Phobias

[Twitchy]

Spiders.
I'm actually really weird about them. If its a small one, I'll pick it up and everything, but I'll scream and drop it the second it moves.

Dark
I'm not scared of the dark dark, I mean, sitting in a dark room doesn't bother me, its only if there is like a shadow or I hear a floorboard squeaking that I'll start to get scared.

My back garden at night
I'll quite happily go out at about 2 in the morning, pitch black night, but as soon as you ask my to go out into my garden at ngiht, I'll break out in a cld sweat. I dunno what it is, I just picture really bad things whenever I go out into my garden alone at night. Even when I'm with someone I'm clinging onto them.

I hate bugs. Seeing a gigantic hercules beetle (didn't seem native to BC...it was yellow striped, had a huge pincer, and could fly) attach itself onto our screen door yesterday was especially shocking. A recent ant infestation at our house also creeped me out, even when I was armed with those Raid sprays that paralyse and kill them.

So I have a tendency to try not to catch them unless absolutely necessary. My dad says I'll never survive in residence next year. :P

thats really odd yoshi. they're not native anywhere in the US or Canada I dont think. might have gotten loose from a private collector or zoo. something like that. even a pet store.

just feel honored it choose you lol.

[Siouxper]

Bugs of just about all kinds. I hate spiders though, every time I go to shower, I thoroughly check the bathroom for any spiders.

[Dragonfire]

I'm scared of heights, but it really depends where. I'm fine on a plane or on the top of a skyscraper where it's enclosed so no one can fall or jump off. But I hate getting on ladders and other high open places.

I'm also scared of bugs, but it's not really a phobia. As long as the bug doesn't come to me I'll be fine (heck, I'll even watch them).

Im afraid of my town's old fire whistle. It sounded like a dying cow that would 'moo' out codes to correspond with what street the emergency was on. It absolutely terrified me. They tested it every Friday at 11am, and my elementary school teachers would have to excuse me into the hall so I could hold my ears and hum over it. I'd interrupt class plenty of times to scream and go crazy if it went off unexpectedly. Sometimes I tried to listen to the noise, just to get over the fear, but I couldnt do it, and would start to panic every time.

That particular whistle went out of service when I was 11 or so, and they replaced it with a more normal sounding siren, thank god. It was okay to be afraid of something like that when you're just a small kid, but I was embarrassed to have it scare me so much when I got older. Worse though is that it still freaks me out. All I have to do is think about that horrible noise, and I feel the anxiety start up, and I have to think of something else. I still have actual nightmares about the sound.

I fear being alone. Not alone as in "im alone at home". I fear ending up alone in life. Recently with my family breaking up and other events I was becoming alone and I learnt that this fear was a bigger problem then I thought. Gives me panic attacks, days without sleeping and its not something you can just stop. So yeah, being alone.

[DM was on fire!]

i'm emetophobic.
and the entry had more but they edited it for some reason.

[Keakealani]

Uh...cameras and cars.

Well, cameras are more like "stay away from me" since I HATE (beyond rational hate) being taken picture of (although I'm slowly getting over it)

Cars, more like I'm deathly afraid of driving. I was planning to get up in the morning to do my first driving lesson, but it turns out that night I was so freaked out I had a horrible nightmare about driving and being flung out of the car and having my head smashed open...I just feel like I'll never be able to get behind a steering wheel without dying or killing someone.

Oh gee what am I affraid of. That could go on forever. I am mildly Autistic thats why.

Let's see, I fear spiders, always known that one and I wonder why my grandma is alive when she loves spiders. If there is a huntsman she calls it fred.

I have a bad fear of crowds. First realised at the 2000 new year celebrations where we got crushed. Since then I have never been in the city for a new year celebration

I have a fear of being in large groups of people. Although that is recently recognised, I now look back and realise I have had it since I was little. These days I do my courses correspondence.

And another favourite, which my mum tells me is very autistic is being afraid of going somewhere where it will upset me. Church is one. Although I am pretty religious, I haven't attended in years.

I have a fear of meeting new people.

A major fear of the phone. I can't stand making phone calls. And I am slightly afraid of answering them. It took me ages to get the courage to answer the phone at work.

[Kitten Medli]

Even waking up with one of these bloody things on my face didn't make me afraid of them. I still don't like them though.

that thing is wicked! where do those live? its just a giant cricket.

It's a Weta, it lives in New Zealand, and it would literally eat crickets for breakfast. Plus it's older than dinosaurs.

O__O

...

I like bugs but.. on.. your face..? Omg..

[Sugarinii]

Aliens, as Fire in the Sky completely traumatized me.

I am convinced that artificially intelligent robots will malfunction and kill you in your sleep.

Thusly there is no way that I am ever watching the Transformers movie, as they are, essentially, alien robots.

[Deadplant]

Bugs (big and small >.>), most reptiles, the dark, stalkers (not funny ones but the obsessive ones that look like this: O.O), being confronted and glass. Whether it's being pushed onto shards of glass or breaking it, I dislike it.

[Katherine]

BUGSI HATE them.I also don't like being up high for long periods of time.

[Kiyone]

Spiders.

I honestly get creeped out even from a tiny one.

Also, getting lost.
