What are your Phobias?

[Something]

I've always been afraid of drowning. I'm not hydrophobic, not in the slightest. But I panic when i'm immersed, or if it's too humid.

 

And bees. I hate those things so much. They're out to get me, I tell you! And this goes for any flying, stinging insect.

At least bees are not usually aggressive in theory.. watch out for wasps though.

[Something]

Ooooh I despise those things with all of my hatred.

I thought the same and then in one of my forest walks i set my foot on their territory and got a whole hive on my head stinging my face everywhere...my head looked like a fat unproportional baloon for over 2 weeks

 

You cant immagine that panic i was going trough.

[Emily]

Clowns and old dolls (those dolls from 1850-1950) creep the fuck outta me.

 

 

[RandomOne]

centipedes and millipedes scare the  beejeezes outa me. we only have small ones here , I couldn't imagine running into one of those giant kind *yuck* I'm creeped out even thinking about them

[Guest]

Spiders, everything to do with spiders, Just hate them!

[Contessa]

Crowds. I get so scared when I'm in a crowd. I don't know why, I just do.

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

Spiders, being around people and alien abduction.

 

Hell, just seeing a depiction of a cliche Gray makes my skin crawl. If it's at night, I have been known to literally stay up the entire night, only going to sleep when the sun rises. This extends to open doors at night as well; I have to close them; open just a crack is worse, because I can just image it slowly opening and an alien looking at me. There were times when, literally, I felt so creeped out after waking up that I've pulled my sheets over my head and refused to open my eyes because I could swear there was something in the room with me.

 

I've even had nightmares within nightmares, where I'm sleeping, only to wake up to aliens, then wake up again suddenly, leave my bedroom and ALIENS AGAIN, only to wake up once more, and so on until I actually do wake up, and then lay there in abject terror about what might happen if I move.

 

SHIT, it's about 3:30 AM and I just typed all this... looks like I'll be up until the crack of dawn...

That is quite a strange phobia. How did you acquire this one? Alien adduction not that often thematised in fiction based on my experience. May I recommend you to have a look in to physiks (especialy aspects of the theory of relativity and their consequences and a littel bit astrophysics) and astronomy. I know rational arguments and science are week countermeasures againts phobias. But when you experience the huge distances in the galaxy/universe and how impossible it is to overcome them, that everywhere in the univers are the same set of physical and chemical rules valid that we are suffer on earth and how many factors are out there in the galaxy that prevent every formation of life at all maybe then you can sleep a bit better. Beside that stuff can be quite intresting

 

I have some rather strange fear from the contact with spiders. Strange because i find them quite fascinating and have no problem with watching them ( on pictures or in real) and also no problem when insects crawl on me.

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

I know quite a bit about what makes it virtually impossible for there to little gray aliens running around, abducting people... but that doesn't stop me from being scared shitless by it. Sightings, In Search Of... and countless other things I watched when I was younger (and even to this day) have all formed this massive fear of giant eyed, noseless things coming for me and doing who knows what to me.

 

I wonder if this is how people with a fear of demonic possession, despite knowing for a fact that there's no such thing, feel. And unlike a lot of fears, this one cannot really be reduced or eliminated. There aren't any aliens around that I can use to desensitize myself.

 

... Come to think of it, why I'm not scared of anime (giant eyes, sometimes noseless things) is beyond me.

[formel]

Lol you are right...is there something all these japanese drawers try to tell us? Mysterious mysterious.

 

I think the most people who fear demonic possession are highly religous. For them demons are as real as their god or hat ever they belive in.  And realy religous people are quite hard to teach otherwise.

 

Still have to say a really weird phobia that you have aquired there but well i think it is that irrational element that makes as human at the end.

Hmm let's see:

-Heights

-Falling off of balcony's (like when I'm resting my arms on the edge of one)

-Schizophrenia (ever since I learned about it I've dreaded ever having it)

-paralysis or being hospitalized for being in a coma for x amount of time when I'm not actually in one, like this poor guy

-going into lakes with dark, murky water

-nightmares that involve you meeting an weird/demented/evil clone of yourself. Like one time as a kid I had a dream where I went into my bathroom and looked into the mirror to see a version of my self that had a disturbing look on its face. It pointed and laughed at me. I still remember that dream vividly to this day and still have a bit of trouble looking into mirrors.

 

Dunno if those are phobias, but those are certainly things that have the ability to scare me or creep me out to no end.

Of course you are afraid of nightmares with yourself. You are the Mad God.

[Emily]

How come a mad god fears Schizophrenia?

[polluxval]

I'm afraid of grumpy cats.

[Something]

So...i'm the ONLY one who's not afraid of spiders or clowns?

[polluxval]

I like spiders, but not clowns.

 

 

 

[LevelUp]

Spiders.

& moths..

& craneflies..

 

:C

 

The odd thing about spiders though, is that I can 'deal' with them if they're below me.

Above me, I'm terrified.

 

 

[Valgo]

Well.
Im I am not comfortable with deep water, spiders, most insects, dogs, cats etc. But that's nothing I'd call 'phobia'.

What I am really afraid of are: Needles. Gaaaah, get those things away from me. For example: When I was a lil kid they had to stitch(sew?) my lip. Not a big deal actually but hell...6 adults were not able to hold me down. And I was like 5 years old.

Imagine my face when i worked as a paramedic while my civilian service time, and had to measure peoples blood glucose. If some doctor does that to you...yo can look away or something like that, but while doing it to other persons, you can't look away....well you can but you definitly should not

However since then I am not that afraid of em anymore....still I could never be a drug addict. Stitching yourself...no fuckin way D:

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

I nearly drowned as a child, so I'm not a big fan of deep water myself. Also, I detest needles.

 

I was told a story of, when I was but a wee lad, it took four full grown adults to hold me down to give me an injection, I don't remember it, but I guess it was such a trauma that U blocked it out.

[manam]

I can't swim at all, so water is a huge fear for me. I stay away from pools and lakes as much as possible. I was afraid of needles for a long time too, but getting a tattoo from shoulder to shoulder combined with being in the hospital for an appendectomy has done a lot to help me get over that. I definitely understand the fear of needles though. When I was in grade school, I'd cry every time I had to get a shot.

[ds64]

For me, its:

Aeroacrophobia - Fear of open high place

Catapedaphobia - Fear of jumping from high and low places

 

-Falling off of balcony's (like when I'm resting my arms on the edge of one)

 

Almost the same for me,

I think I have that phobia when I'm still in the middle school age,
When I'm on vacation with my families, I jump from the second floor...

 

[LordJerle]

I don't like shopping.  That's a phobia, right?

I'm also not too fond of crowds either.

[dinomagick]

I have a fear of open water, sharks and drowning.
