What was your biggest childhood fear and do you have it to this day?
Interestingly enough, I had a big fear of dogs. I don't really know why because I've never had a traumatic experience with them (thank God I never got bitten).
I also feared being alone, darkness (but not much) and heights. Woah, I was a fearful kid.
Today, well, I only fear those big, aggressive dogs like kangals and rottweilers. As for darkness and loneliness, nah.

Nuclear war. 80s kid here, so past the nuclear close calls and “duck and cover” of the 60s but the Cold War and nuclear arms race were pretty scary to me.
It’s never gone away and Putin’s current saber-rattling have not helped, but it calmed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
It just seemed like a given we were all going to die in a nuclear war, it was just a matter of time.
There’s still time! :-D
Same! We lived under a flight path when I was growing up for an international airport. I always thought the planes were the bombers coming.
