Its one of those radom facts that I can't forget lol

my dad used to use this idustrial stuff can't remember what it is but it used to make bugs explode it was funny all you could hear is this poping sound plus it smelled like a fake orange a plus in my book.

I also have an irrational fear of moving water on my face which is a bit weird don't mind swimming pools but can't have shower water on my face.
 
Bridges. I don't trust them. At all.

[Edit: You mind adding more, like why you don't trust them [even if this "irrational phobia"])
 
Name Your Phobias

If there is a thread about Phobias, this can move there :)

It's just like the title says, name any kind of phobia you have, I'll start :awesome:




Arachnaphobia - Fear of spiders
I HATE SPIDERS!! I've been scared of spiders for most of my life, just thinking of them gets me all itchy.

Aphiphobia - Fear of bees
What can I say, there's too damn much of them and they sound scary

Claustrophobia - Fear of enclosed spaces
I hate the thought of getting stuck, or feel like the walls are getting much closer, I hate feeling of being stuck in one place

Venustraphobia - Fear of beautiful women
Yeah, I got this. If a very beautiful women comes and talks to me, I just look away, and talk very slowly. I have low self-confidence when a hot woman talks to me



I have more, what are yours?
 
Spiders - Well only the big ass ugly ones scare me, I just tend to squish the small ones and feel sick >.<

Small spaces - Yeah I hate them to, I hate the feeling of not being able to move, lifts scare me in case they don't open haha!

Bees/Wasps - Again, I hate these to. The buzzing and thinking they will sting me at any point. It's made worse by the fact I haven't been stung yet.

Anxiety - I suffer from quite bad anxiety, I tend to think everybody who looks at me automatically thinks badly of me. This makes going on public transport hard, I can do it, I'd just rather not.

Heights - They make me feel sick but only if I'm standing on the edge where it is easy to fall!

Sorry for not putting the actual names to these phobias I just can't be bothered to look them up when the internet seems to want piss me off by going slow!
 
Moths! I hate them, everything about them sickens me!!! They're harmless and yet they disgust me so much!
They don't bite, they're fluffy and up close on TV they're cute... but the way they flutter and smash into things and bump their heads on the ceiling creeps me out!!!
The way they seem to stalk you wherever you go and to me it really seems like they're trying to attack me!!

I hate them and wont go near them!!

the really teeny tiny ones aren't so bad though, I can smoosh them no problem :P

I think I might have a tiiiiny issue with small spaces too, coz if my BF hugs me too long or I am in a crowd at a concert I start to freak out haha
 
Hmm are spiders really an irrational fear tho? They CAN KILL YOU!!!!! ;_; I think fearing them is pretty rational!
 
After my student teaching at the middle school (and student teaching in general), I developed a panic disorder. Every day I have some sort of panic attack or I am constantly anxious. It seems to have manifested to me worrying about my heart stopping when it gets to low or too high, even though I have had EKGs, blood tests, a 24-hour holter monitor and other tests that deem my heart as healthy and in no danger of stopping suddenly.

Aside from that, I think my only other irrational phobia is aerophobia--the fear of flying. In this case, I'm not afraid of having a panic attack on the plane, but rather the plane crashing and me dying.
 
I'm afraid of three things. Heights, Sharp Objects and Spiders. I almost freak out just driving over a bridge, I never walk over them, the vertigo really gets to me. Spiders are creepy and gross. And sharp things well.. they cause pain and can kill you!

I imagine I'll end up dying by falling into a pit from a high bridge and it's filled with giant spiders with spikes on them. -__-

Mostly Spiders...Anything with long legs...=/
It's weird. I had a spider on me once and immeadietly I washed all of my cloth
 
phones. :ness:

Got one heck of a phone phobia concerning people that aren't in my immediate family. Someone calls me, there's no way I'm picking up. Text only!

It used to be really serious where I had to muster the courage just to call for my dentist appointment. x_x

Interestingly enough, I found a weird site that actually went into detail. Almost none of them apply to me. Despite that, I still think I'm alone on this. :gonk::argh:
Causes:

  • fear of confrontation (why are you calling me?)
  • fear of ridicule (why do I want to talk to you?)
  • fear of miscommunication:
    • fear of being misunderstood
    • fear of misunderstanding
    • fear of forgetting what you wanted to convey
    • fear of forgetting what you were told while on the phone
  • fear of irreversibly prejudging someone based on their voice alone:
    • fear of hearing the voice of someone you have not yet met but plan to meet in the future for fear of disliking the quality of their voice and inappropriately prejudging the person out of context
  • (cell phones only) fear of cell phones causing cancer.
  • fear of someone hearing your voice on the other line or hearing your own voice. Can make you uncomfortable.
  • It Can Also Be Scary Talking To Someone That You Can't See
  • Fear of calling and reaching the wrong person, fear of calling said person at an inconvenient time and being a bother or making the recipient mad at you.
  • Fear of lull in conversation and not being present to make a distraction.
  • Fear of running out of things to say, or not knowing what to say.
  • Fear of stuttering.
  • Fear of appearing boring. On the internet, you can take your time to respond in a creative way. On the phone, no time to think and sometimes you run out of things to say at all, and the silence is terrifying.
 
Necrophobia - Fear of Death

There's no escape for anyone, and despite my firm religious beliefs as a Pagan and the comfort and reassurance the Gods and Goddesses have given me, I still fear this, the possibility that there is nothing beyond this life. Never be able to talk, taste, feel, see, think, etc. Nothing but eternal darkness.
 
Phones/Mobiles: If I can't see a face then good luck getting me on a bloody phone of any kind. I hate them and always will. Frustrates my family and friends that I never call or text back. I really don't care though when this is concerned.

Clowns: My mother got me a Clown doll since before I was born. This is how extreme my fear is; Every night I would go across the room and turn it away from me so that its dead eyes wouldn't watch me sleep. Sometimes I even stuffed it into a box, taped it shut, turned it upside down then placed heavy stuff onto it so it wouldnt 'come and get me'. I hate clowns. HATE, HATE, HATE.

She had to give it to charity due to how scared I was of it.

Swimming: Can't swim from fear due to almost drowning at the age of nine. Nobody helped me when I called for help and it wasnt until I was giving into the darkness invading my vision that some stranger picked me up and carried me to land. Even lifeguards looked straight into my eyes and just looked at me in a bored manner. Thank goodness we have some people with souls. : /
 
Things looking at me Just creeps me out being stared at

Spiders They can kill you+they're creepy as hell!!

Swimming Wont give my reason only people I trust get that information

Some Supernatural Things Such as Dreams with dark forces in them,being alone in the dark,etc.

Darkness Always feel like something is following me
 
For me, my only proper fears are heights and flying. And, well, I don't like spiders but if need's be I'll pick one up and throw it outside or whatever.

Height isn't really irrational, but flying; well, not so much flying itself, as I WILL get on planes and go on them. But it's basically a few hours of hell once we've taken off - I think it's a mixture of the fear of heights and a fear of crashing. I know you're statistically more likely to die in a car crash and blah blah blah... but I'm always so scared it'll just drop out the sky.
Stupid thing is, it's only massive airliners I'm scared of. When I go flying with air cadets in the little two-seaters that only go about 1000 feet up, I LOVE it. But as soon as I'm on a massive airliner on a flight lasting over half an hour, I start to panic. Flying over the sea as well, I can't bear it, I'm always worried that there'll be some kind of mechanical failure and we won't be able to emergency land because we've flying over water... yeah, it's a bit of a pain when I go on holiday :wacky:
 
I'm scared of men. I think Phobia Wiki called it Arrhenphobia. At school I was always bullied teased by the guys, while the girls just left me alone, or tried to befriend me. Also my past relationships with men have been kind of bad and nasty, I didn't get harmed by them or anything, but they were pretty manipulative and called me weak, stupid, worthless whatever and then the next day they would apologise and just say that had a bad day. I haven't dated in years, I don't trust any guys, and whenever a guy tries to befriend me or date me, I just walk away from them.

I also have a fear of sowing machines. When I was younger I was watching scary stories, true or false ? And one was about a sowning machine that was in the girl's basement and came alive during the night. The story was false, but I was pretty traumatized by just the idea anyways.
 
My phobia is more than likely going to be ironic to those who have arachnophobia. I really have no problem with spiders at all, and hardly find them a bother (unless they're in my room in a spot they shouldn't be at). But one thing I absolutely hate is created by them. My fear lies into webs. Arachnestaphobia. Fear of spiderwebs, cobwebs, dustwebs, ANY kind of web - I just cannot stand the feel or the look of them. I've had several nightmares involving them when I was very young, and I gradually just got very freaked out by them. If I feel the smallest strand of web touch my skin, I will try and get if off, but you might as well think I'm having a seizure or something. :gonk: Absolutely hate them. And for the record, that biggest web thing that's wherever in Texas, it might as well be a replacement of hell for me. Looking at photos of it very much make me cringe .

I have another Weird one.

Absolute silence while being alone.

Yeah.... My aboslute wrost fear is Being alone in silence in the dark with a spider.

I can handel being Alone fine. and I can handle being Queit too. But not together. When is silent and Im alone. i feel as though people watch me. and I get paranoid. I feel as though im about to be killed. or Injured, or Kidnapped or tourtured....Its really terrifying to me. This fear is also what makes me a bad roomate. I need: Light and Music/Some type of sound. to sleep. or else I get paranoid and scared. I can live with both aslong as someone is Close by.

Another fear is:

The feeling of frozen time:

Y,know when something bad happens. and Time just seems to slowdown. Like when your nervous and Suddenly everything is 10 Times slower? I hate that. Its freaky. Its like the world is taunting me. Saying "Say your prayers. your gonna fail" and leaves you there to wallow away in Fear for what seems like an hour. I hate this.

Talking to someone with power.

I hate asking my teachers for help. Or being scared and have to ask my Family for somethings. I feel like if I say or do something. They will get mad at me. Even if its ok to ask them. I barely ask my teachers for help because Im scared theyll Think im stupid. I cant talk to my paraents or other family If im nervous or scared. Because I totally freeze up and think they'll get angry. This fear really sucks.
