What's your Phobia? Mine is of most insects. If there is one in my house, I'll do anything and I won't sleep till its either dead or out of the house. When I kill them though, I try to do it quickly. Some kids I know like to make them suffer but that's going too far. Err....I'm getting off subject, though. Anyways, post them here!

OA
 
Good idea! I thought about this one myself a while ago :D

My phobia is spiders :cry: big spiders mainly if a small one is in the room with me it doesn't bother me much . But when I see a biggie I just turn into a big baby and either run out of the room until it's gone or if it's running across the floor I stand on a chair petrified :nervous: pathetic though it is, I don't know why I suffer this phobia I have had since a child ( yeah I do I got it from my mum, and my dad used to tease us with them :mad: )

I did think I wasn't all that bad with it anymore until the other week when there was 2 big 🤬 sharing the room with me. I had to get my 11 year old son down to try and remove them :o He couldn't catch them so I went bed :(

I hate spiders! :cry:
 
I hate spiders. The little ones i don't have a problem with, but those big, black, hairy spiders. Horrible.
But i have to kill them myself, because my girlfriend hates them even more.
 
If you must know, I really do not know, I've never contemplated scenarios well enough to develop phobias over them, I am obsessive compulsive, so maybe I have many?

I guess I have a fear of radical socialists, mostly that they'll talk and give me indigestion.
 
:lol: You have OCD?? Maybe I should find your house, go inside, and open all of your cabinets, dresser draws, and anything else I can mess up and see how you react. That would be pretty funny.
 
i'm afraid of bees mostly. i used to get stung alot when i was younger. they dont scare me as much anymore, though. also, I'm afraid of the alien type thing. It interests me, but whenever I watch a UFO documentary or movie, it scares the bejesus outta me.
 
heights. i don't care climbing to a certain height, it's going back down that's hard.
 
Hights here too...if I'm in a controlled situation, like in a car on a bridge, then I'm fine, but if it's like on a farris wheel or looking over a rail, I'm dying. I get that feeling like I'm already falling and stuff. The worst was in the Arch and in the Farris wheel at 6 Flags STL...the arch got me with the elevator ride...when you look out the window there's stairs that go all the way up and that with the shifting of the elevator car that kinda got to me...also looking out the little windows at the top. The Farris wheel was always a problem with me...my dad loves to swing the car back and forth, and once our car stopped at the very top, I was like 8 at the time, and it was honestly my first time up there, and I was ok if I didn't look out, and then my dad started rocking the car(at about a 60 degree angle each way)and I just lost it...I started screaming at him and actually sat on the bottom of the car till we got lower down...

Ohh and the Rock and Roll hall of fame in Ohio...there's little floors in there, about 6 floors in the place, and the rail is all glass and the top 3 floors have stairs(there's elevators too) and they jut out from the floor overhanging the bottom level some 40 ft below, and it's all glass and me and my mom just couldn't do it...we took the elevator.

Really, nothing else gets to me...I'm sort of anti-claustrophobic, I like cramming into boxes and stuff...the only other thing is the dark...like pitch black because I can't see anything and if it's quiet it also kinda gets me on edge.
 
I'm a bit like Maz, in that, short of actually being trapped, being in a box is not frightening to me.

@ Puffy, "ooops" :confused: haha! j/k :D

Becoming a dad when not ready for it scares the hell out of me, as it should you Puffy! ;)

Although, I'm not to entirely sure that I have any fears that are strong enough to consider a phobia.
I am not the biggest fan of heights, but I will strap on my snowboard and and huck myself off of a 50 foot cliff. I suppose though that is what makes it exciting for me. The fact that I do have a little fear of heights, but I jump anyway. It's rather intense. :eek:

Don't really care for anything with more than 4 legs. But if I do come across something like that I just usually deal with the situation and move on.

And what Slip said. :p

But, all in all, nothing much scares me enough for me to consider it a phobia.
 
Rabid Arachnophobia here. Stems from a childhood incident that gave me a paralyzing fear. If I see one a distance away, the reaction is less severe. However if it surprises my, I've had violent and extremel adrenilne filled agressive reactions. I closed my eyes during the bite scene in spiderman.

Acrophobia. Bridges, skyscrapers, even step ladders.

A combination of Taphephobia (also spelled Taphophobia) and claustrophobia. While small spaces (elevators, closets, bathrooms) don't bother me, the thought of being trapped in a culvert, or a coffin makes me paranoid.
 
I have a fear of heights. If I rationally know that I'm safe, like in a skyscraper or something, I can control it, and even almost enjoy it! The sensation when I stood on the glass floor in the CN tower was amazing! But if I'm not sure that I'm safe, I become almost paralysed.

I'm also afraid of being bitten/stung by insects. I can see them, and they don't bother me, but if I think I'm at risk of being bitten, I get all cowardly. For this reason, I don't like to be in darkness when I know that insects are around, but otherwise darkness doesn't bother me.

I suppose that, thinking about it, I'm actually more generally afraid of situations which are likely to cause me pain.
 
OK, my closest thing to a phobia is fear of heights. On anything with a railing, I'm well enough, but I don't like to lean over it much because of that 'getting sucked over' feeling. I hate roller coasters, not because of the speed or motion, but because I feel that I'm going to fall out of the car at the top.

The worst thing I ever had to do was climb onto the roof of a 3-story building from a bouncy 30' ladder that was sitting on the tailgate of a pickup truck, and still about 2feet too short to make it up to the roof edge. I did that, but it took a while and I went *really* slowly.

It's funny, because I've ridden in open-cockpit airplanes while doing aerobatics, and wasn't phased in the least. Another time the pilot dove straight down from 20,000 feet and pulled out about 50 feet off the deck, and I was like 'cool!' For some reason, that's not the same feeling of 'height' for me.
 
spiders, the big mothers!! little skinny things are ok. Claustrophobia: just really small places or lifts full of people getting stuck!!..........
Oh and of course the fear of slip being disconected from his lifesupport.....OH.. i mean the PS2! :lol:
