What’s Your Biggest fear?
Roaches. without doubt these are the only things which drive me insane.
My biggest fear is the police. Especially so in Delhi
Wow! I did not know about the problem Roger Moore had with guns. My biggest fear though is – Heights because I’m afraid of falling
As a child I had a fear of dogs, I overcame my fear by playing with my neighbor’s puppies as they
grew up
Wow, the weird fears are weird. First time hearing most of those. I still don’t know what my fear is. I don’t think it’s anything material or thing. If I had to name something it would be the Fear of failure, not amounting to anything worthwhile.
Caligynephobia(fear of beautiful women) is also a weird one 😀
I knew a gal who had a serious phobia of feathers!!!
