I'm trypophobic. I won't explain it without getting the willies, you can google it.

Spiders. Although I had to get over that pretty fast once I had kids. I can actually now kill them with just a tissue. It used to take some sort of spray and the vacuum cleaner.

Yess!!! I can't have someone walking behind me on stairs. I don't know why but it scares the heck out of me!!

I either let them go a head (which probably makes it seem like i want to check there bum out hahaha) or I BOOK it down/up which usually ends with me tripping.

It's a hard life! :P

I have the same issue, I mean I guess with stairs in my house I can rush it up, but it also happens when walling down the street, something creeps me out if they behind me. Need then next to or in front of me all the time.

THANK YOU!!! I get chirped so hard because no one understands why i'm scared of something so weird. I have the walking issue as well but not as bad as my stair one. On the street I get antsy if someone is behind me but I generally walk pretty fast so I usually get far a head of them fairly quickly. However, if this is at night its a whole nother story hahaha! That terrifies me!! (but i think thats a common fear: night time walking with a stranger lurking behind you)

I do....I'm mean it is as irrational as it gets. =( Last time I told someone over the Internet.. they posted pics. So none of you will EVER know.

I am terrified of tornadoes. When there are warnings I move everything & everyone to the basement just in case.

You would hate me. I'm the crazy one that runs outside to find them. That's after I get my kids to their safety area.

stuntpilot51

I love thunderstorms and tornado's in fact I go outside during a tornado warning just to catch a glimpse of one.

I live in tornado alley and as I type thunderstorms are approaching. :happy:


My phobia would be dancing! You couldn't drag me kicking and screaming onto a dance floor.

I enjoyed the one about static shocks, as an electrician I've been hit so many times it actually feels good now, except when I get one from a neutral on a flourescent ballast, now that's painful especially if it's 277 volts.

I have an irrational fear of drive through car washes. Have since I was a small child. My husband wont even go near them with me in the car, though I tell him to go all the time - I just close my eyes and breathe into a paper sack I'm completely normal...

I don't know that this is crazy, but it is seriously irrational. I am hugely claustrophobic. I had no idea until I went camping with my husband - after my mud run/obstacle course last year - and we were trying to sleep in this small compartment in the tent (just big enough for two people). Once we had the zip closed, I started to feel like I couldn't breathe and then had a full on panic attack. I felt like I was being buried alive. It was so weird and we ended up having to sleep in our car, which is much bigger than the tent. It's happened a couple of times since then but nothing major, mostly because I haven't been squeezed like a sardine into anything since that fun little incident.

I don't have irrational fears. I do like bringing the subject up so I know how to scare someone later.

This is why I keep my mouth shut!

miranda_mom

I hate, hate, hate birds. They are the devil. My funniest bird story is that one day I was driving down a rural road and I saw some vultures (vultures! - I had no idea we even had them here) and I screamed and locked the door. Everyone kept making fun of me because I apparently believed that they would open the car door and come in. But seriously... I mean, they were vultures.

I also have a thing, I don't know if I would call it a phobia but I hate all noises involving mouths and throats. So like, people around me chewing, coughing, clearing their throats. I can actually get panicky about that sometimes. I have to wear headphones all the time at work because I have a co-worker who has a medical condition that causes her to cough - ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. Gross.

skullshank

i have this absolute phobia of our government.
i fear that they will start chipping away at our rights and freedoms and use terrorism and drugs as justification.
but my worst fear is that people won't notice or care and just accept it.







oh wait.

Well I had thought that my big fear was great huge hairy scuttley eight legged spidery things, but now you mention it....

sorry. forgot to mention it's extremely contagious.

bethmakesmusic

Miranda_mom: I totally feel you on the bird fear. They are evil and I am convinced that they are all secretly waiting for an opportunity to peck my eyes out!!!! THEY FREAK ME OUT!!!!

I also have an issue with slugs. My husband had to walk to the garage first if its damp out, to tell me where the slugs are. Basically I'm a nut job.

desireedare

I've taken a bullet when I was in the military, but nothing scares me more than a friggin spider! I'm helpless in their presence.

this made me LOL

:sad: I have a major fear that I am going to get locked in somewhere and not be able to get out. I never lock car doors. I had a friend of mine disable the feature on my car that automatically locks the doors when you put it in drive. I don't like to have the doors locked when I am in the house. We never lock our bedroom door or the bathroom door. At work I will wait until I am the only one in the bathroom and hold the stall door closed instead of turning the lock when I need to pee. When I was in college we were playing hide and seek one night (highly intoxicated). I told my friend I was going to hide in the trunk of my car and asked her to come get me in a few minutes. She forgot me! About 30 minutes had passed from the time I closed the trunk to the time she remembered and came back with several other friends and opened the trunk. That is when the freak outs about locks started. I know it was my own stupid fault for getting in the trunk and that it is highly unlikely I will get locked in somewhere, but I can't shake the fear.

Im the opposite. I grew up with a city family so I was taught to lock my car doors especialy when Im driving alone. And my house is like Fort Knox. Im afraid of the little entrepeneurs' in my neighborhood customers breaking in :-\

Ohmydaze

I don't if you have all seen Kindergarten cop but there is a part when Arnold looks out the window and see the psycho crazy dude right outside his window in the rain with a gun. Basically that is my fear since I saw that. I literally can't walk past windows in the dark or the rain. I run past or close the blinds with my eyes closed. Weird.

Oh my god, this.

I have this hideous fear of faces at windows.. My 13 year old neighbor thinks it's funny to peep through the window after she knocks.. freaks me the hell out.

Edit - Emetopobia..

That's a phobia? Wow. I think I have that. I discovered how NOT to be sick when I was pretty young, and whenever I'm nauseous now i get all shaky and panicky, and scream at people until I can get some water. I haven't puked since I was about 9. I struggle when people puke on TV, I hate when people puke around me, I have to leave if someone thinks they're going to be sick. A teacher made me keep a sick girl company on a bus ride home once.. that was horrible. I feel really selfish and guilty about it, but I could never be the friend that cleans up puke on a night out. I don't go to parties where I know people will be drinking until they vomit.. The biggest thing is, I wanted to be a paramedic or doctor. I felt like it was my "calling" y'know? But I realized I would have to deal with people vomiting, likely ON me. And I just couldn't cope with that, so I changed all my A level choices, and no longer plan to be a med student.

How sad. :frown:

comogirl

Worms, I'm absolutely petrified of them

Yay! We both have the same phobia. I knew I wasn't the only one!

We must be neighbors so to speak. I am a Missouri girl. Tornado alley as well. Which state are you in?

alabamawhirley

Rats and ocassionally mice.

Even if they're just on TV I feel physically sick. I think it's because when I was about 8 my brother put his pet rat in his pocket and started stroking my face with it's tail.

shady1987dre

Im afraid of monkeys throwing poop at me.

JennieAL

Crazy & irrational... nah, mostly just the typical phobias... heights, small spaces, someone breaking into the house to get me, dying in an accident, cancer, public speaking... dying and there being nothing after.

BandedTriaRN

sharks, spiders (but that is because of being bitten by a AZ brown recluse spider), dentists (after going to a Dr who made me feel like I was Duston Hoffman's character in "Marathon Man")

JoeyTajzai

Rollercoasters =(

CoCoBean14

Absolutely: I have a fear of stunningly beautiful women. I love looking at them, I just can't bring myself to talk and flirt with them. I know, I should, but I can't.

aww there are women who find that endearing

kikiboniki

It's not really a fear.. its more like an idiosyncrasy.. I hate touching paper when my fingertips are dry. its like nails on a chalkboard. i am a teacher and I have to use the cashier fingertip moisturizer or I can't pass out papers without cringing.

jasonfndr

Would have to say mine is the sirens on dams. When they blow their sirens right before they open it up I start to panic.

KimmyEB

I'm trypophobic. I won't explain it without getting the willies, you can google it.

I have NIGHTMARES about the stuff that a google image search provided for that!! I have for several years, now! I hate it. Seeing stuff like that makes me feel like I'm gonna be sick at any moment...I always thought I was just weird. I guess I'm not the only one!

Akijade

Bees and Wasps. I am absolutely terrified of them.

I really don't think it was a good idea to publicly say that you never lock your house while you’re there.... Or your car! You have a lot more serious things to worry about then being locked in! Now you have to worry about creeps coming in your house or opening up your car door and doing who knows what to you! ..... Bad bad idea!! :noway:
