General Chat / Phobias

Slugs and Bogs.

Bugs(any type). Sleeping with my door shut. Someone is always lurking behind me.

Wow, 2 pages in under an hour.

Is that a joke cause, not to be mean, but those are some strange phobias.
It would have had to take somthing VERY scary to be scared of those.

Wow, a lot of people seem to be scared of bugs in general, I didn't think there would be that many people here with a bug phobia.

...mascots & clowns...

Deep Water. If I'm in a steady boat I am okay. But swimming in deep water.... could be hungry shark infested waters or just an empty resivour (sp?), it's all the same to me.
Ironic too, considering I am an avid swimmer, skiier, and boater. Much of my liesure/enjoyment time is spent on deep water.

Heights. Unrestrained heights, I mean. I'm okay on any roller coaster you can throw at me because of the bars and seatbelts and everything, but if I'm on a tall hotel balcony...actually I won't go onto a tall hotel balcony, at least not near the rail.

There are probably others, but I can't think of any right now.

Public Speaking

Thats about it.

Sharks...I have an irrational fear of them, that transcends "phobia".

Losing a limb, particularly an arm. Weird huh?

I wouldn't say I have a strong phobia of spiders, but I do really hate them. I have no problem swatting it or picking up a daddy long-leg and throwing it out, I just don't like doing it.

Also, giant seqouia (spelling...?) trees at night. We were driving through the National Park and I don't know why but they just gave me a bad feeling. Not sure about that being a phobia.

Did I mention that I also have Peladophobia?

Heights, at times. I had a panic attack on the 120' Wonder Wheel at Coney Island two days before riding Nitro.
Serious Injury.

Stupid people...

and annoying people.

(I wonder if those are real phobias?)

Falling out of a car on the freeway and being run over to death.


...and snakes, and needles.

so that's why mere was "moved" by open water

anyway...

bees/wasps/yellow jackets/etc.

needing to exert myself at anything

and I'm a little apprehensive with extreme heights, and extremely deep ocean...

you never know what's in there o.O; plus, all that space being filled with that much water... it's not right!

Semi Trucks. When I'm behind them on the freeway I'm always afraid there going to tip over on me.

Actually Chris, the shark aspect of Open Water isn't what moved me....it was the dynamics of their relationship, and things that I have seen and experienced in my life with regard to said dynamics that moved me....yes the sharks are scary too...but that wasn't the reason.

Drowning

I'm a lifeguard!


I hate jellyfish, they scare the fuck out of me.

1. HEIGHTS, bigtime. Like Moonspoon, its more of the unrestrained stuff, if I go near the railing of an edge then I get really dizzy and stuff. But I especially get it with planes. I LITERALLY hyperventilate on planes, you can't breathe, you can't think, the throwing up, the whole deal. It sucks. But planes kinda combine with the next one.

2. DEATH. Enough said, I think.

Oh. Well see, I have no problems with planes. I quite like the taking off part where you go FASTLIKEHELL!!! and the landing part. I don't like flying because of the sheer boredom of being stuck in that stupid fucking plane for 3 hours when you're not taking off or landing. Then again, I always fly Southwest, which may explain my boredom.

It's called Anthropophobia.
