Slaggis Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 What phobia's do any of you have, do you have any strange ones? Mine are Wasps - When I see one I freak out. Complete darkeness - When I can't see a thing I start to scare myself and sometimes have a panic attack. Anything other than complete darkness is fine though.
Jamba Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Strangely i dont seem to have one, at least not one i've found yet. So I shall leave you with a nice quote: Queen: "Do I tell people that your brother Harry is afraid of spoons?"
Paj! Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I don't like insects..maybe I have a phobia of them. A form of claustrophobia. I hate having my arms/legs restricted. Or even my head/face. It's no so much small spaces, just the fear of restriction.
martinist Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Crowds - even a gathering of 10 or so people scare the crap out of me Swarms - like insect or bird swarms, keep them the hell away from me >_<
jayseven Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I don't really like the open water - I don't go all "OH MY GOD GET IT AWAY FROM ME"... rather, I just sort of get a churning realisiation that this mass in front/beneath/around me could devour me and not even notice. The pure power an ocean has can be frightening...
Daft Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Spiders....I feel guilty if I kill them... Also ignorance.

The pure power an ocean has can be frightening... I forgot that one. Its the feeling that you just can't see whats beneath you and it could be something just staring, about to eat me. Horrible feeling. I get it in swimming pools in the deep end sometime, I'm that sad.
Tellyn Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Wasps. They have no purpose. They must be destroyed.
McMad Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 If I ever saw one of these for real I'd probably never stop shitting my pants.
Sparko Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Moths scare me, especially the giant ones that appear when it gets really warm. But my fear of moths pales in comparison to my fear of pigeons.. They always seem to wait until I walk past to suddenly burst into flight and it always sends me sprinting down the street like a lunatic, I HATE THEM!
welsh_gamer Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Spiders, Worms and Slugs - Dunno why I am afraid of spiders, but if I see one in the house, I panic and must kill it. If I fail, I search the whole room for it, and not rest till it has been disposed of. Worms and Slugs just look, and make me sick. A slug once stuck onto the bottom of my shoe, and thus I brought it into my house. Oh how I screamed when I found it in the bathroom in the morning. Vinegar - I despise the smell. If someone opens a bottle on the dinner table, I will go somewhere else to eat. When eating out, I make sure that no one open any vinegar. Suprisingly, peeps are ok with it.
martinist Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Im guessing you have never been to a concert or football game then martinist? hell no, sitting there with a couple hundred people surrounding me would give me a PA, i wouldn't be able to get out either. I can go to small local games but thats about it
Dante Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 My Phobias are; Wasps Spiders Open water Fear of heights Fear of needles
EchoDesiato Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I often have problems urinating in public. When there are people using the urinals in the same room as I am, I usually don't succeed in peeing out one drop of urine. That's why I always use a toilet cabin when I need to take a leak. The problems mostly gone when I've had some alcohol, though. God, I hope I'm not the only one with this problem.
Letty Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I have a phobia of: Balloons Mostly because they have the potential to pop at any second and scare the living daylights out of me. Maggots Had a couple of nasty experiances with these buggers. Dark Sometimes I even cant sleep because Im so worried that something might be in the dark
ViPeR Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I have arachnophobia and automatonophobia, the latter being a fear of inanimate statues or in my case mannequins. I can't fucking stand them in clothes shops I don't know why.

I'm the same mate :P I actually never use urinals, if the toilet cabin is occupied I walk out. How very strange
KKOB Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Spiders, i hate whoever posted that spider pic, really don't wanna scroll up to see it and your name again. I congratulate spiders for having amazing capabilities and surviving as well as they o, i just wish they'd all fucking die! bleeuuurgrgrghrhrhrhhh i HATE them. I suppose it is a fear thing, they just freak me out, i mean 8 fucking eyes! how on earth did they evolve 8 god damn eyes! 8 legs too, the ability to climb up anything and dangle, spin a web to kill bastards, they also have 2 penises, one in either ear, and the female spider bites off the used penis and the male scarpers off to think about his loss, all cos he was thinking with his now ingested dick.
motion Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Bees/Wasps. Hate them. Fucking hate them. Nothing apart from that, I'm well 'ard me. (oh and and extreme heights)
The Bard Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 No phobias. But then again, I'm not a crazy person. Getting slighly scared of something isn't justification for calling it a phobia. Phobias are full blown psychological conditions and my bets are you lot are over exaggerating your fear of whatever you claim to have a phobia of. I remember a thread on here about synaesthesia, and a fuckload of you claimed to have it. Fuck off. It's ok to not be special. Really.
EchoDesiato Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 You're special by not being special. Good for you!
Letty Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I remember a thread on here about synaesthesia, and a fuckload of you claimed to have it. Fuck off. It's ok to not be special. Really. Its not an uncommon thing you know.
Eddage Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Spiders. If I came across a tarantula I'd be fine, the little funky money spiders and ones of similar size, fine. However a spider that's about an inch big really creeps me out - you just never know where you stand with them as they can go in and out of your vision rather rapidly!
McMad Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I remember a thread on here about synaesthesia, and a fuckload of you claimed to have it. Fuck off. It's ok to not be special. Really. Okay I may not have a phobia, but my fear of Spiders is pretty irrational. And what the hell is synaethesia?
