One of mine has to me being absolutely devastated when I find out the sun would explode in like 9 billion years at age 6, like I was going to live that long to actually see it.

For a 10 year period, I did not want to wear short sleeve shirts because I was convinced people were starting at my thin arms. I would even wear long sleeve shirts in the summer.
Now I wear short sleeve shirts quite often.

Operation. Had the GBA version and I heard the buzzer, that was it. I even avoided a local restaurant due to a colouring page of Cavity Sam (which I cannot find evidence of) and scream whenever someone got an answer wrong on a game show.
Guess who has become my comfort character not too long ago?

For me it was wearing shorts. I always had skinny legs and felt reluctant for years to show them off as I didn't like how my legs looked, even when it was summer and hot I'd refuse to wear shorts. I now wear shorts sometimes when it is warm and don't care what anyone might think.
One thing I was irrationally scared of for years was getting sea water on myself. I was born and grew up and have always lived within a few miles at most of the sea and sea loughs. I always liked going to beaches and coastal areas as a child, but I hated getting sea water on myself as I didn't like how it smelled. If I did get sea water on myself, I couldn't wait to have a wash and get clean. Since getting seriously into nature conservation and now living near the coast, I stopped worrying about getting sea water on myself. Heck, I was on a boat once out at sea with some people, going to do some conservation work and see what animal and plant life we could find on and around an island, when a big wave came over and soaked me completely and I didn't mind, I just laughed it off at the time as it got warm and the sun dried me.
Another thing I had a irrational fear of as a child was the wind going through the pipes in the bathroom of the house I grew up in. It was an old farm house and the bathroom had pipes running along one part near the ceiling that attached to a boiler was in a cupboard at one end of the bathroom. When the wind was strong outside, like a gale, you would often hear the whooom like sound of the wind rattling the copper pipes. Even when I knew what was causing the sound, I still felt scared of being in the bathroom while that was happening.

I also had a fear of wearing shorts, but it was much longer than my fear of wearing short sleeve shirts. I also thought people were staring at my thin legs and wore long pants even when it was hot outside. I didn't get over it until about a decade ago. I still prefer to wear long pants, but I have no problem wearing shorts in public.
The interesting thing is that I prefer wearing shorter shorts, especially when I jog or at the beach. I find them more practical and comfortable than wearing long basketball or boardshorts, which to me feel like I'm wearing curtains. I don't like cargo shorts either.

This is something I’m still irrationally afraid of: people looking at me and making fun of me in public. I look like someone straight from “To Catch a Predator”, and that’s not an exaggeration. If you saw an image of my face, you’d think so too.
Not only that, but I also have an overbite. That’s always why in group photos and stuff, I never appear in them while everyone else does, and I usually also cover my mouth with my hand when I walk in public, and just try to ignore whenever my hand cramps and hope nobody notices me.

When I was little I used to be terrified of turned off tv screens. Little me thought that if I looked away from the screen while it was turned off, then a creepy face would show up or something lol. I was also scared to sleep in my Grandma's guest bedroom because there was this big CRT tv in there, and it used to make these crackling sounds that freaked me out. Old cartoons also used to unsettle me as a kid cause I would watch tons of those public domain cartoons on dollar store dvds so the quality was always pretty awful and I think that added to the creepiness for me.

I had a similar fear about turned off TVs, but only at night. I thought at night they would be something like a portal to ghosts and similar scary beings.

It always gave me a "weird" feeling too when the TV was turned off, like the whole vibe of the room was gone. Maybe not as scared as you, but I definitely didn't like how the room felt once the TV was off. Too empty and quiet. I've seen those DVDs for sell at thrift stores and yeah, you're right about those being unsettling too.
