that a robber would come into the house. That still sounds scary but as I’ve gotten older I’ve thought of ways I can flee or how I can at least get help if that were to ever happen.

Was afraid of the car wash (eventually just... realized it’s just a car wash  ). It was mostly the ones with the big brushes, but I felt the same about the touch less ones.

Also dogs. (Because of one embarrassing incident...). I remember overcoming it... there was a small, really elderly looking dog just... sleeping, laying down. I thought it was so harmless and vulnerable, I guess I realized they aren’t all out to get ya and often they’re also ... harmless. I was with it for the time I was at that house.

Thunderstorms. Those used to terrify me, but now they're more just unsettling. I'm always on edge when a thunderstorm rolls through.

I had bad arachnophobia as a teen I've overcome as an adult. I'm also making progress on my astraphobia

I'm not fully over this, but my fear of heights isn't as bad as it used to be.

I used to be terrified of butterflies and cabbage moths as a kid, not so much nowadays.

I had Radical OCD which has a way of convincing the mind of an endless array of bad things that can happen from nothing (all an illusion) and I overcame that. Other things, like fear of crime still scare me but that’s a basic fear and not a phobia. I am a germophobe but I don’t ever want to get over that; it keeps me healthy, even if it’s obsessive behavior.

Believe it or not, I actually used to be afraid of Rugrats, but that might be because the first episode I saw was one of the scary ones. Thankfully, I managed to get over it.

When I was little, I used to be afraid of Painty the Pirate in the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song.

Spiders used to be a big fear of mine. I've pretty much gotten over the fear. Although, if they suddenly catch me by surprise, they still cause me to jump like a cat that's been ambushed by a stealthily placed cucumber.
