What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?

I'm not sure I would call it a "fear" because that implies some level of rationality, but... I'm a claustrophobe, especially with large crowds. It's not like being afraid of something that can legitimately hurt you, like poisonous snakes or falling off your roof. Intellectually, I know that I can't be injured by being in a small, enclosed space. But if I'm in one, I panic; crowded elevators are the worst! It bothers me that I have this visceral reaction to something harmless. It seems to have gotten worse with age.

Cheers,
G

I'm extremely claustrophobic but what scares me the most is the thought of having to carry on a conversation with any of my wife's sisters and most of her brothers. It is a mind numbing, IQ lowering experience that requires hours of intellectual stimulation to bring me out of my coma.
