Rule of thumb: it’s usually pretty obvious when I’m being sarcastic!

Yeah ok 🤨
I thought you might be implying I wasn't being honest...
Btw the fear of surgery is called tomophobia.

I would never…
lol I did know that but it’s usually easier for people to understand when it’s in a simpler ‘fear of surgery’ form.

Used to fear heights also but I've been casually climbing trees without safety equipment the past years so I might've conquered that one

Afraid of medical procedure going wrong. I have to be aware of any step of the procedure (since childhood I was a nightmare for dentists). I'm supposed to do a knee surgery somewhere soon and I'm scared... it is more because I'm aware of the risks and complications.
•
Afraid of being electrocuted.
•
Afraid of killing/injuring someone in a car accident. (sort of PTSD from my own accident and a friend being killed in a car vs motorcycle hit and run). I'm a very good driver but still if someone minor happens it scares the hell out of me and sometimes I need a few days to bring myself together. Like when someone jumps to the road in front of me or something.

Afraid of falling of a cliff. Although I like the view from heights.

Tbh none of the things I listed are actual "phobias" either, more like "possible scenarios that sound scary to me".
