Also be interesting to know if you've got over a phobia somehow?

Only afraid of two things, being trapped and fear itself.
By trapped I don't just mean physically - although that is part of it. So if I'm on the motorway and things grind to a halt, then I panic because I'm trapped and I can't get out of the situation that I'm in. But I also mean socially "trapped", by which I mean if I'm in a public place, say waiting in the queue at Tesco I start to get panicky because I'm "trapped" mainly because I know it's not socially acceptable to just leave my trolley load of shopping on the belt and just walk out. Sounds odd I know, but it's part of agoraphobia. Or if I'm having a conversation with someone I start to get panicky as well, for the same reasons - I can't just get up and walk off.
And by "fear itself" I simply mean that I panic that when I drive to/from work I might get stuck in traffic, so I'm simply worrying that I might start worrying later, real helpful eh?

Heights. Have a real fear of heights even watching the diving or playing lego batman on the ps3 when you drop from the sky makes my stomach churn. Do get abit clostrophobic also if I don't know an easy escape from a tight or small place.
I do hate disorganisation also such as tools they all have to be in there right place and the same way round, all open ends facing the same way ect.

I'm not great with heights. I'll still fly in a plane or go to the top of a building, chairlifts, paragliding, etc. Doesn't mean that it doesn't scare the shit out of me though.

i genuinely struggle to find something that scares me. I love adrenaline, love pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and love not being in control (inb4giggety)
That said 40 black men with their penis in their hand walking towards me naked in a dark alleyway would scare the shit out of me...

Yep. I literally could not be held responsible for my actions if one of my family or friends was hurt in malice.

Spiders and heights mainly. As Scott said, I'll still do things but it scares the hell out of me. He'll be the first to tell you I will get on a plane, and cry as soon as we take off or at the slightest bit of turbulence!

Heights is my main one, got the major willys while watching the new batman film at Imax, near enough shit myself. I'm fine if I'm in an enclosed height tho, like planes or buildings, bit can't stand cliffs/bridges etc.
also don't like public bathrooms. Saw the film 'witness' when I was a kid and I think about it everytime I go in to public loos
