Poll: What's your phobia/fear?

[Thisbedutch]

Terrified of spiders. I can't go in a room if I've seen one in there, get the urge to throw up if I'm surprised by one, can't look at pictures of them...I uh, I briefly had therapy for it but it didn't really help ^ - ^;

 

[Sir_Montague]

It's not so much heights as falling from them... I can get up on the roof fine, it's getting down and the whole falling possibility that bothers me so...

I'm afraid of spiders. I guess that counts as an animal phobia.

Sounds like Arachnophobia

Fear of heights, spiders, germs, buttons, surprise attacks, tornadoes/vortexes, being in public... Ya, I have issues...
Edit: music in public

 

[Kris015]

I have arachnophobia (fear of spiders), to a mild degree.

But then it's not a phobia, then it's just a fear, there is an big difference actually.

DID YOU KNOW: The most common phobia in the world is the fear of vomiting!

NOW YOU KNOW!

[Quadtrix]

Arachnophobia. Can't even kill spiders with a long-ranged item.

 

[Kingsman]

I'm terrified of phobia threads.

I'm going to type somewhere else now. *shudder*

It is. I just didn't want to click "other" for some reason.

 

[Gardenia]

Social Phobia, if that counts?
EDIT: Also, Aibohphobia

You have no idea how hard it is for me to resist quoting you with a spider picture right now.

Be thankful i'm nice, more or less.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Pretty simple. Tell me your phobias/great fears here, and also try to mention why you think you have developed it. Also, talk about fears and phobias in general.(Note: A phobia is a kind of fear that goes into obsession, it controls your to a certain degree etc.)

I have arachnophobia (fear of spiders), to a mild degree. I don't think about them all the time, but when I see a spider I usually get very distracted and makes sure it doesn't come closer.

I share your fear of spiders to a T. Only I don't just make sure they don't come closer, I kill them to make sure they don't come closer.

Fear of OCD.

How does that affect your average day?

Dang, sorry about not answering earlier. But you're the thread creator, so you'll probably get this reply. I hope.

Anyway; it usually makes me go around constantly worried that I'll develop a new OCD. And I mean constantly as in every second; I always feel pretty scared that I'll come up with something new I have to do. I had this OCD about looking for plot holes in all my favorite books, and then one about reading stickers on signs and walls out in the street and subsequently checking out whatever site they were advertising; my latest one (which I'm almost completely free of at the moment) is wondering "Did that site say Hemingway writes better men than women characters in A Farewell to Arms or in his works in general? Damn, I'd better go there again and check or I'll keep thinking about it every time I read his books."

 

[Kimarous]

I have a really bizzare fear of sharp upward inclines. It could be an escalator, a steep hill, or a plane taking off... I always feel like I'm going to fall backwards. Don't have a problem on the descent, though.

 

[Skeleon]

Well, I'm not sure I'd consider it a fully-fledged phobia, but I don't like planes.
It isn't so much the height (I'm a hiker and am mostly perfectly fine near an abyss) as it is the feeling of having no control over my fate.
If anything were to go wrong, I'd simply be fucked with no way out.

Clowns i tell you.. IT the movie really messed up my childhood, for it to never be the same again..

Sounds like a nightmare to be honest. A normal person would (for example) just look at the adress once and then forget it before they could reach a computer. And then forget they saw the sticker in the first place. I think I can understand your fear of OCDs now. Well played.
