Poll: What's your phobia/fear?

[xplay3r]

I get really nervous around like brackish water (water that you can't see through) Particularly at theme parks, like on the jarrasic park river boat ride at universal, ugh I mean I'll ride it but the thought of what's in there. On rides the water scare's me cuz I think if I fall in I'll get caught in a gear and be crushed or drowned or electricuted. Regular water, like ocean water, if I can't see in it, I get afraid that there's like posionis cretures and parhanas and shakrs and stuff in there. Just...ugh *shivers*

In alphabetic order;

Agoraphobia (Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places)
Anthropophobia (Fear of people or society) *Partly linked to my Angliophobia
Aphenphosmphobia (Fear of being touched) *Partly linked to my Angliophobia
Atychiphobia (Fear of failure)
Catagelophobia (Fear of being ridiculed)
Gelotophobia (Fear of being laughed at)
Katagelophobia (Fear of ridicule)
Ophthalmophobia (Fear of being stared at)
Rhabdophobia (Fear of being severely punished or beaten by a rod, or of being severely criticized.)

I'd say most or all these are because of the Social Phobia, rather than specific conditions.
Do you have these diagnosed?

Ants. Fuckin' ants. No matter where I go on my campus, there always seems to be huge fuckin' ant mounds everywhere. I hate going near those things.

I'm scared of heights and with that comes a fear of tall buildings and bridges. I get queasy just looking up at tall buildings.

I'm fine with flying though. Go figure.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Probably old age, and death. I just don't like the whole "ceasing to be" on any plane a bit disturbing. All your life amounting to nothing you'll ever really know.

 

[Diablini]

Mild fear of Eternity. I've learned to control it by not thinking about it.

 

[ThisTypeofThinking]

No afterlife.

 

[The Austin]

Claustrophobic, also, Hippoaphobic.....

Darn hippos.

 

[kahlzun]

irrational fear of knives.

Cannot be anywhere near someone using one, even if its a butcher or whatever. Freak right out.

 

[Hellenion]

I have Noscomephobia, which is a serious fear of hospitals. I get shaky and stressed when thinking or asked to go into one, and I refuse to go to hospital even to visit sick relatives.

I collect knives - and I always play Assassin/rogue characters in RPG's, lol,

Mine is sleep - I had some hallucinations at night when I was a young child - never got over it.

 

[Yegargeburble]

Arachnophobia. Spiders freak me right out.

 

[A Raging Emo]

I'm not really scared of them, but Insects. All of them. Ever.

I always thought that anything with more than 2 Eyes is a little bit strange, and anything with more than 2 Eyes and 4 Legs is a creature that should be saved for a Stephen King novel.

Disgusting things.

Acrophobia and Aracnophobia essentially, I can feel slightly claustrophobic in confined spaces but I don't fear them. My partner didn't realise just how bad my fear of spiders were until he told me there was a huntsman behind me. At first I thought he was joking, then he reasurred me there was (with a smile on his face) so I quickly grabbed his arm and he told me it was on my head (I don't doubt a Huntsmans stealth like ability for good reasons). I looked at the reflection in the glass behind me and cried because A. I was scared and B. He tricked me. He then told me he didn't know but then suddenly recollected my grabbing him by the arm and felt horrible.

I can handle most other types of spiders, so long as I have distance between me and them but Hunstmans, distance doesn't matter they move fast enough to close that.
