I'm not really embarassed by it, but since everyone else is sharing their phobias, I'm extraordinarily aichmophobic (fear of needles). When my film class saw Videodrome (excellent film, by the way) and the piercing play scene started, I covered my eyes, since I knew it would bother me. However, I could still hear the noises, so I started feeling weak in my legs and stomach and getting upset. I tried to get up to leave the room until it was over, but my knees were too weak to hold me, so I ended up curled in a sobbing, hyperventilating ball under the table until it was over.
You poor thing. I had someone do that in class once (different circumstances)...
Nothing too embarassing here, but if I go into the garden at night I get worried about treading on slugs. I also hate the dentists, and feel sick every checkup, despite having the best teeth in my family.
I am slightly Obsessive/Compulsive, going back to check I've locked doors etc even though I know I have.
And I had a self-harming period at one point. Nothing serious, just carving small holes in the back of my hand. You can barely see the scars. I am embarassed of that, actually...
And on the topic of confessions (might as well come clean), I worked in a kitchen at college, stole money, and blamed one of the cleaners (who was dying of cancer at the time) who got sacked as a result. Probably the worse thing I've ever done.
A few more stories like that, nothing too shocking.
