Senseless Fears

Oh, thank the gods! I'm not alone in the fear of losing my teeth. Seriously, I have reoccurring nightmares about loose or missing teeth. I'm sure it means something...
Supposedly it means you feeling worried about your attractiveness, or are embarrassed about something.
I also heard that it was related to feeling guilty about something.0 -
Spiders, heights, revolving doors, deep water where I can't see the bottom, sharks, whales, crabs, the dark, vomiting (or being around it - I get panic attacks), clowns, grates on the sidewalk, etc. etc. etc. I could go on for hours. I'm just a weirdo who's scared of everything.0
-
millipedes...gross little creatures. Totally freak me out and they crunch when you kill them!! Oh also spiders and roaches...don't like those either. Eww...0

I have a crazy fear of spiders. My fiance makes fun of me all the time because I make HER kill the spider when I see one. I'd rather go hide in a closet somewhere. Thankfully, she's a kickass lady and she'll just sigh and get a shoe.
I know, totally not manly, right?
Also, I hate when people try to take pictures of me. That's mostly the reason why I have no profile picture. Probably because I smile creepily. Haha.
Last night I was doing the dishes, and the sink started filling up with water. All the sudden I see this big spider swimming in it trying to get to the side! I was all like OH HELL NO! So I sprayed water on top of it and forced it back under and it drowned. When it was floating at the top upside down, I called my son into the kitchen and made him scoop it out with a plastic cup. He tried to put the cup back in the sink! Throw that shniz away, boy, there was a spider in it!
That is a little extreme dear.0 -
snakes,0
-
Clowns, especially clowns with/making animal balloons. *cringe*
Spiders (but if they are outside I'm totally fine)
If a spider ever decided to dress as a clown and make animal balloons I would be screwed.0 -
I scream like a little girl and jump up on a table if there's a cockroach nearby. Live or dead, doesn't matter.
I can handle snakes and tarantulas, they're cool.I've kept a snake as a pet and used to hold some dude's spiders all the time, letting them crawl all over me.
I can jump off tall things, love the dark, fine in enclosed or open spaces...
but man, FRAK COCKROACHES.0 -
Driving over bridges that have water underneath...I have nightmares about them all the time.
every Sunday I have to drive over one and back again after I go to visit my Dad. I have to take a big gulp, and just drive over it like a crazy person. But the funny thing is everyone else seems to drive over the bridge crazily too :laugh:0 -
I know that my fear is very very strange. I am seriously afraid of ceiling fans!
When I was a kid we had bunk beds and I was on the top bunk. My sister refused to sleep without the ceiling fan and she always got what she wanted - so I ended up getting hit by the ceiling fan almost every night.
I do not have a single one in my house and I have a really hard time being in someone's house with them on.0 -
Power tools. Table saws, skilsaw, drills, jack hammers, sawzall. They all freak me out. For the longest time, I couldn't even watch people use them. Add to that list tools like backhoes and other heavy construction equipment used for digging and trenching. Steam rollers made me a little squirmy, too.
I've since gotten over it. Well, mostly. I built my own house in 2002-2003 and learned how to use those tools. Then I started my own construction company.
Table saws still have me feeling jumpy. I still don't like to watch other people using table saws, but I can safely use one myself.0 -
When I was about 4, my sister & I were playing in the yard.She started screaming & pointed down at my feet & legs. I had a TON of caterpillars crawling up my legs.
I still ain't over it.0 -
I am a gal who gets scared easily. I have to watch horror movies with a black mesh shirt over my face...because I don't really want to "see" it...but I don't want to miss it...LOL. Before I had kids, I would NOT put my feet on the floor between midnight and 6 a.m. - I was sure a monster would grab me and drag me to hell. Once I had kids...I had to force myself to get up for their feedings.
I find this not to be abnormal.
However - I have one fear that I KNOW is completely crazy...but I can't get past it..... Horses.
Horses are sooooo beautiful and I love to look at them...from very far away. I cannot touch one. I cannot get near one. I am convinced they will trample me on sight. But they are beautiful.0 -

I would've asked you to do it, but you weren't around! :sad: When I say it was big, I mean BIG! (that's what she said)0 -
I have a fear of vomiting. No, seriously. Even if I'm sick and I KNOW I'll feel better if I let myself... I just can't. It's gross. :sick:
Also, I hate being tickled. Not really a fear, just thought I'd share. lol
I also have a HUGE fear of vomiting, I've puked once in the last 10 years and there was absolutely no holding that back
That makes three of us...and I have a fear when my kids tell me "mommy, my tummy hurts" that it's nothing bad or contagious! I don't like things I can't handle. I also have a fear of amputees. Don't judge me.0 -
Vomiting. I'd rather writhe in pain and have a panic attack than vomit. o.O0

The other night, I was putting the grill away in the garage, and this giant wofl spider came out to say hello. The thing was about 2 inchesl long ay 3/4 of an inch wide. You probably would have freaked. I said live and let live. It's eating other bugs if it was able to grow that big. He's doing me a favor.0 -

YES! When my fiancé says his stomach is upset, I go in to a panic and flirt with an anxiety attack. Worst thing ever.0 -
A new fear of mine is being nuked by over zealous `world leaders`0

Same here. I get panic attacks. I went to my friend's bachelorette party last month, and when we got back to the hotel at the end of the night, she threw up in the bed, and I sat in the hall having a panic attack until everyone else got her taken care of. Then I took some Xanax and went to sleep in my car. :frown:I have a fear of vomiting. No, seriously. Even if I'm sick and I KNOW I'll feel better if I let myself... I just can't. It's gross. :sick:

Dinosaurs. I had a nightmare in the fourth grade I never fully recovered from. Jurassic Park is my 'Nam.0

OMG! That made me lol, but I can SO RELATE!!0 -
I have a crippling fear of stray dogs. I live in the country. I have to run to the car when leaving and I'm scared to check the mail because I fear there MIGHT be a dog. This brought on from when I was a little, riding a bike, all happy, and out of no where there are several large dogs chasing me.. Haven't liked "the outdoors" much since. ;[0

Outside I would be ok with. Grossed out, but ok. But not in my house. I think it was a nursery web spider. I put my hand in a really thick web one morning because I couldn't see it in the dark, and I was opening the back door to let the dogs out. Same type of spider had made a web from the doorknob to the bench next the door. I couldn't wash my hand long enough.0 -

I'm terrified of heights and flying but did a skydive and loved it.
I'm still scared of heights and flying after doing that though0 -

Neither of those would be my first choice anyway! :bigsmile:0 -
I'm going to go with the first one, as it's hard to embarrass me anymore and I have nothing to feel guilty about.Oh, thank the gods! I'm not alone in the fear of losing my teeth. Seriously, I have reoccurring nightmares about loose or missing teeth. I'm sure it means something...
Supposedly it means you feeling worried about your attractiveness, or are embarrassed about something.

Oh!! And thanks to the "creepy friend" GIF thread, I remembered my completely irrational fear of toys and dolls coming to life. I blame Chucky for this - I saw the movie when I was 6 or 7 and got so freaked out that I put all my dolls in the trash that night. I can watch the most horrific movies and not bat an eyelash...but put a freaking animated doll in it, and I'm out of the room in a flash...Gah, even thinking about it makes me want to never sleep again.0 -
Thought about leaving a scary gif behind. Thought. Nahh.
