All of them.

Spiders, the dark, monsters and more realistic fears like being alone in the woods at midnight on a full moon, Panthers etc

I wanted to get rid of them all and depression helped me get rid of the last one, fear of death.

All fears are related to death so theirs really nothing that bothers me at this point. I'm very comfortable with the idea of death: part of The Sandman comics is to teach you why you shouldn't fear death and instead treat it as a fitting end to a beautiful life.

The idea of dying seemed a lot scarier as a kid. 

Otherwise most of my fears were OCD with a fixation on perfectionistic causality illusions, stuff like "If I step on the white tiles, I'm a failure". If someone'd taken footage of me walking around like that it'd look fucking weird. 

 I used to pretend/think the black tiles would lead me to Death himself. 

Nowadays I goof around and have fun with tiles sometimes.

As I got older I saw how much of a visual spectacle my odd behaviors were appearing to be, and I began to externalize "fault" at other people who weren't reading my mind to know what things to avoid doing. 

You can't be like 18 years old and meticulously avoiding/doing weird shit in public like you could as a "highly imaginative kid", so over enough time and pain I found it easier to accept "being a failure".

 The wood's behind my Grandmother's house was actually my escape. 

Did you have an image of your monsters?

 Do you think it's not appropriate behavior as you get older? Or are you the more open minded sort who view it as lighthearted fun?

((OH you edited.))

 I enjoy hiking at night now, with only your senses to guide you, it's a hobby at this point.  Think about all that you miss out on bc you let fear reside over your actions.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

That's the thing about monsters, what's scary is not knowing what is behind the closet door. Your mind races to imagine the possibilities but there isnt one that you settle on bc you cannot know

 Good answer.

Had a strange fear of printers and that I would accidentally fuck up and the printer wouldn't stop shooting out paper and the house would fill with paper, and I'd get cut to death and die.

 That's the most interesting one I've yet to hear. Does it still affect you?

 No, not at all I'm fine with printers.
