Dumbest fears as a kid

[Clover Heart 978]

I was terrified of the guy from the board game "Operation." That fear stuck with me for years and years. I'd have to run out of the bathroom because while it was making the loud, terrifying flushing sound is when he'd come up from the toilet and stab me with a syringe. Sleeping with a pillow on my backside was the only line of defense against it.

 

I was a very strange little kid... ._.;

Heights, I'm still afraid when I'm on a higher platform or anything that is more than 2m(7-8ft) or higher...

Tornadoes, like seriously those things freaked me the hell out when I was little

[~Chaos~ 3,967]

I didn't/still don't like being in deep water, it's just eerie to me.

[Bastion 414]

I was scared of these things. Because I am a tech nerd

 

Pc bluescreens

Console error screens

 

 

Now the standard stuff

 

Mirrors. (Bloody mary stuff sparked that)

The basement

Dark silent rooms

And also ghosts

I used to be afraid of red wagons, yes these things

After my brother gave me the idea of riding it down a flight of concrete stairs, i had been scared of them till well into middle school.

I could tolerate spiders, clowns, the dark, etc. However, I could not stand bees, and I still can't to this day. I originally had a minor fear of bees, but the point where I really feared them started when I witnessed one of my step siblings get swarmed by bees.

 

I can't stand waiting for them to go away whenever they're nearby. I don't know if I unintentionally angered them, or if I might accidentally touch one if I fidget. You would think that over time, I would get over fears like this.

Nope!

Thanks to the internet, I now know about Giant Asian Hornets; wasps that have acidic venomous stings, and can chase people for miles.

Losing a friendship and that still stands for me today though.

I used to watch a lot of horror movies when I was little so I was always scared at night when I had to go to sleep that I would be killed by some murderer out of a movie. This is where I got my fear of the dark too. Whenever I slept I didn't dare look up because I thought that I would see some silhouette of a figure standing in my door way about to murder me (Yes it sound ridiculous but it's true). I slept with the hallway lights on too because it helped me to sleep and made me feel safer. This fear lasted up until I was 8.

Generally was scared of Mirrors. Not due to paranormal things or rumours. They just generally freaked me out back then O_O

When I was a kid, I had a pathological fear of heights. It wasn't exactly heights itself, but rather a fear of falling from a height and potentially dying.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

I was terrified of "Raw Head Bloody Bones", which is some skeleton pirate or whatever my dad always told me about. It sucked taking the trash out at night, was always scared he was gunna pop out of the woods. Also bigfoot and aliens (which sucked because I really liked watching the documentaries but then I'd be terrified after). And of course, like any other kid, the dark!

I had a fear of the unknown, when I couldn't see anything I would just flip out, like playing Murderer In The Dark or something.

[Hidey 2,836]

I wasn't afraid of anything as a kid. Then I became a teenager, and I was afraid of other teenagers.

[CuriousPony 157]

I was mainly scared of the dark. And it didn't help that my sister loved to hide in dark rooms and jump out at me. 

 

I also thought there were monsters under my bed, and if I didn't run when getting out of bed, they'd grab my ankle and pull me into their lair. 

 

 

Fans.

Like ceiling fans, fans on the floor. Any type of fan.

I was afraid they'd suck me into a different dimension. I was weird kid.

 

I didn't like the ceiling fan in my bedroom. Specifically the strings attached to them (you know, the ones you pull to regulate fan speed and such). The beads hanging from them looked like gun barrels to me, and I was afraid that it would randomly shoot me (... I had a very overly active imagination, as you probably guessed).

What was the dumbest thing that scared you as as a kid.

 

I was scared of that klasky csupo face logo after rugrats episodes. I would hide under the covers so he wouldn't eat me in my sleep.

 

My cousin was scared of Mickey mouse clubhouse when she was little and had nightmares of the clubhouse closing with her inside of it.

Tell me your funny stories of stupid things that scared you below.

[CloudKicker 391]

this might sound like dumbest one i was scared of the bogey man my big brother told me about this i was scared it would come and attack me etc but realized it isn't real

[Bird Mom 900]

I used to watch Gen. 1 when I was little, and this lava monster thing scared the bejeezus out of me.

[Retired 83]

Hmm. I was afraid of dolls. Terrified. I grew out of it, though, but I still find them creepy. xD

I was afraid of the dark.. and, surprisingly, I was afraid of dwarf people. Of course, I am obviously no longer afraid of them. <3

[Solar Eclipse 26]

I used to be scared of this toy rocking horse I had when I was 7, which is kind of ironic now considering how much I like ponies.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Fans.

 

 

Like these kinds of fans.

My mom would wake up in the might and the shadows would make the furniture seem alive. It's not silly or stupid but it's pretty freaky.

[DashYoshi 9,565]

When I was really young (around 2 or 3 years old), I was scared of shows like Dora the Explorer. I don't know why I was scared, to be honest.

[KrazyDashie 1,847]

dolls....I always feel very creeped out when I just see one and for some strange reason I was afraid of closets... I always thought if I go in one at night I would be sealed inside
