One of my biggest fears has always been small spaces, especially elevators. I have learned to associate elevators with a fear of dying or being trapped.
I have a fear of sharks. I guess you could associate this fear with the time I watched the movie about Bethany Hamilton when I was younger.
I am scared of heights. I have many more fears but that is one of the main ones that sticks out to me. I came to have this fear when my dad picked me up and accidentally dropped me when I was little, and ever since then being on peoples backs or shoulders scares me and even as high up as a tall building.
I have a slight fear of heights most likely caused by an incident when I was young where I fell off the top of a swing set.
One phobia I have is the fear of being kidnapped. I think it developed after watching movies or hearing stories of people who were kidnapped and either killed or sold into human trafficking.
