GEG Weird and Irrational Fears Thread

Flies. I don't mind bees/wasps/spiders/etc but I just hate flies. They're filthy, creepy-looking (especially greenbottles), and their buzzing makes my heart race.
 
This is really weird but for some reason looking up old pharaohs or especially kings from thousands of years ago and tracing their lineage as far back 1000 BC really weirds me out and gives me an uncomfortable feeling akin to dread or a curse and I don't know why, because there's no face, there's not anything but a name, their title, and an approximate date of when they were born and when they possibly died, they exist in name alone.

What were their lives like back then? who were their parents that remain undocumented? did they have any siblings? what ever happened to that linage if it exists? how would they feel knowing (in some examples) they still have a living bloodline that traces back to them in 2024 AD?
 
Also trees. it's not really a fear, but rather when I look at them for long enough it weirds me out how different we are from trees, cause the are obviously very much alive as well as we are. And imagining a towering spire of leafed appendages with giant root system somehow being alive and *breathing* just feels alien to me. Also the roots are weird by themself too. They are like tentacles, pushing deeper into the soil in search of nutrients and water. And trees also communicate through them of all things. What are trees plotting all this time? Underground, out of sight from us. Makes me wonder all kinds of things.
 
Said this before I can't deal with dogs at all I hate them, they're so violent and uncaring I can't even stand to look at one let alone let one near me.

I’m afraid and nervous all the time about pretty much everything. Whenever I’m alone with someone I make up a story in my head about how they’re going to try to kill me and then I have to plan how I’ll escape. When my parents are out and don’t pick up the phone I immediately come up with the idea that they died in a car crash and my siblings are going to be put into foster care and I’ll never see them again.
