If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been suggested that you entitle it "I'm afraid of __ out of 72 common fears," but as mofic points out it is not the fear that one is afraid of but rather the person, thing or activity.

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or fewer, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.
