What are you scared of...a phobia thread

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

What are you afraid of?

I have a highly illogical fear of swans. I won't go within 2 feet of them--I'm scared they'll break my femur.

I'm also a bit wary of falling from heights and flying bugs (i.e. June Bugs creep me out). As well as circus people and clowns.

Michael Jackson

Aliens (I think people call them "greys", they look freaky, plus I dont want to be anal probed)

Castration

 

[Kariann]

Michael Jackson

Who isn't?

Anyway I have intense fear of needles. I cant even really watch anyone get a shot on TV.

 

[BAW]

I can't look out of a window after dark...I have to shut all the blinds and curtains in the house, especially in the bathroom.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of the blimps, robots and fire.

--forgetting/ losing my mind
--michael jackson
--purposly cutting yourself. i can watch movies where people get stabbed, and hacked to death with meat cleavers and butcher'sknives, but the thought of slitting your own wrists makes me quite sick. i feel kind of sick now...

and spiders. not any insects (unless they're large bugs found in tropical climates), and excluding daddy long legs...

 

[foray]

stalkers

chopped flesh (my own)

scary thing is, I'm being serious.


foray

 

[arw]

red meat--cooked or raw.

centipedes.

cats with claws

giving blood from my arm requires a few people to drive me to the dr office, carry me into the office, and then hold me down while the needle is being stuck in me. Strange how I get an allergy shot every week without a second thought......hmmmm.

 

[daisybean]

Heights (but I don't mind flying)
Loud sudden noises...(car backfire, fireworks, popping balloon, thunder)
The sound of airplanes flying overhead (I always have dreams that they are crashing)
Clowns
Those lifelike porcelin dolls (they just stare at you no matter where you are in the room)
Ventriliquist dummys (they might start talking on their own)

creepy crawlies

sushi scares me

sushi scares me

It's delicious.

Except for Uni.(sea urchin) Uni is sick.

 

[Bonochick]

Most bugs, snakes, and wind...God, wind really makes me panic. I don't know why. Even last week, we were having a meeting outside for work, and the wind kicked up...I could feel my heart beating faster, and I was shaking a little.

Living my life alone...

 

[brettig]

Oh and anything sharp near my neck!

and

Bathophobia- Fear of depth

The thought of the middle of the ocean scares me, as does the thought of being at the bottom of a canyon or deep hole.

and this:

Decidophobia- Fear of making decisions

I sort of have these (the first is even named after me!):

Megalophobia- Fear of large things

Just REALLY huge things, not elephants or anything like that, but whales and things like that (only in pictures or models where they're compared to other animals or people or objects and you can see how huge they are) and abnormally large objects, like GIANT flags.

Tocophobia- Fear of pregnancy

Not a fear of pregnancy entirely, but a fear of an accidental pregnancy, even when it's ENTIRELY impossible.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

When I saw bathophobia I thought fear of baths, for some reason.

 

[FallingStar]

Spiders

 

[kobayashi]

needles. especially the spot in your arm where they love to draw blood from.
anything coming near my eyes. i have to go put my contacts on.
portapotties.
persistent fear that i will be using a q tip in my ear and someone (potentially a terrorist) will jam the thing into my brain.
ninjas.
bees.

these arent debilitating. just persistent.

 

[verte76]

I am very acrophobic (afraid of heights). Heck, I can't even wear high heels because of this. Ladders? Forget it.

 

[meegannie]

anything coming near my eyes. i have to go put my contacts on.

Me too. I wear contacts, but I have a huge fear of getting hit in the eye with something. They always have to do the glaucoma test several times on me because I blink too much.

persistent fear that i will be using a q tip in my ear and someone (potentially a terrorist) will jam the thing into my brain.

Ahem. I mean, I'm sorry. That must be very difficult for you.

By the way....

"Directions:
If used to clean ears, stroke swab gently around the outer surface of the ear, without entering the ear canal.


Warnings:
Use only as directed. Entering the ear canal could cause injury. Keep out of reach of children. "
