Seaweed, If it touches my foot I suddenly can swim better than michael phelps to get back to shore.
Fear of the number 13? I know that without having to look it up, sadly enough. I found myself on a website boasting a list of phobias on it once, it's a word you don't forget too easily.neil1990 said:
I hear this is quite common in some Asian countries, along with the number 4. They go so far as to re-number floors in appartment buildings so that floors 13 and 4 are missed out. In China the number "four" is pronounced similarly to their word for "death" which is where that particular superstition comes from. That's what you get for playing too much Silent Hill.
OT: I can't deal with insects, spiders, heights, needles or cutting of skin and I really don't like flying in an aeroplane. But I wouldn't call any of them phobias because I don't display the typical symptoms of a bonafide phobia. I overreact and I'll do anything to remove myself from the situation, but it's not severe enough to be classed as a phobia. I'm just a wimp!
Fucking spiders, man. All of the spiders near where I live are totally harmless, but I swear to god I refuse to go into a room with one in it without some sort of long object to smash them with. I slept with a long bread knife under my pillow for a few weeks after seeing literally two (admittedly quite large) spiders in my room. I swear I would probably go insane if I had to sit in a room with a spider on each wall.
I have a fear of deep water, specifically the ocean. I'm fine in swimming pools, and in shallow water, but put me in a large body of water where I can't see the bottom and I get the creeps.
On a related note, I'm utterly terrified of shipwrecks. Just looking at one gives me chills.

it's a syringe that was put there with a needle
I forgot to add before that the phobia of needles in not so much the needle itself, but the fact that it enters the body! I hate the thought of anything that shouldn't be in the body being in there! Splinters stress me out, and the thought of ant kind of transplant makes my skin crawl... I will also kill any wasp that comes near me, little bastards! The worst one though is needles... they don't just enter the body, they leave something in there too!
Some everyday things I can live with, mostly by not looking into them too much and coming up with my own ides...Liquidacid23 said:
The initial peircing scares the hell out of me, but then the area around the piercing heals, so eventially the earring isn't actually in the body as such, there is now just a hole in the ear it goes through... its different say to someone sticking the earring into their ear, without it exiting, and then just leaving it there! That I don't like at all!!
Like all the kids who used to stick staples in their arm at school because they thought it was cool! It wasn't! That is just horrid to me! It hardly goes in, and doesn't do damage, but it WAS in the arm!
I had a spliner in the palm of my hand once that I couldn't get out... it was too deep, and you couldn't even see which end it had gone in! It bothered me and bothered me, but all I ended up doing was pushing it in further... eventually I got a sharp knife, and sliced along side it, creating an opening on my hand that I could get it out of! Left a nasty scar, but I was instantly releived! It had got to the point where all I could think about was this thing in my hand, and it becoming infected, or somehow fusing with my body and becoming permanent...!
no i dont think so, i dont like train or heights but thats many do to the danger that is associated with them and i can easly get over it. so no i dont.
Then I hope you realise the way in which I am justified in calling you a freak, good sir!Liquidacid23 said:that tattoo in the pic was done pick'n'poke.. that means no gun I put a staple in the end of a pen and stabbed myself leaving one tiny dot of ink at a time for hours
Fair play to you though, I doubt many people without the phobia I have couldn't even do that!!
I don't know if it's a form of claustrophobia, but I don't like being in very crowded areas (like a concert) and be smack dead in the middle. But it's not like I'm afraid of going into elevators and airplanes. Also, I have a paticular fear and hate (probably because it happend to me more then once that they tried to use my leg as their new chewing toy) of dogs.
I have had an irrational fear of volcanos ever since I saw one of those videos in elementary school. Other than that just minor claustrophobia.
