I have a fear that's sort of an opposite of acraphobia. I don't have a problem with being up high and looking down(at least, not much of a problem), but, for example, it scares the hell out of me to be standing on the ground looking up at the top of a 8+ story building.
Then there's bugs. I don't fear most of'em, but if I don't know what it is or some such, one would think that I'm deathly afraid of it. What I'm really worried about is whether or not they're poisonous.(Waking up with a poisonous spider in my bed once doesn't help this 'fear' any.

)
I'm afraid of dying in fire, which is strange since I'm a bit of a pyromaniac.
I think the only other thing I'm afraid of are Trolls.

Luckily, I'm a bit of a pyromaniac.

Sailor Saturn: Anablephobia is the fear of looking up. I think it would apply in this case. Is it because you feel small in comparison or is it a kind of invertigo kinda feeling?
The bugs, well that's common since phobia's are generally (i use the term loosely) based around something which you consider to be harmful to you. I can understand getting bitten by the bugs, and same with the fire, but looking up at the buildings, perhaps a feeling of being overlooked and perhaps crushed by the larger 'people' that walk by?

I do feel small in comparison. I'm not sure about the "invertigo kinda feeling" because I don't know what kind of feeling that would describe.

"All right... Ba-- baumkuuhen..."
