I fear quite a lot of things, although I cannot say that it’s a severe case of phobia, I do tend to get scared of pretty much a tons of things. For one, I am very much afraid of the lightning, which is called Astraphobia. I may not be as intense like those who check the weather reports every other minute, or running towards the basement whenever there’s thunderstorm, but whenever I see lightning flashes, I start trembling, panicking, sweating, and crying. People would think that I’m probably weird, but I just can’t handle walking outside knowing that I might get hit by a lightning during bad weathers. So what do I do? I don’t get out of the house. I make sure I’m safe from getting hit by one and I stay away from the window.

Actually, it’s not just the lightning that scares the bejesus out of me, it’s more on the sudden flashing lights. For one, I have a hard time plugging in a cord to an outlet because I fear that a spark would come out, although that’s something that I can still handle, however, things like a welding rod can make me cross to the other side of the road. This is why when I see a place with argon cylinder and carbon dioxide cylinders, I would know that it’s a mechanical and engineering area with those people who work with welding rods in which I have to get out of as soon as I can.
