My name is AmberBoobar and I am afraid of frogs:ohwell: . Not any type in particular, all of em! They can be big fat bullfrogs, or teeny tiny garden toads. On the other hand, I LOVE:heart: turtles... sea turtles, paints, snapping ones. ALL OF EM. So come on, spill it. What is your irrational, can't explain it, can't get over it... FEAR? (I'll be off line for the weekend, but can't wait to see if I am the only CRAZY one out there when I check on Monday morning!) :wink:

    I don't think I have any irrational fears, except the dark, if that qualifies as irrational...
    I used to love bugs when I was little, but now I'm just scared they bite me - lady bugs, catterpillars, moths, butterflies, dragonflies. I can appreciate their beauty, but can't touch them.

    bees... well bees, yellow jackets, wasps.. anything yellow that has a stinger and flys... when i was a kid i stepped on a wasp's nest and got stung like 30 times...

    i was wearing a leotard and tights so the stingers got caught in the lycra and just kept stinging me.. it was very painful...

    Ok so I'm afraid of balloons the latex kinds..... See I had this really crazy Kindergarden teacher who told us that if a balloon popped in our faces and some went in our mouths we would die because it would seal up our throats. :noway: Nice lady huh? So ever since then I'm very jumpy around balloons. My friends find this hilarious :grumble:

    I know it's obvious etc, but spiders. Not just your average everyday phobia no.. the type where I am paralysed with fear. I wish I wasn't like this... my fiance gets really frustrated when I lose my mind over a spider, the drama is unreal. All my friends at one stage in their lives have gone travelling, Australia etc, the reason I haven't is because the spiders are bigger there...

    I know they can't hurt me (no poisonous spiders in Ireland) I don't KNOW why I am so scared..

    I am also really afraid of butterflies. Not as bad as spiders though lol xx

    My big one is fire.... If i go to a house and there's a candle burning or the fireplace is lit or a gas stovetop is being used, the odds are good that i'll be more preoccupied with keeping on eye on those than the conversation/activities taking place.

    You can also put me in the flying bugs with stingers category as well...

    Climbing down ladders. I can climb up, sure, fine, no problem, but down? Nope. Not a chance.

    Oh, and house centipedes. Creepy little guys, they are. Nice as peaches (and eat all the spiders) but all those legs!!

    Chickens/geese/ducks. From afar or when I have a gun in my hand... super. Near my feet - nu uh. I grew up on a farm and I had to go get eggs and tend to the coops. I got pecked and chased so many times it just became a phobia. My dad still makes me do this chore when Im home. Stupid chickens.

    Things that fly and you don't know where they are going. Like flies, bees, wasps, a ball hit by a batter.... I have a some what irrational fear of them flying at my face... I will literally flip a *kitten* if something flies near my face lol

    It's kind of rational as I was always that awkward kid in gym who got hit by the most random crap. And I've been stung by a wasp that was swatted away from someone else.

    Cats... and not big ones like tigers and lions. I'm talking about the run-of-the-mill, fat tabby that likes to nap in the sun. Terrifying! (to me, at least)

    Water, even when it rains hard it creeps me out and I'm so scared the house will flood. Taking my Son to baby swim lessons when the water is up to my thighs I am on edge the whole time. Once I fell backwards and flipped out. I couldn't manage to stand up and the lifeguard running the lesson had to help me. Even having a bath makes me uneasy, hence why I shower.

    Spiders mostly. And I refuse to look out windows at night. But the weirdest one is standing in doorways. I saw a horror movie when I was little where a guy was peeking around a doorway and it slammed shut and cut his fingers off. *shiver*

    Edit: Oh! And deep water. You will NEVER catch me on a boat unless the water is crystal clear and I can see the bottom.

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm not being funny. I go into a panic attack mode if I happen to pass by either one of them on TV. Have never seen the Depp version but I have seen posters so I know what it looks like. My heart is racing just thinking about it.

    Claustrophobic! I have that crazy, irrational fear of enclosed spaces. The Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland had me hyperventilating!

    I don't fear bees/wasps/hornets/yellowjackets, but I have a very healthy respect for them. I'm quite allergic to their stings, so I do my best to stay away.

    And I wouldn't call it a fear, really... but clowns. Oh, they can freak me out. There is something unnatural (to me) about clowns. And mimes.
