speaker What am I afraid of? Probably the same things that most people are afraid of. I don't like snakes very much. I don't like strange and large insects, especially in my apartment. I've had a few incidents with that and it's very startling. I just don't like anything creepy crawly. I guess. 

Conrad, The United States 

speaker What am I afraid of? Let's see. I've always been afraid of snakes. That's probably because my grandmother and father are also afraid of snakes and I must have been influenced by them somehow and their reaction to seeing snakes. Plus, they're just such – in my opinion – ugly creatures and slimy and just for me not an attractive animal.

Peter, Sweden 

speaker What am I afraid of? I would actually have to say sharks because just the look of sharks really scares me and also made me scared of water as well. I don't like swimming just because I think their might be a shark in the water, so I really hate sharks.

Philip, United Kingdom 

speaker So what am I afraid of? One of my biggest fears is heights. Definitely. The idea of bungee-jumping terrifies me. I went to a parachuting school session once with my friends in England and I was more scared than I have ever been in my life, so my biggest fear has to be heights.

Skip, United States

speaker What are you afraid of? Well, recently I visited a friend of mine in Shanghai and she made a comment that I thought was very interesting. She said I look like I have money. I don't but compared to the people, regular people walking around on the street, I look like I have a lot of money, and so I suppose that made me think that, gee, I'm really afraid of someone thinking that I have a lot of money and trying to rob me, especially if they have a gun. I have a little bit of paranoia about guns. But, yeah, especially maybe in a big city where I don't know people and maybe I'm in a neighborhood I'm not familiar with or I don't know well. In some cities, that is a real problem that you can end up getting robbed.

Barbara, Australia 

speaker What am I afraid of? Well, for one thing, cockroaches. They are glossy black and they dart around quickly. You never know where they are going to head next. And even if you spray them or hit them with a newspaper and they fall off the wall, their body is still there somewhere under the sofa. You can never get rid of them. Where there is one, there is always more. That's what I'm afraid of.
