Heights, certain materials, 'bits' (though that's OCD.)
I have a fear of creepy-crawlies walking onto me uninvited, but it's not a phobia. (Ie, if I pick up a small spider that's fine, because I 'invited' it onto me, but if it crawls onto me of its own accord, that's not fine.) |

ALSO, the compulsion is either always the same(There could be different obsessions, but any given one will constantly remanifest), or has the same trigger, and is not considered reasonable. Y... |

I can beat in time to music doing one rhythm, but if I try to beat two rhythms it's hopeless. I love conducting along to recordings that I know well though - I can conduct all of the dynamics and pauses etc - it's great fun  |
